Permanent makeup is a two step process that can last anywhere up to 5 years depending on your body chemistry and your daily activities.

Some things that can factor in with the longevity are:
• combination/oily skin
• how much you sweat
• your daily skin regimen• sun exposure
• anemic clients

Absolutely. At Hudson Beauty Bar, we take highest measures to prevent cross contamination and infection control is our highest priority.

The needles and microblading tools are all sterile and disposables and we use the highest rated pigments in the market.

We also offer allergy patch tests (although the chances are very low - 1 out of ~500 people).

The procedure involves puncturing of the skin so you may feel some discomfort. However, we use topical anesthetic (5% lidocaine) that will help you stay relaxed during your procedure and I will be there by your side walking you through the process.

These three techniques are popular methods in the field of permanent makeup, specifically for enhancing eyebrow appearance. Each method offers unique benefits and creates distinct looks:

• Microblading: This technique uses a fine, pen-like tool with a row of needles to create thin, hair-like strokes that mimic the natural hairs in your eyebrows. It is ideal for filling sparse areas and creating a very natural-looking brow. The results typically last 12-18 months before requiring a touch-up.

• Nano Brows: Similar to microblading, nano brows involve a digital tool that uses an ultra-fine needle. This method allows for even more precision and is less invasive than microblading. It's perfect for creating detailed hair strokes with minimal trauma to the skin, making it suitable for clients with sensitive or thin skin. Nano brows generally last longer than microblading, up to 2-3 years.

• Powder Brows: This technique uses a small machine to insert pigment into the skin, mimicking the appearance of conventional eyebrow makeup. Unlike the hair-like strokes of microblading or nano brows, powder brows result in a soft, powdered look that's more filled in. It's great for those who prefer a fuller brow and typically lasts 1-3 years depending on the client's skin type and lifestyle.

Things have changed SO much in our industry and the pigment companies have understood and realized that trends change over a short period of time.

Our pigments now are meant to fade, but is considered permanent because we are tattooing in between your dermis and epidermis. However we cannot give you an estimate of when it will fade or how long it will take to completely fade because of your body chemistry.

Even with one stroke, one side made fade faster than the other! Funny and interesting how our skin works, right?
