Our Story

Our Story

Founded by combat veteran Mihyon D. Cha, ISPMU was born from a story of resilience, passion, and an unwavering belief in the power of self-reinvention. After years of dedicated service, Mihyon discovered the transformative art of permanent makeup—a skill that not only reshaped her life but became her calling to uplift others. Today, alongside visionary CEO Jina Park-Cha, ISPMU stands as the only BPSS- and NYS DOE-licensed Private Career School for Permanent Makeup in New York City.
