History:

Founded in 2014 in honor of Amanda’s beloved grandmothers who underwent cancer treatments, Gem City Permanent Cosmetics embodies a personal touch and dedication to excellence. Amanda has been trained by some of the best professionals in the industry and continues to update her skills regularly to bring the latest techniques to Erie.

Location:

Gem City Permanent Cosmetics is located in the lower level of the Spa Lapis building and is regulated and inspected by the Erie County Health Department as a tattooing establishment.

Services:

Each service includes a numbing agent and an aftercare packet with instructions. A consultation is necessary to choose the appropriate technique and to discuss any possible contraindications such as medical conditions or medications that may affect the healed results. The first step to any permanent cosmetic service involves assessing health, medical history, and skin type to determine the best technique. Topics like shape, color, style, aftercare, and upkeep are thoroughly discussed.

Booking:

A non-refundable booking fee of $100 is required to reserve your appointment, including touchups, which will go towards the final cost of the service unless canceled or rescheduled without 48 hours' notice.
