Alicia Shapira is the founder and owner of New Image Beauty Bar. Funny enough, Shapira started as a full-time speech pathologist/cognitive trainer with two of her very own schools that she owned and operated. She really enjoyed her patients, but wanted a career change. She had dreams of getting into the beauty world, so she went back to school and graduated from her esthetician, permanent makeup/paramedical school. She knew once she had her first permanent makeup client, that this was the right decision for her.
She specializes in all of the following procedures: microblading, permanent upper and lower eyeliner, hair stroke eyebrows, shading eyebrows, permanent lip liner & lip blushing, hair simulation for men and women, Brazilian stretch mark and scar camouflage, lift tattoo

removal, collagen induction therapy (cit), dry tattooing, surgical scar softening, breast areola tattooing (3d-areola repigmentation), makeup services, dermaplaning, lash lift and tint, Brazilian under eye camouflage, vitamin glow treatment, BB glow facial treatment, fibroblast treatment, hyaluron pen injections for the face, lips.

The one procedure she am most proud of would have to be the Brazilian stretch mark and scar camouflage tattoo. This differs from the standard American technique, and Shapira was the first artist to learn directly from the creator himself, Rodolfo Torres from Brazil, and practice and teach this procedure in the USA. “I believe my passion for perfection and my constant want for knowledge and growth sets me apart from others,” says Shapira. “I always feel the need to keep up with the times and learn the latest and greatest of procedures to help people feel beautiful and confident.”
