Frequently Asked Questions (see video's section for some more FAQ's answered)

What is Permanent Makeup?

Permanent makeup is also often referred to as semi-permanent makeup, microblading, micro pigmentation or cosmetic tattooing (to name a few). It is a cosmetic technique which deposits pigment into the dermis layer of the skin. Unlike traditional tattooing we work only very superficially in the skin using a pigment that breaks down gradually over time with even fading.

I am worried about the pain. Does it hurt?

This is one of the questions that clients ask me the most when coming to me for permanent makeup. Before starting your procedure I can apply a topical anaesthetic to the treatment area to keep you comfortable throughout your treatment. I have clients that have been so relaxed they have almost fallen asleep and others say it's no worse than a scratch. So don't be concerned by the pain, it's my priority to keep you comfortable whilst giving you the perfect results you deserve!

How long does the treatment take?

The procedure is carried out over two separate appointments. I allow 2 hours for your initial treatment, following this you will then come back for a perfecting treatment 6 weeks later. Your second appointment will take approximately 1 hour, as the majority of the makeup application is done when I first see you. All the treatment pricing is inclusive of both appointments, any consultations, and your after care pack. THERE ARE NO HIDDEN COSTS!

How long can I expect my Makeup to last?

The results of your treatment are long-lasting, however the pigment molecules will gradually break down and fade over time. The longevity of your results will depend on many outside factors such as your skin type, sun exposure, age etc. However, it will last approximately 2-5 years, before naturally starting to fade away.

In order to keep your permanent makeup looking perfect year after year, I offer an annual top up service. This must be taken within 12-18 months, keeping your makeup looking immaculate and pristine at all times. As I will have already carried out the majority of work in your previous appointments, I offer this service at £220. (Regrettably I only offer this treatment to customers who have had their permanent makeup carried out at my clinic, I cannot touch up or correct other artists' work in an annual top up appointment).

I would like to have a Complimentary Consultation but will struggle to get time to visit the Clinic...

I would love you to come and visit my Clinic so we can meet face to face and have a cup of tea and a chat whilst showing you the beautiful space in which your treatment will be carried out. However, I understand that for many reasons this may not always be possible. With the daily struggles of juggling childcare, work or you may simply feel that the distance from your home to the Clinic is too far to travel for a consultation appointment, I now offer virtual consultations. This has proven very popular and we can arrange a time to suit you in the comfort of your own home, what could be better? Contact me now to arrange a call, or if you prefer to come and meet me face to face then I look forward to seeing you!
