Frequently Asked Questions About Permanent Cosmetics

Also referred to as permanent makeup, micropigmentation, dermal pigmentation, and cosmetic tattooing. This is a permanent process where you tattoo pigment into the second layer of your skin, also known as the dermal layer.

Permanent cosmetics is a great way to restore color and definition in your eyebrows, helps define or accent your eyes, and enhance the color/shape of your lips. Permanent cosmetics is a great way to achieve beauty in a timely and effortless way at our beauty salon.

The process is known as cosmetic tattooing and like other tattoos – it is permanent. However, that doesn’t mean that over time, it won’t soften or fade. Like tattoos, cosmetic makeup can be affected with exposure to the sun, certain skin products and natural aging. In some cases, a person’s health can have a great affect, too. If you do noticed your permanent cosmetics starting to fade, periodic color touchup appointments are available!

Our staff is encouraged to stay up to date with current OSHA classes, regarding the strict practices in order to prevent cross contamination. Permanent cosmetics has been a safe process for many years and offers a safe and permanent alternative to applied makeup products.

Microblading is a self-enhancement service like semi-permanent tattooing. It uses small, fine-point needles that make up a disposable blade and handle. This tool helps scratch and deposit colored pigment to your skin while keeping it nice and fine. We also apply a numbing cream to minimize any discomfort that our clients might feel during the procedure.

The benefits of microblading are extensive. It is perfect for those who have little to no eyebrows or have experienced hair loss due to medical conditions or aging. Microblading gives you the appearance of naturally full eyebrows. With coloring mixing, we can use a custom color that matches your hair and skin tone. Microblading looks multidimensional and usually last 12-18 months before needing a refresh. Interested? Call us today!

Scalp micropigmentation is a highly successful remedy designed specifically for men experiencing various forms of hair loss, such as male pattern baldness, thinning hair, receding hairlines, alopecia, and scarring from hair transplants. It is a non-surgical, long-lasting solution that is suitable for nearly all individuals. This technique employs micro-needles to implant pigment into the scalp, producing the illusion of small hair follicles. This, in turn, enhances the appearance of thicker and fuller hair, offering a closely cropped or buzz-cut look while also concealing any transplant scars.

Customer Testimonials

Sutton Sauer
Paula, owner/stylist is very talented and can take your "vision" and put it on your head, brows or eyes! Have been getting haircuts and color from her for years and she always works extremely hard to make sure I am happy. But don't just take my word for it- her brow and liner work received a glowing assessment from the esthetician at the Four Seasons Spa, completely unprompted by me ! Would recommend without hesitation. Services: Eyebrows, Shampoo & Conditioning, Permanent Makeup, Eyebrow Beautification, Haircut, Hairstyling, Microblading, Eyeliners
Dawna Norton-Smith
Paula did the microblading on my eyebrows and did an amazing job on them. I couldn’t be happier. Can’t wait for her to do my permanent eyeliner. Beautiful results
Billeigh Barackman
Paula did my permanent eyeliner. She did an amazing job and was so good about making sure I was comfortable. I wouldn’t change a thing. Having someone tattoo that close to your eyes and doing something permanent on your face, it’s important to find someone good. Paula is the person! Highly recommend!!! Beautiful results · Professional products
Theresa Scydick
I had been wanting permanent eyebrows and eye liner for a long time because I am light completed and have blond hair my original eyebrows were so light you could not see them.Paula was GREAT she made me feel so relaxed because of course I was very nervous. She knows what she is doing,walked me through each step and knew exactly what colors to choose for my brows I am so very very happy with her and the results. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for permanent makeup.
Jan Meacham
Paula is great, personally and professionally. The only one I have trusted to cut my hair, once every month, for many many years. Her shop is clean and a really comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Debbie Taylor
This was my first visit today , Saturday September 16. Brandi was my stylist and she did a phenomenal job! She did this while unfairly being harassed by Mr. Bully And Mrs. Spoiled. Everyone handled the situation very professionally of course except for Mr. Bully and Mrs. Spoiled. This is definitely my new place!!! Let me know if you need another witness.
Jennifer Hobbs Zahn
I've been a client/friend of Paula's for over 20 years. Not only has she taken great care of my hair over the years, but she's done permanent makeup for me for eyeliners, lip liners, as well as eyebrow corrections and improvements of their shape and texture. She's highly trained and completely professional. If you have any of these types of needs or desires to improve in the areas I mentioned, you'll never find a better person to help you get great results.
