Christa Nordquist
owner/artist/trainer

Hi, I’m Christa – and I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m the artist, educator, and owner behind Browhaus Tulsa, Oklahoma’s top destination for permanent makeup and professional training. My greatest passion in life is my family—my husband of over seven years and our two wild, sweet boys, ages 9 and 4. Right behind them is my mission to help people feel confident and empowered through the art of PMU.

I started my beauty career in 2013 as a licensed esthetician, opening my own salon straight out of school and specializing in brow shaping, tinting, and waxing. But everything changed when I discovered permanent makeup. I quickly fell in love with the impact it had on women’s confidence and made the decision to sell my salon and go all in.

Since then, I’ve spent the past 9+ years building a thriving career in permanent cosmetics, known for my ultra-natural, skin-conscious approach. My work is soft, subtle, and enhances your natural beauty in a way that never looks obvious—because the best compliments come when people can’t tell you’ve had anything done at all.

Beyond my work with clients, I’m also incredibly passionate about training the next generation of artists. I’m an OSDH-certified instructor in Medical Micropigmentation, and I’ve proudly trained over 50 students through my comprehensive fundamentals program—more than any other educator in the state. With Oklahoma being the only state that requires 300 hours, 18 models, and a state exam under an MD, DO, or DDS, I know how important proper education is. I’m honored to be the go-to PMU academy for aspiring artists in Oklahoma and beyond.

In 2025, I was selected to represent the United States as a judge at WULOP Vietnam, one of the world’s most prestigious PMU competitions and conferences—a career highlight that reflects my deep commitment to this industry and its growth.

At Browhaus Tulsa, we’re proud to offer cutting-edge techniques, stunning healed results, and a training experience that sets the bar. If you’re considering PMU, we’d love to meet you for a complimentary consultation. And if you’re dreaming of becoming an artist yourself, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Dana Dawson
artist/ browhaus graduate

Hi, I’m Dana. I’m a licensed permanent makeup artist and esthetician in Oklahoma. I’m also a wife and two sweet little boys call me momma. After graduating from the University of Oklahoma longer ago than I care to admit, I worked in marketing for more than a decade before deciding to dramatically change career paths. I have always been a creative soul with an eye for making things beautiful, whether that be interior design, organization, graphic design, or makeup. After leaving the corporate world, I spent a few years working in a spa on the business side before deciding to move to the service side as an esthetician and along the way decided to train and get my license in medical micropigmentation as well. Turns out, this is the most fun outlet for me and I fell in love with this industry! Beyond my initial training, I’ve completed additional specialized courses in hyper-realistic microblading, color theory, and lip blushing techniques. I’m so excited to further develop my craft and continue to make a positive impact in the lives of my clients, which is by far the most satisfying and rewarding part of this work.
