Permanent makeup should feel clear before it feels exciting. Here are the most common questions we get. If you don’t see yours, contact us, and we’ll help.
Getting Started
Q: What is permanent makeup?
A: Permanent makeup is a cosmetic tattoo service designed to enhance your natural features. For brows, it can add definition, balance, and structure with a soft healed finish, without daily makeup. The goal is natural-looking, not “stamped on.”
Q: Who is a good candidate for permanent makeup?
A: Anyone wanting more consistent brow shape or definition is a good candidate, especially if brows are thinning or uneven. Skin type, lifestyle, and existing work matter, so we’ll guide you toward the safest option for your goals.
Q: How do I book an appointment?
A: Use our online booking page to select your service and appointment time. If you’re unsure what to choose, start with a consultation, and we’ll help you decide.
Comfort & Healing
Q: Is it painful?
A: Most clients describe it as manageable. We work in a calm, controlled way to support comfort throughout the appointment. Numbing products are used before and during the service to ensure your comfort.
Q: How long is the healing process?
A: Healing happens in stages. Brows often look stronger at first, then soften as they settle into a healed finish over the following weeks. A touch-up may be recommended depending on healing and skin type.
Q: Are there any risks or side effects?
A: Temporary redness, sensitivity, and mild swelling can happen, especially on the first day. Following aftercare helps support a smooth heal. If you have a medical condition, allergies, or previous cosmetic tattooing, we may recommend a consultation first.
Results & Maintenance
Q: How long does permanent makeup last?
A: Results are designed to fade gradually over time. Longevity varies by skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, and skincare. Many clients choose periodic refreshes to maintain softness and shape.
Q: Do you offer touch-ups?
A: Yes. Touch-ups and refresh appointments are available for returning clients, and we also offer touch-ups for new clients with previous work—consultation required.
Products & Studio Policies
Q: What’s in the pigments you use, are they safe?
A: We use professional cosmetic tattoo pigments selected for your skin tone and desired healed finish. Pigment choice is part of the customization process. If you have sensitivities or concerns, we can discuss options during a consultation.
Q: How should I prepare for my appointment?
A: You’ll receive pre-appointment instructions after booking. If you have any medical considerations, medications, or previous brow work, let us know ahead of time so we can advise appropriately.
Q: Do I need to tip?
A: This is a “no-tip” studio. The best thank-you is referring a friend or leaving a review if you love your results.
