Owned by Dr. Linda Dixon, a pioneer in the Permanent Makeup Industry with her inventions, since 1996. The pain was real. Anything was an improvement!
The Story of Microsource (Kolorsource LLC)- by Dr. Linda Dixon
My passion for cosmetic tattooing started in 1979 on the beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii. I was a young lady doctor and mother of six children, three of my own and three whose own mother had died. Allergic to eye makeup, it seemed like a good idea to have a tattoo artist tattoo on my eyeliner. I walked from the beachfront across the street to Skin Deep tattoo parlor and asked the slender, dark-haired lady if she would tattoo eyeliner. I’ll never forget the look of surprise and disbelief in her eyes as she replied “What? Why I’ve never heard of such of a thing!” I told her that if she could tattoo a line on the body then she could tattoo a line around my eyes. She warned me that it would hurt and I promised to sit still while she attempted her first “eye” line. My eyes were swollen shut for the next three days and I had a barely visible blue/black color when finally healed. Yet, I was euphoric to have makeup that wouldn’t wash off. At the time I thought about how nice it would be to have something to control the pain. Fast forward to 1991 when I again had my eyeliner and lips done for $1500 by a “makeup artist”. The pain was excruciating, my lips were swollen to twice their normal size and I ended up with no color and never went back for a touchup. She was using a 20% Lidocaine cherry flavored liquid from Mexico. But shortly after that I learned about a new topical anesthetic named EMLA® so I was relieved to not have to worry about making anything myself. Or so I thought. Long story short, I bought two tattoo machines from two brothers in New York in 1991 and tattooed a flower on my daughter’s ankle and my son’s name on his ankle. Then, in 1995, I met Helen Snow in Phoenix, Arizona and she referred me to Dr. Kristanne Matzek of California for training in permanent makeup (micropigmentation). That took
place in a hotel in Honolulu for two days. I left with a 100% score on my exam and a banana with eyebrows scrawled on as best I could “freehand” them. I only placed a few dots on human skin. Boy was I in for a surprise when I actually tried to do eyeliner on a human being. My volunteers were in agony and I didn’t have anything to help them. After intense research I developed a topical anesthetic cream known as DOTC Blue and shared it with other professionals at a conference. I’ve never looked back. With the invaluable help of Tom Bethune, we developed TAG 45 Gel, Numquick Pink Original Cream, NumQuick Spray and Gel, Numpot Ointment, NumFast Green Cream, Microcaine® Eye-Safe pH 7.5 (same pH as tears), Liprotek7, Healquick, Comfort Créme and others to mention a few. In 2000, my curiosity led to the study and development of needles just for cosmetic tattooing, now known as Velvet Needles®. In 1996 I began researching pigment chemistry and physics and produced our first colors Blackjack, Licorice, Bubblegum and Blooper. In 2003, I began formulating pigments, known as Kolorsource Brand pigments, in an effort to help my girlfriend, Helen Snow, who was recovering from a second bout with ovarian cancer. She’s doing fine as of today.

***PHONES ARE DOWN IN HAWAII***
Hello fabulous customers! Please be patient as we navigate one of the biggest storms we have seen in a while to hit Dr. Dixon's side of Hawaii. ❗️Currently we are not able to get through due to failed power and phone towers/lines - we also have customers out there, if anyone knows anyone in Kailua, Hawaii or Honolulu that could give us an update, we would greatly appreciate it❗️ The last contact we had with them was earlier this morning and Dr. Dixon had stated that they would be out of power for up to 2-3 days due to a fire at the plant and it was still raining and storming.
Regardless - orders will be shipped regularly from Unit Dose for our topical anesthetics, and all other orders will be shipped from our Mississippi location, ☎️ however phones will be down until we can get through to our HQ (HAWAII) but our websites are still up and shipping department is still running, just no phone orders until we can get our Hawaii office back up.
Please email [email protected] for questions!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE! I pray everyone is safe and that we can get service up there soon :)
