FAQs
What products do you use?
I am constantly being introduced to new product ranges from various labels. I only carry what I think is the best out of each range. Working on a variety of skin types and events I will select a product that will deliver exactly what is needed for a particular brief or client. Some products which can be found in my kit include NARS, Giorgio Armani, YSL, Tom Ford, Chanel, Laura Mercier, BECCA, MAC, Bobbi Brown, Anastasia Bevery Hills to name a few.
Is it cheaper if I travel to your beauty room?
Yes- we offer discounted rates if you receive your service at our beauty room. However most people like the luxury of our team travelling to them to avoid the fuss of travel time, dealing with traffic or undesirable weather conditions. Travel fees will apply outside of Sydney region.
Cosmetic tattooing-Why is it important to go to your 2nd/adjustment appointment?
Two appointments are necessary to create a fantastic, long-lasting tattoo. In the first appointment, a shape is established, colour saturation occurs, or the first set of hair-stokes. The second appointment is to reinforce the pigment (fill any spots where colour did not take as well, or where hair-strokes faded, as they can do), often using a slightly darker colour, to give a more realistic, 3D appearance.

We work by appointment only and like run on time for each of our clients. This also ensures every client has our undivided attention in a relaxed environment.

How close should I book my lash lift and tint before my wedding?
5-7 days before your wedding is perfect to obtain the best results.
Can you have a cosmetic tattoo procedure while pregnant or breast feeding?
No- we use a topical Anesthetic prior and during your procedure. These will absorb into the skin and may enter into the blood stream. Although our pigments pass all of the Australian Standards and testing there is not enough known about the tattoo pigments on the growing baby to ensure safety therefore we advise against it. It’s always best to be cautious while being pregnant and or breastfeeding and just wait those extra few months. We want the best for you and your baby and don’t do procedures on anyone pregnant or currently breastfeeding.
