ABOUT HENNA

Eyeliner
PMU Eyeliner is a semi-permanent form of cosmetic tattooing that approaches the eye enhancement with colour deposit pigmentation to give the eye a crisp make up look.
​
There are various styles of PMU eyeliner: natural, flick, cat eye, and glamourous. You can get it in the bold black or a more neutral brown!
Why choose Eyeliner?
Using a permanent makeup tattoo machine with a single needle or line of needles, the tattoo technique deposits colour pigments into the skin in a less invasive and traumatic way than microblading. This method is less painful and allows for more time in between touch-ups, lasting longer.
Smokey Eyeliner
PMU Smokey Eyeliner is a semi-permanent form of cosmetic tattooing that approaches the eye enhancement with colour deposit pigmentation to give the eye a glamourous make up look. Never worry about doing a smokey eye again!
​
There are various dual colours that you can use to achieve the look, with the base as black and the smoke with brown or black!

Is my deposit refundable?No, your deposit is non-refundable. The salon has to be booked and paid for in advance by me for every appointment that I schedule. That means if you don't show up to your appointment, I am at a significant loss. If enough notice (at least 1 week) is provided and I can fit another client in your spot, I may be able to apply your deposit to your rescheduled appointment date. However, please do not rely on this option as if I cannot find someone to fill your spot, you will lose your deposit.
-
I have previously done permanent make up, is it a touch-up?If you have permanent make up previously done, whether it be brows, lips, or liner, this is still considered an initial appointment as it actually involves more work when it comes to colour and shape correcting. As such, initial appointment prices will apply, with a colour correction fee, if applicable.
-
How much is your deposit fee?For initial appointments, my deposit fee is $100, payable by e-transfer to kyradoesbeauty@gmail.com. This amount is applied to the total cost of your procedure. For follow up/touch up appointments, the deposit fee is 50% of the cost of your procedure. Many artists in the industry will charge up to 50% for all procedure costs, I am operating otherwise.
-
Do you have a grace period?Yes, I do! My grace period is 20 minutes, but we may have to rush through some of the discussion or after-care steps. Note that being late takes time away from a quality, well-paced appointment. After 20 minutes, there is too much content to cover and we will have to reschedule. You will be marked as a no show and your deposit will be forfeited. If you are going to be 20+ minutes late, you will need to reschedule.

How much will it hurt?I do use a topical numbing agent to help pain in the area. Clients have cited the pain level as uncomfortable, yet very tolerable, but remember that everyone's pain tolerance is different.
-
How long does the procedure take?Your appointment is scheduled for 3 hours which accounts for the consultation, mapping, procedure, after-care discussion, and pictures; but, the procedure itself will take around 2 to 2.5hrs.
-
How long will the results last?The results can last up to 3 years, given good care and hygiene. Much of the colour is lost to the initial healing process, so it is crucial that you book your 4-6 week touch up appointment to ensure you get the long-term colour you want. Regular touch ups are a good idea to maintain the shape and colour, such as at the 2 year mark and 4 year mark, however after the initial touch up at 4-6 weeks, it is totally up to you how often you want to do a touch up.
-
Will it turn out like lipstick?Lip blushing gives a colour tint to your lips. After your initial visit, the colour chosen will fade about 60% as it heals. This is why the 6-8 week touch up appointment is so crucial, as it brings back the colour tint. To get a more flat lipstick like colour, more sessions are needed to deposit more pigment into the lips.

Can I wear Lipstick over my lip blushing?Once your lip blushing has healed, you can continue to wear lipstick and other lip products as you please. When you are removing your lipstick, be sure to using gentle cleansing products and not to over exfoliate the area as this could lead to fast fading of the tattoo.
-
How many appointments do I need?A lip blushing procedure is complete with two appointments. The initial procedure, followed by a touch up 6-8 weeks later. After that, annual touch ups are recommended to keep the colour fresh. Please note, if you are doing a lip neutralization then a blushing, you may need three appointments in total.
-
What colour should I choose?We can decide together which colour would best suit your skin tone and visual needs. You can bring your favourite shade of lipstick and we can match something close to it!
-
Can lip blushing make my lips look bigger or more symmetrical?While we NEVER tattoo on the skin surrounding the lip, we work on lip tissue ONLY, we sometimes can have lip tissue that lacks pigmentation which causes our lips to look smaller than they actually are or appear asymmetrical. In these cases, we are able to naturally enhance the lips to restore size and symmetry while keeping inside our lips natural border.
