About a year ago,
Elaine Pichet's name came up while I was getting a nail
manicure. I asked who she was and was told she did
permanent makeup. Now I only had the spelling of the
first name, and they gave me what they thought was her
last name. I got home and started on a Googling venture.
I found her name and called to set up for a
consultation. I had always wanted to have permanent
makeup and I was told she was the best. When I met
Elaine, I remember asking "O.K. what makeup are you
wearing?" She smiled back at me and said,
"Nothing." Her eyes and lips were beautiful. I was
totally taken back by her beauty and kindness. So
the process and friendship began. When I came in for my
procedure, I was a bit nervous and excited all at the
same time. She made me feel so wonderful and all my
anxious feeling went away. She took care of making my
eyes, liner (top and bottom), and brows look absolutely
beautiful. My brows were very thin and she filled them
all in. A couple weeks later I went back to have
my lips totally done. I really had never had a top
lip (so to speak, very thin), but Elaine gave that to
me. She was able to give me the appearance of having a
lip like others have. I could hardly believe when
it was all over and I had such perfect beautiful lips.
Even with the swelling (which was gone in a couple of
days). She has given me a new lease on life. It is
so wonderful to wake up in the morning and know that the
majority of my makeup is already on. I really like
being a walking billboard for her. I tell everyone
I meet about Elaine, especially when they ask how do you
keep your liner looking so nice and why doesn't your lip
color ever go away. Elaine thank you so much for
changing my life for the better. You are not only a
wonderful artist, but a wonderful person. I want
to thank you, Elaine. for a talent beyond belief… You
are awesome, and you have changed my life.
Sincerely,
- Terri B
I am absolutely
delighted with my new lip color. With aging, my natural
lip color was gone. Without lipstick, I truly looked
"faded out". I now have beautiful natural-looking lips.
Elaine is an expert in choosing the right shade of lip
color for my skin tone. I love not having to apply
lipstick, although I do use a lip balm with sunscreen
daily. Thank you, Elaine.

Elaine, I just love
my eyes. Numerous comments on how folks cannot
believe they are enhanced. I brought my mom over
for eyebrows, which are just PERFECT for her face, age,
and color. I have others lined up to come over for
the same enhancements, based on the wonderful outcomes!
Thanks for all you do!!

I had the pleasure of
meeting Elaine several years ago. I was teaching
overseas and was in Tucson visiting my family. Elaine
had done my mother's eyebrows and they were absolutely
beautiful so I decided to get my eyes, eyebrows, and
lips done. Elaine is fabulous! She guided me with
picking colors that would best compliment my coloring
and I was more than 100% satisfied with the end results.
I just went back and had a complete touch up on lips,
eyes, and brows. This procedure took about three hours.
At first I was a bit anxious, however, Elaine is so
gentle, and after a few minutes I was totally relaxed.
What Elaine does is so personal for us women, and I feel
so blessed to have found her. I was swimming with my
three year old grandson, and I was holding him in my
arms while he floated on his back, he was so relaxed as
he knew grandma had him. I than thought of Elaine, and
how I felt when she was doing my make-up. I felt so
safe, and confident. The environment she creates is so
safe. I just want to say Thank you Elaine, you truly are
one in a million.

The year was 2000. I
noticed that a bald spot was beginning to form on the
back of my head. Within a couple of weeks, more hair was
falling out, until a short time later I had lost all of
it. The diagnosis was alopecia, a disease of the immune
system that causes some or all of your hair to fall out
all over your body. That was eight years ago.
This upset my world in a major way. You don’t realize
how much your hair defines you until it’s no longer
there. I experimented with a variety of wigs until I
found a style and color that suited me well. It was with
the help of my girlfriends that we discovered the best
type, and several trips to Phoenix to get it right.
One day the four of us were celebrating something –
maybe it was just enjoying our retirement and each
other; who knows as we are always celebrating. We took a
picture and I noticed how different I looked without
eyebrows. It was a real eye opener. I concluded that my
next task was to get some eyebrows. I tried drawing them
on – my husband’s response to that was “what have you
done to yourself?”. That was no good. I then tried some
fake ones but after 20 minutes one of them fell off.
They looked better in the box than on me! I was
encouraged by both husband and girlfriends to come up
with something better. Somewhere along the way I heard
about tattooing of eyebrows.
I mentioned to my girlfriends that I was considering
this and in their usual manner, before I could change my
mind, they had identified a resource and I scheduled an
appointment. Together we descended upon Elaine Pichet’s
Artistic Touch, Inc. She graciously allowed all four of
us to participate in this experience – me in the chair
and the rest peering in as Elaine worked. Her kind,
gentle manner, and her artistic talent made this a very
pleasant experience for me. Her brushstroke technique
with the needle gave me beautiful eyebrows. Later I
opted to have the eyeliner on both upper and lower lids.
We had another
picture taken and this time I looked great, according to
my girlfriends. Special thanks to Elaine for making this
happen and for helping my friends and I turn this into a
special event!

I love my eyebrows
and eyeliner.

I just want to say,
that my experience from the time I walked into your
office to the time I left, has been the most
exhilarating experience. You as a professional not only
show a great deal of enthusiasm and preciseness in your
work, but you also show a genuine concern for your
patients as well. This I commend you highly for. Seldom
do we find in our professional business world today
people like yourself. And last but not least, let me
thank you for the great job you did with my procedure.
You are a True Artist. Thank you so much.

I have been going to
Elaine for 5 1/2 years. I was scared to death at first
but I had 3 good friends who had gone to Elaine for
permanent make-up and they looked fabulous and so
natural. Being the type that wears make-up to get the
mail I thought this would be a dream come true. Elaine’s
warm and caring personality set me at ease immediately.
I started with my eye liners (top and bottom) then the
lips and finally the eyebrows. Elaine takes the pain out
of it because she is so gentle and explains every
procedure she is doing.
I love to go back for touch-ups because Elaine always
fusses and makes me feel so good. And she always has
wonderful new skin enhancers—her office is warm and
inviting with all her artwork—she is a true artist and I
love to refer her because she knows how to treat each
patient individually.

I walked in her
office, she greeted me with a warm caring smile. AT that
moment I knew she (Elaine) cared. Elaine carefully took
the time to "LOOK" at me and saw what had long been
missing for some years now, COLOR and she could restore
it! Her talent is remarkable. Her creative ability to
perform the "art" work is just revitalizing. A simple
procedure that took no time. The result: Beautiful!
Elaine then took me step by step in what she was doing
and the whys. Not only did she make me very comfortable
with doing my permanent make up on my brows and eye
liner, she was very informative as well. Soft natural
color to restore my look. Now I wake up in the morning
and look and the mirror and love what I see. I do not
have to bother with make up on my eyes everyday. Her
work reflects her beautiful natural talent. Simplicity
equals beauty and color. Thank you Elaine for adding
color back into my life.

I had my eyeliner and
eyebrows tattooed at age 77. I look really good when I
get up in the morning; just need some lipstick. The only
maintenance needed now is a regular brow and lash tints.
Elaine was extremely aware of my state of mind during
the procedure. The soft music in the background really
relaxed me. I would not hesitate to recommend Elaine for
those procedures. Thank you.

Elaine performed my
eyeliner permanent make-up and it is great! I love it
and I get many compliments. She is very professional and
it didn't hurt at all. I would recommend it without
hesitation.

I was treated elsewhere and the
results were not what I hoped for. The initial procedure
was painful and my eyebrows were too dark and were not
shaped correctly for my face. Elaine knew right away how
to make my face look softer and more natural. The change
is subtle but enough for people to notice and comment on
my improved appearance. Thank you, Elaine!
- Best Regards,
Lise
Thanks to Elaine's
talent, I feel like a priceless work of art. I feel
polished and professional first thing in the morning,
and after a long days work. I have received countless
compliments on how beautiful my brows look, and
questions about why I look so much younger. The best
compliment came from my husband who loves the results.
Thank you for sharing your talent Elaine.

I went to Elaine at the recommendation of a friend of
mine after years of suffering with no eyebrows. In
my younger years (teens and twenties), I tweezed my very
thick eyebrows into very thin narrow lines, which was
the style at the time, and they never grew back.
As I have grown older (forties), what little remaining
eyebrow hair I had has begun to fall out (thinning
eyebrows appear to be a genetic defect in the female
side of my family!). My vision is very poor and I
must leave my glasses on in order to draw my eyebrows on
with a pencil, which makes this extremely difficult to
do and pencil washes off every time I get my face wet.
Therefore, I had gotten into the habit only "putting on"
eyebrows very rarely for special occasions. For
the last five to ten years I have felt much older than
my age (which is currently 50) because of my lack of
brows. I visited Elaine on my friend's
recommendation for a consultation, but was extremely
leery about the procedure as I am a perfectionist and
was afraid that my idea of what I wanted and her idea of
what I needed would not be the same and I would be stuck
with something I was very unhappy with for the rest of
my life. Although still scared, I built up the
courage to let her do my brows and I have to say that I
am thrilled to death with the results. I have
gotten so many complements on how young I look.
People want to know if I got a face lift, a new hair
style, hit the lottery, etc., but nobody even realizes
that my eyebrows are tattooed on because they are so
real looking ad the color matches my hair perfectly.
Elaine took my facial features into consideration when
she applied the brows and they look even more natural
than my real brows did. Elaine includes a
follow-up visit in her price, but she did such a good
job the first time that there was virtually nothing to
touch-up on the return visit. I highly recommend
Elaine for any of your permanent cosmetic work. My
eyebrows were a birthday gift from my husband, who was
tired of hearing me complain about how old and ugly I
looked. Now he's saving up for next year so I can
get my eye-liner done.
Elaine, I can never
thank you enough.
- Betsy A. Hazel,
Ph.D., MT(ASCP)
I am writing this
note to express my gratitude for the interest you have
shown me. Your expertise and professionalism
toward correcting a botched up job on my eyebrows has
been the greatest thing that I had hoped for. I
feel very fortunate that I, through another friend of
mine, found you.
I, like so many
others, went to a woman in Hereford, AZ, who did the
work in her home. She obviously wasn't qualified
and certainly wasn't under the best sterile conditions
either. I called the Health Department and the
Cosmetology Board - there is no one out there to
regulate that type of activity. Needless to say, I
was just lucky to have been directed to Artistic Touch.
Thank you so much Elaine.
I am so pleased with what you have done for me and what
you will do in the future. Sincerely,
- Edie Costa
I have been so
pleased with the outcome of my eyeliner. I had never
really liked the way eyeliner looked on me and was very
nervous about how it would turn out to have something so
permanent. I had seen others who had had their liner
done at tattoo shops and it really was just a line drawn
around the eyes. But although nervous, I had developed a
trust in Elaine and her talent. She took a moment to
look at the shape of my eyes and told me that if she
followed the line of my lashes all the way from corner
to corner my eyes would look droopy at the outside
corner. THAT was it! That was why my eyeliner always
looked a little off to me!! To look straight on at me
you can't tell it but my eyes slightly slope downward.
Elaine stopped about 1/8 of an inch from the outside
corner and I couldn't be more pleased with how it looks.
My eyes look alert and open and look even more rich in
color than before. I have had so many
compliments....even without a bit of "make-up". My
mother liked the look so much she got her eyes done for
her 60th birthday.

Elaine's incredible
artistic ability is an added bonus for your permanent
make up procedure. She makes it look so natural, people
think you were just born with perfect eyes and lips! The
products she uses are of such premium quality, I didn't
need a touch up for 3 years.
This was the best value for the money spent and the
wisest choice I've made for enhancing my self-esteem.
Tucson is so fortunate to have someone of her talent
doing permanent make-up locally.
- Debra Armijo
I am thrilled with
the results of my new eyebrows and eyeliner. No matter
how many products I purchased in the past, I always
managed to look unfinished, uneven, and washed out. As I
aged, the problem got worse.
With Elaine's artistry, I now look younger and more
attractive. My eyes, always one of my good features,
have finally come into their own! Elaine combines
an artist's eye with superb technical skills.

I wanted to take the
opportunity to thank you for the success of the results
of your very talented hands, your expert advice on laser
treatments for my face, and a greatly improved
complexion. I have been told that my eyebrows are
"elegant", something I've wished for for many years. As
a result of the laser treatments and Intradermal
Treatments, my complexion is literally glowing.
Your encouragement to pursue a course that would make me
feel better about myself was the motivation I needed.

Dear Dr. Duerksen:
I would like to thank you for your referral to Elaine
Pichet's Artistic Touch, Inc. Elaine did camouflage work
on my facial scar (right cheek).
Dr Duerksen, when I came into your office to have two
more small moles removed on my left cheek you noticed
how my old facial scar turned very white in color.
Elaine was able to cover the white scarring with a
PERFECT SKIN TONE MATCH! After seeing Elaine's talent I
decided to have permanent makeup on my eyebrows. What a
dramatic difference it has made in my appearance, yet it
looks SO NATURAL.
Elaine is a wonderful lady with a warm personality. I
know she loves what she does because it shows in her
professional work, and her caring personality.
Thank you for referring me to Elaine.

Elaine Pichet is able
to visualize placement and color of permanent makeup for
each individual to enhance their natural beauty. She is
a true artist! Elaine was able to create a slight arch,
subtle thickness and symmetry in my eyebrows giving me a
youthful look. She also restored the color and fullness
of my lips making them vibrant and sexy. The eyeliner
she tattooed took the slight cross-eyed look away from
my eyes. I love my new look! All my friends have
commented on how great I look. The permanent makeup is
so natural that not one of them knew I had it applied. I
highly recommend Elaine to anyone who wishes to look and
feel better about themselves.

I have seen Elaine
several times over the past four years for various
permanent makeup procedures, and each time I have been
very pleased with the results! In addition to being
passionate and a perfectionist about the work she does,
Elaine is a truly caring person, and I am very happy to
know her. Without reservation, I strongly recommend her
permanent makeup artistry to anyone who is interested in
these procedures.

Thirteen years ago I had laser done on my bottom lip due
to actinic keratosis. My lip tightened with scar tissue
making it difficult to brush my teeth or open my mouth
wide enough at the dentist. I also lost the bottom line
around my lower lip. My dermatologist told me about
Elaine Pichet's work. She tattooed my lip, breaking up
the scar tissue and lining them. My lips look beautiful,
are perfectly outlined and don't feel tight for the
first time in years.

The Arizona Cancer Center thanks Elaine Pichet for
volunteering her professional services free of charge to
some of our chemotherapy patients.
Elaine has provided permanent eyebrow and eyeliner
makeup to chemotherapy patients who have lost much of
their facial hair. This is a valuable service for them -
one which would not be possible were it not for Elaine's
generous heart. Elaine's special, caring manner has
helped patients feel better about themselves and they
are grateful for her kind efforts.
We are pleased to take this opportunity to thank Elaine
for many years of service to our patients and can
recommend her permanent makeup services to anyone in the
community needing or wanting to enhance their
appearance.
Sincerely,
Ardie Delforge, RN, BSN, OCN
