Fully AAM certified
100% custom procedures
Born with a passion for drawing and design, she pursued her degree in Visual Arts back in 1997 and worked for years as a creative, always finding beauty in the unique lines of every face. But it wasn’t until she discovered the world of Permanent Makeup that everything clicked.
Through micropigmentation, Cristina found a way to combine technical skill with emotional transformation. What began as an interest quickly became a calling one that led her to mentor dozens of aspiring artists, teach workshops, and become a Platinum-Certified Instructor through the American Academy of Micropigmentation (AAM).
Today, Aleti Academy is her way of offering the one thing she never found in traditional beauty clinics: true personalization and honest artistry.
At Aleti Academy, we’re not in the business of changing faces, we’re here to help people see the beauty that’s already there. Our mission is to create a safe, ethical, and empowering space where beauty feels personal, not performative.
What we believe:
so every procedure must be, too.
our tools are 100% disposable and our space is fully licensed.
Cristina teaches everything she knows.
and we don’t follow trends blindly.
and that means taking time, listening deeply, and doing it right.
Located in the heart of Ironbound Newark, our studio is clean, calm, and designed to make you feel welcome. We serve clients in English, Portuguese, and Spanish and offer a private, inclusive space where everyone is treated with respect and care.
Fully licensed and insured | AAM-certified | Single-use, sterile tools | Street parking (free and paid) available
Instead, we map each face using professional morphology, design shapes by hand, and choose pigments that complement — not overpower — your features. Every stroke has purpose. Every line has balance.
We believe in authenticity over artificial and results that last not just in your skin, but in how you feel.
We’d love to hear your story and help you write a new one.
