THE MICROBLADING & PMU EXPERTS

The term “permanent makeup” is a bit of a misnomer because it isn't truly permanent, but with long-lasting results and little downtime, the popularity of microblading and permanent makeup is exploding. Led and trained by certified trainer Julie Michaud, our team of Certified Prettyology Micropigmentation Specialists gently and expertly tattoo pigments below your epidermis to make you look like you wake up, made up.

Our team of Certified Prettyology Micropigmentation Specialists performs over 5,000 procedures per year.

Our PMU Services

Services

NOTE: Please inquire for Julie's prices, which are not reflected in the pricing below.

CONSULTATION 30 minutes. $50–$100*
(applied towards cost of procedure within 3 months)

Consultations are mandatory before any first time microblading / permanent makeup procedure, scar correction or camouflage, and tattoo removal procedure. This is true even (especially) if you’ve had it done somewhere else.

We assess your skin type and condition, relevant medical background, lifestyle, goals, desires, and any upcoming special events that affect your scheduling. We’ll then discuss the various treatment methods available, the pros and cons of each as they apply to you personally, and any preparation you’ll want to do in order to maximize your results.

Come to the consultation with an open mind. Social sites like Instagram have created enormous misunderstanding and misinformation around buzzwords like "microblading," leading clients to too often ask for the wrong thing and walk away disappointed.

Your consultation fee can be applied toward cost of the service within 3 months of the consultation. All initial Micropigmentation appointments include a free follow-up appointment within 3 months of initial appointment to fine tune the shading after pigments have settled. If a third appointment is necessary after the follow-up appointment, then a set-up fee will apply.

All first time Micropigmentation clients are required to pay a 50% service deposit when scheduling their initial appointment. Deposits ARE refundable if cancellation notice is given 48 hours in advance. Prices are subject to change.

*Prices vary per artist.

During the COVID-19 outbreak, we recommend booking a remote consultation by Zoom video call rather than in-person at Prettyology.

Touch Ups

Important details

The description and prices below apply only to touching up work originally done by Prettyology not more than 36 months prior. Beyond 36 months is considered a new first-time application. If you've had work done by any other practitioner, please see "Fix-ups" below.

"Permanent makeup" can last for years. But the pigments are not like those used for body tattoos and are not truly permanent. That's one of many reasons we prefer to use the term "micropigmentation" rather than "permanent makeup".

FACTORS AFFECTING TIME BETWEEN TOUCH UPS

Skin type
How natural the initial look was. The finer and more natural the individual hair strokes, the more crisp you'll want to keep them

Fix Ups

CORRECT ERRORS MADE BY OTHER PRACTITIONERS

Many new clients ask us to correct or refresh permanent makeup that was applied by someone else. We can usually improve the appearance. In many cases, we can achieve the same result as if we'd done the work from scratch.

This involves several unknowns: brand and composition of the pigments used by the original practitioner, color, shape, fading, your skin's natural pigmentation, length of time since most recent application, and more. Because of this, we can not guarantee a specific result or how many sessions will be optimal.

Pricing

Corrective work services are priced per hour and do not include a follow-up appointment. Please keep in mind that three or more appointments may be required.
