PRIOR TO YOUR PERMANENT MAKEUP APPOINTMENT:

​

                                                        First of all…TRY AND RELAX:)

​

  You are in good hands!  I will do my best to make you comfortable during your procedure.

• I numb you with Lidocaine so there is minimal pain. 

• I use the Softtap method. No machine is used so there will be less pain.

• We will discuss at length the shape and color of the look you desire. There will be no surprises for you.

• Permanent make up pigments are not implanted as deep into the skin as a traditional body tattoo. This allows for healed results of fine hair lines and soft shadowing.

•  Pigment retention varies depending on lifestyles, skin type, age, aftercare, immune system, medications, certain chemicals.

• Please allow three hours for your first visit.

• A second appointment is needed within one month for best results.

• I use only the best quality pigments  from Softaps.com that heal true to color.

• All materials used during each and every appointment are 100% disposable and sterile.

• I strictly adhere to both Florida Public Health and OSHA guidelines for proper infection control practices.

• If you have PM already from another artist the results may vary and this may be considered color corrective work. I will discuss this with you during your appointment.

• To ensure best results:Make sure you are in good health: body and mind. You want to be well, to heal well.

• 24 hours before your appointment avoid alcohol and aspirin/blood thinners. 

• Botox and Restylane should be avoided two weeks prior and one month after.

• If you use exfoliating skin products like Retin-A please avoid applying it to your forehead for brows, or around your mouth or chin for lips, for up to 30 days prior to appointment and during healing period.

• On the day of your appointment: Wash your hair in the morning as you will need to avoid water for several days. Baths are recommended.

• For lip procedures:   If you are prone to cold sores please take an over the counter L-Lysine supplement one to two weeks prior to your appointment and as you heal.

• For eyeliner: If you wear contacts, please bring your glasses.

• ​Please allow yourself time after the appointment to care for your new makeup.

• Your makeup will be much darker for the first 7-14 days.

• You will be applying healing salve on the area and may be a little sore.

• Give yourself 7 days without any important events because you cannot wear other makeup around the area.

• Do not do intense exercise, go to beach or pool, do excessive cleaning (dusty atmospheres), or go to massage/chiropractor  visits during this healing process.

   I am looking forward to taking care of you! Please call or text with any questions you may have.
