How many sessions do I need for Permanent Makeup?

For the best results with Permanent Makeup, you’ll typically need at least two sessions—it’s a two-step process! Depending on your preferences, additional sessions might be recommended to perfect the desired color.

Is Permanent Makeup painful?

The Permanent Makeup procedure is generally quite comfortable, with clients often describing it as a mild tickling sensation, usually ranking around 2-3 out of 10 on the discomfort scale. Everyone’s pain threshold is different, but our technique is gentle and non-invasive. If needed, we can apply topical anesthetics to minimize sensation. To enhance your experience, follow pre-procedure instructions, schedule around your menstrual cycle, and skip caffeinated products 24 hours before your appointment to reduce swelling and sensitivity.
