Meet Minneapolis, Minnesota’s premiere makeup and cosmetic tattoo artist, JULIE Phaxay

Unleashing the Power of PERMANENT BEAUTY: Where Artistry Meets PRECISION

Your New Beauty BFF — From Celebrity Makeup to Brow Transformation Expert

Hi, I’m Julie Phaxay — one of Minnesota’s most sought-after beauty and permanent makeup artists. 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!

Whether you’re here for a celebrity-level beauty experience or simply want to save time in the mornings while feeling more confident in your skin, I’d love to help you discover the transformative power of brows.
