“Permanent Makeup - a Big Mistake”

Hi, I'm in Florida too. Just wondering if you know the name of the person who did your brows? I want to make sure I don't go to her. Thanks!

Just looking around to get the feel of the procedure and how long does it take, how painful? Are there others out there that has had this done and what were there take on having this done.

The same thing happened to me. I got my eyebrows done 2 1/2 years ago. The aesthetician said she had 18 years experience and had a "master's certification" in permanent makeup application. She worked at a swanky dayspa, so I thought I was doing the right thing. I also saw someone else's eyebrows that she had done and liked them. Mine turned out like you said yours did: too dark, angry and surprised-looking. She told me they would fade in a few weeks and not look so harsh. To me, they still look like they were drawn on with a Sharpie.

It is a real shame that there are such bad permanent makeup artists out there. We are not all created equal! This is NOT a procedure that should be done at someone's home, or even in a salon unless it is in a private room. Tattoo procedures are not safely performed in the environment of Nail dust, hair, and chemicals and these are huge contaminants. While there are those of us who can correct a lot of mistakes, it's so much better to go to a reputable person the first time. It is your FACE, and therefore vital to do your homework!

I would like to comment on this subject further....Ladies, Please consider that Permanent MakeUp is not something that should be taken lightly! Some only attend a 5 day class and then begin tattooing faces! There is NO licensing required in the state of Florida. I have been a Hollywood MakeUp Artist for over 20 years... wouldn't that be an indicator of my experience with facial morphology? If celebrities have chosen ME as their MakeUp Artist it would point to my expertise in this area. Also, i believe if you are not getting a good feeling from the person you are speaking to, RUN AWAY! Chances are, they are not very professional. There is NO question I don't have an answer to, and there are no stupid questions!I spend hours on the phone talking to women who have been given false data about PMU. I am sometimes saddened by my own industry and it's lack of integrity. YOU can take charge of this by researching and asking the right questions! You only have one face....

We have to agree that a $250.00 eyebrow is not going to be done by a real Professional. I have been doing Permanent Make up for
28 years and also have a masters in Theater and stage make up.
It takes years...to be a good artist and to know your colors in the skin.

"Good art is not cheap and cheap art is not good."
Why do you want to BARGIN hunt on your face makes no sense.
Look at the average price for South Fla. it is between $575-$700.
Look at their website and photos, get ref. IF they dont have a site then they are not serious or proud of their profession.
