When a client comes in for either a consult or initial appointment, our technicians discuss the client’s goals including what they want to achieve. We are happy for our clients to bring in photos, social media or any other inspirations to help further guide our technicians.
Each Artist lets the client know exactly what to expect and lets them know different possible outcomes depending on their skin types and desired look. Our consultations are listening sessions where the technician listens to each of their client’s wants and needs to administer the best look to enable them to feel completely satisfied and live their most beautiful life.

After the procedure, the area of service will appear brighter or darker than what it is intended to look like. Some swelling may occur and some redness may show depending on each client, however, this will reduce in a few hours. Brows are to be left alone for 48 hours and we require our clients to apply grape seed oil for 10 minutes, twice a day for two weeks. Lips are to be kept moist with Aquaphor throughout the day for two weeks as needed. Eyes are left alone for two weeks. Each area should be kept free of any moisture, makeup, direct sun exposure, and friction for two weeks. Color following the initial application will fade and show more of the true color after the healing period.

Everybody is different when it comes to sensitivity. We do our very best to make sure you are comfortable from start to finish. We ask you to arrive 30 minutes prior to your appointment time to start numbing. You will be numbed with our top of the line numbing cream which will ease about 20% of the discomfort. Once your technician starts the actual procedure, she will numb you again to make sure sensitivity is reduced as much as possible. A lot of clients describe the experience similar to intensified tweezing or threading, while some fall asleep during the procedure.

For the first 2 weeks, we ask to be extremely careful with the area; meaning no makeup, sun exposure, moisture or friction of any kind. You will experience some scabbing a few days after the procedure. Once the scabbing has finished, you may apply any makeup to the area and wash your face normally. 21 days after the procedure, we require you to come back for a perfecting visit (touch up) to complete the process. Understand this is a multi session process so a perfecting visit is crucial.

Permanent makeup will last anywhere from 1-3 years. However, skin type, lifestyle and maintenance all take in part of the duration. We recommend our clients to come back yearly for a color boost to freshen up the area and the color and keep it looking good as new.

Most people are tired of constantly filling in your brows, putting on eyeliner or lipstick and are looking for a more permanent solution. If this describes you, then this is for you. Also, if you have suffered from some sort of hair loss or are looking for a more natural look without putting in so much effort, you are a good candidate for permanent makeup. Permanent makeup is also great for people who are active, always on the go, busy moms, people in the entertainment industry who need to look good at any given time, or women who simply want to spend less time in front of the mirror.

Monique Biggins believes that people are looking for the highest possible quality of work. As stated, remember that this is your face and there is no room for compromise. Only the highest quality of work should suffice. When it comes to your face, accept nothing less than a first class result with no one else but a master practitioner. Remember this is your face, you want perfect permanent makeup.

There is always another client after you so time is very important. My goal is to have you in & out!🤍
-Lastly, I would appreciate if clients were to come picture-ready. I do understand that some clients do not like pictures of themselves, but there are so many more angles that I can get that won’t show your face. I take pride in my work and content is a huge part of my job and getting more clients. Not all pictures will make it to social
media depending on the lighting and angles, but when time allows, I would appreciate it if I could. If a client totally declines a picture, that is fine too.
