The Permanent Makeup Process

Consultation

A  consultation is done for a few reasons. Firstly, you get to meet us and it gives you an oppurtunity to ask all of those questions that you've been dying to ask! Secondly, it allows us to see if you're suitable for the treatment that you wish to get. 

Before you come for your consultation, you may want to check out our FAQs.

The consultation appointment is quite fast, really. Think about it like a chat over coffee. Normally, it takes about 15 minutes to run through the treatment process, healing and expectations.

I'll give you a patch test and run through some medical questions to make sure that you're fit and healthy to get the treatment. If you'd like to get a sneak peek of the medical history form, you can find it here. You don't need to fill it in before you arrive (this can be done at the treatment appointment).

Alternatively, you can do the consultation via facebook messenger, instagram messenger or whatsapp. When booking your appointment, there is an online consultation option. Please contact us on the best platform for you. You will have to contact us as we can't message you unless you send us a message first (unless using whatsapp).

We can also chat via telephone if you'd like, as long as you send me photos of the area you wish to get tattooed first. We don't do video calls as we can rarely see the area clear enough.

Kindly note that the consultation is free. If you have booked one, but won't be attending, just let us know (you don't even need to give us a reason why).  It wastes our time when clients don't show up and someone else can take that spot if you let us know in advance.

Day of Treatment

Yesss! This is the day that you get your permanent makeup!

Please arrive on time as we have a busy schedule and if you are more than 15 minutes late, we may need to reschedule your appointment for another day (and you'll forfeit your deposit).

We will start the appointment by drawing the new shape of what we will be tattooing. This is used as a template. It's really important, so it may take some time. Once we love it, we will show it to you to get a thumbs up. If you're not happy with it, now is the time to say it.

Once the drawing is complete, we will apply a numbing cream to make sure that you're comfortable throughout the treatment.

This is the time that you'll get a chance to read and sign all of the paperwork. If you have any questions about this, or don't understand something- just let us know.

We will set up our supplies in the meantime, so you can see everything. All of our supplies are disposable and will be thrown away after each appointment.

Then it's time to tattoo! Don't be nervous; you're in good hands. You were probably thinking it was going to be much more painful than it actually is!

The tattooing part can be quite fast for some clients!

When we are finished, we will show you how it looks and explain the after care.

Touch Up Appointment

Permanent makeup is a two step process. We will schedule you in for a perfecting session between 6-12 weeks after the initial appointment.

It is normal to see fading or asymmetries. This is why we do a second session.

This session is normally shorter in length and the price of it is included. many artists charge for this session, but we like to keep things simple.

Maintenance

The amount of time that permanent makeup will last is dependant on many factors. Things like sun exposure, skin creams, tanning and your own body are just some. With this being said, you can never guarantee how long it will last for. 

 For some people, it can last for many years, whilst others it may last a year before fading occurs.

We recommend that you get a colour refresh/ touch up  every 12-18 months. If you have done your original appointment with us, we offer discounted rates for these sessions.
