PMU Consultation

This listed 30-minute, no-charge consultation is a place to discuss permanent makeup goals before choosing an application, touch-up, correction, or removal path. It lets the decision happen before anything permanent is undertaken.

Bring your preferences and existing work so the provider can explain the current options, boundaries, timing, and realistic expectations. The consultation is about clarity, not a promise that every requested result is possible.

The listed consultation duration is 30 minutes. That gives you a defined window to discuss shape, color, existing pigment, lifestyle, healing, and the next step you are considering.

Prepare your most important questions in advance so the conversation can stay focused. You can also decide that you need more time before booking a procedure.

The current page lists the PMU Consultation at $0. Booking details can change, so confirm the live appointment information when selecting a time.

A no-charge consultation does not obligate you to purchase a procedure. Ask about any future service, preparation, or deposit separately before committing.

Yes. Bring clear photos of brows, eyeliner, lips, or other permanent makeup, including older images if the color or shape has changed. Photos help give the provider context before examining the area.

Also bring examples of the shape, softness, or color you prefer, while understanding that an example cannot guarantee an identical result on your face.

You can describe every area you are considering and ask how the options differ. The provider can help organize the conversation around your priorities, existing work, timing, and suitability.

Thirty minutes may be best used to identify the most important decision first. Ask whether a separate consultation or procedure appointment is needed for additional areas.

Tell the provider when and where it was applied, how many touch-ups you had, what pigment or technique was used if known, and how it healed. Existing color and shape can affect future options.

Do not assume new work can simply cover or correct old work. Ask whether assessment, removal, fading, or a different plan should come first.

Yes. Bring language for the result you want—soft, defined, natural, warm, cool, fuller-looking, or understated—and ask how color and shape choices relate to your features and existing pigment.

The provider can explain what is realistic, but the final result cannot be guaranteed from a consultation. Take time to consider a permanent decision before proceeding.

Share allergies, skin conditions, irritation, scarring, sensitivities, healing history, medications, and any reaction to pigments, cosmetics, adhesives, or topical products.

Mention active rash, infection, open skin, sunburn, or unusual changes. The provider may recommend waiting or medical evaluation before discussing a procedure further.

Tell the provider about current medications and supplements when they may affect sensitivity, bleeding, healing, or skin response. Include topical prescriptions and recent changes.

Do not stop prescribed medication to prepare for PMU. Ask your healthcare professional about any medical concern and give the spa an accurate history.

Tell the provider if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or nursing before discussing a future procedure. Products, pigments, numbing steps, and healing considerations may need review.

Individual circumstances differ, so ask your healthcare professional about timing and suitability. The consultation does not make a permanent makeup procedure automatically appropriate.

Mention recent injectables, fillers, threads, peels, lasers, waxing, facial surgery, dental work, or other procedures, including dates and areas treated. Healing skin may need time before PMU.

Ask the practitioner who performed the recent procedure about restrictions and follow their clinical aftercare first.

Yes. If existing PMU no longer feels right, describe the color, shape, age, touch-ups, and any previous removal attempts. The provider can explain that removal decisions depend on the existing work and skin response.

Do not expect a consultation to guarantee complete removal or a specific number of sessions. Scarring, irritation, infection, or unusual reactions should be evaluated appropriately.

The consultation can clarify the planned direction, color conversation, shape goals, process, maintenance, and uncertainty. It cannot show with certainty how pigment will heal on your skin.

Ask what can vary and what follow-up may be needed. A realistic discussion is more valuable than an assurance that the healed result will be identical to a reference image.

No. The consultation is a decision-making appointment, and you can leave with information without scheduling an application. Take time to review the options if you are unsure.

Ask about next steps, preparation, timing, and any booking requirements before deciding. Permanent work should never feel rushed or pressured.

Ask the spa about its current guest policy when booking. If another person joins, keep the conversation centered on your preferences, medical context, and informed decision.

A support person can help you remember questions, but the final choice about your body and permanent makeup remains yours.

Say so directly. Discuss the degree of change you want, how often you wear makeup, your daily routine, maintenance expectations, and what would make the result feel too strong or unfamiliar.

You can ask more questions, postpone, or choose not to proceed. Feeling ready and informed is part of a good consultation outcome.

Yes, you can ask about planning before a wedding, celebration, photos, or travel, but the consultation itself does not guarantee that a procedure or healed result will be available by the event.

Allow time for decision-making, scheduling, healing, and follow-up if you later choose permanent makeup. Avoid rushing a lasting choice around a fixed date.

Ask how the proposed service may change over time, whether a touch-up could be expected, how lifestyle and sun exposure may affect appearance, and what aftercare would involve.

Maintenance varies by service and individual response. Request the current provider guidance rather than relying on generic PMU timelines.

You may choose a future service, ask for more information, pursue removal or correction guidance, or decide to wait. Keep notes about the proposed direction and any preparation requirements.

Seek medical advice for skin or healing concerns and do not change prescribed care based only on a spa conversation. Book the next step only when it fits your priorities.
