Not sure which service fits you? Start with a free consultation and we will match the technique to your skin, features and lifestyle.
Brows
Microblading uses a hand tool to draw fine, hair-like strokes and suits normal to dry skin that wants the most natural texture. Nano brows create similar strokes with a machine and a fine needle, which tends to heal crisper on a wider range of skin types. Powder and ombré brows build soft shading, ideal for oily skin and anyone who likes a filled-in, made-up look. Microblading and powder brows cost $350 to $700 and nano brows $650 to $850, depending on the artist level you choose. For a needle-free option, brow lamination and tint and threading shape and define the brows you already have.
Lips
Lip blushing adds soft, semi-permanent color that evens out the lip line and makes lips look fuller without filler. We also correct darker or uneven lip tones with lip neutralization. Lip blushing costs $350 to $700 depending on the artist level, and lip neutralization is $300.
Eyes
Permanent eyeliner ranges from a subtle lash line enhancement that makes lashes look thicker to a defined liner. Permanent eyeshadow, lash extensions and lash lift and tint complete the eye menu.
Paramedical and camouflage tattooing
Paramedical micropigmentation uses skin-toned pigment to make mature scars and stretch marks less noticeable, and 3D areola tattooing restores the appearance of the nipple and areola after breast surgery. Services include scar camouflage, inkless stretch mark treatment, areola reconstruction and freckles and beauty marks. These consultations are private and free.
Hair
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) places tiny pigment dots that mimic hair follicles to create the look of a fuller head of hair, a sharper hairline or camouflage for transplant scars. Pricing ranges from $1,500 to $3,000 depending on the area treated.
Skin and body
Plasma fibroblast, collagen rejuvenation therapy, facials and other skin treatments improve texture and firmness, and body contouring offers a non-surgical option for shaping.
Corrections and removal
Unhappy with old permanent makeup? Saline tattoo removal lifts pigment from brows, eyeliner and lips and is gentler than laser on thin facial skin. Lightening first usually gives a cleaner result before a correction.
How to choose the right service
- Skin type matters. Oily skin and large pores usually heal better with powder or nano brows than with microblading.
- Think about upkeep. Most permanent makeup fades gradually and looks best with a refresh every one to two years.
- Bring photos. Pictures of looks you like, and of your current brows or lips without makeup, make the consultation faster and more accurate.
Frequently asked questions
How long does permanent makeup last?
Most brow, lip and eyeliner work lasts one to three years before it needs a refresh, depending on your skin type, sun exposure and skincare routine.
Does permanent makeup hurt?
We apply numbing cream before and during the procedure. Most clients describe the sensation as uncomfortable rather than painful.
How do I prepare for my appointment?
Avoid alcohol, excess caffeine and retinol on the treatment area in the days before your visit, and arrive without makeup on your brows or lips. See our before-your-appointment guide.
How much does permanent makeup cost?
See our guide to microblading and permanent makeup prices in Los Angeles. Healthcare financing is available, so you can spread the cost over monthly payments.
