Permanent Make-up

Permanent cosmetics are not only for the rich and famous! Now you can experience the convenience and beauty for yourself. If you have poor eyesight or unsteady hands, oily skin, hair loss, or you are the busy person who always wants to look your best, permanent makeup is the answer for you.

Permanent makeup is a form of cosmetic tattooing where pigment is implanted into the dermis of the skin. This cosmetic procedure can enhance eyes, as permanent eyeliner, lips as permanent lipstick or lip-liner, and eyebrows, either by augmenting eyebrows that have thinned or darkening and sharpening the line of existing eyebrows.

We find that this procedure can be beneficial for women who are allergic to traditional cosmetics or who have difficulty seeing well enough to apply makeup. It also can be useful for clients whose hands tend to be shaky. Permanent makeup can help “even out” asymmetric features. Permanent makeup is very popular with clients who have very busy, active lifestyles. We also offer camouflage tattoo for scars to help minimize their appearance.

The procedure is done in our spa using sterile technique by our two permanent makeup artists. Photos are taken before the procedure. Usually topical anesthetics are all that is needed for client comfort. Occasionally local injectable anesthetics are employed, especially in applying permanent lipstick. Some swelling usually results from the procedure, but ice packs are applied post-procedure to help minimize swelling.

All tattoos fade with time. Permanent makeup tends to last about 2 years, with some lightening of the tattooing over that time period. The life of your permanent makeup can be increased by regular sunscreen and hat use and by the wearing of sunglasses.

About our permanent makeup technicians: Our permanent makeup procedures are done by Celeste Owens. She is a member of the American Society of Permanent Cosmetics and has been certified by that organization. Celeste received her training in 2003.
