DIANA
I am Diana Schaumburg, CEO of Pure Ink Scalp Micropigmentation, and I was born and raised in San Diego, California. Since high school, I have been insecure about my thinning hair; when a boyfriend asked me, “what is wrong with your hair?” I understand how traumatizing hair loss can be and have found a way to overcome my insecurities and help others overcome theirs.
I graduated from Southwestern College with an AA in Business Administration but quickly realized that I preferred to work with my hands, so I transitioned into the dental field. After graduating from a rigorous and extensive dental hygiene program, I continued my education by earning my BA in Business Management at SDSU while working full time as a dental hygienist. During my 18 years in the dental field, I became an expert at performing sensitive procedures that require complete attention to detail. Because I worked with high anxiety patients, I gained a deep awareness of their comfort level and learned how to alleviate their fears. I took pride in providing a safe and private environment to improve my patients’ health and self-confidence. After so many years in the dental field, I realized it was time to take what I learned and apply it to my other passions.
In 2016, I discovered the world of permanent makeup (PMU) and quickly fell in love with scalp micropigmentation (SMP). In 2017 I trained with one of the top PMU artists in Los Angeles County for PMU and SMP. To expand my knowledge and perfect my skills, I took an additional SMP course from one of the world’s leading scalp micropigmentation academies, ICCON International. I pride myself on being a lifelong student by continuously taking classes and attending seminars to further my growth as an artist.
I am a perfectionist and always go above and beyond to serve my clients while making them feel comfortable through the entire process. My long-term goal is to become an educator and use my years of experience to help other aspiring SMP artist expand their knowledge and perfect their skills.
