Frequently Asked Questions
Microblading/Microshading/Ombre
Microblading is a semi-permanent make-up technique where a special hand tool and color pigment are used to etch hair-like strokes just under the skin’s surface. For more dramatic looks the Ombre effect can be done or Microshading. All of these techniques can fill in sparse brows or create an entire brow. The 3D effect adds realism to the result, creating brows that look like real hair strokes, at the surface of the skin. The effects of the treatment are semi-permanent and last up to two years. Clients will typically have an initial treatment, followed by a follow up retouch treatment to fill in any areas and add depth to the look. This is the hottest beauty trend!
Permanent Cosmetics
What is Permanent Cosmetics?
Permanent cosmetic makeup, also known as micropigmentation is the art and science of implanting color into the dermal layer of the skin. It is putting the perfect color in the right place to make each client look their best.
Will it look natural?
The Beauty Secrets Permanent Cosmetic Makeup Technique is soft and natural. This is achieved by our technique paired with advanced microblading tools or the digital machine and hypoallergenic pigments. Once your new makeup is healed the color is under the skin and you will have family and friends questioning how you look so good and put together all day long!
Why should I do Permanent Cosmetics?
Having your brows and liner done will save you time and money since you will no longer have to spend hours in front of the mirror applying expensive makeup that only ends up smearing and disappearing during the course of a long day. Think of all the extra time and money you will have to spend doing the things you never had time for before!
What is the process?
You will start with a consultation and talk with Nicole to discuss your goals. Nicole will map and measure your brows following the golden ratio to find your desired shape and color. A pain control product will be used to numb the area, prevent swelling and bleeding. Your service will then be completed, taking approximately one and a half hours total. This is a 2-step service, you will schedule a "perfecting session" for 3 weeks from initial service.
What is the aftercare?
You will be given instructions and ointment to take home with you for healing. It is a 5-9 day healing process. While the color heals it will look darker and bolder, and on the 5th day turn into soft and natural perfection.
Will I have to have it re-done?
Permanent cosmetics stay in the skin forever but fade over time. Color boosts are recommended annually to keep your makeup looking fresh.
What brand pigments are used?
SofTap pigments are used.
