Are permanent cosmetics really permanent?
APermanent makeup is the name given to the cosmetic tattoo process. The application of permanent cosmetics will last most individuals for up to 18 months or longer before requiring a color booster. Unlike traditional tattoos, permanent cosmetic colors are more delicate, designed to mimic hair colors and skin tones. These colors are less intense than traditional tattoo pigments, and therefore will fade sooner. Every person is different with how well pigment holds in their skin. You can lengthen the life of your permanent cosmetics by protecting your skin from the sun and improving overall skin maintenance. Most people will choose to have their permanent makeup color boosted within one to five years of the original procedure.

Will permanent cosmetics change or look bad as I age?
APermanent makeup will fade gradually over time, so there will not be an obvious change in your cosmetic applications. The color will just lighten in "intensity" as the skin continues to renew itself over the years. Loss of muscle tone or elasticity through the natural aging process will not interfere with color retention or pigment placement. You will be aware that you need a color booster when you begin having to use more cosmetics.
What if I'm planning to have plastic surgery?
A Yes, you can choose to have your permanent makeup applied prior to surgery to eliminate the need to wear cosmetics and to help you look your best during the healing process. It does not interfere with the surgery process. You may also wait until after surgery and have your permanent cosmetics applied as soon as your physician feels you are ready.
Can permanent cosmetics be removed or altered?
AYes, absolutely. You can opt to have your permanent makeup "camouflaged" by your technician, although this is a temporary fix. You can also have your permanent makeup completely removed with a laser or with our non-laser tattoo removal system (Tattoo Vanish). Another alternative is to simply allow your permanent cosmetics to fade away on their own over time.

New client service appointments and consultations will require a credit card at the time of scheduling to reserve your appointment. We regret that we cannot schedule new client appointments without a credit card unless the service is prepaid. Your card will not be processed for the procedure prior to your appointment.
Our Cancellation Policy
We require a 48 hour notice to cancel or reschedule all new client appointments to avoid a broken appointment fee of $100. Permanent Cosmetics and Cosmetic Services require a sterile set-up which is “specific” to the type of procedure you're having. This involves time and disposable materials which must be ordered and prepared in advance of your appointment. Due to the nature of our services, we are seldom able to rebook appointments that are canceled with less than a 48 hour notice. Our phones are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you have any questions about our policy or fees, please inquire prior to scheduling your procedure.
