Student Feedback

I recently took Cece’s Lip Blush and Neutralization class, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Cece is a fantastic mentor—knowledgeable, supportive, and truly passionate about what she does. She made the class so engaging and was always willing to answer any questions we had. I especially loved how hands-on the training was, from working on real models to creating fun reels together—it made the learning process enjoyable and memorable. I honestly wish the class had been longer than just three days because I learned so much and had such a great time. If you’re considering taking a class with Cece, I highly recommend it! You’ll walk away with valuable skills, more confidence, and a mentor who genuinely cares about your success.

I had no idea how involved and dedicated of a trainer she would be. Other trainings I took, trainers would help you that day but wouldn’t really be there for support long after or even check up on you. But that isn’t the case with Cece. Not only did her training set me up for success, she was there after the training to make sure I was succeeding.

Ever since enrolling in you class, and starting my business so many things have changed for me. I stopped laying in bed all day, and the feelings of depression/anxiety slowly faded away. Now I’m fully booked for a whole month and I spend my days meeting new amazing people, I was even able to pay my late college tuition fees!

Cece, I just want to thank you for believing in me since the day I met you. Meeting you was one of the best days of my life, and I didn’t even know it yet. When I came to you for my Microblading back in 2017, I had no idea the appointment would lead to a life changing conversation. The moment I showed interest in Microblading, you immediately shared information with me and helped in ways I never expected. I remember leaving my appointment and feeling so inspired. A fire was lit inside of me that had been gone for a long time. You didn’t know at the time, but I was struggling mentally and financially, hated my job, and was at one of the lowest points in my life. I had no passion for my 9-5 job, and was working tons of OT just to pay my bills. I stayed in toxic relationships because I was constantly in survival mode trying to pay all of my bills. I wasn’t the independent woman I wanted to be. I took the advice you gave me and signed up for my Phibrows course. I look back at our texts and see all the questions I asked you and how much you helped me get my business off the ground. I didn’t pay you to be my mentor or teach me anything, you did it from the kindness of your heart. You are a very special person and without your help and guidance, I’m not sure I would have followed my dreams. Here I am 4 years later, I have a successful business, a homeowner, and just bought my dream car! I’m so grateful to be able to call you my friend and MENTOR! You’re still here helping me elevate my business. Taking your lip blush course was a game changer. I’m happy I got to learn from you. I know how much you invest into yourself to keep your knowledge sharp and up to date. And once again, you prove to be everything I want in a friend and Mentor. You stuck by my side and have helped me every step of the way. I’m already booked out 2 months with lip blush! I can’t believe we get to do business side by side and live these lives we get to live. I’ll never forget what you did for me. My life is completely different now, and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.

For the past four years, I've had the incredible privilege of being mentored by @ceceinkspmu. Throughout this journey, while balancing a full-time job and personal commitments, Cece has been a constant source of guidance, encouragement, and wisdom. No matter how busy, she was, she always made time to listen and guide. Looking back over these four years, I'm deeply grateful for the patience, trust, and wisdom Cece has shared. Cece has been more than a mentor - she has been a role model and a steady presence through every challenge and success.

Hi everyone! My name is Sharon. I graduated from SJSU with my bachelor’s in accounting and thought that was the “safe” route to take, but it was never really my passion. Fast forward to the present, I started my journey in permanent makeup because I fell in love with the way it can completely transform someone’s confidence while still looking soft, natural, and effortless. While specializing in brows and lips, my mission is to help you wake up confident every day with effortless beauty that complements your unique features.

As a PMU brow artist expanding into lip services, Cece immediately identified how to improve my technique and coached me the whole way through. She is incredibly passionate about teaching & it shows! She pushes her students outside their comfort zones to grow into stronger artists. Cece is incredibly thorough and detail oriented - not only in her artistry but in how she runs her business. I’ve taken two trainings with Cece - Saline Removal & 90 Day Lip Blush Mentorship. She has always been transparent and truly “always on” for her students, even outside the classroom! Thank you Cece for all your help and guidance!!💖

As a longtime client of Cece’s and now a student of hers, I can confidently say she is one of the best in the industry. Her communication and attention to detail are unmatched. I took her lip course, and what stood out most was the level of support she provides. She checks in multiple times a week, is incredibly responsive, and gives tons of detailed feedback. She genuinely wants to see her students succeed and goes above and beyond to help them. Cece provides real hands-on experience while giving you the guidance you need to improve. She helps you take quality photos of your first few models and works with you to get your content ready to post. She also shares your work on her own page, helping you gain exposure as you build your portfolio. You can send her your work for feedback and corrections, and she takes the time to help you understand what needs improvement. Of course, your progress ultimately depends on how much you practice, but having a mentor this invested in your growth makes a huge difference. If you’re traveling or have a long commute, I recommend staying nearby if possible so you have more time to practice during training days. There is so much to learn in just 2–3 days, so the more you practice before and after training, the more you’ll get out of the experience!
