Permanent makeup pricing is easiest to compare when the initial appointment, perfecting touch-up and possible multi-session needs are stated separately. A low advertised starting price can be misleading if the touch-up is assumed to be included.
Frenkel PMU House is located in Leander, Texas, and serves clients from the greater Austin area. These are the current published prices and the realistic first-cycle totals when one standard perfecting appointment is needed.
What is included in the initial price?
The initial PMU appointment includes consultation, a customized plan, mapping or design review, color selection and the procedure. Appointments commonly take two to three hours. The design is approved before pigment is placed.
A $50 deposit is required to reserve the appointment and is applied toward the service. Confirm current deposit and rescheduling terms before finalizing your booking.
The $190 perfecting touch-up is separate
A PMU perfecting appointment is scheduled 4–12 weeks after the initial service when needed. It is booked and paid for separately at $190. The artist uses the healed result, not the fresh result, to decide what should be refined.
For standard brows, lip blush and eyeliner, one touch-up is a common first-cycle planning example, but individual retention varies. The table above is a planning tool, not a promise that every client will need exactly one session.
Why dark lip neutralization costs are different
Dark lip neutralization is a staged color-balancing process. The initial appointment is $340, and most clients need two to four additional sessions at $190 each, spaced 4–12 weeks apart.
That creates a common planning range of $720–$1,100 for the initial session plus two to four additional sessions. An exact final shade or session count cannot be guaranteed because natural lip tone and healed response guide the series.
What affects long-term value?
Price should be considered alongside healed work, safety, consultation quality and how the artist handles unsuitable candidates. A careful artist may recommend a different technique, more fading time or no procedure at all.
Maintenance is commonly considered around 12–18 months. After 18 months, Frenkel PMU House treats the appointment as a new procedure. This allows the design, color and skin to be reassessed rather than automatically adding pigment to an old plan.
Questions to ask when comparing PMU prices
Ask whether the quoted price is for the initial appointment only, whether touch-ups are separate, who performs the service, whether you can see verified healed work and how previous pigment is evaluated.
Also ask about licensing, single-use tools, sterilization and aftercare support. Price matters, but permanent makeup is placed in the skin and should not be chosen from a discount alone.
Non-permanent beauty options
For clients who want a lower-commitment option, Frenkel PMU House also offers brow lamination for $90, lash lift and tint for $95, and a lash-lift plus brow-lamination combination for $149. These treatments are temporary and do not require a PMU touch-up.
A consultation can help you decide whether permanent makeup or a temporary service better matches your goals, schedule and budget.
