Consultations
CONSULTATIONS ARE RECOMMENDED, BUT ARE NOT MANDATORY.
IMPORTANT:

ALL APPOINTMENT DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE!

As we all know by experience... any of the following situations may occur at any time. 

​

  • Inclement Weather

  • Emergency Situation

  • Sudden  Illness

​

This is how we handle such occasions:

  • First, we will send a notice by text and/or email to our client and artist notifying all parties of an ALTERNATE DATE.

  • If the new date is fine with you, there is no need to reply, just show up. 

  • You may confirm if it makes you feel better by leaving a message for us by phone or the 24/7 MESSAGE CENTER.

  • If the alternate date DOES NOT work for you:

    • You may use the link in your email to select a date that serves you better.

    • If you are electronically challenged,  please feel free to MESSAGE US to request an alternative date. 

GROUP CONSULTATION MEETINGS . . . . . . . . .  $50

  • This fee is applicable to your procedure if scheduled the night of the consultation. 

​

  • We do not charge for this meeting unless you decline to move forward with a procedure. 

​

Group consultations are an educational experience, so be sure to bring a list of all of your questions and learn what permanent makeup can (and cannot) do for you.

This is A FUN TIME spent connecting & educating people who care enough to come, and we hope you'll join us.

We schedule these meetings at least once a month and generally last from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the questions that arise from the group.

​

Seating is limited, and you must register online to select a date for the class. This will give us an accurate head count for the meeting. The class should be scheduled a MINIMUM OF 1 WEEK prior to your first permanent makeup session. 

 

Consultation Appointments may be reset to any later date, without consequence or penalty.

​

Private Consultations Available  . . . . .  $100 ​

  • This fee is NOT applicable to your procedure since you to had the opportunity to schedule in a group setting.

  • This $100 non refundable fee is for the artists time and expertise. It is not a deposit and will not be applied toward the cost of your procedure.

  • We charge for private meetings since we give the opportunity to attend a Group  Consultation where the fee is applicable to a procedure.  

​

* The $50 fee that we charge for group Consultatations is to serve as a reminder that you have an appointment with us and to help deter people from joining who are not serious about a procedure.

* However, THIS FEE IS RETURNED TO YOU as it can be applied toward any future appointment. This fee is also non refundable

* The Monthly Consultation is only free to clients who book an appointment.

SELF ADMINISTERED ALLERGY PATCH TEST 

By agreeing to administer your own test, you also agree to take on any responsibility for the outcome. You must clean the area thoroughly and keep the treated area clean until fully healed. Permetika does not take responsibility for improperly executed tests. 

​

STEP 1 CLEANSE:

Wash a small area of skin on the inside of the elbow or behind the ear. Rub the area briskly with an alcohol pad. Allow the area to air dry. 

 

STEP 2 APPLY PIGMENT: 

When the test area is dry, apply a TINY drop of pigment to the cleansed area using a sterile Q-tip.  Important:  Use the SAME color from the same lot/batch# as will be used during treatment.  

 

 

STEP 3: LIGHTLY PRICK SKIN:

Using a lancet or sterile needle, prick the skin through the drop of pigment (as if to remove a TINY splinter). Prick 10-20 times in a small circle about the size of a mustard seed - NOT THE SIZE OF A PENCIL ERASURE! Prick just long enough to deliver some color into the skin.

​

STEP 4 MONITOR:

Monitor the area for the next 72 hours. The skin may itch and or sting slightly upon application, however, it should not burn or feel intensely painful. Itching may continue. This is a normal part of the healing process, so don’t worry.

​

STEP 5 FOLLOW-UP:

Follow-up with your client after 3-5 days to inquire about the condition of the tested skin patch.  

 

Analyzing the Skin Patch Test Results

As previously stated, most clients will have a slight sensitivity, stinging, or itchy feeling to the test upon application, and itching may remain as the skin heals. This is normal and not a sign of an allergic reaction. However, you should not experience burning or severe irritation that they consider unbearable.

​

SIGNS TO WATCH FOR:  WELTING, OOZING, SWELLING, REDNESS AROUND TREATED AREA.

 

RESULTS: NO IRRITATION AT ALL

ACTION: GREEN LIGHT GO! This skin patch test did not present any signs of allergic reactions. It is ok to proceed with scheduling the cosmetic tattooing appointment.  (See warning below).

​

RESULTS:  MILD TO MODERATE IRRITATION

ACTION: PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION: This skin patch test only demonstrated mild to moderate reactions., so exercise caution and consult your physician before proceeding with any cosmetic tattooing procedure. (See warning below).

 

RESULTS:  SEVERE

 Irritation, Burning, or Itching, Welting, Oozing Swelling, or Redness extending from patch tested area.

ACTION:  YOU ARE NOT A CANDIDATE FOR COSMETIC TATTOOING: This skin patch test demonstrated signs of allergic reactions. You must consult your physician for further treatment.

​

WARNING:

A negative test is NOT a guarantee that a future reaction will not appear. Your body can decide at ANY point in the future, to become allergic to almost anything. It depends on the state of your immune system.
