Please allow two hours per appointment for permanent makeup. It might not take that long, but this allows time to work with you to choose the perfect shape and color for your skin tone, as well as time for you to numb and to give you the look you desire.

Why two appointments?
Permanent Makeup usually requires two applications with at least a month healing time in between.

It will also help your color to last longer.
