“My eyebrows that I had done by Melissa are the best they have ever been. The shape is just perfect. Melissa is a perfectionist and a lovely person to boot. I would 110 per cent recommend Coast to Coast for permanent make-up if you are considering having it done. Thank you so much.” -Julie
and always in competition with myself. I practice always and observe others that are well known in the industry to create my own style and technique.” She’s proud to be certified in microblading, nanobrows, lip blush, tattoo removal, ombre powder brows and eyeliner, and says the services go way beyond vanity—it’s about confidence from the inside out. “Whatever the reason, being confident will always directly affect how you feel on the inside,” says Evans, who explains cosmetic tattooing goes way beyond vanity and that a big part of her job means ensuring clients are doing it for the right reasons. “There always needs to be a balance with everything in life, so you need to make sure if you are taking the step into the cosmetic tattooing world, that you’re doing it for the right reasons. For yourself and only you.” What makes her so successful, beyond her evident skill? It obviously comes down to emotion; empathy in particular. “I am an extremely empathetic person. When someone cries happy tears on my table after their service, I cry with them. I feel so much genuine happiness for all of my clients. I am so excited by the time we are done to show them their finished results. It’s truly an amazing experience.”
She says for as long as she can remember, she’s had a great eye for symmetry, colours and shapes, and that every client that walks through her door is a way for her to express her art as well as change their life. “I feel having an artistic history definitely gave me a foot up in this industry. I can look at someone and just know right away what we need to do. When you are passionate about something, everything flows that much better” She’s now eight times certified, making her one of the top specialists in all of PEI. “I am definitely someone who likes to continue my education,” she says. “I strongly feel to be the best and to call yourself a specialist, you need to be taking courses and learning new techniques. Learning from the best in the industry is only going to make you better. I am a very motivated individual
