Nara Aesthetics

Nara Aesthetics was founded by Nara Kassymzhanova and offers permanent makeup, paramedical tattooing and advanced skin treatments from a studio in Houston. Every appointment starts with a consultation, and the treatment is tailored to the client after that conversation. The consultation with Nara is 30 minutes and costs $50.

Brow work is matched to each client's skin type. Nano brows or powder brows are recommended at the consultation, and the studio does not offer microblading, since it says handheld blade strokes can blur and fade unevenly on oily or sensitive skin. Services include powder eyebrows, nano combo brows, hyper-realistic brows, brow architecture with lamination and tinting, signature, classic and soft eyeliner, lip blushing, and melanin-rich lip neutralization. A touch-up is available four to eight weeks after the first service, and an annual touch-up is offered as well.

The restorative menu covers inkless scar and stretch mark revision, which includes complimentary red light therapy, along with MD System Procell microchanneling sessions with red light and a post care kit. Other options include scalp micropigmentation, 3-D areola restoration tattoos, camouflage tattoos, faux freckles, beauty mark tattoos, lightening of old permanent makeup or tattoos, and body tattoos priced by size and design. Red light therapy can also be booked on its own.

The studio says it follows high safety and hygiene standards and uses top-quality pigments and equipment. Clients can book online, and a phone line is staffed around the clock for questions, appointment help and aftercare guidance.

Each appointment is built around the client's needs after a thorough consultation, and the studio chooses brow technique based on skin type.
