MEET SAMANTHA AND MIKE

Owners & Artists

Hi there! We’re Samantha and Mike — husband and wife, artists, and the duo behind The Micro Clinics.

Samantha began her journey in permanent cosmetics back in 2019 and went all in to create The Micro Brow — the company that started it all. Before becoming a cosmetic artist and business owner, she was a stay-at-home mom and part-time server with a lifelong creative streak and an entrepreneurial spirit. Growing up in Okinawa, Japan until the age of 10, she’s always had an appreciation for art, culture, and detail. After years of battling the curse of the early 2000s (thin, overplucked brows — we’ve all been there), she discovered permanent makeup and instantly knew she’d found her calling.

Mike joined the cosmetic industry in 2020 after seeing Samantha’s passion and the transformations she created every day. After seven years in real estate, he decided to take a leap and founded The Micro Fade, specializing in Scalp Micropigmentation. A Florida native who grew up just outside of Tampa, Mike brings precision, patience, and a calm energy to every client — which honestly might come from raising four daughters… talk about training for pressure situations!

Together, we built The Micro Clinics — a space that blends artistry, confidence, and connection.

When we’re not at the studio, you can usually find us chasing around our four daughters (some say “poor husband,” but really… poor mom — teenage girls are scary!). We spend our weekends on the soccer fields, exploring the outdoors, and soaking up the Florida sunshine at the beach. Mike’s usually dominating a game of cornhole (he’s annoyingly good at every sport he tries), and Samantha’s probably in a tattoo chair somewhere, because for some reason she finds it oddly relaxing.

We’re so glad you’re here, and we can’t wait to get to know you during your visit!

With love,

The Nigro Family
