Permanent makeup is a cosmetic tattoo, so the questions to ask any artist are about needles, pigments, and hygiene. Ask Pomi at your consultation; nothing touches your skin before you have talked it through and agreed on the shape.

BrowsOn a client
Permanent makeup involves the skin, so safety matters before, during and after the appointment. A safer one starts with a clean studio, single-use tools, proper barriers, careful pigment handling and clear aftercare.
Your part is preparation: share your health details, follow the pre-care instructions for your service, and plan around the healing period.
Why disposable tools matter.
Single-use tools cut cross-contamination risk: they touch one client and are then safely discarded.

Safety at the studio
The private room, the clean setup and the single-use tools, in detail.
Careful technique. The artist should work with focus, precision and proper handling of tools and pigment.
Why are single-use tools important?
They touch one client and are then safely discarded, which reduces cross-contamination.
Should the appointment feel rushed?
No. Permanent makeup should not feel rushed, crowded or unclear. A clean studio process protects you and lets the artist focus.
How should I prepare?
Follow the studio's pre-care instructions: share health details, avoid tanning or sunburn, and ask about alcohol, caffeine, blood thinners, retinol, and exfoliants.
Is there downtime?
Most clients should plan for visible healing signs for 1 to 2 weeks, then follow the aftercare for your service.
Does safety end with the appointment?
No. Aftercare protects the treated area while it heals and supports the final result. Do not pick, scratch or peel the area, and ask the studio if you are unsure about healing.

Have safety questions before booking?
Contact the studio in Tustin before your appointment: preparation, aftercare, and anything else to ask first.
The other questions people ask before they book, answered the same way.
How long does permanent makeup last?
Most work holds its shape for one to three years, softening gradually. Sun, oily skin, and skincare acids fade it faster. A yearly touch-up keeps it crisp.
Powder brows suit oily or mature skin and anyone who fills in their brows daily with pencil or powder. Hair strokes suit drier skin and a sparser, more natural look.
Day 1 it looks darker and sharper. Days 2 to 5 it can flake; days 6 to 10 it can look lighter or patchy. By weeks 2 to 4 the softer, final result shows.
Lash enhancement fills the gaps between lashes with no visible line. Eyeliner adds a defined line above them. Both are done in the same two-visit process.
Someone who wants a natural look, understands the healing stages and follows aftercare. Ask before booking if you are pregnant, nursing, taking blood thinners, prone to keloids or have active irritation.
Arrive with clean skin, avoid irritation or sunburn, and share health details. Ask about retinol, acids, exfoliants, blood thinners, alcohol, and caffeine before your appointment.
Skin heals unevenly, and some strokes fade more than others. The six-weektouch-up refines shape and color once healing is done. It is part of the service, not an extra.
