WHAT IS PERMANENT MAKEUP?
Permanent makeup is a cosmetic technique which employs tattoos (permanent pigmentation of the dermis) as a means of producing designs that resemble makeup, such as permanent enhancing colors to the skin of the Eyebrows, lips, eyes, and or facial area
HOW DO I BOOK?
My BOOKING TAB is located on my home page and my social media accounts. Once you click to book you will put a $50 deposit via square going toward your appointment slot. PRIOR to any cover up work you must email me clear photos of your old permanent makeup before booking. EMAIL:
CAN I BE REFUNDED MY DEPOSIT? Or Reschedule?
You are allowed ONE reschedule, I must be notified by text or email 72 hr+ prior to your apt. Your new appointment must be selected within 24hr to move your date with the same deposit. There are NO Refunds on booking deposits. This holds your spot and reserves my time. It could've been someone else time slot. PLEASE NOTE, IF you show up your deposit does go toward your total cost :). Also No refunds whatsoever after service has been provided
IS IT PAINFUL?
Relax pain is minimal. Gel anesthetic is used throughout your procedure for comfort. Most clients say pain is 2/10 or 3/10. I'm a light handed artist. For lips I also a topical numbing for extra comfort.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
Depending on which procedure you choose, most take 2+hours.
HOW LONG DOES PERMANENT MAKEUP EVEN LAST?
That all depends on your skin type, and how well you follow your after care. ALL skin types vary. Permanent makeup can last anywhere between 18 months to multiple years. On all services your 6-8 week and annual touch ups are recommended to book for any perfecting of the permanent makeup and longer lasting retention. Your daily life activities and skin type will determine how often you will be getting touch ups.
WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE WHEN HEALED?
BROWS heal like a soft yet defined "powder effect".
20-30% lighter than the fresh tattoo.
LIPS heal 40-50% lighter than the fresh tattoo like a "lip stain".You must follow your aftercare to heal as expected.
IS THIS PROCEDURE SAFE?
YES, 100 PERCENT. I'm certified through SNHD and follow all health regulations.
DO YOU DO CONSULTATIONS?
I DO NOT do in person consultation appointments. The first 30-40 minutes of your appointment is a consultation. If you decided to not go through with your tattoo you would forefit your deposit, like a consultation. But if you have any questions you can email or direct message me. IF YOU ARE A COVER UP, IT IS REQUIRED YOU EMAIL ME PHOTOS PRIOR TO BOOKING AN APPOINTMENT, it is possible that I decline service and suggest removal to lighten your old permanent makeup.
HOW DO I SELECT A COLOR?
For brows I color match the root of your hair color or brow hair color.
For lips you may bring in your favorite lip pencil, or lip stick. My color selection has a wide variety, I color mix until we get something near your target color goal. It's best to go brighter at first for your lips since they heal 40-50 % softer.
DO YOU ACCEPT PAYMENT PLANS/ CHECKS/ CARE CREDIT?
No, I do not. Cash/ debit/ major credit cards are accepted. Cash preferred. Credit cards will have a $15 processing fee, thank you.
ARE TOUCH UPS INCLUDED?
No, they are a separate service, sold separately.At 8 weeks.
WHAT IF YOU GET FILLER/ INJECTIONS? CAN YOU STILL GET PERMANENT MAKEUP?
Yes you can. If you have new botox it is best to wait 6 weeks until its settled before getting permanent makeup or get permanent makeup first with healing time of 10 days then go get injectables. If you get lip filler its also best to tattoo first or you need to wait 6 weeks before booking your permanent makeup. Thank you.
WHAT IF I AM PRONE TO COLD SORES?
For LIP BLUSH the above Pre care still takes place.
If you are PRONE TO COLD SORES. You may need to consult with your doctor before booking. Tattooing your lips will most likely cause a breakout ( 99%) chance. Breakouts can cause infection, scarring, pigment loss, etc.. You can still get tattooed with proper pre care and a consult with your physician prior.
