About Gwendoline

My career in the beauty industry began in 1987 followed by intense studies in the cosmetics and skincare industry. As I progressed, my reputation as a sought after special occasion makeup artist at boutique salons in and around Johannesburg soon delivered a full calendar. In January 2000 I qualified and began practicing as a Permanent Make-up Aesthetician at a busy salon in Eastgate. I attained the American Institute of Intradermal Cosmetics Masters Certification in October 2013. I thrive on staying on top of the cutting edge of my field – performing all the latest techniques by attending numerous local and international Advanced Permanent Makeup seminars, Master Classes. conferences and workshops.

A wealth of knowledge has been accumulated over this period of practical experience combined with on-going study within this vibrant industry. Vast experience, together with a thorough understanding of skin and colour, has placed me in a confident position to advise and perform in all areas of advanced permanent make-up, including para-medical applications.

In our society there is good reason for associating beauty with self-assuredness, confidence and success. If you feel beautiful, then you will be more self-assured and supremely at ease.

Professionalism is the cornerstone of this business. I personally select and use only the finest tools, equipment, sterilisers, anaesthetics and pigments. The colour of the pigments used remain predictable, making them the safest pigment on the world market. Sterile yet relaxed conditions are maintained at all times.

Permanent Makeup by Gwendoline is affiliated with local and international Plastic Surgeons, Dermatologists, Specialists and Medical Spa’s. We pride ourselves on maintaining the highest standard of sterility and genuine care for every client. Throughout, I have remained true to my spirit of excellence, a driving passion for my craft and my artistic interpretation has been witnessed by thousands of delighted clients who have passed through our doors since March 2000.

A confidential, personalised and in-depth consultation precedes every procedure performed – to ensure clients peace of mind and requirements are fully achieved.
Don’t hesitate to contact me personally to arrange a confidential consultation, complete with colour suggestions to suit your individual needs. I look forward to introducing you to the exciting range of benefits permanent makeup has to offer!
