Grandma Helen’s purse and beret creation modeled by Dr. Dawn
Dawn Hunter DC ME PMUis an artist first, with a lineage of great artists like her grandmother Helen.
“Grandma had a house filled with her artwork, from paintings to the clothes she crafted from scratch. She would make us do “drills,” and her favorite was to have us draw roses. I remember many times wanting to play outside and Grandma would say, ‘Draw the roses, then you play.’ I bring that same level of discipline, skills, and fun to VINE Academy.“- Dawn
I started my journey wanting to be a tattoo artist but back then it wasn’t something my mum would allow. I moved into media and then after a ski accident that hurt my neck found a love of Natural Chiropractic services so earned my Chiropractic Doctor degree. Finding a passion in Medical Esthetics I sold the practice an moved fully into the medical beauty cosmetics arena working with plastic surgeons, lasers and building our own medspas. It was such a learning experience and along theway I found Permanent Cosmetics. That was the final topper for me. Full Circle.
Treating Scar and Trauma clients became a passion of mine blending laser, microneedle and pigmentation I learned about advanced scar treatment and my background in Chiropractic training gave me more insight into the physiology of skin, wound healing and nutrients. I use my Chiropractic education to support more deeper fundamental education for PMU artist and Esthetician to provide more science based training and indepth understanding of the body areas we work on.
In Chiropractic college we held every part of thehuman body in our hands, years of anatomy, physiology and seeing “inside the skin” really gave me a fantastic foundation that I wanted to share with my students.
They clearly know that learning more is empowering. We also define that we are not teaching or practicing Chiropractic and that they call me “Dr Dawn” as a nickname but I am clear what my title is every stepof the way.
I tell my students do what you are empowered to do, meaning don’t overstep your skills until they are safe and ethical practice with your clients.

I went to Vine Academy for the full fundamentals course learning how to tattoo basic lips, eyeliner, fusion brows, and microblading. I love how Dawn not only teaches how to work on the skin, but teaches you what’s going on with the skin in every area you’re learning about. Dawn is very direct, honest, and funny. Will definitely be returning for more classes as I progress!
PMU/microblading training at Vine was amazing! Dawn was able to pack in so much important information in 5 days. I loved the pace and flow of information with the amount of hands on work and her demos on live models. Can’t wait to take all the advanced classes. Highlyyyyy recommend!! If you’re on the fence it’s absolutely worth the investment.
