Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing a beauty expert can be challenging. Let me help you make an educated decision with your beauty and wellness needs!
Permanent Makeup
How long does permanent makeup last? The pigments used typically last between 2-5 years. With time, the pigments fade gradually, therefor needing touch ups as needed.
Is permanent makeup really permanent? No. The pigments used do not contain oxides or stabilizers as in conventional tattooing. The major benefit of using semipermanent pigments is to avoid colors changing over time. (Older PMU artists had this problem, the industry has significantly improved all around)
How common are allergic reactions? Negative reactions are extremely rare, patch tests can be done by request but not required.
Is there "down time"? Lip Blushing has a 5 day healing time. The first 1-2 days your lips will be slightly swollen and the color vivid. Day 3-5 the lips will peel and fade up to 50%. Same for eyeliner tattoos. Eyebrow tattoos and Microblading will appear slightly dark for the first 5 days, with light flaking. we recommend avoiding sun, sweating and swimming for 10 days.
Eyelash Extensions
Will eyelash extensions damage my natural lashes? NO. If you follow the lash aftercare and have the lashes applied individually by one of our highly trained artists, you can wear lash extensions for years without affecting the integrity of your natural lashes.
Is everyone a candidate for eyelashes? You must have enough natural lashes to properly apply extensions.
Why are lash fills required? Natural eyelashes typically grow in 3 month cycles from "baby" lash to "adult" lash. Similar to other body hair, we lose on average 2-3 eyelashes per day during sleep, washing and natural shedding. As you gradually shed and have growth, your extensions will grow too far out and will need to be replaced.
Facials
How often should you receive facials? For maximum skin health, hydrating/ nourishing facials are recommended 1-2 times per month. More invasive facials such as peels and micro needling are recommended 1x per month.
What is the best facial? When starting your skincare journey, we recommend a custom basic facial, where your esthetician will evaluate your skin and propose a treatment plan to target your skincare goals.
Do facials cause breakouts? Typically you will not. However, it is common for your skin to purge excess oils and bacteria that were previously trapped under dead skin. Your facial expert will guide you on a proper skincare regimen.
