Question 1

How long does semi-permanent makeup last?

Accepted Answer

Semi-permanent makeup typically lasts between 1–3 years, depending on the treatment, your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you follow aftercare instructions. Brow treatments generally last 1–2 years, while lip blush can last 2–3 years. A top-up is recommended every 12–18 months.

Question 2

Is the treatment painful?

Accepted Answer

Most clients experience minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream is applied before and during the treatment. Some describe the sensation as a slight scratching or vibrating feeling. The numbing cream significantly reduces any discomfort.

Question 3

What is the healing process like?

Accepted Answer

Healing typically takes 4–6 weeks. During the first week the colour appears darker than the final result. Around days 3–5 the treated area begins to flake and peel — this is normal. The true colour emerges after about 4 weeks once the skin has fully healed.

Question 4

Do I need a patch test?

Accepted Answer

A patch test is recommended for clients with sensitive skin or a history of allergies, typically done 48 hours before your appointment. We'll discuss your medical history during your consultation.

Question 5

What should I do before my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours, and blood-thinning medications for 48 hours. Don't have any facial treatments for 2 weeks prior. Avoid sunbeds and excessive sun exposure. Come with a clean face and bring reference photos if you have a specific look in mind.

Question 6

What is the difference between Nanobladed brows and Microblading?

Accepted Answer

Microblading and nanoblading are essentially the same technique — both are done by hand using an ultra-fine blade to create delicate, hair-like strokes for a soft, natural finish. They work best on brows that already have a good amount of natural hair.

Question 7

Is a top-up included in the price?

Accepted Answer

The initial treatment price includes a complimentary 6-week top-up appointment. Annual colour refreshes are available separately.

Question 8

Can I wear makeup after my treatment?

Accepted Answer

Avoid applying makeup directly on the treated area for at least 7–10 days to allow proper healing and prevent infection. After this period you can resume your normal makeup routine.

Question 9

What if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

Semi-permanent makeup treatments are not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding as a precautionary measure. We recommend waiting until you've finished breastfeeding before booking.
