Frequently Asked Questions about Our Services

General

  1. How long does it last? Permanent Makeup is often described as semi-permanent makeup. I feel this is misleading. When you are implanting pigment or ink into the skin in any manner, there is no guarantee how long it will last. Most brow clients will want a touchup between 1 and 3 years to keep their color crisp and defined as they will soften with time. Lips, 2-5 years, same for eyeliner and areola tattoos. For some people, they will eventually go away completely and for others, they will have some about of ink in their skin permanently. Every persons skin and lifestyle is different and affects longevity differently. Proper care of your permanent makeups will help get the longest lasting color.
  2. What do I need to do before my appointment? Our Pre and Post care page gives you all the information you need for taking care of your skin before (and after) your appointment to ensure the best healing process. Reading pre-care before you even book your appointment can help you pick when to book your appointment. Some common skincare treatments (like using retinols or getting Botox) require a time gap before getting your services, so read thoroughly! Prior to your appointment you will receive a text or email link with a digital copy of our necessary medical forms, please fill them out before you come in.
  3. Should I wear makeup to my appointment? It depends on the service you are getting.
    – For Brow appointments please wear your normal makeup to your appointment so we can see how you style your brows.
    – For Lip appointments makeup is not necessary. Feel free to bring a lipstick or a photo reference of a color you are looking to match to your appointment.
    – For Eyeliner appointments please arrive with no eye makeup on. Feel free to bring photo references of styles of eyeliner you like.
    – For Microchanneling and Plasma Fibroblast appointments please show up to your appointment with makeup-free skin.

  4. How long will I be red after the service?
    – Permanent Makeup Services: Some people do not get red at all, but if you do, it is typically gone within a few hours.
    – Microchanneling Services: 2-5 days.
    – Plasma Services: The crusts will remain on the skin for 7-12 days

  5. Can I take any painkillers for the service? (Advil, Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen) :
    – Tylenol/Acetaminophen is okay to take before the service and after the service.
    – Advil/Ibuprofen is okay to take after the service is complete but NOT before or during the service.
  6. Do you have any options for men?
    We do! None of our services are exclusively for women and we would love to be the ones to help you out! Here are just a few examples of the services offered:
    -Brows: perfect, polished brows are not the only way to get brows done. If you are looking to fill in patches or even out the shape, we can subtly enhance your brows while still keeping a natural, masculine look.
    -Scar Therapy: Everyone has scars, David
    -Everything else.
  7. Do you do gender affirming services?
    We absolutely do! Anyone and everyone is welcome in our shop, and we want to help you to feel like the true you! Beauty transcends gender, we are here to enhance your features the way YOU want them
    -Want more feminine or more masculine brows? We got you!
    -Have scars from top surgery? We got you! Microchanneling can reduce the appearance and texture of scarring, and camouflaging tattooing techniques can blend the scar into the surrounding skin.
    -Have uneven or no nipples from top surgery? We got you! [See our page on Areola Repigmentation for more information]
    -This list is not comprehensive, if there’s something you want done, just ask!
  8. What is a model spot?
    Model Spots are appointments where our apprentices are doing the services. If you book a Model Spot, you are joining us in our students’ learning journey and helping them build their portfolio.
    Our students work on 1-on-1 with their instructor on these services in a hands-on teaching environment. You will receive a full consultation and work together with your artist to find the perfect result for you!
    Model Spots are $350 and unlike most model services, a complimentary touchup is included at 8-12 week out. These spots typically take about 4 hours, though it depends on the type of service offered, its often less.
    Due to the nature of these appointments, Model Spots are not offered regularly and we only have a handful at a time available. We post about available Model Spots on our social media accounts, but we also have a waitlist if you would like us to reach out if one becomes available. To be added to our waitlist just reach out and let us know!
  9. Can I be a model?
    If the answer is yes to all of the following questions, you would make a great model!
    -I am interested in the service you are offering
    -I have never been tattooed in the selected treatment area
    -I do not have any health issues that affect healing
    -I agree to my image being used for education and marketing purposes

Permanent Makeup

  1. Does Permanent Makeup hurt? For permanent makeup, brows are a breeze Clients average a 2 on a 1-10 pain scale. Eyeliner clients average 2-5 for pain. Most say its more uncomfortable/hard to relax than it is painful. Lips are tender, 4-5 for pain on average, but nothing unmanageable. Skin is numbed before the procedure starts, then numbed again after the first pass to ensure comfort for the duration of your session.
  2. Are you going to shave off my eyebrows? No! You get to keep all your brow hair. We clean up the shape after designing your brow, but the rest of the hair stays on. In fact, its important in creating your brow so that we can follow your natural hair growth patterns to create the most natural looking brow for you.
  3. Can I get Lip Blush if I have lip filler? Yes, these two services actually work very well together!
    If you plan to get both services done around the same time just remember that there must be a two week gap between any filler/botox services and any permanent makeup services.
  4. I had permanent makeup done before, but it needs a touchup, what do I book? If the color is just faded and needs a straight touchup, you can book an Annual Touchup – New to Treja Beauty. If you’re unhappy with the color or shape, extra sessions or some removal may be required. If you would like to know your plan in advance, please book a Complimentary Consultation, otherwise, you can just book an annual touchup and we can assess at the session and come up with your plan.
  5. When should I come in for an Annual Touchup? An Annual Touchup is the appointment you make to bring your old Permanent Makeup back to life. It is not a yearly maintenance appointment, more of a periodic appointment, and there is no strict timeline for when you should come in. 1-3 years for Brows is standard, Lips and Eyeliner last longer. It is not necessary to book within that time if you do not feel like you need it. A good sign that it is time to book an Annual Touchup is that you feel yourself wanting to use makeup to enhance your tattoo more often than not.
  6. Do you do corrective permanent makeup?
    We do! Treja and Harmony specialize in corrective work and would love to help you out!
    Since corrective work can vary drastically depending on what your current ink looks like, we do require a consultation before booking any corrective services. Please visit our booking page or contact us to set up a complimentary consultation!

Removal

  1. What is saline removal and why is it better than laser? Saline removal happens very much the way traditional tattooing happens, in that an all natural saline solution is implanted into the skin with needles. The salinity is such that the skin opens up and the ink molecules are released. As the skin heals, the ink comes out. In laser removal, ink is dissolved with a laser, and sometimes pushed deeper into the skin. Scarring is a common side effect of laser removal, but with saline, the condition of the skin is actually improved in some cases.
  2. Can you remove my tattoo?
    Possibly! For small body tattoos and most types of permanent makeup, we can do saline removal to lift and lighten it. The amount we can lift the ink depends on a lot of different factors, including location, ink saturation, and skin care. Drop on by for a quick removal consultation and we’ll let you know what your options are!
