1. What is permanent makeup and does it look natural?
    Permanent makeup (also called cosmetic tattooing) uses specialized pigments and techniques to enhance brows, eyes, or lips with results that look soft and natural. When done correctly by a certified artist, most people can’t tell it’s a tattoo — they just notice you look more polished.
  2. How is permanent makeup different from microblading?
    Microblading is one type of permanent makeup specifically for eyebrows, using a handheld tool to create realistic hair-like strokes. Permanent makeup also includes lip blush, eyeliner, powder brows, and more — often done with a digital machine for softer shading.
  3. How long does each procedure take?

    • Microblading or powder brows: 2–3 hours
    • Lip blush: 2–3 hours
    • Eyeliner: 2 hours
    This includes consultation, mapping/design, numbing, and the procedure itself.

  4. Is the procedure safe?
    Yes. We use 100% sterile, single-use, disposable tools for every client. All procedures follow strict CDC and OSHA hygiene standards. Numbing agents are applied for comfort, and every surface is disinfected between clients.
  5. How long does permanent makeup last?

    Results typically last 1–3 years depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Color naturally fades over time, so touch-ups help maintain your look.

  6. Do you offer consultations before booking?

    Yes, we offer free consultations to explain the different procedures and talk about what your expectations are.

  7. Can I bring photos of what I want?
    Definitely! Photos help us understand your style preferences. We’ll customize the design to match your face shape and skin tone.
  8. Can permanent makeup be changed or removed later?
    Yes, many results can be lightened, corrected, or refreshed. In some cases, we can offer removal options or refer you to a trusted specialist. Your follow up appointment will be quicker as the technician only needs to work on the areas that need to be fine tuned.
  9. What is the difference between microblading, powder brows, ombré brows, nano brows and combo brows?
    Microblading uses a handheld tool to create hair-like strokes for a natural look. Powder brows (and ombré brows) use a machine to create a soft, shaded look like makeup. Nano brows are done with a machine and mimic hair strokes but last longer. Combo brows combine strokes + shading for added fullness.
  10. What are microblading healing stages (what to expect each week)?

    Week 1: Brows look darker and slightly bold. Flaking begins after several days
    Week 2–4: Color returns lighter and softer.
    Week 6: True color is visible — time for a touch-up if needed.
