FAQ

1. What services does Merk Beauty offer?

Merk Beauty specializes in Permanent Makeup (PMU), Lash Extensions, and Hair Services. Our PMU services include microblading, lip blushing, ombre brows, powder brows, combination brows, and permanent eyeliner. We also offer a variety of lash extensions and hair services like cuts, color treatments, and more.

2. What is Permanent Makeup (PMU)?

Permanent Makeup is a cosmetic tattooing technique that enhances facial features by implanting pigment into the skin. It’s commonly used for eyebrows, lips, and eyeliner, offering a long-lasting solution that reduces the need for daily makeup application.

3. How long does Permanent Makeup last?

Permanent Makeup typically lasts between 12 to 24 months, depending on the area treated, your skin type, and aftercare. Regular touch-ups can extend the life of your PMU.

4. Is Permanent Makeup painful?

Most clients report mild discomfort rather than pain. We use high-quality numbing agents to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible.

5. How should I prepare for my appointment?

Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications for at least 24 hours before your appointment. If you’re getting a PMU service, avoid heavy sun exposure or tanning as well.

6. What should I expect during the healing process?

You may experience some redness, swelling, and scabbing in the first few days after your procedure. Full healing typically takes 4-6 weeks, during which you should follow the aftercare instructions provided.

7. What is the difference between microblading and powder brows?

Microblading creates fine, hair-like strokes for a natural look, while powder brows offer a soft, filled-in appearance similar to makeup. Combination brows blend both techniques for a fuller, more defined look.

8. How often do I need touch-ups?

Touch-ups are typically recommended every 12 to 18 months to maintain the color and shape of your Permanent Makeup.

9. Can I get Permanent Makeup if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

We do not recommend undergoing Permanent Makeup procedures while pregnant or breastfeeding due to potential risks.

10. How long do Lash Extensions last?

Lash extensions typically last 2-4 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle and how well you care for them. Regular fills are recommended to maintain fullness.

11. What types of Lash Extensions do you offer?

We offer Classic, Hybrid, Volume, and Mega Volume lash extensions to suit different preferences, from natural to dramatic looks.

12. What is Lip Blushing?

Lip blushing is a semi-permanent tattoo technique that enhances the natural color of your lips, giving them a subtle tint and fuller appearance.

13. How long does the Lip Blushing procedure take?

The procedure typically takes 2-3 hours, including the consultation, color selection, and application.

14. Is there any downtime after a PMU procedure?

Most clients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure, though you may experience some redness and swelling. It’s important to follow aftercare instructions for the best results.

15. What should I avoid after getting Permanent Makeup?

Avoid sun exposure, swimming, saunas, and excessive sweating for at least a week after your procedure. Do not pick at any scabs that form.

16. Can I wear makeup after getting Permanent Makeup?

It’s best to avoid wearing makeup on the treated area for at least a week after your procedure to allow proper healing.

17. How do I book an appointment?

You can book an appointment online through our website or by calling our studio directly. We recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred date and time.

18. Do you offer consultations?

Yes, we offer consultations to discuss your beauty goals, assess your skin type, and determine the best services for you.

19. What is your cancellation policy?

We ask that you provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Late cancellations or no-shows may be subject to a fee.

20. Are your products and pigments safe?

Yes, we use only high-quality, FDA-approved pigments and products that are safe for use on all skin types. We follow strict hygiene protocols to ensure your safety.

21. Do you offer services for all skin types?

Yes, our Permanent Makeup services are suitable for all skin types. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin to ensure the best possible results.

22. How long does a typical PMU session last?

A PMU session typically lasts between 2-3 hours, depending on the procedure and individual needs.

23. Can I get a refund if I’m not satisfied with the results?

We strive for complete client satisfaction. If you’re not satisfied with your results, please contact us, and we’ll work with you to address your concerns. However, refunds are generally not offered for services.

24. Do you offer services for men?

Yes, we offer a range of services for men, including beard trims, haircuts, and other grooming services.

25. How do I care for my Lash Extensions?

To care for your lash extensions, avoid rubbing your eyes, using oil-based products, and getting them wet for the first 24 hours. Brush them daily with a clean spoolie to keep them looking neat.
