Permanent Makeup
What is the process for getting Permanent Makeup?
1. All of our permanent makeup services start with a consultation. This can be scheduled prior to, or on the same day as your service. During your consult, both design and color choices are discussed, and photographs will be taken for review. You will be given paperwork and the chance to ask any questions you may have. We block 30 minutes for this appointment.
2. Service appointments are scheduled in 2 hour blocks. This allows time to review your paperwork, apply topical numbing creams and do a pre-draw of the design. Then onto the application, where we strive to keep you comfortable and informed throughout. When the service is complete, we take photos, share your aftercare instructions and schedule your follow up appointment.
3. Touch-up appointments take place 4-6 weeks after your initial service. During this appointment we refine and perfect the look. Everyone heals differently - based on lifestyle, skin type, and other variables. A touchup is necessary to address these variations and add balance where needed. An hour is blocked for this appointment.
