FAQs

No. Permanent makeup does not affect your natural hair follicles or stop hair growth. Your eyebrow hairs will continue to grow normally after treatment.

You will still need regular brow maintenance such as threading, waxing, tweezing, or trimming to keep your brows looking neat and aligned with your permanent makeup shape.

Every permanent makeup appointment includes a detailed consultation on the day of treatment. During this consultation, we discuss your desired shape, colour, style, and overall expectations.

If you have previously had permanent makeup performed elsewhere, we strongly recommend booking a separate consultation before treatment. This allows us to assess your existing work and determine whether correction, colour correction, or removal is required.

Most clients find permanent makeup very manageable. Comfort levels vary depending on individual pain tolerance, treatment area, and skin sensitivity.

To maximise comfort, we apply professional numbing products before and during the procedure. Most clients describe the sensation as mild scratching, vibration, or slight discomfort rather than pain.

Permanent makeup results vary from person to person. Factors affecting longevity include:

• Skin type
• Age
• Lifestyle
• Sun exposure
• Skincare products
• Medications
• Medical conditions
• Pigment colour chosen

Typically, permanent makeup can last anywhere from 6 months to 5 years before a colour refresh is recommended.

Initial surface healing usually takes 7–10 days. However, complete healing and colour settling requires a minimum of 4 weeks.

For some clients, especially those with mature skin, final results may take up to 8 weeks to fully develop.

Healing varies between individuals and skin types.

During the healing process you may experience:

• Slight flaking
• Mild itching
• Temporary darkness
• Patchy appearance
• Colour softening

These stages are completely normal. The pigment may appear to fade before the final colour resurfaces and settles within the skin.

Yes. Most clients return to work and normal activities immediately after treatment.

The treated area may appear slightly darker during the first few days, but this softens as healing progresses. Makeup can be worn around the treated area but should not be applied directly on it during healing.

Yes. Permanent makeup is safe when performed by a qualified and experienced artist following strict hygiene protocols.

We use:

• Sterile, single-use needles
• Medical-grade pigments
• Professional infection-control procedures
• Thorough sanitation between every client

Your health, safety, and comfort are our highest priorities.

Microblading uses a handheld blade to create hair-like strokes manually within the skin.

Digital eyebrow tattooing (micropigmentation) uses an advanced digital machine that allows the artist to control depth, speed, and pressure with greater precision.

At Moya Wren Permanent Cosmetics, we specialise in digital hair stroke brows, sometimes referred to as digital microblading. This technique creates realistic, natural-looking eyebrow hairs while offering greater versatility for different skin types.

No. Permanent eyebrow tattooing does not require your eyebrows to be shaved.

Your natural brow hair helps create the most realistic result possible. Only stray hairs outside the final design may be removed to achieve a polished and symmetrical shape.

We recommend avoiding over-plucking or shaving your brows before your appointment.

Immediately after treatment, your eyebrows will appear darker and more defined than the final healed result.

This is completely normal and usually lasts around 7 days. As the skin heals, the colour softens and settles into a more natural appearance.

Every eyebrow tattoo is customised to suit your individual features.

We carefully select pigment colours based on:

• Skin tone
• Hair colour
• Eye colour
• Undertones
• Fitzpatrick skin type

Rather than matching makeup products, we choose pigments specifically formulated to heal beautifully within the skin and create long-lasting natural results.

Lip enhancement is a cosmetic tattoo treatment designed to improve lip definition, shape, symmetry, and colour.

The treatment can create the appearance of fuller, healthier-looking lips while maintaining a soft and natural finish.

Lip enhancement creates the illusion of fuller lips by improving border definition and restoring lost colour.

It does not physically add volume like dermal fillers, but many clients find their lips appear naturally fuller and more balanced after treatment.

Results typically last between 1 and 3 years depending on skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, and aftercare.

Periodic colour boost appointments help maintain the best results.

Lip blush is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo treatment that enhances the natural colour of your lips.

The treatment adds soft colour, improves definition, balances uneven tones, and creates a fresher, more youthful appearance.

Yes. Modern lip blush treatments are designed to create a soft, natural enhancement rather than a heavily lined or overly saturated look.

Your colour is carefully selected to complement your skin tone and desired outcome.

Lip blush typically lasts between 1 and 3 years before a colour refresh is recommended.

Longevity depends on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, and aftercare.

The lips will initially appear brighter and more intense than the final result.

During healing, you may experience:

• Mild swelling
• Dryness
• Flaking
• Temporary colour loss

The final healed colour develops gradually over 4–8 weeks.

Permanent eyeliner is a cosmetic tattoo treatment that enhances the lash line and defines the eyes.

It can create anything from a subtle lash enhancement to a more defined eyeliner look depending on your preferences.

Yes. Permanent eyeliner can be suitable for many clients with sensitive eyes or makeup allergies.

A consultation will help determine whether the treatment is appropriate for your individual needs.

Permanent eyeliner generally lasts between 2 and 5 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.

Colour boost appointments can help maintain crisp, fresh-looking results.

PMU correction is a specialist treatment used to improve, neutralise, adjust, or correct previous permanent makeup that has healed unevenly, faded poorly, changed colour, or no longer suits the client.

In many cases, yes.

However, every correction case is unique. We require a consultation before booking treatment to assess:

• Existing pigment colour
• Pigment saturation
• Shape and symmetry
• Skin condition
• Previous treatment history

Yes. A consultation is essential before any PMU correction procedure.

This allows us to determine whether correction, colour neutralisation, saline removal, laser removal, or a combination of treatments will achieve the safest and most effective result.

Many permanent makeup treatments can be improved, but not every case can be corrected in a single appointment.

Some clients may require multiple correction sessions or partial pigment removal before new permanent makeup can be applied.

Booking fees are essential for every appointment taken, to keep the business running smoothly and secure your place in the diary. The minimum deposit amount is £50 (Madison) £100 (Moya), which can be taken over the phone, on our online booking system or brought into our premises. Only after you have paid your booking fee will your appointment be secured, as our booking system doesn't allow us to book without one. The reason for this is that it is a specialist, professional procedure, and have a high demand for appointments, therefore, appointment times are very precious. Booking fees are non refundable. If your notice of cancellation is 48 hours or less, or if you fail to disclose medical information that results in a refusal of treatment, a new booking fee will be required to secure a new apt space. If you have had previous work done, it is imperative that you inform us about this at the time of booking your appointment. To avoid disappointment on the day, please read the guidelines on our websitel. Gift vouchers are non-refundable.

We always consult with you on the day of your appointment and discuss shape, colour, look etc however you can book a separate consultation if you would like to meet the Artist and have any questions or concerns before you book also we need to see you if you have had previous work elsewhere and are looking for correction work or advice.

No. The procedure does not affect the present hair follicles. The hair will grow as normal, and will still require the normal maintenance, eg waxing, threading, to keep the shape groomed and in line with your new look.

No! Never! This is a myth, as Tattoo artists will normally shave an area to help see where their design is being placed, before they start. Permanent make-up artists enhance what you already have, and wouldn't take away something that is a benefit to you! Untidy hairs that are not in the shape of the final look will be removed, to achieve a groomed brow. (Please don't shave or over pluck your brows before coming to us as this can affect the implantation of pigment)

MICROBLADING is the original traditional form of facial tattooing that originates from Asia. Its popularity has increased due to the method being more accessible. It is cheaper to buy or train in, as there is no expensive outlay on a machine. It is performed with a small handheld tool similar, to a pen, that holds a configuration or grouping of needles. These needles fit tight together in a line, to create a hair stroke effect when applied to the skin by a trained artist. MICROPIGMENTATION is performed using the latest technology, with a handheld pen-like device attached to a digital machine, that is controlled by the artist. According to the type of skin he or she is working on, the artist can increase or decrease the speed and pressure applied, even when working on sensitive skin. Both methods are under the PMU umbrella, so to speak, and produce colour implantation in the skin, which is classed as cosmetic tattooing. Here at Moya Wren Permanent Cosmetics, we give the look associated with Microblading. Using a digital machine, we produce lifelike hair strokes to mimic the look of real eyebrow hair, hence we call it DIGITAL MICROBLADING

Pigment colours are chosen to match and complement your natural skin and hair tone. We would never use black pigment in any complexion as an eyebrow colour, as no matter how dark your skin is, it can reflect navy blue tones in your skin over time or if exposed to the sun. However, we can achieve a darker eyebrow, using alternative shades and tones, if this is the look you desire, and it is suited to you. All procedures, immediately following the application, will appear darker for approximately seven days until they heal and soften

Beginning with a variety of basic pigment shades, virtually any colour can be mixed to complement your natural skin tones. We work with you discussing your preferences and making suggestions to help to perfect your look. We custom design your Permanent Make up to colours that will suit you best. The client does not choose the colour through a bottle, as we base our choice on skin tone, hair colour, eye colour and the Fitzpatrick scale, as this is how our artists are trained and highly skilled in. We never match to cosmetic pencils or powders, as these are designed to sit on the skin not in the skin, so colours vary.

Everyone’s pain threshold is different, therefore, we cannot answer this question with a yes or no answer. However, what we will say is that we use numbing cream prior to the procedure and numbing lotion during the application to keep you comfortable. Pain is minimised and controlled.

Safety and health are our priorities. At all times we adhere to the strictest sterilisation procedures. Only new sterile disposable needles, which are opened in front of each client, are used for your complete safety. Everything is cleaned and sterilised between clients, the room, the bed, the lamp, the trolley, and anything we have touched by a gloved hand. We have been trained to exacting hygiene standards.

This will vary between each person, as many factors are taken into account. Factors include your natural skin type and the skincare products you use, colour chosen, for example lighter colours like blondes will require more maintenance than darker shades. Sunbed users and sun lovers will fade quicker due to UV light. Certain medical conditions and medication will all contribute to fading over time, though the expectation can be anywhere between 6 months and 5 years.

Surface healing is 7 to 10 days, however, it takes a MINIMUM of 28 days to see the final result of your permanent make up. It can take up to 2 months depending on age and condition of the skin. The older you are the longer the healing process between treatments

Healing is minimal to moderate in discomfort and inconvenience. It is different for every individual. It is skin type dependant, eg if you have an oily skin type you will heal differently to someone with dry skin. You can expect slight flaky skin, itchiness, fading and patchiness, this is all normal! The pigment can fade and will resurface again once it has settled in the skin (usually 4 weeks).

Immediately! The colour may appear a little darker than usual for the first few days. The crusting is only slightly visible, but usually never really noticeable. Make up can be used around the area but not directly over it
