Hannah Cruse

PMU Artist

St. Louis

Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m a certified Permanent Makeup Artist, proud wife, and mom. After years in the office world, I finally took a leap to follow my true passion—beauty and self-expression. I’ve always been drawn to helping others feel confident, and now I get to do that every day through the art of permanent makeup. I was trained and certified right here at Inked Beauty Bar in brows, eyeliner, and lips, and I’m so excited to bring your natural beauty to life with every stroke. I can’t wait to welcome you into my chair and help you feel even more radiant and empowered!

Cheyenne Haberland

PMU Artist

St. Louis

Hi everyone! I’m Cheyenne! I offer permanent makeup as well as teeth whitening, and permanent jewelry. A little about me—I am a wife, a mom, a book reader and an animal lover. My life is full of dance classes, instrument lessons, and way too many Friends quotes! I come from working in the medical field, where I mostly enjoyed bonding with patients. After several years wanting a change, I followed a dream to do something more creative— where I get to blend beauty, connection, and care. Struggling with confidence myself, it has been an honor to help lift others.  Let’s create something beautiful together!

Vicki Wilken

PMU Artist & Fine Line Tattoo Artist

St. Louis

Hi everyone-I’m Vicki! I am a permanent makeup and tiny tattoo artist. I have been in the permanent makeup industry since 2021. I specialize in powder brows, micro blading, lip blushing, lash line enhancement and fine line tattoos. I have always loved all things beauty and art, so bringing those two realms together to make people feel better about themselves is what gives me joy. I strongly believe in self care and doing whatever makes you feel better about yourself, inside and out. When I’m not working, I love spending time with my son and daughter, watching football (Go Cowboys!) and eating lots of cheese!
