Before Your Permanent Makeup Appointment

In order to obtain the best results from your permanent makeup procedure, it is important to follow the guidelines below and the preparation outlined. Just like painters spend time prepping their surface with sanding, making sure edges are smooth, and applying the right primer, you will also need to prep your skin to have a good canvas to work on. The procedure area must be healthy, strong, non-sensitive, and non-irritated. Here is how to get your skin ready for the procedure.

Before Your Permanent Lip Blush

Use Vaseline or Lip balm daily 5 days prior to your procedure, to moisturize the lips. You may use a lip scrub if needed to minimize dry lips.

Before Your Permanent Eyeliner

Eyelash extensions must be removed 1-2 days prior to the procedure. You must wait until all PMU is healed before resuming use.

Contact lenses must be removed prior to the procedure. You must wait 24 hours before resuming use. Please bring glasses for your appointment.

Before Your Areola Service or Scar Camouflage

You must be at least 6 months post-breast reconstructive surgery. You must be cleared by your surgeon before areola tattooing.

The scar must be 18 months old & lighter than the surrounding skin in order to be camouflaged.

Additional Waiting Periods for Lip Blushing

History of fever blisters, even just 1 in your lifetime. You will need a note from your doctor and premedication before your first visit.

Conditions that require medical clearance from a doctor include Glaucoma, Grave’s Disease, Blepharitis, or an eye-opening lift.

Blood Thinners

Anticoagulants lengthen the time it takes the blood to clot. Anti-platelet drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen prevent your blood from clotting. This can cause the treatment area to bleed resulting in the risk of over working the skin and cause discomfort. Please discuss with your health care provider if you are on any medications that may cause blood thinning. We recommend that you do not drink alcohol 24-48 hours before your visit. Also, minimize the use of caffeine the day of your treatment.

Point Clear Studio Policies

Providing the best customer service is our priority. We respect your time and ours. There are policies at Point Clear Studio that need to be followed in order to have a satisfactory experience every time. We appreciate your understanding.

A $100 deposit is required upon booking any initial permanent makeup and medical micropigmentation services. A $50 deposit is required for any follow up visits for permanent makeup touchups. This policy is to ensure that you are serious about scheduling your appointment. The deposit will be deducted from the total cost of your appointment. We require 48 hours’ notice if you decide to cancel or reschedule your appointment. In failure to do so, you will be charged a cancellation fee that is equal to your deposit.

A credit card is requested upon booking any injectable or massage therapy service. We currently do not ask for a deposit upon scheduling. We require 24 hours’ notice if you decide to cancel or reschedule your appointment. In failure to do so, you will be charged a $50 cancellation fee.

If you are more than 15 minutes late to your appointment in most cases, your appointment will need to be rescheduled. This is in effort to prevent unfair delays to additional clients. Please plan accordingly, as you will be considered a late cancellation and will be charged the full cancellation fee. In special cases, and when our schedule will allow, we may be able to accommodate the appointment. This will be at our discretion and only with advance notification of late arrival.

We do not provide refunds for any reason as this is an elective service. We ask that you be respectful to our staff. We have the right to terminate any existing client at any time without a refund.

If you have previously had permanent makeup done by another artist and fail to notify us in advance before making an appointment, we reserve the right to refuse service. We also require a clear picture of the previous permeant makeup treated area prior to your appointment.

Healed results will vary with each individual client. No guarantee will be made, and additional sessions may be required to obtain optimal results. Although we give our best efforts to provide you with quality service, many factors can result in a less than desired outcome as each client will heal differently. It is your responsibility to follow all guidelines in order to achieve the best results. Please refer to our FAQ and aftercare instructions to see if the services we offer may be beneficial to you.
