Selected from nearly 1,000 entries, the finalists’ stories tell of success in the face of adversity and demonstrate that even they are not immune to the challenges of the past 18 months.

 

A self-confessed rebel, Polish born Monika studied clinical psychology to please her parents, but was drawn to the beauty industry after graduation. Alarmed by the unethical and unsafe practises that she came across, Monika created a superior product, launching initially in the US.

Latest pigment and ink requirements and how you are already affected. 

 

Permanent make up & tattoo industry pigments are under scrutiny and there’s a huge revamp happening in order to get all of the current pigments compliant. No matter who is your pigment manufacturer, brand you trust, country of origin, pigment colours and tones you use - everyone is affected as a list of 4000 hazardous substances are banned or restricted. Don’t be quick to think this is something you do not need to worry about, don’t be complacent. Ignoring these could mean your insurance is voided in case of a claim, your salon may be fined and most importantly, you’re not making the most ethical & safe decision for your clients.
