We recently connected with Victoria Vela and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Victoria, thanks for joining us today. We love heartwarming stories – do you have a heartwarming story from your career to share?
One of the most meaningful moments in my career was working with a client who arrived wearing a headwrap and had no natural eyebrow growth. She brought her daughter with her to observe the process, and right away, I could sense the deep bond between them. As we began our consultation, she opened up about her journey—she was a two-time breast cancer survivor who lived outside of the country and no longer had the time or energy to draw on her eyebrows every day.
I knew this session would be significant. I could already envision the transformation and the confidence that beautifully crafted, natural-looking brows could restore. I took my time to ensure she felt comfortable, cared for, and seen throughout every step of the procedure.
When I handed her the mirror at the end, she stared at her reflection in silence before tears began to fall. She stood up, hugged me tightly, and told me she felt beautiful again—that she never imagined her eyebrows could look so natural. In that moment, the room was filled with emotion. As she left, I found myself in tears too. That experience reminded me of the power of this work—it’s not just about aesthetics, it’s about helping people reclaim parts of themselves. I still think about her often.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
From a young age, I had a deep appreciation for art. I spent much of my childhood drawing, painting, and expressing myself creatively through visual mediums. While I didn’t initially realize it would lead me into the beauty industry, my passion for art—and especially for capturing the beauty of natural features—eventually found its home in aesthetics.
I’ve always believed that true beauty lies in subtlety. My goal has never been to change someone’s face, but to enhance what already makes them unique. I focus on creating soft, natural-looking results that restore symmetry, define features, and bring harmony to the face. That desire to elevate natural beauty is what led me into permanent makeup. With permanent makeup, I have the privilege of not only enhancing features like the eyes and lips but also rebuilding what time, illness, or genetics may have taken away—such as eyebrows lost to aging or medical conditions. It’s an art form where science and creativity meet, and it allows me to make a meaningful impact on my clients’ confidence and quality of life.
Today, my brand is centered around providing advanced cosmetic treatments with one core philosophy: enhancing natural beauty without ever masking it. I am especially passionate about nanobrows, which have become one of my signature services. Nanobrows are created using ultra-fine machine strokes that mimic the appearance of real hair with remarkable precision. This technique allows me to recreate the look of natural eyebrow growth, restoring definition, symmetry, and softness in a way that looks completely seamless and undetectable.
In addition to nanobrows, I offer microblading, lip blushing, and permanent eyeliner — all tailored to enhance my clients’ unique features while maintaining a soft, natural aesthetic. I am also a certified neurotoxin injector (commonly known as Botox) and provide lip filler services. Even with medical aesthetics, my approach remains the same: subtle, precise enhancements that support facial harmony without looking overdone. My clients often come to me because they want to look refreshed, youthful, and confident — not altered. The treatments I offer are designed to restore what has been lost or gently enhance what already exists, all while preserving the integrity and individuality of each client’s natural features.
What truly sets my brand apart is the intentional and collaborative experience I provide every client. My mission is not just to perform a service, but to understand each person’s goals, concerns, and emotional journey. Before I begin any treatment—whether it’s permanent makeup or injectables—I take time to ask thoughtful questions: What are you hoping to achieve? What bothers you most? Have you ever had a previous experience that made you feel uncomfortable or disappointed? These conversations are essential, because beauty is deeply personal, and every client deserves to feel safe, heard, and empowered in the process.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, I customize every detail of the treatment. Clients are involved in every decision—from eyebrow mapping and pigment selection to neurotoxin placement and lip filler design. I walk them through my recommendations, explain the anatomy and artistry behind each choice, and ensure they have a moment to review and approve before we begin. This collaborative approach not only delivers better results—it builds trust. My clients leave my studio not only looking refreshed, but also feeling confident, in control, and genuinely cared for. I believe that is what makes my work truly meaningful, and it’s why my brand has become known for natural results and an exceptional client experience.
While I’ve been honored to be recognized as one of the top microblading artists in the industry, my greatest accomplishments aren’t defined by awards or rankings—they are defined by my clients. The most meaningful measure of success to me is when a client not only loves their results, but trusts me enough to refer the people they care about most. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of treating entire families—mothers, daughters, sisters, and in-laws—all coming to me because someone they love had an incredible experience and felt truly cared for.
That kind of trust is my biggest achievement. It tells me that I’m not just providing a service; I’m creating an experience that makes people feel seen, valued, and confident in their own skin. I often go back and read my Google reviews, and each testimonial reminds me why I do what I do. The words that mean the most to me are not about perfection—they are about how I made someone feel: comfortable, beautiful, and empowered. That is what I am most proud of.
At the core of my brand is a deep commitment to my clients and a relentless passion for excellence. I want people to know that when they choose me, they are choosing someone who genuinely cares about their experience, their confidence, and their long-term results. This is not just a business to me—it’s a craft and a calling. I invest heavily in continued education, constantly seeking out advanced trainings, studying emerging trends, and mastering innovative techniques to ensure my clients always receive the highest level of care using the most cutting-edge methods in the industry.
I am especially proud to be a leading specialist in nanobrows—one of the most advanced techniques in permanent makeup today. It’s a service that requires immense artistic precision, technical knowledge, and a trained eye for natural aesthetics, and it is an area where I truly excel. But beyond the technique, what matters most to me is the transformation I provide—both in appearance and in confidence. Every client who walks through my door is treated with compassion, attention to detail, and genuine care. My mission is simple: to enhance natural beauty in a way that feels authentic, empowering, and life-changing. I want my clients and followers to know that they are not just receiving a service—they are receiving my very best, every single time.
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
I believe my reputation grew because I was very intentional from the beginning about the type of artist I wanted to be known as. I took the time to truly understand what my clients were looking for—natural, believable, hair-stroke results—and I dedicated myself to mastering those techniques at the highest level. Rather than offering every trend or chasing volume, I focused on becoming the go-to artist for hyper-realistic nanobrows, microblading, and hair-stroke style permanent makeup.
Living and operating in a smaller market actually became one of my greatest advantages. In communities like ours, word-of-mouth is incredibly powerful. People talk, they share experiences, and they recommend people they trust. By consistently delivering personalized, natural results and ensuring every client felt heard, respected, and thrilled with their outcome, word spread quickly. I didn’t just build a clientele—I built trust. And in this industry, trust is everything.
Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?
Beyond the foundational training and technical skills we start with, I believe the key to long-term success in this industry is adaptability through continuous education. The field envolves rapidly – what was considered the most advanced pigment or device a few years ago may now be outdated, replaced by newer innovations that offer better retention, safer formulations, or more natural results. To truly excel, you have to remain curious, open-minded, and proactive in staying up-to-date with the latest tools, products, and techniques.
Every year, the industry advances. New needle configurations emerge, pigment formulations improve, and technology becomes more precise. I’ve made it a priority to not only keep up with these changes – but to stay ahead of them. I am constantly researching, seeking advanced certifications, and investing in new tools that allow me to deliver unmatched results for my clients. In an industry where innovation never stops, success belongs to the artist who never stops learning.
