Meet Minneapolis, Minnesota’s premiere makeup and cosmetic tattoo artist, JULIE Phaxay
Permanent Makeup That
Doesn’t LOOK PERMANENT
From Celebrity Makeup Artist to Your Brow Artist
Hi, I’m Julie Phaxay, a permanent makeup artist in Minnetonka, just outside Minneapolis. For over 16 years, I’ve worked everywhere from Vogue editorials to Target’s national campaigns to Saturday Night Live, helping people look their best when the stakes were sky high. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of working with stars like Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Michelle Williams, Nicole Scherzinger, Yara Shahidi, Prince, and 3RDEYEGIRL.
That background shaped my artistry today. My formal training in design gave me a sharp eye for symmetry, balance, and detail, the same skills I now bring to cosmetic tattooing. Whether it’s creating brows that flatter bone structure or selecting pigments that heal naturally on the skin, my philosophy is simple: enhance your natural beauty, never overpower it.
After seeing how microblading and nano brows could transform not only a face but also confidence, I pursued advanced training with the prestigious PhiBrows Academy. That commitment to excellence laid the foundation for what I offer today at Haven Beauty Collective in Minnetonka.
Now, I specialize in Nano Brows, Microblading, Powder Brows, and Brow Tattooing, helping women across the Twin Cities wake up every day with brows that feel effortless, natural, and uniquely theirs. My clients trust me not only for my meticulous technique but also for my ability to create results that look incredible in real life, not just in photos!
Maybe you want to save time in the morning. Maybe you just want to stop thinking about your brows. Either way, I’d love to help.
