Do You Qualify for Permenant Makeup?

  • Pregnant or Breastfeeding

    Hormonal changes will greatly affect your pigment retention. We suggest giving your body a few months to normalize after having your baby and/or nursing. After this time period, we are more than happy to get you scheduled!

  • Autoimmunity

    Autoimmune disorders can cause challenges to permanent makeup results. Due to the body’s immune system being in a compromised state, we want to ensure you can heal correctly. Results can be unpredictable depending on the type of disorder.

  • Tan or Sunburnt

    UV rays are your skin’s worst enemy! We absolutely will not work on guests who are tan or sunburned. Why? Not only is the skin in a damaged state, but we simply cannot read your true skin tone. Your results will appear blurry under the skin, change in color, fade prematurely, or not retain at all.

  • Keloids or Hypertrophic Scarring

    Unfortunately, if you are prone to developing keloids / hypertrophic scars, you must avoid permanent cosmetics. We certainly would never want to run the risk of creating a raised scar on your face! Keloids are simply an overproduction of collagen during the body’s healing process.

  • Blood Thinners

    If you currently take blood-thinning medication or have a bleeding disorder, you are not a candidate for permanent cosmetics. Simply put, the more your skin bleeds during a procedure, the less pigment retention you will have. Due to increased blood flow, your pigment stands a high chance of healing very ash in color, or not retaining at all.

  • Anti-Aging and Anti-Acne Products

    Using these products before your appointment causes increased cell renewal and leaves the skin sensitive. Stopping use at least one month before your service is recommended. Please note that using these products after tattooing will cause lightening and potential color change.

  • Botox

    Wrinkle relaxers can adjust the lift in your brow and disable natural movement. We suggest letting your results wear off before you see us for a brow appointment so we can see your natural brow symmetry. You’re free to resume Botox or the like once you’re healed from both brow treatments!

  • Accutane

    Absolutely no Accutane use within one year of treatment. No exceptions!

  • Chemotherapy

    Because your health is our greatest concern, please wait 6 months post-treatment. If you are considering permanent makeup before your treatment begins, allow 12 weeks (start to finish) to squeeze in both appointments!

  • Oily Skin

    Regretfully, oily to severely oily skin does not retain well in permanent makeup procedures. Microblading looks are not an option, however, fully shaded techniques such as ombre powder brows are possible! Oily skin will always fade faster, so this is also important to note if you choose to move forward.

  • Thin or Mature Skin

    It is our responsibility to ensure the best possible outcomes for our clients. Thin or mature skin runs a greater risk of increased bleeding, blurred results or poor retention. Fully shaded techniques such as ombre powder brows are recommended!

  • Laser Treatments or Resurfacing Facials

    Similar to anti-aging ingredients, facial resurfacing of any kind will change the quality of your skin. Laser treatments, chemical peels, and resurfacing treatments have the potential to prevent pigment from retaining at all, or causing very blurred, cool results.

  • You have any history of melanoma

  • You suffer from autoimmune diseases (understanding your results cannot be guaranteed) and want to proceed with the service

  • You are under a physician’s care for your heart, seizures, or any other medical conditions requiring medications that cannot be stopped.

  • You are recently in remission from cancer

PLEASE NOTE

If you are Diabetic, have Thyroid issues, regularly tan, have Trichotillomania, use retinol/anti-aging products or the like, have oily skin and/or large pores, or visit the gym 4+ days a week and still wish to proceed:

You may be required to sign an addendum to your waiver agreeing you understand these situations may cause your results to appear blurry under the skin, change in color, fade prematurely, or not retain at all.
