It took me a while to find an artist. I did some research, read reviews, and checked social media, and I bumped into Sculpted. I was stunned by the quality of work and didn’t hesitate to book my appointment with Carla. She is just amazing, a true professional, and a positive character. She understood perfectly what I wanted and exceeded my expectations. My biggest concern was my uneven lips, and I wondered if it might look weird. Carla took her time to work with my muscles to make them look as even as possible, and she succeeded. I love the result and can’t wait to see my lips fully healed. Also, it wasn’t painful at all, and my lips didn’t swell or hurt as I thought they would. I definitely recommend Sculpted Studios.

I reached out to Sculpted Studios to help fix a botched scalp micropigmentation procedure that was performed on me late last year by a different provider. I spoke to both Steve and Carla and they offered me a couple of corrective options in order to achieve the look that I wanted. Their explanations were detailed and that made the decison process easier. Within a few days I was at their studio in Manhattan for a laser procedure in order to lighten up the dark spots and fade the pigmentation. Carla and the Laser Technician/Proceduralist Cheryl were very friendly, professional and reassuring. Their expertise and experience were evident during and after the procedure. Although this was the initial step, I am very happy with the results and my experience with Sculpted Studios.

I got permanent lash liner with Kyla and I love it! She is also just the cutest and sweetest human ever! I traveled from WA because I had done previous training with Sculpted, and I knew that I wasn’t going to trust just anyone with permanent make-up! The sculpted team is in my opinion setting the bar in the industry.So happy I made the trip to see Kyla! She did not disappoint!

I had my second session with Karla and I love my lips even more than when I first had it done. My lips posed issues as a result of a procedure I had earlier. My bottom lip was definitely misshapen. Karla did an outstanding job and I am no longer self-conscious of the way I look. I do not miss applying lipstick! Thanks Karla. Love you!

Shifting one’s thinking to better their knowledge means being open to new ideas, perspectives, and approaches that challenge existing beliefs or habits. It involves stepping out of one’s comfort zone, questioning assumptions, and embracing continuous learning. As a trainer I constantly continue expanding my education to ensure I stay updated with the latest techniques, trends, and knowledge in my field. Choosing Carla took alot of research on my end to assure she was the trainer for me AND I was 100% correct ! She’s spent years breaking down techniques to really understand the “why” and “how” behind every decision an artist makes. Because of her hard work, she’s created techniques and theories that are now known worldwide, completely changing how PMU is done.
I cant say enough about this course other than….. regardless if youre a beginner, advanced or a trainer with an open mind, you wont be disappointed !
By continuously learning I can provide students with the most accurate, innovative, and effective training. It also helps trainers enhance their skills, stay competitive, and meet industry standards, ultimately benefiting their students through high-quality instruction and mentorship.
Thanks to Carla, so many of us now have the tools to tackle those challenges and feel confident in our craft.

Olga did an amazing job during a student model class. The pain level was minimal as they applied a numbing gel and the tattooing portion only took around 2 hours. I love sculpted studios as Carla did my brows around 2 years ago and they still look phenomenal! I would highly recommend Olga, Carla and sculpted studios in general for your permanent makeup needs!!! They are also always so friendly! Thank you again for my perfect lip tint and brows :) the first photo of my lips are before and the next ones are immediately after. The last one is 2 days after!!

I’m not even finished with Carla’s Ultimate Lip Training, and already, I feel so grateful to have taken this leap. Carla is an incredible teacher not just because of how knowledgeable and experienced she is, but because of how much she genuinely cares. In a world where it’s so easy to get caught up in quick fixes and shortcuts, Carla brings us back to what truly matters.. doing things the right way, for the right reasons.
Carla has a way of making every student feel valued and heard. She answered every single one of my questions with so much thought and care, and she really challenged me to dig deeper and ask why. It’s a shift in mindset I didn’t even know I needed. I’ve taken other courses before and often left feeling overwhelmed and unsure, but after just two days with Carla, I feel more inspired and confident to dig deeper.
Carla’s kindness, patience, and energy are unmatched. She pours her heart into her teaching, and you can feel it every step of the way. I trusted my gut in traveling all the way to NYC for her training, and I couldn’t be happier with that decision. My only regret is not staying longer and booking even more courses with her.
Thank you, Carla, for restoring my faith in this industry and reminding me why I started. You’ve truly opened my eyes to so much, and I will carry this experience with me forever.

Wow just wow the Sculpted Color Theory for Lips was the BEST COURSE I ever took and I took lots to the extend I can fill 2 walls from top to bottom with Certificates. I was very intense a packed with info. I won’t lie it was difficult but man so worth it. Carla didn’t leave any secrets out she talks about all types of lips including neutralization. It is so packed with information that it would take a full page on this review to talk about it but the best course of ever taken.

Wow! Ive been doing permanent cosmetics since 2003 and I have never been exposed or taught anything like this. Carla mastered her craft in color theory based on all her extensive experience I highly respect. She is so detailed and I loved learning every ounce I could from her. This course should be required for all doing any type of lips. I know feel confident and honored to offer this service to my clients. This will set you apart and make you a pro. Then on top of the amazing knowledge, she has made a beautiful color line to make things easier for you in your appointments. I am thankful for the experience!

I seriously love my results! The transformation is huge for me, but it’s so natural that no one can even tell I had anything done—they just keep saying how great I look. Steve made the whole process super easy and relaxed. It wasn’t painful at all; I even ended up falling asleep during the sessions!
I did a ton of research before deciding on SMP because I wanted to make sure I got it done right. I’m so glad I found Steve—he’s amazing at what he does. Now that it’s all done, I can’t believe I waited so long to go for it! If you’re thinking about scalp micropigmentation in Miami, don’t wait—go see Steve! You’ll be so happy you did.

I had the pleasure of being seen by Carla and Steve! Leaders in their industry, intelligent, kind, respectful and full attention to details and what your needs are. I survived a medical condition that left my hairline permanently damaged and Steve and Carla are Rockstars and extremely concerned for their clients. My before and afters are with no filters no trickery they’re literally that talented and I really wish more people knew about their wonderful artistry, education, knowledge and all around greatness! The pictures speak for themselves. Please give Sculpted Studios a try! They restored my confidence and gave me back my dignity! Thank you both! Took me 2 sessions but I can literally pull my hair back into styles like French braids, ponytails and no one knows the difference because of Steve and Carla. Don’t hesitate give Sculpted Studios in NYC and Miami the chance to restore and make you look and feel amazing!

She took the time to explain the entire process and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. The results are stunning – my lips look fuller, more defined, and the color is perfect for my natural tone.

I recently completed the Sculpted Lip Color Theory class with Carla. It has been mind-blowing. You have 30 days to complete the class, and I recommend you take advantage of all 30 days. I've been doing permanent makeup for 18 years and Carla's in-depth knowledge of the science behind our pigments is remarkable. She thoroughly explains the whys on how our pigments behave the way they do in lips. I've noticed patterns over the years and her science completely explained everything. After this class, I now understand why certain colorants did better in the skin. I also know what colorants I will no longer use and why as well. Thank you so much Carla for all your hard work and dedication to making our pigments (and us) the best we can be.

I just completed the Sculpted Color Theory training for lips, and it has truly transformed the way I see lip micropigmentation. It’s no longer about just picking a pretty color—now it’s about understanding what’s behind that color. Knowing the composition and how it will react on the skin makes all the difference! I feel much more confident in predicting results, rather than just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.
Thank you, Carla, for such a revolutionary course. Your passion for change in the industry is inspiring, and I’m grateful to have been a part of it. Looking forward to our next training!

I got my scalp micropigmentation (SMP) done by Stevey G in NYC at his studio Sculpted. I gotta tell you, it’s the best move I’ve ever made. I did mad research before I picked him, and honestly, I couldn’t have chosen better. Stevey breaks everything down in a way that’s super easy to get, and you can tell he knows what he’s doing.
I was freaking out that the ink would turn blue or look fake, but nah, it came out fire! It’s been 9 months now, and my hairline still looks fresh. It’s wild how much better I look, but nobody even knows it’s not real. That’s how good this guy is.
If you’re thinking about SMP in NYC, hit up Stevey G. He’s the real deal. Big shoutout to Stevey for making me look and feel 100 times better!”

Honestly, I battled cancer and if you seen my before pictures. It was such a sad time in my life.
My hairline was going to be like that for the rest of my life.
And because of Steve and his amazing work, his gifted hand as an artist, literally gave me new life.
I'm not ashamed to be seen with the little bit of natural hair that I got, because he gave me back my dignity.
He's a really good guy. He loves his family, is truthful and honest to his clients.
On a personal note, the conversation that we had about mutual values and morals was really nice.
He's a quiet guy, very focused, listens and suggests but ultimately what he does is astonishing!
Further he’s extremely educated and literally light years ahead of the technics he steeps himself in and teaches.
A well rounded person and an extremely knowledgeable, experienced and he will absolutely listen and Taylor to your needs and situation.
What he did for me by restoring my hairline, and my bald spots means so much to me and my family.
As a woman we struggle to look your best, and when you look your best, you feel your best.
He has such an amazing gift I literally just wanna share it with like everybody that I know!
The confidence that he gave me back to be able to get in a pool and swim with my kids and go to the ocean my absolute place of peace, because I was in the Navy for 12 years.
So I am a child of water...
But covering your bald spots with root touchup or the powder that they sell is terrible, if you're even caught in something as simple as rain...
Your hairline literally melts in water.
So from my family to his family, we are truly grateful to Steve and Carla for helping me come full circle and kicking cancers ass!
My next session is coming up soon.
I will be requesting business cards, and I'll literally be a walking billboard for him free of charge, for what he's done for me! Thanks again Steve, Carla and the whole team! So professional, kind, extremely accommodating. Everyone is so nice.
I am counting down the days to my second session it's gonna look extra phenomenal.
To everybody else on his team thank you all so much!
~Eve
Below are my before pictures, it doesn’t look that bad in photos, but in person from Chemo it will never grow back and looks much worse in person. I will get back on after my second session and show you his AMAZING gifted talent!

More
Before you understand what Sculpted has done for me, I have to break down in honesty and tell you how shallow/insecure I became after losing my hair. It was one of those “misery loves company” type situations. I became palpably irritable and miserable. I just felt ugly and reposed to “interaction” because it was obvious to me the difference in attracting attention when you have hair, Vs when you don’t, as I had sadly lived both eras during my youth.
On top of that, I was born to a Colombian family, so, if you know… you KNOW! If not, just understand that aesthetics and beauty were always prevalent in my upbringing… especially because my mom happens to have always been drop-dead gorgeous. For reference, I look like my dad… lol So I was always JUST behind the finish line.
Because of this, I saw firsthand how people dealt with her differently JUST BECAUSE, she was/is gorgeous. And I am talking men and women alike…
As a result, I have been able to postulate and recognize the psychological impact of 1) the importance of how people see/perceive you and 2) how you see yourself and how it affects your comfortability around others.
My long, boring point is, even in recognition of all these variables, it could never account to how amazing I feel now, just walking into a room of people… heck; running into an empty room with a mirror alone! It’s impressively and effectively impacting. The more common term is “life-changing”.
What I found most interesting is that, people I have known for over 20 years, a period of which I have been bald for the whole time, after my first few sessions, said to me, “nice haircut”. 😳
I’m talking BEST, see-you-every-day kinda, FRIENDS!! lol. I’ve yet to correct any of them. 😂🫢
Aside from rambling on about “my feelings”, I also need to take the time to thank, re-thank and, maybe even grovel a little bit in front of all the Sculpted crew.
Steve, you did so much to accommodate me.
That one day I got lost and came in all sweaty, you cleaned my head down (several times), handed me a roll of paper towel, set my chair right under the AC, but never batted an eye! I was SO embarrassed, feeling gross/helpless because I live 45 minutes away and didn’t wanna miss my appointment. However, you treated my situation like you were dealing with a family member.
Steve is an ACTUAL artist, which you think is most important but, NOPE…
Once you EXPERIENCE Steve, you’ll know what I mean… he is elaborate in his explanations of what he intends to PERMANENTLY secure on your dermis, he’s SO awesome about LISTENING to your goals and tweaking his craft to meet your vision.
It means SO much to see someone INVESTED in what he’s doing to better your appearance. You see it BRINGS HIM JOY to make you look good.
WHAT ELSE COULD YOU ASK FOR FROM AN ARTIST ATTEMPTING A PERMANENT CHANGE IN YOUR APPEARANCE!!!???!
ANYONE who wants this done should AT LEAST do their research on this place.
Look, I might sound cute here because I’m HAPPY, but I’m a b!tch!!! Not easily pleased!! However, this WHOLE experience was top quality, Mariah Carey level, luxury aesthetic enhancement.

This course absolutely blew my mind. The world of permanent makeup can be the wild west sometimes, with fly-by-night trainings and people teaching with incorrect information. FINALLY, someone thoroughly did the hard work of doing lip blush/neutralization RIGHT, applying expertise, experience, science, research and data, complimented by her specially formulated pigments which can now finally provide us in the field with ANSWERS and results for our clients. This course is dense, and challenging, but worth every minute. I am simply blown away. I still have a ton more studying to do, but I can't wait to apply these skills to my clients. Thank you Carla Riccardione!

I couldn’t be happier with the knowledge I’ve gained from this 30 day lip blush color theory course. Let’s stop choosing pigments because it’s pretty or because the guide in the box said so. Be able to create more predictable HEALED results and you will flourish as a PMU artist! Thank you Carla and Kyla 💗

I recently had the pleasure of getting a lip blush done by Carla at Sculpted Studios, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, Carla's care and attention to detail were exceptional.
Carla took the time to thoroughly explain the entire lip blush process, addressing any concerns I had and making sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. Her expertise and knowledge were evident, and I felt confident in her hands throughout the entire procedure.
One thing that truly stood out was Carla's ability to select the perfect color for my lips. She carefully considered my skin tone and natural lip color, resulting in the most exquisite shade that suits me perfectly. I couldn't have asked for a better match!
Aside from her exceptional skills, Carla's positive energy and warm personality made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Her genuine care and passion for her work were evident, and it created a welcoming and relaxing environment.
I'm eagerly looking forward to the healing process and can't wait to see the final results. I have no doubt that Carla's attention to detail and commitment to excellence will shine through in the final outcome.
Thank you, Carla, for your phenomenal work and for making this experience so memorable. I highly recommend Carla at Sculpted Studios to anyone looking for a skilled professional who genuinely cares about their clients' satisfaction.

She is so sweet kind hearted ❤️ beautiful in and out God bless her I had my lips done and I'm so HAPPY SATISFIED. I'm glad I got to meet this beautiful soul. She gave me instructions on how and why when I asked about my lips 💋 I would recommend going to sculpted lips if you wanna get your lips ,liner ,eyebrows ,etc. But the only sad part is that I won't get to see her for 2 years to redo my lips I miss her already.
Thank you Carla your the best God bless you and your family.See u soon.xoxoxo

As a newly licensed artist only having worked on brows, I reserved a seat in Carla’s Lip Blush Fundamentals class and I am so happy I did. The quality of education I received during those three days was incredible. But, what really surprised me was the support I have been receiving after training in-person.
I went on to take lip and brow color theory webinars, and the responses we all received from Cori and Carla were always quick and thorough. Carla even sent videos and answered questions in our group chat on Christmas Eve when she was home with her daughter.
It is difficult to pick an educator to train with in this industry, but Carla is truly the best. She presents you with the foundational knowledge to think for yourself and have a deeper understanding of your craft.
I met one of my closest friends at this training, who had me as her lip blush model this past weekend in NY with Cori, who is also incomparable.
These classes have truly changed my life. I look forward to taking another Sculpted training and would highly encourage other artists to as well.

This class has been a game changer! I had previously taken an in person lip neutralization class and learned ZERO about color theory! Whenever I would ask for assistance from the teacher. I was told. Just remember orange will always shift the color. Ughhhhh. Thanks?!
I quickly realized that I had learned absolutely nothing and it confirmed even more that I needed to take this class! The ONLINE training I received surpassed my expectations. It was worth WAY more than I learned and paid for in that in person training class.
Carla doesn’t just GIVE you the information. She makes sure it is retained! Best money I have spent since starting PMU.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

I was and am not at all happy with my experience there to my dismay😥
The place is clean and elegant, but I payed $750
For supposedly permanent eye brow tattoo.
It’s devastating, first I have one brow higher than the other also tattoo color - after being a light brown- is now reddish beige :(
I could send you a photo if you don’t believe me!

Kyla was very skilled and told me step by step what to expect and what was going to happen. She was very picky on how the pre lining of my brows were before even starting the tattooing process.
They turned out amazing after covering up my blading from prior treatments. I love the way they look and I am so happy not to have to put on brows every morning. Kyla also just did my liner on my second visit and I am loving the results. I can't wait to have her color my lips.

Ahhh! THE MOST VALUABLE education you will ever get for your permanent makeup career. Carla is a master of her art, passionate about WHY we do what we do - change the industry. Learn the WHY we do what we do from Carla’s immense knowledge, experience and understanding of Implanting pigment in skin. Her color theory for choosing the most complimentary color makes sense for SKIN. I am beyond grateful for her knowledge and wanting to share it with us all - to be better. To do better. You are an absolute force Carla. Training online with you forever impacted why I do what I do. Learning from you in person was simply a dream come true. Do not sleep on learning all you can through Carla.

This past Sunday I had my first appointment at Sculpted Studios with Carla. Let me start by saying the studio is a beautiful space ( almost as Beautiful as Carla herself :) it’s so very welcoming and calming.You almost forget your about to get a tattoo on your face! So if ambiance matters to you they definitely got that covered . I had my full lips and top lid eyeliner done both procedures were practically painless and over so quick I was disappointed it was already time to go. Carla is amazing at what she does. She makes you feel completely at ease my. My eyeliner is perfect ! And my lips haven’t looked this good in years. The customer service hers is excellent, and I deeply thank Carla and her assistant who booked my appointment for taking me on as a client. I highly recommend coming here for your permanent makeup.I definitely look forward to returning in the future.

The best thing I’ve done to my body is getting my lip tattooed by Carla! My lips turned out so beautiful! Every time I look at the mirror I can’t help but to smile :) I have naturally purple/ grey lips and it was my biggest insecurity. If I don’t have lipstick on, people would ask me if I’m feeling alright because I would look sick :( I researched A LOT before deciding to do my lips with Carla; I’ve seen so many horror/ botched job done by others.. Carla took her time lining my lips for the best shape and she personalized the color that would suit me the best and I LOVE them! Carla is absolutely amazing and a master at her work. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone considering getting cosmetic tattoo done, you won’t regret it!
