Find answers to common questions about our training programs, beauty services, and more.
Is permanent makeup painful?
Discomfort levels vary by individual and treatment area. Most clients describe the sensation as mild to moderate. Topical numbing agents are used to support comfort throughout the procedure.
What is the healing process like?
Healing varies by service but generally includes mild redness, swelling, and flaking in the days following treatment. Full healing and pigment settling can take several weeks. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided to support safe healing and optimal results.
Do I need a consultation before booking?
Yes. A consultation is required for all permanent makeup services. During the consultation, we review goals, skin type, medical history, expectations, and required consent forms to determine whether permanent cosmetic tattooing is appropriate.
Is permanent makeup the same as cosmetic tattooing?
Permanent makeup is a type of permanent cosmetic tattooing designed specifically for facial features such as brows, lips, and eyeliner. Unlike traditional body tattoos, cosmetic tattoo procedures use specialized pigments and techniques intended to fade gradually over time.
Who is a good candidate for permanent makeup?
Ideal candidates are individuals seeking long-term cosmetic enhancement and who meet health and skin suitability requirements. Not all skin types or medical conditions are appropriate for permanent cosmetic tattooing, which is why a consultation is required.
