A Skin-First Guide to Pigment DNA & Predictable Healed-In Results

    “Thanks to Rose, I'm able to properly assess the skin and make educated decisions for each and every client that comes through my door! ...My biggest take-aways were learning how to read the pigment bottle! I didn't know much about CI numbers, but Rose explains and breaks down everything I needed to know about them and how to choose the right pigment for each client.”
