Kaia FIT Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
I have been in the industry for over 18 years, first as a technician, then as a trainer for the SOFTAP hand-tool method. I approach the art of permanent makeup with the intent of enhancing my clients features, not overpowering them.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
I was already an esthetician, and make up artist. But when I had the chance to observe the SOFTAP technique, and how natural -looking the end result was, I was hooked!

What do you love most about your job?
.Whether it be working with cancer patients, burn victims, vitiligo clients, or being able to enhance someone's features. The ability to make a positive change in someone's life is the most wonderful feeling, and one that I hope to continue.

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?
Having a client cry while telling me that their life was forever changed (in a good way), by having had me do their makeup.
