About Us

At Inksthetics, our mission is to restore confidence, redefine beauty, and empower individuals in Alexandria, VA, and across the DMV area—including Northern Virginia, Washington DC, and Maryland—through the art of permanent makeup, paramedical tattooing, scar revision, stretch mark treatments, and restorative beauty services.

Born from a shared passion for transformation, Inksthetics is a creation of love—a space where artistry meets purpose. Co-founded by Kenza and Zain, it represents the perfect blend of creativity, compassion, and precision, offering expert permanent makeup and paramedical services to clients throughout Alexandria, Old Town Alexandria, Northern Virginia, Washington DC, and Maryland.

Kenza’s journey began with a background in spatial architecture and design, where her natural sense of symmetry and balance evolved into a deep love for beauty and self-expression. As the go-to makeup artist for friends and family—especially during her favorite time of year, Halloween—Kenza realized her artistry could touch lives on a deeper level. What started as a hobby grew into a calling to help others feel confident in their own skin through permanent makeup and paramedical tattoo services.

Zain, with years of experience in hair restoration and transplants, has helped countless individuals across the DMV area regain their self-esteem. Understanding the profound connection between appearance and confidence, he wanted to expand his expertise into something even more personal. Although new to permanent makeup, his foundation in aesthetics and restoration brought perfect harmony to Inksthetics’ mission.

Together, Kenza and Zain created Inksthetics—a sanctuary dedicated to helping people in the DMV area reclaim confidence, enhance natural beauty, and celebrate themselves. Every service, from eyebrow microblading and lip blush to scar revision, stretch mark camouflage, and scalp micropigmentation, is performed with intention, artistry, and care.

—because at Inksthetics, beauty is not about changing who you are, but restoring what makes you feel whole.
