FAQ BROWS
We’ve answered some of our most frequently asked questions (FAQs) below to help you understand our treatments and to make the right treatment choice for you!
Firstly…
Are you pregnant or breastfeeding?
Do you have dark skin and want the lip blush treatment?
Do you have pre-existing Permanent Makeup that has been done elsewhere?
Do you suffer from cold sores?
If you have answered ‘Yes’ to any of the above questions, you will need to speak to a member of our team prior to booking your appointment as you may not be suitable for some of our treatments.
Please note: For PMU some skins will not retain the crispness of a hair stroke and some skins may require more retouches than others. We will not carry out work that we feel is inappropriate or work with clients whose expectations we feel we cannot manage.
AM I SUITABLE FOR PERMANENT MAKEUP
Most people are suitable for some form of Permanent Makeup or Aesthetics treatment.
At the clinic, Jenny will explore with you which treatments will suit you best. This is a one-to-one consultation and includes a discussion of your desired results and expectations and any features you wish to correct or balance. From this discussion, Jenny will recommend the specific treatments she believes will achieve the effect you want and explain the process.
IS PERMENANT MAKEUP SAFE?
When performed correctly by expert, trusted technicians Permanent Makeup and Aesthetics treatments are extremely safe. At The Studio you are in safe hands!
For Permanent Makeup, all of our pigments are made of natural minerals that are specifically selected for their safe, non-toxic and hypoallergenic properties.
Permanent Makeup treatments are trusted by technicians and cosmetic surgeons throughout the world. Ophthalmologists actually recommend eye procedures for women sensitive to conventional cosmetics and Permanent Makeup also serves medical purposes for people recovering from breast cancer, alopecia and chemotherapy patients.
HOW LONG DO BROWS LAST?
All skins are different - it is recommended having a Top Up 10-12 months to keep your brows looking fresh. But the colour will gradually fade out over 2 years
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER MY TREATMENT?
Once your first treatment is complete, Jenny will send you away with full aftercare verbal and written to be followed exactly as this is a crucial part to ensure good results!
We would then schedule in a touch up treatment around a month. During the touch up we would review how the brows have healed, adjust any imperfections along with the colour and shape where needed.
WILL I BE ABLE TO GO BACK TO WORK STRAIGHT AFTERWARDS?
For sure. Typically the area around your treatment may be slightly red and the colour will be darker as the skin has been abraded.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS?
You will have a consultation before your treatment to discuss expectations, realistic goals, colour and shapes. A eyebrow template is drawn in makeup for review and once you and Jenny are both happy, the chosen pigment shade is infused using a tiny needle into the dermal layer of skin.
DOES IT HURT?
Topical numbing cream is applied to the brows and throughout treatment - feedback is discomfort is around 2/3 out of 10.
DO YOU FOLLOW HEALTH AND SAFETY STANDARDS?
Yes! Jenny prides herself on offering luxurious treatments in a clean and safe environment.

ARE THERE PLENTY OF LIP & BROW COLOURS TO CHOOSE FROM?
Jenny has a very diverse range of lip colours from nudes to deep berries for all skin types. Bring in your everyday lipstick to help Jenny understand your vision to discuss in consultation.
Everyones lips have a different undertones which will limit expectations in what is realistic. PMU can only add more colour, define and brighten existing lip tissue.
If you are unsure on which colour to choose; Jenny will recommend which is best for your skin type. You can always go deeper/more intense on the second
