Anna Johnson
Owner, Educator, and Artist
Welcome! I am Anna the owner and educator at Pinpoint Permanent Cosmetics. I’ve been helping women change the way they look a feel as a permanent makeup artist for over 6 years now. I love that something as simple as a nicely shaped brow or eyeliner can make all the difference in lifting ones mood and boosting self-esteem.
After 8+ years in the beauty industry as an esthetician. I did the unthinkable… I flipped a house with my parents, not recommended unless you have 6 months of time to kill! However, I used the money to pay for an advanced permanent makeup education with a European Permanent Makeup Company (Europe is much more advanced in their PMU techniques) and of course to start a business focusing solely on permanent makeup. My goal is that when you walk into the salon you instantly know you’re in the right place. I wanted Iowans to have access to amazing permanent makeup where quality is a priority.
When I am not at the salon. You can find me at home with my husband, son, and labradoodle Milo. I have no problem having three books going at once. Typically, a health book, a business book, and a self-development book. My husband will tell you that I have the most productive ‘days off’ thanks to my love of making lists. Even better if it’s content I can organize into an excel spreadsheet!
I offer the kind of permanent makeup I would want on my face. I tend to like permanent makeup that enhances your beauty. Anything very dramatic or trendy should probably be left to topical makeup. With my clients I not only take into consideration how it will heal but how it will look in 5-10 years from now.
