FAQ's

What is semi-permanent makeup?

Semi-permanent makeup is a cosmetic tattoo technique that enhances features such as brows, lips, and eyeliner by depositing pigment into the skin. The results are soft, natural-looking, and designed to fade gradually over time.

How long does semi-permanent makeup last?

Results typically last between 1–3 years, depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, and aftercare. Maintenance sessions are recommended to keep results looking fresh and defined.

Does it hurt?

Most clients experience minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream is used throughout the procedure to keep you as comfortable as possible.

How long is the appointment?

Appointments typically range from 2–3 hours depending on the service and level of detail required.

What will it look like immediately after?

Your results will appear more defined and slightly darker immediately after your appointment. The colour will soften and settle as it heals over the following days.

How long does it take to fully heal?

Initial healing typically takes 7–10 days, with full results settling over 4–6 weeks.

Before & Aftercare

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications 24 hours prior to your appointment. Detailed pre-care instructions will be provided based on your service.

What is the downtime?

There is minimal downtime. You may experience slight redness, swelling, or sensitivity, which typically subsides within a few days.

Can I exercise or swim after my appointment?

It is recommended to avoid sweating, swimming, and submerging the treated area in water for several days to allow proper healing and pigment retention.

Results & Maintenance

Do I need touch-ups for my brows?

Yes—touch-ups (maintenance sessions) are recommended to keep your brows looking fresh, defined, and balanced over time.

Fading is completely normal and varies depending on factors such as skin type, sun exposure, lifestyle, and skincare products (especially those containing retinol or brightening ingredients).

Most clients return for a maintenance session within 6–18 months to refresh the colour and shape.

Pricing is based on how long it has been since your last appointment and the type of service received.

Is a touch-up included?

A complimentary 6–8 week perfecting session is included if needed after your initial appointment. This allows us to refine the shape, adjust colour, and ensure optimal healed results.

What happens if I skip my perfecting session?

The initial session builds the foundation, while the perfecting session ensures proper healing, colour retention, and refinement. Skipping this session may affect the final result.

Will I need more than one session?

Yes. All semi-permanent makeup services require at least two sessions for optimal results. Some services, such as lip neutralization, may require multiple sessions depending on the starting point and desired outcome.

Suitability

Am I a good candidate for semi-permanent makeup?

Most individuals are suitable candidates; however, certain skin types, medical conditions, or previous work may affect results. A consultation is recommended for personalized guidance.

Are there any reasons I may not be eligible for treatment?

Certain conditions may prevent you from receiving treatment, such as pregnancy, active skin conditions, infections, or certain medical treatments. A consultation is recommended to ensure the service is safe and suitable for you.

What if I have previous work done?

If you have existing permanent makeup or uneven pigmentation, a consultation is required. In some cases, correction or removal may be recommended before proceeding to ensure the best results.

Will my results look natural?

Yes. All services are customized to enhance your natural features. Our goal is to create soft, balanced, and natural-looking results tailored to you.

Consultations are recommended for clients with previous work, specific concerns, or those unsure of which service is best. Otherwise, we will go through a full consultation at the start of your appointment.

Can I bring reference photos?

How do I choose the right service or technique?
