WHAT IS PERMANENT MAKEUP (PMU)?

Permanent Makeup (PMU) is a specialized cosmetic technique that uses pigment implanted into the skin to create long-lasting enhancements resembling traditional makeup. Common applications include eyebrows, eyeliner, and other features to beautifully define and enhance your natural appearance.

The procedure involves using a precision needle to deposit pigment beneath the upper layers of the skin. To ensure client comfort, a topical anesthetic is applied before the treatment begins. Each session typically takes between 120 to 180 minutes, depending on the complexity and type of service.

When it comes to eyebrows, there are three popular PMU techniques to choose from: Microblading, Nano Stroke, Ombre Powder,and Cover-Up — each offering a unique look tailored to your style, skin type, and preferences.

🪒 Microblading

Natural-Looking, Hair-Like Strokes

Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow technique designed to mimic the appearance of real hair. Using a fine, handheld blade, individual hair strokes are manually etched into the skin with pigment, creating the illusion of fuller, more defined brows. This method is ideal for clients with normal to dry skin and those seeking a soft, natural enhancement.

How Long It Lasts:

✨ Typically lasts two to three years, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.

Best For:

  • Normal to dry skin

  • Sparse or over-plucked brows

  • A natural, feathery look

🖋️ Nano Stroke Brows / Hyper-realistic eyebrows

Precision and Longevity with Machine Work

Nano Strokes or Hyper-realistic eyebrows use a digital tattoo machine and an ultra-fine needle to create crisp, hair-like strokes that replicate natural brow hairs. This technique allows for better pigment retention and is especially suitable for oily or sensitive skin. Nano Strokes fade more gracefully and last longer than manual microblading.

How Long It Lasts:

✨ Generally lasts two to four years, with excellent color retention and softer fading.

Best For:

  • All skin types, including oily and sensitive

  • Clients who want longer-lasting results

  • A highly detailed, refined finish

🖊️ Ombre Powder

Soft Gradient for a Makeup-Like Finish

Ombre Powder Brows create a soft-shaded brow pencil or powder effect, starting lighter at the front and gradually deepening toward the tail. This technique uses a digital machine to implant pigment evenly across the brow area. The result is a more defined, makeup-ready look that suits all skin types and lasts longer than hair-stroke techniques.

How Long It Lasts:

✨ Typically lasts 2 to 3 years, with minimal touch-ups needed.

Best For:

  • All skin types

  • Clients who prefer a makeup or defined look

  • Covering previous PMU or correcting shape

🩹Cover Up / Correction

Correct or Refresh Previous Permanent Makeup

Do you have old, faded, or discolored brows from a previous PMU treatment? If your previous work has changed color (such as orange, blue, or gray tones), has an unflattering shape, or simply no longer matches your current style — we can help. Our PMU cover-up service is designed to neutralize and adjust existing pigment, restoring your brows to a more natural and flattering look. Depending on the condition of your existing PMU, the correction process may involve several different techniques, including:

Color correction: Using custom pigments to neutralize unwanted tones (e.g., red/orange brows)

Shape redesign: Reshaping or adjusting the design to better frame the face

Camouflage: Blending the old pigment with new work

How Long It Lasts:

✨ Typically lasts 2 to 3 years, with minimal touch-ups needed, free within 3 months.

Best For:

  • Clients with discolored or outdated PMU

  • Those who’ve had PMU done elsewhere and want a refresh

  • Clients seeking correction of shape, symmetry, or pigment tone
