Wake Up With
Make Up - All About Liza
Liza’s experience in makeup artistry, eyebrow design, therapeutic skin care and permanent makeup began in 1987. You can feel confident and secure to have chosen a leading specialist in the field of Permanent Cosmetics and Para-Medical Skincare to perform your treatments.
Wake Up with Makeup, LLC is located in the Lake Otis Medical Plaza in Anchorage, AK.
LiZa travels every few months to network with other long time professionals, teach advanced classes and attend medical seminars. She moved her training facility to Reno NV in 2005 where she conducts continuing education classes in permanent cosmetics several times each year with Pat Connell, her partner in “Posh and Polished Permanent Cosmetic Educators”
At age 28, self employed with her own Civil Engineering Materials Laboratory, LiZa Sims first heard of permanent makeup. With limited time in her busy schedule, she was excited to think she could have her makeup permanently applied.
A doctor performed the procedure and the results were shocking. Her eyelids were squeezed in a metal clamp; she was put under anesthesia and bled profusely. After the procedure, her eyes bruised badly and were very painful. Even with the discomfort, she was eager to see the result and believed it would be worth the pain. As the swelling and discoloration subsided, LiZa was dismayed to see the quality of the work was very poor. The eyeliner turned blue within months, the lower line was very severe and uneven, causing her eyes to look droopy.
With Liza’s makeup ability, she remembers thinking at that time that she could do a better job in applying the permanent cosmetics than the doctor was able to do!
Her first training in the application of permanent cosmetics was in 1987. The permanent cosmetic industry has grown much larger since that time and Liza has been and remains very involved and active in the industry since. As an ‘old hand’ she is able to help the industry and its individuals with the knowledge and experience she has gleaned over the years.
As a para-medical aesthetician, LiZa is passionate about helping her clients make educated decisions regarding their aesthetic needs. This is one reason her clinic is located in a Medical Plaza. Some services that LiZa offers, including permanent cosmetics are also offered in salons and spas.
It is her concern that consumers are sometimes unaware of poor health and sanitation practices that can result in problems when these treatments are performed in salon settings. Because of her high regard for safety and sanitation (her nickname among colleagues is “Steri-LiZa”) and her experience in observing the practices of many, she knows that breaches of safety may be undetectable to the client. For example, in many salons and spas offering personal services, it is common for consumers to receive treatments on tables or chairs that were not properly disinfected after the previous client sat in them. Eyeglasses worn by technicians and adjusted with contaminated gloves during a procedure may be re-worn without proper disinfection. Street clothing worn without proper cross contamination isolation gowns may have contaminated fluids from a previous client. Pigment bottle tips may have touched contaminated pigment holder cups during procedures on previous clients.
Even though it may be unintentional, these unhealthy practices and other mistakes can spread bacteria and viruses from one client to another.
When skin is broken during a permanent makeup procedure and when working close to the eyes while applying eyelash extensions, a setting such as LiZa’s clinic offers an extra measure of safety. LiZa attends an 8 hour OSHA class followed by exam each year. Her state requires a 45 minutes Red Cross class every two years but LiZa goes above and beyond that by traveling yearly to attend an intense OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Safety class formatted expressly for the body modification industries by Mr. David Vidra of Health Educators Inc. web: http://www.hlthedu.com/
You can rest assured that your safety is of the highest importance to Liza.
