Frequently Asked Questions

What is PMU?

Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing or cosmetic ink, is a procedure that enhances facial features by implanting pigment into the skin. Essentially it is a tattoo, but pigments are made to breakdown, fade and lighten over time.

PMU Brow Services provided:

Microblading - Microblading is a permanent makeup technique that uses fine hair like strokes to enhance the shape, fullness, and symmetry of the brows while creating a soft, natural looking result. It’s ideal for clients wanting effortless brows that still look like their own, just fuller and more defined.

Powder/ Shading/ Ombré - Powder brows, ombré brows, and shading are permanent makeup techniques designed to create a soft, filled in brow appearance using tiny pixels of pigment instead of individual hair strokes. These techniques create a more makeup inspired look that can range from soft and natural to more defined, while typically offering better longevity and retention for oily, mature, or textured skin types.

Combo: Microblading & Shading - Combination brows blend microblading with soft shading to create the perfect balance of natural hairstrokes and added fullness for a beautifully defined result. This is my signature brow style because it gives the most versatile, long lasting, and natural looking healed results while adding depth, dimension, and better overall retention for most skin types.

Is there a way to see a mockup first?

If you’re wondering what your PMU will look like before committing to the service, please schedule a Free Virtual Consult under the booking section.

How long do PMU brows last?

After the initial visit and 6 week touch up, Permanent Makeup can last anywhere from 1-5 years depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. I recommend clients to do a color boost appointment every 1-2 years to refresh their look. *At some point, without color boost visits, Permanent Makeup will completely fade.

Does getting PMU brows hurt?

ABSOLUTELY NOT! I use numbing so you will have little to no pain. 99% of my clients say, “Oh, you started??” and fall asleep during the process.

How long does it take for PMU brows to fully heal? What is the healing process like?

Initial healing typically takes about 7 to 14 days, while full healing and pigment settling can take around 4 to 8 weeks. A perfecting session is usually recommended after healing for the best long term results. PMU brows go through several healing stages including darkness, flaking, lightening, and color settling. It’s completely normal for the brows to appear darker immediately after the procedure before softening into the healed result over the following weeks.

What should I avoid before my PMU brow appointment?

To help minimize sensitivity and bleeding, avoid alcohol, caffeine, blood thinning medications or supplements, retinol, and excessive sun exposure before your appointment unless otherwise approved by your physician. (SEE PRECARE INFO)

What should I avoid after getting PMU brows?

During healing, avoid picking, scratching, excessive sweating, swimming, saunas, direct sun exposure, and applying makeup or skincare products directly on the brows unless instructed otherwise. Proper aftercare plays a huge role in healed results and retention. (SEE AFTERCARE INFO)

How long does the appointment take?

Initial visit can take between 2 ½ - 3 ½ hours:

We start with a consultation so we are on the same page for your Permanent Makeup goals.

Mapping and shaping is created and approved by you before we start.

Color creation/matching is done and approved by you before we start.

Do you have to shave off my eyebrows? Will it make my eyebrow hairs fall out?

No and No! In fact, sometimes clients get hair growth after the procedure because the hair follicles get stimulated. The only hair that gets cleaned up is that hair that falls outside of the shape created and the removal is approved by you.
