KAREN L. CUNNINGHAM
History
Karen was born and raised in Chicago, IL and attended Purdue University earning a Bachelors degree in Marketing and Business. After graduating, she started a career as an interior decorator, but she quickly realized her real passion was creating drama on surfaces. Inspired by her love for decorative finishes, she trained with one of the finest Faux Artists in the business. She learned the art and techniques of various faux finishes and plasters, and specialized in old world textures, Italian plaster, luster stone, metallic and many other finishes. Below are some pictures from her faux finishes portfolio demonstrating her abilities as an artist.
Permanent Makeup Training
After receiving permanent makeup for herself, she immediately loved the idea of expanding her artistic abilities from walls to faces. She graduated from the American Institute of Intradermal Cosmetics (AIIC) with an advanced degree as a cosmetic technician. AIIC is internationally recognized as a top institution for Permanent Makeup training, education, and research. She is also the owner of Permanent Makeup Creations, (www.permanentmakeupcreations.com) located in Jacksonville, FL.
With her background in faux finishing artistry and Permanent Makeup, she now brings her experience in design, color and aesthetic touch to Scalp Micropigmentation.

RON R. CUNNINGHAM
History
Ron Cunningham was born and raised in Gary, Indiana. At the age of 22, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. After leaving the Marine Corps, he owned an exotic animal business. He quickly became the local rehabilitator for all the wildlife in the area, and he worked hard to rescue cats and dogs that were roaming the streets.
For the last 20 years, he worked for CSX Railroad, as a Train Dispatcher, controlling hundreds of miles of track. A job that required incredible attention to detail, which he now transfers to his Scalp Micropigmentation work.
In 2017, an incredible opportunity came his way and he was offered an apprentice position in the field of Permanent Makeup. He took a bold step and moved to Jacksonville, Florida to start a new career. It was his work in the field of permanent makeup that awoke his passion for helping people.
After reading an article on the internet about how men were getting their heads tattooed for hair loss, Ron knew that was exactly what he wanted to do. He really enjoyed changing people’s lives and restoring their confidence. The transformation that occurs for both men and women in a matter of hours with SMP was inspiring and amazing.
