Before the first permanent makeup hour

Almost every guest arrives a little nervous to a first permanent makeup session. Knowing the order of the hour removes most of that fear.

Before: skip caffeine and anything that thins the blood the day of your visit, come with calm skin — no fresh peel, no sunburn — and treat reference photos as inspiration, not a template. Your features lead the design.

During: we draw, measure and adjust until you approve every line. Only then does pigment touch the skin. Numbing keeps the sensation mild; most guests describe a light scratch, not pain.

After: color looks bolder for a few days, then softens as it heals over about a week to ten days. A perfecting visit later refines the detail. The healed result is the real one. Trust that pause.
