What permanent makeup services do you offer in Burnaby, New Westminster, and Surrey

Every treatment is customized to complement your facial features while creating natural, long-lasting results.

What is Powder Ombre Brows?

Powder Ombre Brows is one of the most popular semi-permanent makeup techniques. Using a cosmetic tattoo machine, pigment is gently implanted into the skin to create soft, shaded brows that resemble perfectly applied makeup.

Powder Brows are ideal if you want:

Fuller-looking eyebrows

Low-maintenance beauty

Smudge-proof brows

Long-lasting results

A soft, natural gradient effect

What is the difference between Powder Brows and Combo Brows?

Powder Ombre Brows create a soft, pixelated makeup look using machine shading.

Combo Brows combine realistic hair strokes with soft shading for added definition and dimension.

During your consultation, your permanent makeup artist will recommend the technique best suited for your skin type, existing brows, and desired look.

How long does Permanent Makeup last?

Most Permanent Makeup treatments last between 2–3 years, depending on:

Skin type

Lifestyle

Sun exposure

Skincare products

Immune system

Aftercare

Annual color boost appointments help keep your brows looking fresh.

Does Permanent Makeup hurt?

Most clients describe the procedure as mild discomfort rather than pain.

A professional topical numbing cream is applied throughout the appointment to maximize comfort. Many clients are surprised by how comfortable the experience is.

Do I have to shave my eyebrows off for Permanent Makeup?

Absolutely not! You should never shave your eyebrows before your appointment. As your Permanent Makeup Artist, I carefully design your new brows by mapping them to your unique facial features, bone structure, natural brow growth, and facial symmetry.

Your existing eyebrow hair is an important part of creating a beautiful, natural-looking result. During the appointment, only a few stray hairs that fall outside your customized brow shape may be gently removed if necessary.

Whether you're getting Powder Ombre Brows, Combo Brows, or another semi permanent makeup treatment, our goal is to enhance your natural brows—not remove them.

Please arrive with your natural eyebrows intact. This allows us to create the most flattering and customized brow shape for you.

Is a touch-up included?

A perfect set of brows usually requires two appointments.

Your initial appointment creates the foundation, while your 6–8 week perfecting session refines color, shape, and retention after healing.

How should I prepare for my Permanent Makeup appointment?

Before your appointment:

Avoid alcohol for 24 hours.

Avoid caffeine on the day of your appointment.

Avoid blood-thinning medications unless prescribed by your doctor.

Do not wax or tint your brows immediately before your appointment.

Avoid retinol, AHAs, BHAs, and chemical peels around the brow area.

Following these instructions helps improve pigment retention.

What is the healing process like?

Your brows will appear darker for the first few days.

During healing:

Mild flaking is normal.

Color may appear lighter before returning.

Do not pick or scratch the area.

Keep the area clean and dry.

Follow all aftercare instructions.

No.

Can I wear mascara with lash extensions?

When performed correctly using professional equipment and appropriate eye protection, UV Lash Extensions provide excellent retention and immediate curing. Your eyes remain closed throughout the procedure, and protective measures are taken to minimize UV exposure.

Clean lashes daily with lash shampoo.

Brush lashes every morning.
