The last of Season 1, and what an episode to finish on. If you are looking for a little inspiration, or a little reassurance to keep going, then this is the one for you. We got to chat with the absolutely amazing and truly inspiring, Tracie Giles.
With over 25 years’ professional experience, Tracie Giles is recognised as a global leader in Permanent Makeup and Aesthetics.
Tracie began her career as a freelance Permanent Makeup Artist in 1999, in what was still a relatively unknown industry in the UK. She worked from various salons where she steadily built her client base, perfected her skills, and developed her own exclusive PMU techniques.
Having trained extensively in the UK, the US and Eastern Europe, Tracie adopted a novel approach when founding Tracie Giles London by combining the fine artistry that was prevalent in Eastern Europe with the very best health and safety practices from America. Combining these two disciplines in such a new and unregulated industry had never been done before, and this was the driving force behind Tracie recruiting an international team, sharing skills, and standardizing Permanent Makeup techniques.
In 2003, Tracie founded Tracie Giles London and within 2 years established a permanent base in London’s Harley Street. Fast forward 5 more years and Tracie had achieved her goal of becoming the first and only UK salon dedicated to the art of Permanent Makeup, bringing luxury cosmetic tattooing to the high street from a 5-storey Knightsbridge clinic operating 6 days per week with a multi-million pound turnover. In 2016, Tracie and her daughter Charlotte founded PMU training and product supply brand ID Liner and in 2023, Tracie Giles proudly became part of the Private Clinic Group, working alongside some of the UK’s very best doctors and cosmetic surgeons to provide a multi-disciplinary treatment offering to their clients.
A true pioneer of Semi-Permanent Makeup in the UK and a determined businesswoman, Tracie Giles London is now one of the leading Permanent Makeup clinics worldwide, a celebrity favourite and featuring monthly in the press. With a team of award-winning expert Permanent Makeup Artists cherry-picked from around the globe, we have an unrivalled reputation for delivering exceptional Permanent Makeup results and are firmly established as a vintage in the world of Permanent Makeup.
