Permanent Line

I got my eyebrows done by Astrid Harper yesterday. I went originally just to have a consultation as I was a bit nervous about permanent makeup. My mom came with me for moral support. My mom and I started speaking to Astrid and immediately felt relieved and relaxed. Somehow it went from a discussion to both my mom and I getting our eyebrows done! Astrid draws with paint the shape of the eyebrows exactly to what you want so there are no surprises. Besides the quick anesthetic shot to numb the brows, the process was painless and I got up 20 minutes later with perfect brows! I would recommend her to everyone and I’m so appreciative of her art and giving us both brows that we are proud of!

I highly recommend this business!
Astrid Harper is an artist and also a very warm person. She has many years of experience and is a perfectionist in her work — which she clearly enjoys. She did my eyeliner, brows and full lips all within the past 18 months. She has a light touch and was generous with the topical anesthetic so it was practically painless. She assured me that she was happy to have me come back for touch ups until I was 100% satisfied. I did, and I am!!! (I had a bit of stubborn scarring that required a little extra color). It was well worth the 75 minute drive from my home near DC.
The recovery from all these services was very easy! I had been to someone else about 10 years ago and I had trouble with prolonged scabbing and so much discomfort that I wouldn’t go back. Now that I have been to Astrid — I really know the difference!
I am delighted with how everything turned out! The feathering in my eyebrows looks very natural. My lips look full and natural too. I promise that you won’t be disappointed!

I went to Astrid couple years ago and did my eyebrows it was good so I also did an eyeliner. After its start to fade away I went to her for a touch up and this time she completely mess it up. My color was too dark way off from my hair color and when she did a touch up for the eyeliner she put the dot on my eyelid with a permanent make. It’s just unbelievable. So when I came back and ask her to fix it she said that nothing she can do about it besides just make it thicker which is last thing I wanted to do after this disaster. And also she suggested me to look it myself less at the mirror which is I think very insulting thing to say! Anyway I call after a few days and ask for my refund at least what I paid for touch up and I never even got any response. Left the voicemail-​nothing she is like disappear from this planet. Anyway long story shot. Bad job. Bad costumer follow up service. Don’t go there because if u don’t like your result u r on your on! Because she doesn’t care about her clients she only wants your money!

Astrid has been giving me permanent makeup (eyebrows, upper and lower lids and full lips) for over 20 years (every 4 – 5 years I get it refreshed). I make the drive from Richmond, VA to her office wherever it is. She is gentle, reassuring and highly skilled. Her office is beautiful, clean and office manager, Georgette is delightful. I have referred people to Astrid and they have also been pleased. My makeup looks so natural that you can hit me with a bucket of water on the way out of the barn and I’m good to go!

I recently had my eyes lined by Astrid and I could not be happier. I was nervous when I went and was not sure what to expect. Astrid was reassuring, gentle, and took the time to ensure that my eyes were lined perfectly. They look so natural that my friends didn’t believe me when I told them my eyeliner is permanent. I highly recommend Astrid and Permanent-​Line and would not trust anyone else to work on such important and sensitive areas.

I’m warning everyone and anyone do not go to this woman she is a hack. She ruined my face and it will never be fixed. I was bit by a dog and had a scar on my lips that I wanted her to cover up instead she took it upon herself to draw me a new set of lips and the right side of my lip is way higher than the other it looks completely unnatural and is bright red. I wish I had done my research hopefully you can save yourself do not go to this woman. I am 21 years old and my face is ruined for the rest of my life. If you have any sense at all you will not go to Astrid Schneider.

Astrid S. Harper of Permanent-​Line does amazing work — tapered eyeliner, feathered hair-​stroke eyebrows and natural-​looking lip liner and color! I am grateful to do my advanced training under her skilled hand and benefit from her years of experience and over 30,000 procedures! I have seen numerous happy clients go out her door!

If I drive all the way to Middleburg from DC for Astrid’s artistry, she must be good!
Her office is lovely and clean and she is delightful, in addition to being great at what she does. I’ve used her twice in 7 years to enhance my scarce eyebrows, apply permanent upper and lower eyeliner and lip liner. I hate needles but the eyebrows and eyeliner felt more ticklish than anything else. The lips hurt but The discomfort was not from her technique at all, it seems there are more nerves in lips.
My first permanent eyeliner and brows were done in 2008 and lasted until my most recent visit in 2014. My only complaint is the drive because I hate driving. Ingrid is worth the commute and my eye make up won’t smear this summer.

I am so pleased with my permanent eyeliner and would recommend Astrid and Permanent Line to anyone considering permanent makeup. To begin with, Astrid is truly delightful – a big, warm personality who immediately puts you at ease and feels like a friend within moments of meeting her. She is great about explaining various options and really helps you figure out what you want and what makeup option will be best for you. She has been doing this for years and has had thousands of clients, so not surprisingly, her technique is outstanding and the end result is terrific. I know I’m gushing but I truly love my new permanent eyeliner and will definitely recommend her to anyone considering having this work done. Thanks, Astrid!

I am both a client and fellow industry business owner. I had my brows done by Astrid and they are impeccable! Never ONCE has anyone ever asked about my brows because they look so natural. Since then I have referred more people than I can count on my hands to Astrid and all have been equally pleased.
There is a reason she travels the world doing her work. She is simply the best:)

After having friends poke fun of my non-​existent eyebrows (I’m a blonde so they aren’t very visible), I did months of research online on permanent makeup. I sought the advice of friends and colleagues and they all pointed to one person – Astrid at
. It seems everyone I’ve come across who has had permanent makeup has been to Astrid and they all rave about her. Now I am one of her biggest fans! I had my eyebrows done about 7 weeks ago and was so impressed that I went back for more. Today I had permanent eyeliner performed and am in love with the results. Even more, I am complimented all the time on my eyes, though no one can tell what I’ve had done until I point it out… and even then, they can’t believe how natural it looks (specifically my brows). The process is quick, simple, and bearable as Astrid takes her time to make sure you are comfortable and pain-​free. The best part of the entire process is the time I am saving getting ready each morning! I recommend Astrid wholeheartedly and am happy to share my own before and after photos to anyone who is interested in having the same thing done!

I’ve used Astrid 2 times over the past 15 years for eye line tinting and she did a wonderful job. Both times it lasted much longer than expected and I event took my mother to have hers done also. Besides a great time-​saver, the process is practical for anyone who spends lots of time at the beach or in the water.

Astrid did my eyeliner (top and bottom), lip liner and lip color, and my eyebrows. I first had the eyeliner done very lightly, in a soft, navy blue color, in the 1990’s. In 2009 I had her touch up eyeliner again and she applied it a bit thicker. I trust her expertise and talent and she is the only person I would to do my permanent makeup. I swim quite a bit and am still working, so I love fact that I always look my best and even better, I save so much time applying makeup. She feathered in lightly on my eyebrows and I as I am getting older, I think I may have her do a bit more in this area. I had my lips done twice but they don’t hold the pigment well, just my chemistry so I won’t do them again. Astrid is an amazing artist when it comes to Permanent Makeup and I highly recommend her as a leader and number 1 talent in the field of permanent makeup.

I’ve been a licensed esthetician and massage therapist for nearly 20 years. Astrid lined my eyes beautifully, accurately and professionally, she chose the color because she has the experience to know what would look best; my only wish is that I’d had it done 20 years ago. I think it makes me look younger and I absolutely LOVE it. It saves so much time in the morning when I don’t need to put eye liner on any more, my eyes look bigger! I’m taking my sister to get her eyes lined too. Astrid is a wonderfully talented professional and I have no hesitation in recommending her to my clients from first hand experience.

Astrid Schneider no longer has the office in Potomac, but has one in Chevy Chase. I’ve had permanent makeup before. Astrid overcharged and did a poor job. The «eyebrows» she creates are thicker than any real hair and her technique is not natural looking either. I have what amounts to permanent scarring and hope I can find someone to fix it. Beware. Be Careful. Appearances can be deceiving.
