Beauty is Skin Deep

Hello, my name is Joyce Bamburg. 

 I was born and raised in Southern California until I was 25 and then moved here to Oregon.   It certainly has been a wonderful life living here in the Northwest.

I have been in the beauty industry for  over 40 yrs.   I attended Beauty College in California and still hold a current license there as well as here in Oregon.

 I have two wonderful sons both whom are grown & married.  I have four beautiful grandchildren.

Being involved in the beauty industry I have studied every facet of the business.  In 1989, I had the opportunity to take a basic class in Permanent make up.   I must say it was the best decision I ever made.  In 1990, I opened “Beauty Is Skin Deep” I was fortunate enough to work for a very busy Ophthalmologist in Gresham.   With having a back ground in teaching beauty college and knowing facial structure I seemed to have found my niche in life as far as my career was concerned.  I was involved at the ground level with being on many committees when Oregon went under regulation in 1993.  With owning one of Oregon’s largest permanent cosmetic schools, it was a time consuming profession.  We as trainers for the state are required to attend continued education classes.  It is a never ending effort in our practice.

As a state trainer, I have traveled to many US states and taught advanced classes in Camouflage makeup, Color correction and I specialize in Permanent make up repair.  Unfortunately most states are not regulated and technicians from surrounding states can take a two day class and perform these procedures.  I feel so fortunate holding a License in Oregon as we have the highest standards in tattooing history.  It takes 6 to 8 months to complete our class here in Oregon.  “Permanent color Technicians” have to pass a state board exam and still take continued education classes to keep licenses current.

Blessing Always,

Joyce
