PERMANENT MAKEUP
The best part of being a Permanent Makeup Artist is that you can change the way people see themselves. Some client's really struggle with technique and the time it takes to apply makeup well. My goal is to provide them with natural-looking, long-lasting enhancements to bring out their best features so that clients not only look more youthful, but feel more confidant.

BROW HAIRSTROKES OR SHADED POWDER BROW- $525.
Eyebrows frame the eyes and can make your face look younger and refreshed. Brows that are too light, too thin or non-existent can be naturally enhanced. We can add precision custom color that works with your skin tone to create a natural, soft powder-brow for shading and fullness and add hairstrokes. We use numbing cream so the procedure is not painful. Together we will design and pre-draw your brows to create symmetry. Appointment is 2 hours. First touch-up after initial procedure is $150.
EYELINER- $475.
TIGHTLINE EYE FRAMING LINER- $250.
CLASSIC EYELINER- $525.
LASH ENHANCEMENT - TIGHT LINING LINER- $325.
Eyeliner is the easiest way to enhance the beauty and expression of the eyes. Eyeliner gives a natural look that is more subtle and neater than regular make-up. We can make the lines even and symmetrical, so you don't have to. It won’t smudge or smear throughout the day, it stays perfectly in place, on vacation, in the sauna and while working out. You'll have natural definition with zero effort. We use numbing cream to keep clients comfortable and so the procedure is not painful. First touch up after initial procedure is $150.
LIPS - LIP BLUSH & COLOR CONTOURING - $750.
As we get older, skin aging can cause the lip color and lip line boarder to fade dramatically. A natural lip blush enhancement and color contouring can permanently restore the shape of your lips and gives your lip line more natural definition for a perfectly shaped enhanced lip. We have many beautiful lip pigments colors to choose from. Color Boost will be needed 4-8 weeks after first procedure. For a dramatic, bold color change, cost is from $850. We use numbing cream to keep client's comfortable during the procedure.

Expect slight swelling and slight redness around the brow area. DO NOT get brows wet for 24 hours. After 24 hours, Wet face gently at sink with water and cleanse the area with soap provided (Cetaphil cleanser or similar) Wash the area once per day, AM or PM. DO NOT put face directly under showerhead while showering. DO NOT dry area with a body towel; use a clean tissue to pat dry. Have a clean pillowcase for sleeping. If Brows feel tight or dry, you can apply a very thin layer of 100% Petroleum with a q-tip. Keep area clean and dry. DO NOT touch the area with your hands as they may have bacteria on them; Clean hands only. DO NOT APPLY ANY makeup, creams, etc on area for 14 days. As Brows heal, it is normal for them to start to itch, appear darker and get flakey. DO NOT use any skin Exfoliants and DO NOT pick off or remove any attached flaking or scabbing, as this will remove pigment color. Loose dry skin that is not attached any longer can be gently brushed away from brow gently with a spoolie. Left undisturbed, the brow color will heal to a beautiful natural color.
NO: Eyebrow Tinting, Brow Growth Serums, Brow Waxing, Brow Botox into the procedural area, etc for 4 weeks
EYELINER & LASH ENHANCEMENT CARE DIRECTIONS
Expect light to moderate swelling and redness in and around the treated area for 1-3 days. NO contact lenses in the eyes for the first 24 hours. Do NOT get eye area wet for the first 24 hours. After 24 hours, Wet face gently at sink with water and cleanse the area with soap provided (Cetaphil cleanser or similar) Wash the area once per day, AM or PM. DO NOT put face directly under showerhead while showering. DO NOT dry eyes with a body towel; use a clean tissue to pat dry.

DO NOT apply any eye makeup such as mascara or eyeliner, etc to or around the eye area for 14 days. Clean and dry is best.
NO: Lash Tinting, Lash Lifting Lash Perms, Lash Growth Serums, etc for 4 weeks
LIP BLUSH CARE DIRECTIONS
Expect light to moderate swelling 1-2 days following procedure. If needed, apply a cool pack with paper towel barrier (not ice directly) on lips. The evening of the procedure you can wet lips gently, drink water, brush teeth, etc. The following day, Wet lips gently at sink with water and cleanse the area with soap provided (Cetaphil cleanser or similar) Wash the area only once per day, AM or PM. DO NOT put face directly under showerhead while showering. DO NOT touch the skin with hands as they may have bacteria on them; clean hands only. Have a clean pillowcase for sleeping. Do NOT use open lipstick or lipgloss for 10-14 days. To keep lips moisturized during healing, you can apply 100% Petroleum with a q-tip or purchase a new Chapstick-or similar lip balm (free of fragrence or color) to continually apply to make lips more confotable as they heal. Usually within 3-4 days following procedure, the lip epidermis skin peels off (similar to a mild sunburn) and it may appear you have lost all your color. This is normal. As lips heal, the color in the dermal layer will gradually become darker and will re-appear during healing. Avoid smoking and spicy foods during healing. For first 7-10 days, keep lips moist and avoid sun exposure. It is recommended to apply a SPF 15 lip balm during outdoor activity to reduce sun exposure on the lips. Do NOT Scrub or exfoliate skin and Do NOT pick of dry skin scabs that are attached as this will remove the pigment from the skin!
NO: Lip Filler, Lip Waxing, Lip Plumping Serums, etc for 4 weeks
IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL AFTERCARE

NO Excessive perspiration or heavy exercising for at least 14 days. NO Tanning Beds or Sun Tanning for at least 30 days. Sun exposure can fade and alter pigment color. No Facial Steaming, Swimming (avoid salt water & chlorine), Steam Showers, or Jacuzzis for 14 days. NO Facial Injections such as filler or botox into procedural area for 30 days.
Failure to follow Post-Procedural instructions may lead to loss in coloration or infection. The known possible complications from Micro pigmentation are: redness, swelling, bruising, dry patches and tenderness. It is normal to lose up to 40% of the pigment during the healing process, in which pigment will appear softer. If you experience any serious, adverse side effects, you should seek medication attention.
Please note: Permanent Makeup procedures are affected by the canvas that they are performed on. If you skin is sun damaged, thick, uneven in texture, excessively dry or excessively oily, the results cannot be expected to be perfect. Lifestyle, sun exposure, medications, smoking, age, etc are some factors that can contribute to pigment color change and pigment fading. For best results, please schedule a Color Boost Touch-up Appointment 4-6 weeks from your initial procedure to ensure the pigment application is even and looking its best!
WHAT TO EXPECT
PERMANENT MAKEUP FAQ
WHO CAN NOT HAVE PERMANENT MAKEUP DONE?
Those who are preganant or breastfeeding. Anyone who gets blisters or cold sores more than 6 times a year is not a candidate for permanent makeup. Those who are receiving an organ transplant, taking acutane, have Lupus, Graves Disease, or a malignant skin disease, have Blephartis, Orthalmitis, Herpes Zooster of the face, or are under 18 years of age.
CAN I WALK-IN FOR THIS PROCEDURE?
Because we have to review medical forms and setup the room for the procedure, we are unable to accommodate welkins for this procedure. An eConsult is required, prior to scheduling this procedure. Please send us a picture of yourself and a general description of what you would like done. Important: Please review the medical guidelines above to make sure you are a good candidate and don't have any serious medical conditions, which may require a Doctor's approval first.
IS PERMANENT MAKEUP SAFE? HOW DOES IT WORK?
Absolutely! We work only under the strict rules and licensing of the State of Florida Department of Health. For every client, a new sterile, disposable needle is used and we dispose of everything else that we use. We use the newest technology, a Digital Micropigentation machine. The machine has a hand piece that takes small, one-time use disposable Micro Needles. We use a variety of different colored pigments and needle configurations to create custom, natural-looking results on the skin.
CAN I GET PERMANENT MAKEUP IF I'M PREGNANT? OR UNDER 18?
For insurance and legal reasons, we can NOT perform Permanent Makeup until after the pregnancy and after you are done breastfeeding. You must be 18 years of age or older to have this procedure. Sorry, no exceptions.
IS PERMANENT MAKEUP THE SAME AS A TATTOO?
No. They're similar because both procedures implant pigment into the skin with needles, but the equipment, longevity and Pigments (We use Pigment whereas traditional Tattoos are done with Ink) are different.
IS THE END RESULT VISIBLE IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS?
Yes and No. Immediately afterwards, you will see the color on your skin. However, over the next few days and during the first week, you'll notice that the pigmentation is significantly darker than what the final result will be. At the end of the first week, the skin healing reduces the intensity of the color and color will be about 30-40% softer. This is normal and a natural occurrence due to your skin's cell renewal. The end result of pigmentation will be visible after a period of approximately 4 weeks.
CAN I GO BACK TO WORK AFTER?
Yes! Just make sure to keep the area clean, dry, don't touch the skin. Area MUST NOT GET WET FOR A FULL 24 HOURS, PREFERABLY 1-3 DAYS. Right after procedure, you may or may not notice any redness or slight swelling. For eyeliner procedures, your eyelids can get a a little puffy (like you've had a good cry), lips tend to swell the most and can look quite full, and eyebrows may have slight pink around them or nothing at all. If you've just had eyeliner done, you CAN NOT WEAR CONTACTS FOR 24 HOURS, so make sure to have glasses or be prepared to go without for 1 day.
DO I GET TO SEE THE COLOR AND SHAPE PRIOR TO THE PROCEDURE?
Absolutely! Before we start the procedure, we will measure and draw on the shape so you can see it. Noelle, owner of Andiamo! Salon & Spa will be working with you to decide the most suitable color and shape that complements you. Only when everything is to your complete satisfaction, will the pigmentation procedure begin.
DO I HAVE TO SHAVE MY EYEBROWS OFF TO GET MY BROWS DONE?
Absolutely not- that's terrifying! We will work with whatever hair and shape you've got to create a natural-looking enhancement that you will love!
HOW LONG DOES PERMANENT MAKEUP LAST?
All Permanent Makeup fades. It is called "Permanent Makeup" because it doesn't wash right off with water. Generally, permanent makeup color molecules will always be present, however if it is never touched up again, it may not be visible, because its under the skin. The intensity of your permanent makeup fades with time, but this varies from person to person. This is partly due to the natural cell renewal, the immune system and sun exposure. On average, clients will need a color boost every 1-3 years, depending on lifestyle, to keep makeup looking fresh.
WHO IS PERMANENT MAKEUP SUITABLE FOR?
Almost everyone! Women and men alike who want to look great. Clients who have over tweezed, have thinning eyebrows, or very light eyebrows. Also good for those that don't know how or don't have the time to draw on eyebrows or eyeliner everyday and prefer to cut down on time spent applying makeup. It is very helpful for people who swim a lot, are very active in sports, those with allergies, watery eyes, a shaky hand, or poor vision. With Permanent Makeup, you can literally wake up and go and still look put together.
DOES THE PROCEDURE HURT?
Permanent makeup is not completely painless, but it is generally not perceived as painful. Thanks to the latest digitally-controlled equipment and anesthetic creams, there is minimal discomfort! Every client is different; some will feel vibrating (like an electric toothbrush) or possibly a scratchy sensation, but most feel minor discomfort. For client comfort, we numb our clients skin while working.
WHAT ELSE SHOULD I EXPECT?
Results will appear bolder immediately after the procedure. This is common in all Semi-Permanent Makeup applications and it will begin to lighten typically within the first 5-7 days. Rest assured, it will look natural throughout this healing process. WE work conservatively. When choosing a pigment color, we recommend to be conservative until we see the healed results. We are always happy to go darker or bolder (per client's request) at the following touch up appointment. We do not do extreme permanent makeup; ie. Cat-Eye's or dramatic winged-eyeliner. DO NOT PICK the tiny, flaky dry skin! This WILL REMOVE the pigment! It is very common to have areas fade more so than others during healing, which is why we fine tune it at the touch up appointment. Please schedule your touch up to be within 4-8 Weeks after initial procedure.
