Frequently asked questions

Firstly 

• Are you pregnant or breastfeeding?
• Do you have dark, hyper-pigmented or melanin-rich skin and want our lip blush treatment?
• Do you have pre-existing Permanent Makeup that has been done elsewhere?
• Do you suffer from cold sores?

If you have answered ‘Yes’ to any of the above questions, you will need to speak to a member of our team prior to booking your appointment as you may not be suitable for some of our treatments.

Please note:  For PMU some skins will not retain the crispness of a hair stroke and some skins may require more retouches than others. We will not carry out work that we feel is inappropriate or work with clients whose expectations we feel we cannot manage.

Most people are suitable for some form of Permanent Makeup or Aesthetics treatment and our expert team will create a tailored treatment plan for you.

If you aren’t sure if you are suitable or which treatments to book, we offer free in-person consultations. 

During these consultations we will explore with you which treatments will suit you best. This is a one-to-one consultation includes a discussion of your desired results and expectations and any features you wish to correct or balance. 

Permanent Makeup can last for several years but this is dependent on several factors including skin type, sun exposure and lifestyle.

Whilst Permanent Makeup is ‘low maintenance’ it is not ‘no maintenance’. Polly Vincent recommends a colour refresher treatment every twelve to eighteen months to maintain perfect results.

When performed correctly by expert, trusted technicians Permanent Makeup and Aesthetics treatments are extremely safe.

Permanent Makeup and Aesthetics treatments are trusted by technicians and cosmetic surgeons throughout the world. Ophthalmologists actually recommend PMU eye procedures for women sensitive to conventional cosmetics and Permanent Makeup also serves medical purposes for people recovering from breast cancer, alopecia and chemotherapy patients.

All procedures are performed with your comfort in mind and our artists will do everything possible to minimise any pain or discomfort.

For this reason, anaesthetic gel is applied prior to treatment (for most treatments).

Polly and her team will take great care prior to starting your treatment to explain the process and select the treatments that they know from their extensive experience will enhance your face or body and achieve your desired results.

Your treatment plan will be agreed with you before we begin and any Permanent Makeup will be carefully drawn on in pencil before we begin tattooing for you to review, change and finally approve.

With a huge increase in the popularity of Permanent Makeup & Aesthetics in recent years and with the industry being largely unregulated, you will find Permanent Makeup & Aesthetics treatments for a wide range of different prices.

However, in the cosmetic industry it is usually the higher end of the market which will deliver the most effective results.

The quality of treatment not only will impact on the appearance of the final result, but also effect factors such as the safety of the procedure and the length of time that your results will last. For these reasons, quality of service and experience should guide your decision rather than price alone when considering any cosmetic procedure.

Permanent Makeup & Aesthetics are long term options so you are likely to regret rushing into a treatment with somewhere cheaper who is immediately available. 

Yes! We pride ourselves on offering luxurious treatments in a clean and safe environment.

The equipment used is the latest & most technologically advanced. Like medical equipment, permanent cosmetic  & aesthetic equipment is safe by design against cross contamination. All needles are single use only & device parts are autoclavable. All equipment selected & used by Polly Vincent and her team is fully inspected by the Health and Safety executive & complies with all Health and Safety requirements.

They will explain the different treatments available, the procedure and the expected results. Everything will be noted down so that when you are ready to book in for your treatment they have everything that they need!

Following the right post-procedural aftercare advice is so important if you want long-lasting, beautiful results.
