Semi permanent make up does not go as deep into the skin as a tattoo does.The equipment used is of finer quality for use on the sensitive areas of the face, and a topical anaesthetic is also applied, which makes the procedure more comfortable.

Most people are suitable for some form of Semi Permanent makeup.Cosmetic tattooing is suitable for all ethnicities. I have an excellent understanding of skin analysis, skin tones and colour theory which enables me to carry out Semi Permanent Makeup procedures on almost any skin type.

Research a potential technician, evaluate their portfolio and read real client reviews. Ask technicians where they were trained and what certifications they have. Scheduling a consultation with your potential artist is highly recommended.

No I will work with your natural brow hair, this way it enhances your natural look.You do not need to pluck or shave hairs prior to the procedure. I recommend that you don’t pluck for at least 5 days prior to treatment so that the pigment doesn’t migrate into the hair follicle pores.

Yes, Semi Permanent Makeup will not interfere with your natural hair growth so you will still need to tweeze stray hairs. However, I would advise to avoid tweezing for approximately 5 days prior to the brow procedure, otherwise pigment can migrate into spots left by the plucked hair follicle.

Yes, the colours used are all individually mixed according to your personal requirements and skin type. The shape is drawn on and measured beforehand so you can see exactly what it will look like before any tattooing takes place. We will not start any treatment until you are totally happy with the chosen colour and shape. We work together on creating your desired look.

The initial appointment generally takes two hours. Follow-up (2nd session) appointment takes about an hour and a half.

1. Consultation with the artistIn the beginning, it is important to choose the color of the pigment, as well as the shape of PM. The client can ask all the questions and tell what flaws need to be covered during the consultation. The artist will tell you how the skin will heal and how to take care of it.2. Preparing a sketchThe artist draws a marking on the skin with a special pencil or pen. Sketching depends entirely on the shape of the client’s face and is completely individual. NO templates! After the first sketch is done, the client determines whether they like it or not. At this stage, you can still make adjustments, change the shape and choose a color.3. PreparationAt this stage, the artist prepares the equipment for work. It must be stored in a strong envelope: after each use, it must go through several stages of disinfecting. Needles are single-use tools. Also at this stage, the artist prepares the pigment, making an individual mix if necessary.4. AnesthesiaSince nerve endings react during the procedure, we can apply an anesthetic cream beforehand. It is applied in a thin layer with a special brush inside the borders of the sketch, then we leave it for 10–15 minutes so that it starts to work. The second time an anesthesia solution is applied to the damaged skin during the work.5. Applying a pigmentIt is important to trust the artist and relax. During the procedure, the client lies on the couch, and it is possible to put a roller under the back and neck for convenience.6. CorrectionThis is a separate procedure, which can be done 30–45 days later but no later than 3 months after the main PM. The pigment may partially wear off during skin recovery. The artist additionally injects a pigment to remove all the shortcomings during the correction. It takes 1.5 hours

This will give you an opportunity to meet me and discuss your expectations regarding your procedure and any features you may wish to correct or balance. We will discuss your wishes and what look you would like, and also what is realistic and what can be achieved. We will explore with you which treatments will best enhance your natural features and from this discussion I will be able to recommend the specific treatments that will best achieve the effect that you are looking for. The consultation is one to one as it is of the most importance that you feel comfortable with me and are able to ask any questions or discuss any worries you may have. YOU SHOULD NEVER LET SOMEONE TATTOO YOUR FACE THAT YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH.You may also request a patch test at this point to make sure that you are not allergic to the pigments or anesthetics should you wish to go ahead with the treatment.

During the healing process, skin will form scabs and appear darker or brighter the first week after the procedure. Taking care of scabs will be a number one priority since they protect pigment while the skin is healing. Following aftercare instructions during the healing process is a must.

Recovery time is minimal. You can carry on with your normal everyday life immediately. You will be given an aftercare kit and instructions to follow after your procedure and you can expect the colour to be 70% darker immediately after the procedure. You may also experience a slight minimal swelling especially on eyeliner procedures as the skin is very thin in this area. This will only last a day or two, then the exfoliation process will begin with the treated area flaking to reveal a lighter and more natural colour underneath which is less bold with a reduction in width as well as depth of colour.In many cases the client may wish to go darker on their next top up appointment, but it is always best to go lighter on the first procedure, as it is easier to add more colour than to remove it.

Immediately after the treatment the colour will look 70% darker initially but will lighten down to the desired shade within 5-7 days. The healed colour is different from the colour that is initially placed into the skin.Your Semi Permanent makeup will never be too dark for you because we test the colour on the skin first so you can see how it will look once it has healed.We also err on the side of caution and intentionally apply the colour too lightly in the first session and then go slightly darker in the second. It is easier to add more colour than to take away.

Most clients need 2-3 sessions to achieve the desired look depending on PMU zone and client’s case.

You will have to wait a minimium of 4 weeks to allow the pigment to heal into the skin, but the follow up appointment should be done within a maximium of 12 weeks, so that we can perfect any uneveness or patches depending how well the pigment has healed into the skin

No it doesn’t matter if you have either of these. However, I would not perform a Semi Permanent Makeup procedure on someone who has had, or is going to have either of these within 6 weeks of the Botox or fillers as there is a risk of the Semi Permanent Makeup being placed in the wrong place as a result.

Yes. You can choose from a wide range of colors that can be lightened or darkened according to your preferences. If you're unsure about the color you'd like to use, talk with your technician. Learning how to choose the right colors is an integral part of any aesthetic professional training.

Many women with sensitive eyes choose permanent makeup as an alternate to the eye irritation caused by traditional cosmetics. If you have very sensitive skin, an initial patch test may be necessary.

Corrections can be pricey. Remember, it’s your responsibility to make sure you choose a professional who is licensed and insured to practice in your state.

Permanent Make up usually lasts between 1-3 years, which varies with each individual person. Pigments fade overtime, but depends on several factors, including your age, skin type, lifestyle, general health, if you are taking medication, and the main factor, exposure to external elements, especially UV rays from sun exposure or tanning beds. Over exposure to the sun will cause your Semi Permanent Makeup to fade more quickly, as the sun causes the skin cells to break down and disperse and so the pigments disperse with them. The darker colours usually tend to last longer than the lighter colours.I usually recommend a colour boost approximately every 1-2 years to maintain the clarity and definition of your Semi Permanent Makeup to keep it looking really fresh. If pigments are not refreshed, they will fade completely.
