FAQ's
Why permanent cosmetics?
This does save you time and money in the long run! It is great for athletic people, people with poor eyesight, people with allergies and people with oily skin. There is no smudging, smearing or running of makeup, makeup looks fresh all day!
Is it painful?
With the use of a topical, the discomfort is greatly reduced. Most people describe it as irritating rather than painful.
How long does it take to heal?
Healing time is dependant on your dillegance to after care (provided to you) and your body's own abilities to heal. Generally it is from 4-10 days with full results in 2-4 weeks.
How often will I have to redo it?
Your new permanent cosmetics will last a lifetime. Generally the lighter and more natural you have it, the more likely you will want to periodically freshen up the colour (any where from 1-7 yrs). The darker and more dramatic, the less you will notice fading. The softening of colour that is associated with tattoos is sometimes very desirable with cosmetics, and the muting is a nice look without ever touching it up. Hot sunny climates will require touch ups sooner compared to rainy or winter climates. You will want to avoid skin peeling products such as retin-A or micro-abrasion directly over tattooed areas and I highly recommend the use of sunscreen to help maintain your colour.
How long does the procedure take?
The initial consultation takes approximately 30 minutes and the procedures vary from 1 1/2 hr to 3 hrs.
How do you choose colour?
We base on personal taste and colour of eyebrow hair (not colour of hair on your head). We also harmonize it to your skin tone and natural colouring.
Can I wear makeup over my permanent cosmetics?
After the initial healing, by all means! It is entirely a personal choice.
