For over 16 years, our founder has been redefining beauty through artistry, education, and passion. As an award-winning makeup artist, permanent makeup artist, and licensed aesthetician, she’s built her career on one guiding belief — that everyone carries a glow within them, and sometimes, all it takes is a little care to rekindle it into a flame again.
Alissa is an alumna of Albion College and the Douglas J Aveda Institute.
Her expertise extends beyond the treatment room — she’s a mentor and educator dedicated to helping other beauty professionals succeed through hands-on training and business guidance.
It is her mission to bring knowledge and power to our clients through education and by providing client-focused solutions. Her vision with each client is to provide a flawless finish while highlighting their natural beauty. When Alissa is not in studio, she can be found spending time with my hubby and our two sons...wearing a top knot and makeup free!
At The House of Ember, our mission is simple: to create a space where luxury feels personal, where artistry meets intention, and where every guest — whether client or student — leaves feeling renewed, empowered, and inspired.
“Every person carries a glow – a fire, within them. My mission is to help reignite that ember — through beauty, connection, and the confidence that comes from feeling truly seen and cared for.”
— Madalyn C.
Microblading is a semi-permanent technique that deposits pigment into the upper layer of the skin, creating soft, hair-like strokes that mimic your natural brows. It helps correct, enhance, or reconstruct your brows — giving the illusion of fullness and a natural lift.
Nano Brows use the latest technology to create the same beautiful, hair-like effect as microblading — but with less trauma to the skin. It’s gentler, longer-lasting, and perfect for those who want a soft yet defined brow finish.
Powder fill brows create the look of filled-in makeup, while shading offers a softer, more natural gradient. You can also combine microblading with shading for a hybrid style that balances both definition and texture.
Lip Blushing is a semi-permanent technique that enhances your lip's color, shape, and symmetry — giving them a natural, soft tint and more youthful appearance. Imagine waking up with perfectly tinted lips every day!
Microblading typically lasts 9–18 months, depending on your skin type, age, and aftercare. Nano and powder brows may last longer — up to 3 years — with proper maintenance and color boosts.
Lip Blushing results usually last 1–3 years before a touch-up or color boost is needed.
Yes! We recommend touch-ups every 1-2 years to maintain your shape and color. Although, we do have many clients who are able to go over 2-3 years in between color boosts. Over time, pigment naturally fades as the skin regenerates.
Our clients often describe the sensation as mild or tolerable — more like light pressure or scratching rather than pain. Everyone’s comfort level is different, and we do our best to ensure a relaxing experience throughout your appointment.
(Note: For lip blushing clients, a doctor’s prescription is required if numbing is desired.)
Most PMU appointments take around 2 hours, including consultation, mapping, and treatment.
No separate consultation is required. We’ll go through a full assessment and mapping process during your appointment to ensure the perfect shape and color for you. We work together with you during the process and have you approve the shape and color that we draw before we begin.
Avoid tweezing, waxing, or using exfoliants like retinol a week before your appointment. Come with your natural brows visible — or bring photos of how you usually fill them in for reference.
We ask you to not drink caffeine or alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment to ensure the best results.
Your brows or lips may appear darker or bolder for the first few days — this is normal and will lighten up to 60% as they heal. Slight redness or tightness may occur but will fade quickly.
No need! Redness and swelling are minimal, and you can return to regular activities the same day.
Healing typically takes 7–14 days, though complete pigment settling can take several weeks.
If you’ve had work done by another artist, please contact us before booking. We’ll assess whether a correction or cover-up is possible.
We use advanced brow mapping to measure your unique bone structure and facial symmetry. Your natural hair color and skin tone guide our pigment choice to ensure your brows look beautifully natural.
Yes! Microblading and Nano Brows are two-step processes. Your perfecting session (done 6–12 weeks after your first appointment) ensures long-lasting, even color and refined shape.
Keep the area clean and dry — no swimming, sweating, or saunas until healed. Avoid picking, peeling, or using exfoliants. Protect your brows with SPF and avoid direct sun exposure for the best results.
