Being a proud member of the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals and the American Academy of Micropigmentation, Jeanee Lusby is also an active participant in the SAAVE Program (Survivor Academy Action Volunteer Effort). The SAAVE Program is for cancer survivors. If you’ve lost your eyelashes or eyebrows from chemotherapy, then the SAAVE program is for you. If you’ve had breast cancer and need restoration of your nipple and areola, then the SAAVE Program is for you.
Most Academy members volunteer their expertise to help give you back your dignity. All they ask for is a smile when your treatments are completed. Jeanee is very honored to be a part of this wonderful program and with a sincere heart donates her services.

I’m 30 years old and I was recently diagnosed with cancer.
I’ve been going through chemotherapy for the last 4 months. As you all know chemotherapy causes hair loss. The thought of being a young bald woman with no eyebrows and eyelashes terrified me. My heart would ache at the very thought of it.
A friend of mine suggested I see Jeanee Lusby at NaturaLook for a permanent cosmetic consultation. I have to admit I was very leery. The thought of having my face tattooed made me nervous. Although, not as nervous as having to draw on eyebrows everyday. My friend convinced me to at least talk to Jeanee. My friend assured me that Jeanee had a great deal of experience and that I would not be disappointed.
So I decided to have a consult. I felt very comfortable talking to Jeanee. She educated me on permanent cosmetics and informed me on how much I could benefit from it. By the end of the consult I was ready to jump on the table. I had permanent cosmetic eyeliner and eyebrows done, and I love it! It has really made my cancer experience a little easier. Just knowing that I still have eyebrows on my face even though I have no hair helps me feel less self-conscious. Even though my eyelashes are gone I don’t feel completely bare. If it weren’t for my permanent eyeliner I would look even sicker and more washed out.
I can’t thank Jeanee and the staff at NaturaLook enough. Everyone is so nice and professional. I highly recommend them. They have helped me feel better about myself during this difficult time in my life.
I can’t wait to do my lips!
