Angeliese Adams’ journey into the world of permanent cosmetics is a tale of passion, innovation, and resilience. As a single mother who relocated to Mt. Juliet, TN, for a better life for her son, Angeliese has not only built a business but also brought a unique beauty solution to the area. Angeliese Permanent Cosmetics stands out as the only provider in Tennessee of the revolutionary Fleek AI app, allowing clients to design their brows using cutting-edge artificial intelligence.

Angeliese’s background in fashion and beauty, including modeling, acting, and cosmetology, laid the groundwork for her venture into permanent cosmetics. Her own experience with microblading, a form of permanent makeup, sparked her interest in the field. However, the challenge of finding an artist willing to work over previously microbladed brows led her to seek training and ultimately open her business.

Angeliese’s commitment to accommodating clients who had previous microblading, often shunned by other artists, is reflective of her client-centered approach. She apprenticed for a year under Sandy McClanahan of Blue Tattoo Apprenticeships in Franklin, TN, before opening her business in Mt. Juliet in September 2022.

The introduction of Fleek AI at Angeliese Permanent Cosmetics is a game-changer. This AI-based tool transforms the consultation process, allowing clients to virtually try on different brow styles and colors, tailored to their face shape and skin conditions. This level of customization not only removes fear and guesswork for clients but also empowers them in their beauty decisions.

Angeliese Adams’ work at Angeliese Permanent Cosmetics extends beyond aesthetic beauty, touching the lives of cancer survivors with profound empathy and skill. In her own words, Angeliese expresses, “This is such a ministry to me because I’m constantly working on my passion, which is working on cancer survivors.” She speaks about helping them “regain their confidence” after the arduous journey of cancer treatment. Further emphasizing her dedication, she adds, “In October, I went and got certified to do the 3D areola tattooing,” showcasing her commitment to providing comprehensive cosmetic solutions for survivors. This dedication is not just a service, but a heartfelt mission to support individuals in reclaiming their identity and self-assurance.

Angeliese’s comprehensive range of services, including microblading, nanoblading, scalp micropigmentation, and more, showcase her expertise. With over 30 certifications, she offers a multitude of options, from traditional microblading to advanced techniques like combination brows.

The journey hasn’t been without challenges. Angeliese faced a significant setback when her business’s Facebook account was hacked, leading to a temporary social media blackout. This incident tested her resilience but didn’t deter her spirit. With the support of her family, friends, and especially her office manager, Sarah, Angeliese overcame this hurdle, a testament to her determination and the strong community bonds in Mt. Juliet.

Angeliese’s future plans include becoming a master artist, offering apprenticeships, and possibly introducing magnetic tattoo removal to Nashville. Her focus on innovation and quality service, coupled with her dedication to community and client satisfaction, makes Angeliese Permanent Cosmetics a beacon of entrepreneurial success and beauty innovation in Tennessee.
