Question 2

What if I don't know which service is right for me?

Accepted Answer

No problem! We will guide you on this at the time of your appointment!

During your PMU appointment, the first portion is dedicated to a full consultation where we assess your skin, discuss your desired outcome, and determine the ideal technique. You can also send photos ahead of time if you'd like guidance before booking.

Question 3

Do you offer consultations?

Accepted Answer

We offer free virtual consultations via email at hello@studiovetiver.com. You're welcome to send clear photos and questions, and we’ll recommend the best service for you!

We do not offer in-person consultations ahead of time. When you book a PMU appointment, the beginning of that appointment includes a full consultation with shape mapping, color and technique discussion tailored to your skin, lifestyle, and facial anatomy.

If you know which artist you'd like to work with and want to chat specifically with them, you can contact them directly! All of our artists' contact information can be found on our "Artists" page!

Question 4

Is permanent makeup a type of tattooing?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Any time pigment is implanted into the skin it is considered a tattoo. However, permanent makeup (PMU) pigments are very different from traditional body tattoo ink. PMU pigment is formulated specifically for the face and is designed to fade with time.

Question 5

Does permanent makeup hurt?

Accepted Answer

Most clients experience minimal discomfort. We use high-quality topical anesthetic beforehand and throughout the procedure to maximize comfort. Pain tolerance varies, but most clients describe it as very mild. Many even fall asleep during the process!

Question 6

Can I workout after?

Accepted Answer

You need to refrain from all facial sweating for 7 days after receiving a permanent makeup service. No exceptions! Sweating on your face during the initial healing phase will push pigment out of your skin and have a negative effect on your retention.

You do not need to be sedentary during this time, but you need to avoid high intensity workouts, hot yoga, sauna sessions, etc.

Use your discretion during this time. You want to protect your investment and the hard work your artist put in on your service!

Question 7

How long does permanent makeup last?

Accepted Answer

Everyone is different! On average, permanent makeup lasts 1–3 years, depending on factors such as skin type, aftercare, pigment retention, lifestyle, and sun exposure. Refreshes are typically recommended every 12–24 months to maintain color and shape.

Question 8

Can permanent makeup be removed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. PMU can typically be lightened or removed using a laser, and oftentimes it's a great and easy option if you want to start over. We don’t offer removal in-house but can refer you to professionals we trust. If you have existing work, you must send us photos before booking.

Question 9

How much are your services?

Accepted Answer
