Evolution Esthetics

Evolution Esthetics is located in a suite at 8803 Futures Drive in Orlando. The business describes itself as offering a salon experience unlike others in central Florida, and it states that it has ten years of beauty expertise with a combined eight years in permanent makeup.

The brow menu covers microblading with soft shading, Natural Bladed Brows, ombre powder brows, hybrid brows that combine microblading with powder shading, brow lamination and a temporary brow tint. Permanent brow services are a two-appointment process, with the first visit often using a lighter color, and microblading, ombre powder and combo brows take about three to four hours. Topical numbing is used before, during and after, and each client receives an aftercare kit with healing instructions. Brows take about three weeks to heal, and a touch-up at four to eight weeks is offered to address imperfections.

Each brow is planned using a signature mapping process based on the client's face and brow bone, checked with a measurement tool. Color is usually matched to the client's natural brow hair and adjusted for complexion or hair color, with color collections available for blonde clients. Free consultations are offered in person or virtually, and a digital simulation app can be used to preview a look.

Keratin Lash Lift adds a semi-permanent curl to natural lashes without extensions, lasting up to six to eight weeks. Radiant Lip Blush reshapes lip lines and adds a natural color of the client's choice, and lips may look slightly swollen and darker at first before softening. Diamond Teeth Whitening uses LED light and dental-grade bleaching gel in one-hour sessions, but it works only on natural enamel, not veneers, porcelain or synthetic teeth. Several sessions may be needed, and clients booking more than one should space them at least two to three months apart. Threading, waxing and shaping address unwanted facial hair on the brows, face, upper lip and cheeks.

Permanent makeup training includes a 7-day Blading and Shading course, a 4-day Microshading (Ombre Powder) course and a 4-day Microblading course, with groups of two to six students and training days of about eight hours. Training includes two live models for hands-on work and a live demonstration by Samantha, along with a course manual, practice mannequin head, a notebook and a pen. Topics include licensing guidance, client management, sanitization, color theory, brow mapping, and photo editing and social media marketing. Students must complete two supervised models to be certified. A Florida tattoo artist license is required for the permanent makeup courses and for performing these services at the salon, but not for the brow lamination or lash lifting classes. Payment plans are available, private one-on-one training can be arranged on request, and the business offers ongoing mentorship but not job placement.

The business aims for an experience that is fun, safe and professional for both clients and students, and says it aims for top-quality results.
