Pay close attention to this before getting semi-permanent makeup! The PRICE must reflect reality. It cannot equal the cost of eyelash extensions or semi-permanent nails. The result usually lasts for more than a year, so a professional cannot work cheaply! The price includes professionalism, experience, the cost of equipment and good-quality pigments. All of this costs money.
Dear ladies! You can save money on decorative cosmetics, because they can be washed off, just as at the hairdresser the hair will eventually grow back or a failed colour will eventually wash out, but do not look for cheap services in permanent makeup. It is your face! You would have to wear someone’s bad work on your face for a long time, or pay dearly (and that is far more expensive than the procedure itself) to have it removed! When you are offered semi-permanent makeup at a ridiculous price, then either they are cutting corners on pigments (which are known to be full of harmful substances, with consequences), or they have just finished training and will experiment on you. And this leads to a sad result, unfortunately… But the price should not be too high either, as is usually the case in some heavily advertised salons, where the cost by far does not match the quality. As you know, there are people who may work in long-established and well-known salons but have no experience in the profession, yet because of the capital invested in advertising, the price will be high. Remember, quality cannot come at a cheap cost!
If you have decided to get semi-permanent makeup, research thoroughly before deciding where to have it done. Book an informational appointment if something suddenly confuses you in a phone conversation, before you trust your specialist. Ask whatever interests you, whatever concerns you, even if your best friend has recommended them! Ask dozens of questions, even silly ones. Your questions will not corner a capable professional. Because, as you know, there are no silly questions, only answers to them. Do not hesitate to ask about the smallest detail. It is not as frightening as the consequences of omissions and misunderstandings. Do your research, analyse it, so that you do not have to regret it later!!! I was encouraged to write such an appeal by a growing number of clients who come to have poor-quality tattoos corrected.
