Diva  (noun)
Derived from the Italian word meaning  Goddess or Fine lady

When you look good, you feel good! Putting on a little make-up will help you feel confident and in control.  We'll help you to look your best, even when you don't feel your best.  - Kelly Robertson, Co-Founder

"Our workshops, classes and one-on-one training is never at a hospital or in a medical setting like other cosmetic training programs we know of."

We Know That You'll Love What We Do, As Much As We Love What We Do. Familiar with the physical and emotional effects of chemotherapy, radiation, Alopecia (AA) and Trichotillomania (TTM), we can't wait to show you how to look great and feel better inside and out through the magic of semi-permanent cosmetics. We teach make-up application to small groups; you can come to us or we can come to you for private, one-on-one instruction.

Our Services Are Always Free.  Being a part of your healing comes right from our heart, and it's truly an honor for us to bring our services to you. After we meet with you, we hope you make our good-for-you products and fun instruction a part of your daily routine and will "pay it forward " by telling others about us. We love our work and you can read a little about the goals and founders of ChemoDiva here.

Our Network Is Huge. If you're not located in Southern California, we can refer you to a skin care and cosmetic specialist from just about anywhere in the United States, and we're sure there's someone close to you. We also have specialists throughout Canada and Australia so if you're up North or Down Under, please feel free to contact us and we'll get a referral to you.

Everyone In  Our Group Is A Dedicated Professional. All specialists are experienced in cosmetics and skin care and know a lot about our products and how to use them properly for long-lasting results. We have cancer survivors among us and many who have experience with AA and TTM.  Everyone understands the physical and emotional challenges of hair loss and they are looking forward to showing you how to enhance what you have (or don't have!) with semi-permanent cosmetics that stay on all day. Spending time with you and showing you proper skin care and make-up application is a gift to us --  We Love to Make Faces! 


  "Never Underestimate the Impact of Appearance On How one Feels"  


We're looking forward to showing you how to properly apply your make-up so you can enhance your hidden features and correct any permanent or temporary issues like faint eyebrows and sparse or missing eyelashes. The products we use and recommend are semi-permanent and last all day, no kidding.

We Don't Apply The Make-Up For You, We Do It With You.  This way, when you're on your own, you can look in the mirror and duplicate what you learned. We'll show you how to even out your skin tone so you look rested and refreshed (even if you're not really rested or refreshed), and you'll learn why make-up application with brushes and facial sponges are best, gentle on sensitive skin. You're sure to learn a little about color and may even discover a new look. We never, ever provide any service at a hospital or medical office/medical setting!

Your Skin and Lips 

If You've Never Taken Good Care Of Your Skin, Now Is The Perfect Time
If you're currently involved or have been involved in chemotherapy and/or radiation, your skin and lips may feel very dry due to the drugs interfering with oil production. It's important to keep your skin and lips hydrated and moist to prevent cracking, chapping and the possibility of infection. Plus, dry skin is uncomfortable! Of course, we want you to go with what your doctor(s) recommend, however, we've had outstanding results with SeneGence products and have never received any negative feedback from any doctors we've communicated with.  As a matter-of-fact, we'be only heard positive feedback about our products!

We Recommend Skin Care Products That Are So Amazing, Their Formulation Is Patented. These products contain a moisturizing and hydrating formula of vitamins, marine algae, botanicals and oils which not only lubricate the skin but also encourage new cellular growth. And, you're assured of their safety since they're all FDA approved. There is no animal testing ever, products are Patented at the ingredient level and we don't waste money or trees from the environment on boxes and fancy packaging. 

Our Lips Products, called LipSense, Contains Rich, Soothing And Moisturizing Shea Butter. Did you know that Shea Butter is used in hospitals to heal burn victims because of its healing properties? Just imagine what that can do for you! By the way, results are the immediately noticable, smooth, moist, supple lips.

Hair Loss 

If your hair loss is temporary, we know of a shampoo and conditioner that actually stimulates new cellular growth.  The company that manufactures it is so confident it will work, it comes with a money-back guarantee. It smells great (not like medicine) and as with all the products we recommend, a little goes a long way so it's economical to use.

Demi-Lashes (Cluster Lashes) & Falsh Eyelashes

If you have sparse eyelashes, you may be a great candidate for demi-lashes (cluster lashes). We are trained in eyelash tinting and perming, and most of us also know how to apply demi-lashes to make your existing lashes look fuller. Demi's are great for just about anyone and with a little care and instruction, should last quite awhile. As with everything we do, we'll show you how to apply the lashes yourself so you can duplicate the beauty treatment at home. Contact Kelly for more information and be sure to check out the fantastic Tutuorial written by our friend, Kate Dearn, who owns a salon in the UK.  We've also posted a great little video by a professional make-up artist here in the LA area -click here to view it.

Your Face, Your Complexion

Cancer-killing drugs often leaves dark circles under the eyes, patchy and uneven skin tone and dark spots.  Let us show you how easy it is to hide these imperfections quickly with a little concealer, some foundation and a sponge or a brush - voilà!

Recommended Resources

Check out our Resources where we've got some great recommendations for permanent make-up artists, eyelash extension specialists and shops with beautiful, high quality wigs. We've also provided links to health-care providers that can assist you with a holistic approach to your healing and well-being.  Although many of our resources are located near us here in Southern California, we encourage you to contact them directly to find out how their method of practice affects you and your current situation and perhaps they will have a referral near you.

All resources are personally personally known by us, and we can attest to their professionalism and experience because we've done business with all of them.  If you have a great recommendation, send us an email with their info and your testimonial and we'll consider adding them to our listing.
