Services
Permanent Makeup
Our permanent makeup services enhance natural features with soft, daywear-appropriate pigments. Using iron oxide-based formulas, we create eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip treatments that fade gradually over 1-3 years. Clients appreciate the convenience of waking up with flawless makeup that withstands active lifestyles while maintaining a natural appearance.
Microblading
Microblading creates fuller, defined eyebrows by simulating hair strokes that blend with natural growth. Ideal for clients with sparse brows, this technique uses sterile tools to deposit pigment just beneath the skin's surface. Results last 1-2 years with proper sun protection and touch-ups.
Eyeliner Application
Our eyeliner procedure connects natural lashes for a fuller, more defined look. Applied inside the lash line using gentle pigments, this semi-permanent solution resists smudging and fading. Clients with light to medium skin tones achieve the most visible results, with touch-ups recommended annually.
Lip Enhancements
Lip color treatments add definition and fullness through soft pigment application. This procedure helps maintain even lip tone while reducing the need for daily makeup. Healing takes 5-10 days, with annual touch-ups recommended to maintain vibrancy, especially for clients in sunny climates.
Medical Tattooing
Specialized medical tattooing restores natural appearance after mastectomy or trauma through nipple/areola re-pigmentation. Our artists use precise color matching to create realistic results for breast reconstruction patients, burn survivors, and individuals with skin imperfections.
