Unfortunately, there are no guaranteed results in permanent makeup.  No permanent makeup artists can guarantee results. How skin reacts to PMU is different for everyone and many factors are to be taken into consideration, such as how well clients care for their brows, skin type, age, scarring, diet, stress levels, facial products used, and medications, all play a key role in how the pigment will hold, which is why it is important to know that more than one touch up may be required.  We can guarantee that your face is important to us and that we will act in accordance with our experience and expertise to give you our absolute best. We can guarantee that we will strive to make you satisfied and content every time, but there are no guarantees in this industry.  

Permanent makeup or cosmetic tattooing is a cosmetic technique which employs tattoos as a means of producing designs that resemble makeup, such as makeup used on brows, lips, and eyeliner.  It is similar to body tattooing, except permanent makeup uses pigment that is designed to fade and is injected at a shallower skin depth than body tattooing.

No, despite the name, permanent makeup is not permanent.  Perhaps a better name is semi-permanent.   It is not one and done.  There is maintenance and the pigment is designed to fade, but it is better than doing your makeup every day.  You should expect a 6-week touchup and then a refresh touchup every year.

Most clients new to permanent makeup have genuine concerns about the risk level - after all, it is their face!  Although their concerns are valid, if done properly, permanent makeup is not as risky as people think. And we've done over 15,000 brows at multiple locations so you know you are in good hands.  Follow these 3 steps for great results:

• 1) Proper consultation - We will consult with you to find out what brows you want then pre-draw the brows with a pencil for your approval, so you know what they are going to look like before the procedure.  After the procedure, take time make sure you like the brows.  If there is something we need to adjust, let us know. 
• 2) Proper aftercare - Follow our aftercare procedures.  This will insure you have the best results. 
• 3) Expect to come back for your 6-week touchup.  Don't expect your brows to be perfect after the first procedure.  Permanent makeup often heals faded, patchy, or slightly unsymmetrical and clients need a touchup to fine tune their brows. 

Prices are based on experience level.  Our Masters have more experience than our Pros and our Pros have more experience than our students.  

• Masters typcially have over 1000 clients.  
• Pros typically have 100-1000 clients.
• Students typically have under 100 clients.

We know that permanent makeup can be expensive ($300-$800) and that often keeps people from trying permanent makeup.  That's why this is a win win!  You get to try semi-permanent makeup for a highly discounted rate and our students get to build a portfolio with the help of our instructors.  Don't worry.  Students are supervised and they will do a consultation then pencil draw the brow for your approval.

Don't expect your brows to be perfect after the first procedure.  As with any permanent makeup procedure, getting great results is a process.   You should except to do 1 or more follow up touchups to make adjustments, extend the life of your brows, and get the best results.

Depends.  New students are watched closed.  As students gain more experience, they are given more independence.

It depends.  Our students have a wide variety of experiences, ability, and backgrounds before coming to our academy.   We require our students to master drawing on 3D mannequins before working on live models.  In class, students are paired with experienced instructors to guide and teach them.  As with any of our services, you should expect to get a 6-week touchup to fine tune the brows.  Most clients are happy with their results.

You are right.  $99 is a highly discounted rate compared to the industrial standard pricing of  $300-$800.  We have an academy that trains in permanent makeup so this offer helps our students build their portfolio.  Also, you must give us permission to market the results on our websites, video, social media, and our advertising platforms.  

Your brows will be representing our academy and our graduates to the public so we want you to have great results.  Although there are no guarantees in permanent makeup due to a wide variety of skin types, our students usually get high praise from our models.  To make sure you and our students have the best experience possible, we use a system with multiple checks to insure quality results:

• Pre-practice - Our students must practice on paper and 3D mannequins before they are allowed to work on live models.
• Progressive Mastery - We use a progressive training system that gradually builds up mastery in our students.  They start with easier skills, such as observations and client check-in.  As they progress, we introduce them to more advanced skills such as hair strokes and drawing.  
• Supervised - They are then supervised by our experienced instructors for the live model sessions. 
• Pre-drawn - The design will be pre drawn on your face so you will be able to approve the look before the procedure is actually performed.  We give you the final say.
• 6-Week Touchup - Don't expect perfect brows after 1 session.  Permanent makeup is not a one and done process. Expect to get a 6-week touchup to do any fine tuning and to finalize your look.  Then expect to get a refresh touchup ever couple years. Touchups are not included in our pricing.  

2 hours.  Expect the students to be slower than the masters and pros.

Depends.  We use numbing cream, but there still might be a little sting.  Everybody makes it through. 

We can blend most colors depending on your needs.  We will consult with you before the procedure to figure out what works best with you.  We use dark brown instead of black pigment since black tends to turn a little greenish over time.  For greying, white hair, or blondes, we usually recommend taupe.  

Permanent makeup is a process not a one time event.  

6-Week Touchup - You should expect to get a 6-week touchup since the brows will heal light, patchy, or like the pigment didn't take.  The 6-week touchup is also helpful for extending the length of the procedure, fine tuning the shape and color, and finalizing the look.  You may need to get more than 1 touchup.

Refresh Touchups - After the 6-week touchup, it is common to get a refresh touchup every 1-2 years because the pigment fades over time.  Results vary for each person.

Note: There are no guarantees in permanent makeup.  It works for most, but some skin doesn't retain the pigment well. 

With permanent makeup, healing is difficult to predict.   It is different for every person.  Some heal perfectly. Some heal a little light.  Some heal like nothing was done.  We need to be conservative on the first procedure because we don't want your brows to heal too dark.  It is better to heal light then too dark.  At the touchup, we can see how your skin healed then make some adjustments, such as add more pigment if it heals light.  

There are no guarantees that your skin will take the pigment better with the adjustments, but we can usually make it better.  If it still heals like nothing was done after the touchup, then your skin probably just kicks out the pigment too easily and permanent makeup won't work for you.

We are appointment only. Check availability and book online at https://impressivebrows.com/all-locations or call/text 727-213-8801 M-Sat 10-5pm

No. We don't do touchups from other companies.   It is regular price for first time clients. Our touchup price is only for return clients.

Maybe.  We do minor corrections.  You can text a photo to 727-213-8801 so we can decide if you are eligible.   We may need you to come in for a consultation so we can take a look face to face.

Brows take 6 weeks to heal properly.  Most of the big changes occur in the first 3 weeks. Read more about the aftercare below. 

Our clients never have any issues with driving afterwards.  It's usually irritated, but not swollen much.

No, but some clients prefer to have a couple days off right after.  The brows can be very dark and a little irritated.  Also you need to keep them clean for at least a week so if you work in a dirty environment, you may want to do them when you can take a few days off.

We generally recommend waiting until after big events to get permanent makeup.  Healing can be light, patchy, or slightly unsymmetrical after the first procedure and you will most likely need to do a 6-week touchup to fine tune them to how you want them.  That being said, you can use makeup after a couple weeks if needed.

We require you to be at least 18 years old.  Although tattooing is harder on older skin, there is no upper age limit. 

• Women who are pregnant or nursing should not get permanent makeup because of the possibility of some chemicals entering the bloodstream.
• People with epilepsy, pacemakers, major heart problems, Lupus, organ transplants, Eczema, Dermatitis, Rosacea, Psoriasis, allergies to metal/color, keloids, and Accutane.
• You should get a doctors clearance for Chemotherapy, Diabetes, Thyroid, or Glaucoma.
• You might want to reconsider doing permanent makeup if you are allergic to lidocaine or epinephrine, have very oily skin, are prone to cold sores, are prone to hyperpigmentation, or have sun damaged skin.
• If you are on blood thinner, you may not want to get permanent makeup because the pigment will be pushed out quickly.
• Here is a good article on who should avoid permanent makeup with explanations. 

• Don't get a sunburn.  Stay out of the sun for at least a week.
• Don't do any waxing or facial treatments a week before you come.
• Dont do any threading a couple days before you come.
• No alcohol or coffee the day before and the day of the appointment.
• Don't shave your brows.  We integrate the tattooing into the brows you already have.
• Do wear your makeup if you think it will help us understand your style.
• Don't expect perfect brow immediately.  Permanent makeup is a process.  You should expect to do a 6 week touchup and possibly more.  Also expect to get refreshes ever 1-2 years.
• Read the FAQ and aftercare so that you will be prepared for the process.  Clients love permanent makeup, but it can be frustrating if you come with the wrong initial expectations.

If you have really oily skin and you did hair strokes, the pigment can spread easily and become less defined.  You might want to consider shading instead.    

Permanent makeup is growing in popularity for cancer patients that have gone through chemo therapy and lost some or most of their hair.  We recommend checking with your doctor first.  If your doctor gives you the thumbs up, we can do it 6 months after your last treatment.

Yes, but with the exceptions of translators or assistants, only clients are allowed in the procedure room.  We have a waiting room they can use.   

Maybe. We can partially cover up scarring.  We can put pigment over most older scars, but not if it is too new.  We recommend the scar be at least 6 months old.

No. We integrate the tattoo with your current brows. 

The deposit is nonrefundable, but we can transfer your deposit to a different day. 

Don't worry.  It is a normal part of the healing process.  Your brows will usually lighten or exfoliate (peel off) during the first couple weeks.  They could look light, patchy, or as if nothing was done.  The color will typically come back over the next few weeks.

Don't worry.  This is not unusual.  Everybody's skin heals differently.  Don't get discouraged.  Stick to the process.  Come in for the 6-week touchup so we can see how your brows healed and make adjustments.  That is why permanent makeup is at least a 2-step process.

Everybody's skin heals differently.   It's impossible to know how your tattoo will heal.  Don't get discouraged because your tattoo isn't healing like others.

Permanent makeup is slightly different than body tattooing.  It uses different pigments and is injected at a shallower depth.  It may heal lighter than your body tattoo healed.

If the shape is a little off or you want to make some changes, it is best to wait for the 6-week touchup and then we can do the fine tuning.  We need to see the shape and color after it has healed in order to be more accurate with the adjustments.  Also, it isn't good for your skin to work on it again until the 6 weeks are over.  Of course, if you have concerns, you are always welcome to stop by the spa for us to take a look.

Don't use makeup for at least a week, preferably two.  Makeup contains bacteria that may increase the chance of infection.  Wait until a few days after the brows are done exfoliating before adding makeup.

Healing cream is used to improve the appearance of the tattoo, maintains a brand new look, stop scabs from forming, seal incisions to keep bacteria from spreading, provide nutrients and vitamins that assist the healing, and reduce itchiness and irritation.

Start the process right away.  Wash with soap and water (Dab only. No scrubbing.) and use the healing cream twice a day for a week.  You need to keep it very clean for a week to precent bacteria and infection.

The healing cream we give you should last a week.  Don't put too much on because you want the oxygen to get to the skin.  The portion we give you is usually enough for most clients, but if your skin is still dry or peeling, you should get more.  It is important not to let the tattoo get too dry.  You can stop by the spa to get more or get some Aquaphor or Cetaphil at your local pharmacy.

We recommend not going to the beach for at least a couple weeks.  You need to keep the tattoo clean and out of the sun/saltwater for the first week or two.  Also avoid swimiming in pools for a couple weeks.  The chlorine affects the healing color.

We recommend not working out for a couple weeks.  Excessive sweating is not good for the helaing processs.

No becuase the brows need to properly heal before we do the touchup.  Doing a procedure before the 6 weeks can be hard on the skin.  Also the pigment hasn't had a chance to set to it's final color which makes it more difficult to make color adjustments at the touchup.

Yes.  It isn't unusual to need to do color correction at the 6 week touchup.  Just stick to the process and you should be ok.

Yes.  In fact, it is easy to widen the brow at the touchup.
