FAQ
Permanent makeup (PMU) is generally safe when performed by a trained and licensed professional using high-quality pigments and sterile equipment. However, individuals with certain medical conditions such as diabetes, lupus, autoimmune disorders, or those with a pacemaker should consult their physician and obtain clearance before booking a procedure.
Allergic reactions to permanent makeup are rare. Most clients with common allergies (food, seasonal, or skin sensitivities) tolerate PMU well. We use medical-grade, vegan, and hypoallergenic pigments. However, some reactions can occur due to metals in pigments, needles, or numbing agents like lidocaine. If you have concerns, consult your doctor prior to booking.
• Ombré Powder Brows: 1–3 years
• Lip Blush: 1–3 years
• Lash Enhancement: 3–5 yearsResults vary depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. A touch-up is recommended every 12–18 months to maintain color and shape.
Pain tolerance varies by individual, but a topical numbing agent is applied to minimize discomfort. Most clients report only mild discomfort during the procedure.
• New clients: 2-3 hours
• Touch-ups: 1–2 hoursThis includes consultation, mapping, and the procedure itself.
• Ombré Powder Brows: ~4 weeks
• Lip Blush: ~6 weeks
• Lash Enhancement: ~6 weeksSurface healing happens sooner, but full healing takes several weeks.
Permanent makeup may not be suitable for individuals who are:
• Under 18 years old
• Pregnant or nursing
• On Accutane (must be off for at least 6 months)
• Undergoing chemotherapy
• Prone to keloid scarring
• Experiencing active skin conditions (eczema, rosacea, dermatitis, shingles)Note: Clients on blood thinners or with diabetes may still qualify with doctor approval but could experience slower healing.
Yes. All pigments used are medical-grade, vegan, and hypoallergenic, designed specifically for cosmetic tattooing.
Nano Brows and Powder Brows are both permanent makeup (PMU) techniques used to enhance the eyebrows, but they create very different results.
• Nano Brows use a machine with an ultra-fine needle to create realistic, hair-like strokes that mimic natural brow hairs.
• Powder Brows (Ombré Brows) use a soft shading technique to create a filled-in, makeup-like effect similar to brow powder or pencil.Nano Brows are more natural and detailed, while Powder Brows provide a more defined and polished look.
Nano Brows are best suited for clients who:
• Have normal to dry skin
• Want a very natural, hair-stroke look
• Have relatively good skin texture with minimal oilinessImportant: Oily skin types may experience blurred or less defined strokes over time, as oil can cause the pigment to expand and fade more quickly.
Powder Brows are ideal for clients who:
• Have oily or acne-prone skin
• Want a soft makeup or filled-in brow look
• Have little to no brow hair
• Prefer longer-lasting and more defined resultsPowder Brows tend to heal more consistently across all skin types, especially oily skin.
Yes, a combination of both techniques (often called Combo Brows) can be used to create hair strokes in the front and soft shading throughout the brow for added depth and definition.
Both Nano Brows and Microblading create hair-like strokes, but the technique and results differ significantly.
• Nano Brows are done using a machine with a fine needle for precise, controlled strokes.
• Microblading is done manually using a blade that cuts into the skin to deposit pigment.No, I do not offer microblading.
Microblading is a more invasive technique that involves cutting into the skin, which can lead to:
• More trauma to the skin
• Increased risk of scarring (especially with repeated sessions)
• Less predictable healing over timeI specialize in Nano Brows because they are less invasive, more controlled, and tend to heal with softer, more natural-looking results.
ano Brows are considered a more advanced technique in the industry. They typically offer:
• More precise and consistent results
• Better healing across different skin types
• Less trauma to the skinFor these reasons, Nano Brows are often preferred for achieving natural, long-lasting hair stroke results.
It’s best to avoid waxing or plucking right before your appointment. Your natural brow hair helps with accurate mapping and shaping. If needed, grooming should be done at least 3 days prior.
Yes, but lip blush can trigger a cold sore outbreak. It’s recommended to:
• Take L-lysine supplements before and after your appointment
• Obtain antiviral medication from your doctor if you are prone to outbreaksIf you have an active cold sore or fever blister, your appointment must be rescheduled for safety reasons.
Yes, but timing matters. PMU should be done at least 4 weeks before or after lip filler treatments.
Yes. PMU should be scheduled at least 4 weeks before or after Botox injections.
You may wear makeup on untreated areas immediately. Avoid applying makeup directly on the treated area until it is fully healed.
• Brows: A&D or Aquaphor ointment
• Lips: A&D ointment or Aquaphor
• Lash Enhancement: Dry healing is recommended (no products unless needed for dryness)Yes, mild swelling and tenderness are normal for up to 24 hours after the procedure.
Yes. Clients with darker lips may require a neutralization process (1–2 sessions) before achieving the desired color. Results vary and are not guaranteed.
Lip blush neutralization is a specialized permanent makeup (PMU) technique used to improve the appearance of dark, uneven, or cool-toned lips. This process uses carefully selected pigments to balance and soften darker tones, helping create a more even and lighter-looking lip base before enhancing color.
Yes. Brows will appear darker immediately after treatment and will soften and lighten by 30–40% during healing.
Light scabbing is normal. Do not pick or scratch. Allow the area to heal naturally to avoid pigment loss or scarring.
Yes, itching is a normal part of the healing process. Avoid scratching and follow aftercare instructions.
Some tenderness is normal for the first few days, but it should gradually subside.
Avoid alcohol 24–48 hours before and after your procedure, as it can thin the blood and affect healing.
Yes, you can arrive with makeup on. It helps us understand your preferences, but it will be removed before the procedure.
Yes. Avoid spicy, oily, salty, and acidic foods for a few days to prevent irritation.
Avoid laser treatments directly over the treated area, as they may affect pigment. Always inform your provider about your PMU.
Ombré Powder Brows are a great option for clients with sparse or no brow hair, creating a soft, filled-in look.
In many cases, yes. Correction or cover-up work depends on the previous pigment, shape, and skin condition. A consultation is required.
You can customize this based on your business—leave or remove if needed.
Pricing reflects quality, experience, and materials. We do not price match, but we ensure high-quality, safe, and professional results.
If you have any active cuts, pimples, irritation, or broken skin on the treatment area (brows or lips), it is best to reschedule your appointment.
Permanent makeup (PMU) should only be performed on healthy, intact skin to ensure proper pigment retention, safe healing, and the best possible results. Working on compromised skin can increase the risk of infection, uneven healing, and poor pigment results.
If you are unsure, please send a photo before your appointment so we can advise you properly.
Yes, permanent makeup (PMU) can often be done over certain types of scars, depending on the age, texture, and condition of the scar tissue.
In many cases, Nano Brows or Powder Brows can help camouflage small scars by blending pigment into the surrounding skin. However, scar tissue does not retain pigment the same way as normal skin, so results may be softer or require additional sessions.
For lip blush, scar tissue on the lips may also affect how evenly the pigment heals.
Yes, we offer both brow shaping and brow tinting services.
We specialize in brow shaping using waxing (not threading) to clean up and define the eyebrows. Brow mapping is included with every service to help create a balanced, flattering shape that suits your face.
Brow tinting is a semi-permanent dye that enhances the color of your natural brow hairs. It helps the brows look fuller, darker, and more defined without the need for makeup.
Brow tinting typically lasts 1–3 weeks, depending on your skin type, hair growth cycle, aftercare, and lifestyle.
