We begin with a thorough discussion of your goals, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences. Melissa will assess your facial features, skin type, and natural coloring to create a customized treatment plan. This is your opportunity to ask questions, view before/after examples, and feel completely confident in your decision.
Design & Mapping
Before any pigment touches your skin, we design your new look. For brows, this means precise measurements and symmetry mapping. For lips, we outline your desired shape. For eyeliner, we determine placement and thickness. You'll approve every detail before we proceed.
Numbing & Comfort
Your comfort matters. We apply topical numbing agents to minimize discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure or light scratching—far less painful than anticipated. We work at your pace and check in regularly throughout the procedure.
Precision Pigment Application
Using specialized techniques and premium pigments custom-blended to your coloring, Melissa carefully deposits color into the dermal layer of your skin. Sessions typically last 2-3 hours depending on the service. You'll see immediate results, though the final color develops as you heal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does permanent makeup hurt?
Most clients experience mild discomfort, but we use effective topical numbing agents to minimize sensation. Pain tolerance varies, but most describe it as tolerable pressure or light scratching. Lips tend to be slightly more sensitive than brows or eyeliner.
Will it look natural or "tattooed"?
When performed by an experienced artist, permanent makeup looks completely natural. We avoid harsh lines, unnatural colors, and overly bold application. Our goal is subtle enhancement that complements your features—not an obviously "done" look.
Can I still wear makeup over permanent makeup?
Absolutely! Permanent makeup is designed to enhance, not replace, your makeup routine. Many clients wear less makeup daily but can still apply additional products for special occasions.
Who is NOT a candidate?
Permanent makeup may not be suitable if you're pregnant/nursing, have certain skin conditions (active eczema, psoriasis), keloid scarring tendency, blood clotting disorders, or are undergoing chemotherapy. We'll discuss your medical history during consultation.
How long does permanent makeup last?
Results vary by technique and individual factors. Nano Blading lasts 1-3 years, Powder Brows 2-4 years, Lip Blushing 2-3 years, and Eyeliner 2-4 years. Sun exposure, skin type, lifestyle, and skincare routines all affect longevity. Periodic PMU Refresh appointments maintain optimal appearance.
What if I don't like the results?
This is why the design phase is so crucial. You'll approve every aspect before we begin. That said, permanent makeup does fade over time, and removal options exist if necessary. We've never had a client regret their results when expectations are properly set.
What's the healing process like?
Initial healing takes 7-10 days. You'll experience some swelling (especially lips), darkening of color, light scabbing, and flaking. This is completely normal. Your true color emerges after complete healing at 4-6 weeks. The touch-up appointment perfects your results.
How do I choose the right color?
That's our job! Melissa expertly matches or enhances your natural coloring, considering your skin tone, hair color, and desired intensity. We aim for complementary shades that look natural and age gracefully.
