Level Up Your Makeup Routine With Permanent Makeup
Permanent makeup eyebrows (also known as microblading or eyebrow tattooing) is a cosmetic procedure that uses permanent pigments to enhance or create the appearance of fuller, more defined eyebrows. This procedure is perfect for those who want a faster makeup routine or a bolder, yet natural brow enhancement.
What Is Permanent Makeup?
Also known as micropigmentation or cosmetic tattooing, permanent makeup is an aesthetic treatment that elevates and refines natural beauty. During the procedure, we apply pigments to the eyebrows and lips to give them more definition and shape. The makeup can reinforce eyeliner and create beauty marks like freckles. Your permanent makeup can complement or pair with your cosmetic routine or be applied on its own to give you continued beauty.
The Advantages of Cosmetic Tattooing
The benefits of micropigmentation include:
Is your life busy? Do you dislike beauty regimens? If so, permanent makeup will alleviate the hassle and enable you to wake up looking great every day.
If you can’t apply traditional makeup because you’re allergic to its ingredients, cosmetic tattooing provides an allergen-free solution.
Since your permanent makeup will likely last you a year or more, you’ll save time and money on purchasing additional makeup and beauty products.

FAQs
How Long Does it Last?
Depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare, microblading can last anywhere from 6 months to 3 years or longer. In order to keep your brows looking fresh, a touch up is recommended about every 2 years.
Does it Hurt?
While the process is not completely painless, strong topical anesthetics are used to help keep you comfortable. Every guest’s pain tolerance is different and we will take every action possible to keep the discomfort minimal.
How Long Is the Appointment?
You can expect to spend 3-4 hours at your initial appointment depending on your artist. Touch up appointments are about 1.5-2 hours.
How Will They Look Healed?
Immediately after you can expect your brows to be slightly bolder, thicker, or sharper than you are used to. We suggest avoiding big events or vacations near your appointment to allow for proper healing. Most guests will experience slight tenderness for a day or two.

We use Tina Davies Perma blend which is pigment that is specifically made for microblading. Quality formulation, high quality pigments with stable color performance.
Is Anyone a Candidate?
Unfortunately, not! There are specific candidacy requirements for your health and safety and best service outcome.
How Do You Choose the Shape and Color?
Shape, size and placement are all dependent on your anatomy. We will take measurements of your face and then draw a template on your brows so you have an idea of what to expect. Color choice is based on your skin tone and existing brow hair.
Can I Still Wax and Tweeze My Brows?
Do not wax or tweeze your brows for at least two weeks leading up to your appointment. The more hair for us to work with, the better! Once your permanent makeup is completely healed (2 weeks post initial visit), you may resume regular shaping.
