Is it painful?

Everybody has a different level of pain tolerance but most clients are completely comfortable and  relaxed during their appointment. I use appropriate topical anesthetics for each procedure, and strive to make sure you are as comfortable and relaxed as possible throughout your entire appointment.

By law every procedure I offer is considered permanent. However, without proper care and touch-ups, your permanent makeup can and will likely fade over time. I will recommend after care and retouches specific to your technique and procedure to keep your investment top notch and you worry free!

 Many different factors play a role in the lifespan of implanted pigment in the skin.  Client skin type, aftercare, and lifestyle play a huge role in the longevity and the general outcome of the procedure.  Darker pigments tend to last longer, while lighter tend to fade sooner.  Proper UVA/UVB protection will  prevent color from fading as quickly. Aggressive skin treatments such as laser, chemical peel, anti aging treatments, dermabrasion etc. will expedite the fading of your permanent cosmetics. Touch ups will be recommended based on your technique and skin type to keep your permanent cosmetics looking their best! In general, a touch up/color boost is recommended every 1-3 years. 

You are more than welcome to consult with your physician about this. If necessary with your prescribed medication, please plan for someone to drive you after your procedure. 

 No.  Permanent cosmetic procedures are not safe for women who are  pregnant or nursing.   Due to hormonal changes in the body, you may have undesirable results and outcomes with permanent makeup while pregnant or nursing. 

For each client I use a new, pre-packaged, sterilized, single use needle cartridge and/or microblade.  I will always open these at your appointment for you to observe. On  completion of the treatment, the needles are placed into a sharps  container and then disposed of properly.  

Consultations are scheduled to allow for 30 minutes. All procedures are scheduled to allow up to 3 hours to ensure I have ample time to measure, map and perfect your predraw,  properly numb the procedure area and to perform the actual procedure.

While the choice is yours, it is 100% recommended. Your permanent cosmetics is an investment, and the perfecting appointment is vital to lock in color and truly perfect your procedure. This appointment will ensure the best possible outcome for your permanent cosmetics!

For all permanent cosmetics, color may appear uneven at different stages of healing. You may think 'it's too light' or 'it's too dark' during the healing process. Be patient, this is a process that does not yield your final result immediately. As your skin heals, you will see full results in 4-6 weeks. Permanent makeup is  two step process.  It's very important to return for your perfecting appointment to truly seal the deal!

Nope! I do all the work! I will ask you at times to slightly lean your head to one side or the other so that I have the optimal vantage point, but you will not be asked to hold your mouth, eyebrows or eyes in any odd configuration during the procedure. In fact, you can relax with your eyes closed during the entire procedure if you like!

With proper aftercare and time appropriate touch ups, we can keep you looking your best indefinitely! However, if you choose not to return for touch ups, and/or deviate from the after care instructions, your permanent cosmetics will likely fade prematurely and/or discolor. I urge you to read over the aftercare section for the desired procedure ahead of scheduling so you will know what I will ask of you in order for your permanent cosmetics to heal properly.
