Britt Steel

Senior permanent makeup artist, Fine Line Tattoo Artist, Trainer & Owner

Valley Roots Studio is owned and operated by Britt Steel. Britt is 12x certified and proudly established her business in 2018.

Britt is passionate about brows, and believes they are the accentuating feature of every face. She specializes in a variety of brow styles, from the super-natural look of microblading, to the bold makeup look brought to you by shading. At Valley Roots Studio, brows are never free-handed, nor is the same stencil used on every face. Instead Britt uses a special measuring technique called the “golden ratio” to create custom brows that match your personal style and suit your facial features.

She is also certified in permanent eyeliner, lip blush, freckles, fine line tattoos, and microrealism. Britt takes hygiene and sanitation seriously. She is Blood Borne Pathogen certified, insured, and only uses disposable tools.

Outside of work, Britt loves being with her family! Together they cook, garden, camp, and ride motorcycles. All of Britt’s remaining free time is spent perfecting her tattooing techniques and growing the business.
