Guides & Advice from
Your PMU Artists

These are the questions we get asked most often in the studio, written out properly so you can read them before you book rather than trying to take it all in during a consultation. They are written by Nadya, who has been doing permanent makeup since 2018, and they reflect how we actually work — including the parts that are less flattering, like which treatments do not suit every skin type and when you are better off waiting.

For prices and what each session involves, see services, or book a free consultation and we will talk it through in person.
