I take my clients’ health and safety seriously, and will NOT perform any permanent makeup services if it is unsafe to do so. If you have any health concerns or conditions, please consult your doctor to determine whether it is safe to undergo a permanent makeup procedure BEFORE booking a consultation appointment with me.
Permanent makeup involves the use of topical numbing agents, needles, and pigments to apply a desired pigmentation to the skin. I chose to institute this policy in order to minimize health risks for potential clients and to prevent complications from arising during the permanent makeup procedure.
If you have any of the following health contraindications, I cannot perform a permanent makeup procedure for you:
- Active Fever / Flu / COVID-19
- Pregnant / Nursing

- Any active skin disorders such as cold sores, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, shingles, etc.
- Epilepsy / Seizures
- Hemophilia or bleeding disorders
- MRSA
