I am Mai Dao Vang, a licensed Permanent Makeup Artist based in Oakdale, Minnesota. Fashion and beauty have always been my passions—those girly things. Growing up, I was always experimenting with makeup, which naturally led me to become a makeup artist. There's a profound sense of fulfillment in enhancing someone's beauty, and that's the reason I've chosen a career in permanent cosmetics. It's truly rewarding!
My journey began in the fall of 2019, when I decided to get my eyebrows tattooed. It was a revelation; I wondered why I hadn't embarked on this path sooner. I had always aspired to be a licensed makeup artist or a business owner in the beauty industry, yet I feared the harsh criticism I might encounter. The thought of failing after giving my all was daunting. But let me tell you, I was so wrong! When you're passionate about something truly meant for you, the opinions of others don't matter. So, I mustered all the courage I didn't know I possessed, left my full-time job, and started doing brows full-time. And guess what? It was incredibly rewarding! From that point forward, life seemed filled with nothing but unicorns and rainbows!
My artistic journey has led me to explore the world of Fine Line Tattoos, which I dove into by taking a course at the start of 2021. By late 2021, I was creating intricate tiny tattoos, and what an adventure that has been! Each design is unique and brings its own excitement. In my quest for improvement, I traveled to Arizona in mid-2023 to attend an advanced course focused on Fine Line Tattoos. My enthusiasm also sparked an interest in the realm of permanent makeup, where I expanded my skills to include eyeliner services in 2024. I thrive on challenges and embrace every opportunity to grow!
I owe my journey to all of you, and I can’t express how grateful I am for my amazing supporters! Your encouragement means the world to me, and I truly love each and every one of you! My mission is to help as many people as possible feel confident and beautiful, both inside and out. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, and I can't wait to see you at your next session!
