PERMANENT MAKEUP FAQ
-
Your appointment begins with a consultation where we’ll discuss your desired shape, color, and overall result. For eyebrow treatments, your brows will be carefully mapped and customized to complement your natural features. You’ll have the opportunity to review and approve the shape and color before the treatment begins. A topical numbing agent is used to help keep you comfortable throughout the service. Before you leave, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions along with the products needed to care for your permanent makeup during the healing process.
-
Pain tolerance varies from person to person. A topical numbing cream is used prior to and during the treatment to minimize discomfort. These topical numbing agents contain 5% lidocaine and epinephrine. Most clients feel no pain, while some experience a small amount of discomfort. We take every precaution necessary to ensure your treatment is as pain-free as possible. Having permanent makeup done during your menstrual cycle may cause more sensitivity.
-
Permanent makeup results are individual and will vary from person to person. For brows, a color refresh is typically recommended every 1.5-3 years, depending on how the pigment fades over time. Longevity and pigment retention can be influenced by many factors, including skin type and condition (such as oily, dry, or sun-damaged skin), natural skin undertones, sun exposure, lifestyle, smoking and alcohol consumption, medications, overall health, and how closely aftercare instructions are followed. Proper aftercare and ongoing sun protection can help support the longevity of your healed results.

In most cases, yes it can (unless it’s a keloid). If you have any questions, please schedule a consultation or email a clear photo of the area to be treated so we can review and let you know if you’re a good candidate. Email Breanna at aperfect10studio@yahoo.com
-
Touch-up pricing varies depending on how much time has passed since your last treatment. For brows, a color refresh is typically recommended every 1.5-3 years, or once the pigment has lightened by approximately 50%. Please visit the Book Appointments page for current touch-up options and pricing.
-
Initial permanent makeup appointments typically take 3 hours, while touch-up appointments generally take 2-2.5 hours. Appointment times may vary depending on the treatment and amount of work needed. You’ll receive a confirmation email after booking with everything you need to know before your appointment.
-
If you have previous permanent makeup or microblading, your brows must be at least 80% faded or barely visible before new work can be considered. Previous work may limit how much the shape and color can be adjusted, and scar tissue from prior treatments or tattoo removal may also affect pigment retention.
An in-person consultation is recommended so I can properly evaluate your existing permanent makeup. If you’re traveling from a distance and a consultation isn’t practical, clear photos may be submitted for review prior to booking. Photos should be taken from multiple angles in natural lighting, without brow makeup or flash so the existing pigment can be evaluated as accurately as possible.
Please note: Work originally preformed by another artist is considered a new service and should not be booked as a touch-up.
