PERMANENT MAKEUP FAQ’s

  • Providing that there are no medical contra-indications, anyone over the age of 18 can have permanent make up. Before your treatment date you will receive medical forms to complete. A patch test is also required to ensure there are no adverse reactions to the pigment and anaesthetic used during the treatment. I ensure a full consultation is always carried out before the treatments begins.

  • The pigment used is designed to break down in the skin over time. Permanent Cosmetic treatments can last several years, but this is dependent on skin tone, skin type, sun exposure, lifestyle and medication. With this in mind, a colour boost appointment is recommended around 12-18 months after your initial treatment.

  • Semi-permanent makeup is a two-part treatment designed to achieve the best possible healed results. Your initial appointment and top-up appointment are charged for separately.

    Your initial appointment will take longer, as we’ll carefully map out your brows/lips, select the most suitable pigment and create your desired shape and look.

    Your top-up appointment is shorter and takes place once your brows/lips have healed. This allows us to perfect the results by filling in any areas where the pigment hasn’t retained as well and refreshing the colour where needed.

  • Please allow a minimum of 2 hours for your permanent cosmetic treatment. While the procedure may take less time, appointments are scheduled to ensure there is no pressure or rushing, allowing for the best possible results.

  • A patch test is recommended before any cosmetic treatment and must be carried out at least 48 hours before your appointment.

    However, if you have previously had permanent makeup treatments, a patch test is not always needed. if you are unsure whether you need a patch test, please get in touch.

    Please note: Patch tests are mandatory for all brow lamination and lash lift and tint treatments and must be completed at least 48 hours before your appointment.

  • Permanent makeup is generally safe when carried out by a trained and qualified professional who follows strict hygiene practices and uses sterile equipment and suitable pigments.

    As with any cosmetic treatment, there are some potential risks, including allergic reactions, infection and uneven pigment retention.

    Choosing an experienced artist and following all pre-care and aftercare advice carefully will help minimise risks and support the best possible healed results.

    Your safety and comfort are always a priority, so please get in touch if you have any concerns or questions before your appointment.

  • Permanent makeup can be removed using laser removal or saline removal.

    If you have previous permanent makeup done elsewhere that is still visible and would like a cover up, we will need to review if enough pigment has faded or if removal may be required. Please send us a photo BEFORE booking an appointment, so we can provide advice.

  • Yes, a £50 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your initial PMU appointment. This is taken at the time of online booking and will be deducted from the total cost of your treatment.

    The remaining balance is payable on the day of your appointment and can be settled by cash, credit or debit card, contactless payment, bank transfer, or Klarna.

  • The cost of your PMU treatment is divided between your initial appointment and your 6–8 week touch-up appointment, as these are priced separately.

    A deposit is required when booking both your initial and touch-up appointments, with the remaining balance payable on the day of treatment. When booking online, you also have the option to pay your remaining balance using Klarna instalments.

  • Appointments can be easily booked online at a time that suits you. If you’re unsure which treatment would be best for you, or if you’d like to ask any questions before booking, please get in touch with Jenna via the contact page, who will be happy to help and guide you.

  • Permanent makeup isn’t suitable for everyone. For your safety, treatment may not be recommended in the following circumstances:

    • Under 18s: You must be at least 18 years old to have permanent makeup.

    • Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Treatment is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We recommend waiting at least two months after giving birth or stopping breastfeeding to allow your hormones time to settle.

    • Certain skin conditions: Including eczema, psoriasis or skin prone to keloid scarring in or around the treatment area.

    • Active infections or skin irritation: Including open wounds, infections or active cold sores in the treatment area. If you are prone to cold sores and are considering lip blush, you may need preventative antiviral medication. Please consult your healthcare professional before treatment.

    • Blood-thinning medication: If you take blood-thinning medication, please consult your doctor before booking, as this may affect your suitability for treatment.

    Your safety is a priority. When you book an appointment, you’ll receive a health and suitability questionnaire to complete beforehand. This helps to identify any additional contraindications and determine whether the treatment is suitable for you.

    If you’re unsure whether you’re suitable for permanent makeup, please get in touch before booking.

TREATMENT FAQS

  • Yes! Once healed, the result is a natural-looking lip tint that can be worn on its own with a little lip balm.

    If you’re looking for a more vibrant healed result, this can be achieved by layering more colour during the treatment - just mention this during your consultation.

  • Everyone has different pain tolerances - some clients find it uncomfortable at times, whilst others will be falling asleep during the treatment. We will apply numbing throughout to manage pain and make sure you’re comfortable.

  • Yes, you can get permanent makeup with oily skin. In fact, this is a perk of having the treatment, as you don’t need to worry about your makeup smudging or coming off! You may find that you need more frequent top ups compared to those with dry/combination skin.

  • There are three PMU brow styles available at Jenna Turner Permanent Cosmetics: Powder Brows, Hairstroke Brows and Combination Brows.

    Powder Brows are designed to mimic your brow makeup - we use shading to create a soft, powdery result, that gives a more defined and polished look overall.

    Hairstroke Brows are perfect for those that like a more natural look. The goal is to look like really good, natural brows when healed.

    Combination Brows are a mix of both shading and hairstrokes, with soft fluffy fronts, and more defined arch and tails.
