The Cost of Permanent Makeup

It seems that the first question everyone wants to know about permanent makeup is the cost.  The actual cost of the permanent makeup treatment itself is very reasonable, ranging from $200-$400 per area.  If you consider what you pay to have your hair done every 6 weeks or the cost of buying expensive makeup to get the look you want, not to mention the time you spend daily applying makeup and taking it off, permanent makeup can actually SAVE you money in the long run.  However, you must be cautious on who you choose to do your permanent makeup or the emotional cost can be HIGH!! 

Permanent makeup is an art!  Not everyone can do it even if they had proper training.  Make sure to ask your technician to see their actual work and testimonials prior to having any treatments done.  Permanent makeup is just that, PERMANENT, to an extent.  Permanent makeup will fade with time and occasional touch ups should be expected every few years to keep your look fresh.

When pricing permanent makeup, make sure to ask if the initial price includes a "final touch or touch up" usually 4-6 weeks after your initial treatment.  Approximately 95% of clients will need this "touch up" to correct any faded areas, asymmetry issues or color concerns that they wish to correct after their first treatment.  It's important to remember the saying that "less is more" and "you can always add but you can't take away" when permanent makeup is involved.  Things can be fine tuned and added to give you the perfect look you want during your "touch up" appointment.  BEWARE if a touch up appointment isn't included in your initial quote for services.  The cheaper price may look better for your pocketbook but it won't look so nice on you if you can't afford to pay full price for a second appointment.

My final advice is to take the time to research your options (see my blog on selecting a permanent makeup technician) and take advantage of FREE consultations.  This will give you the confidence and knowledge to ask the right questions and choose the technician that will  make your permanent makeup a dream and not a costly nightmare.
