What is Permanent Make Up?

It is a form of cosmetic tattoo that uses master techniques to implant colour into the dermal layer of the skin. Enhancing or fixing features that would normally be done with makeup products at home.

How Permanent?

Technically a Permanent Make Up procedure would be something everlasting. The life span of the cosmetic tattoo can vary from individuals depending on factors including a persons everyday activities, personal health, and brand of pigment used.

Highly dependant on the pressure the technician implants the pigments. Going too far may have the pigment further into the skin or even cause long term damage. Too light will result in high risk loss of pigment, longevity of brows and may risk also having no colour being deposited as well. Normally we advise clients that they may last from 6 months to 2 years.

What is Manual Nano Micro blading?

Same definition to traditional micro blading, but Nano you are using a very fine needle to implant thinner strokes that are more compacted together. This technique mimics the “powdered” look you would achieve drawing your brows with regular makeup at home.
