About

Lero Luxe PMU is a permanent makeup studio in San Diego's University Heights neighborhood at 1730 Monroe Avenue, one block south of Adams Avenue in the 92116 ZIP. Owner and lead artist Valeriia Horiuk holds Master Artist certification and brings more than six years of training and client work across Europe and the United States, including a period teaching students at the Lero Luxe PMU Academy before relocating to San Diego. The service menu covers ombr' powder brows, nano brows using ultra-fine machine needles that replicate individual hair strokes, lip blushing with pixel-gradient pigment application, lash line enhancement, lash lifts, brow lamination, and dark-lip neutralization for correcting undertone shifts in previously tattooed lips — the same caliber of detail work that bridal clients coordinate alongside final dress fittings at ROSA'S EXPERT ALTERATIONS on Adams Avenue. Horiuk's nano-brow technique uses a specialized machine with needle modules calibrated to create crisp, hair-width lines that sit flatter in the dermis than traditional microblading strokes, extending pigment retention beyond the typical 12-to-18-month fade cycle. The studio also runs a mentoring program for working permanent makeup artists, offering two-day in-studio intensives where Horiuk observes and corrects technique on live clients — covering sketch creation, pigment selection, needle speed, numbing protocols, and post-procedure photography. Adams Avenue connects the studio to the full stretch of Normal Heights's personal-care corridor. University Heights sits directly above Balboa Park, and Park Blvd provides a direct route south to the park's cultural institutions. Sweat-proof powder brows appeal to clients at The Yard Gym Normal Heights on Adams Avenue, since the pigment holds through high-intensity training sessions without smearing or requiring pencil touch-ups. Lip blushing sessions run approximately three and a half hours and deposit pigment in a gradient pattern from lip edge to center, building a natural-looking tint that holds through two to three years before requiring a color refresh.
