BOOKING POLICIES & FORMS

MEDICAL HISTORY FORM

WELLNESS FORM 

BY BOOKING AN APPOINTMENT WITH PERMETIKA, YOU ARE DECLARING THAT YOU AGREE WITH OUR CONSERVATIVE APPROACH, AND ALL THAT IT ENTAILS. YOU AGREE THAT THIS "LESS IS BEST" CONCEPT - IS BEST FOR YOU - & ARE WILLING TO RETURN FOR SUBSEQUENT FOLLOW-UP SESSIONS TO COMPLETE THE WORK.  

  • Booking any cosmetic procedure should NOT be taken lightly.   This process requires thought and planning because it leans more toward surgery than a normal cosmetic procedure like hair, nails, or lashes. We invite you to read over the information links on this page to make sure you are a candidate for the services we offer.  

  • When making the decision to have a permanent mark added to your face, please keep in mind that your skin is a biological system that is designed to rid itself of foreign matter.  We are putting foreign matter in the form of "art" into your "skin", so your body is going to do its best to take it out.  HELP PREPARE YOUR SKIN FOR THE PROCEDURE BY TAKING ARNICA MONTANA PRIOR TO YOUR APPOINTMENT.  Read the links on this page (and/or) in the footer section of this website for more detailed information like how to know if you're a GOOD CANDIDATE,  learning how to PLAN AHEAD,  PRE-PROCEDURE TIPS, what to do for AFTERCARE. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THIS IS DONE WITH YOUR BEST INTEREST IN MIND. SINCE WE START WITH A CONSERVATIVE APPROACH, THIS COULD MEAN THAT THE INITIAL RESULTS COULD BE TOO LIGHT. BUT DON'T WORRY. SHAPE AND COLOR ADJUSTMENTS ARE NORMALLY MADE DURING SUBSEQUENT SESSIONS UNTIL YOUR DESIRED RESULTS HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED. 

  • YOU ARE DECLARING THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND HAVE NO OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INFORMATION IN THE LINKS IN THE FOOTER BELOW. 

  •  IF YOU HAVE ALREADY BOOKED YOUR PROCEDURE . . . Please be sure to return to this page to submit your CLIENT DATA, MEDICAL HISTORY, AND HEALTH DECLARATION prior to the day of your appointment. 

  • Please remember that following our guidelines does not guarantee 100% success. Bottom line, your own body has the final word on how much color with stay and how true the color heals. However, there are things we can do to help encourage MARGINALLY better color retention. Every client will have a different outcome. Just remember that shape and color can be adjusted on subsequent sessions

  • AFTER we see how the initial session has healed in. Then we will be able to tell what color and shape adjustments to make later. 

 

FOLLOWUP APPOINTMENT PRICING 

Appointment pricing is for the initial appointment only.

Follow-up pricing is a separate charge. Please see our PRICING PAGE for specific details.

 

BOOKING FEES, NO-SHOWS & LAST-MINUTE CHANGES

A NON-REFUNDABLE BOOKING FEE of 50% is collected at the time of booking to reserve your spot on our calendar. This fee is required to help clients remember the importance of their appointment as all procedures & classes here do require advance preparation time. 

WHY DO WE REQUIRE A 50% BOOKING FEE?

If you cancel inside the week prior to your appointment, we have no way of filling your spot to make up for lost revenue because other clients need time to prepare. So your commitment to booking indicates to us that you understand and are committed to the process, appointment, or class that you have scheduled.​

LAST-MINUTE APPOINTMENT CHANGES . . . . . $100

We understand that last-minute conflicts in scheduling may arise for you. If this happens, and you can work it out to fit you in ON OUR NEXT AVAILABILITY, then we will only charge $100 for missing the appointment, instead of forfeiting the entire booking fee.

REQUIRED:  A 5 DAY NOTICE OF CANCELLATION  

This notice is required to move your appointment.  NO EXCEPTIONS.  If a 5-day notice is not given, your booking fee will be forfeited due to the loss of income on our schedule because it is virtually impossible to fill your spot. 

  • If you are contagious or running a fever you will need to postpone your appointment. DURING COVID, we did everything possible to reset your appointments when clients became ill. We will continue to work with you should you become ill or encounter an UNAVOIDABLE conflict in your schedule.  If you are able to come within a week or two, we try to will reset with no penalty as a courtesy to you.

  • NO SHOWS will need to set a NEW appointment online and pay a NEW booking fee.

​​

  • If you are on antibiotics, you should postpone your appointment for a couple of weeks to allow the medication to leave your system.  Otherwise, there is a possibility that the treatment will not heal with optimal results. The medication is fighting to rid your body of a bug... and it may see the pigment as a potential threat, even though it's not. 

  • Appointments are set for an ample amount of time. We allow appointments to run one hour over the allotted time because we understand this is your face - and we want things to be as perfect as you do. However, if the appointment runs longer than one hour over the appointment will be called to an end. If time allows, extra time beyond will be billed at an additional $250 per hour.

  • About our booking System:  YOU MAY BOOK HERE FROM THIS WEBSITE, or make a note of this shortcut for future use:  Vagaro.com/Permetika   

    • We think the system is pretty seamless, but if you encounter any challenges, please let us know by leaving a message on the CONTACT US BUTTON. Screenshots are particularly helpful in troubleshooting issues.​APPOINTMENTS & CLASSES: ​

​​

  • APPOINTMENTS SHOULD BE BOOKED ON-LINE BY THE CLIENT or STUDENT.  This automated system ensures that bookings are created according to your schedule and there are no mistakes on our end.

​​

  • WHEN CHOOSING A PROCEDURE:

    • You do NOT have to know, understand or predetermine which style of work you need. When you arrive, we will discuss your options and your input will also be taken into consideration. Once we reach a decision, the procedure will begin. During this time, we will begin numbing for the procedure. 

​​

  • RESCHEDULING: 

    • WE UNDERSTAND THAT TRUE emergencies do arise, SO IF YOU HAVE LIFE ALTERING EVENT OR EXTREME ILLNESS, YOUR BOOKING FEE WILL NOT BE FORFEITED IF THE Appointment date is scheduled within a week or two.  

    • Appointments may be transferred to a new date prior to the five (5) day notice is required. This time is to allow time for another client to fill your spot.

    • You may change your appointment as often as you need to. No need to inform us.   

      • Do this by searching your email for your last appointment notification. There you will find a link to reset your appointment. As always, if you need help, please contact us through our website messaging system.

  • BY BOOKING THIS APPOINTMENT, YOU AGREE WITH OUR "LESS IS BEST" CONCEPT AND ARE WILLING TO RETURN FOR SUBSEQUENT FOLLOW-UP SESSIONS TO COMPLETE THE WORK AND YOU UNDERSTAND OUR RECOMMENDATIONS AND POLICIES BELOW.  

  • We look forward to working with people who understand and agree with our LESS IS MORE approach. This means less work is done upfront to give us the opportunity to evaluate how things settle in on a small scale, then build toward your desired result over a period of a few months in subsequent perfecting sessions.

  • So don't be surprised if your work heals in too light. This is the case for most people... This means almost no one is left with work that is too dark.  Doing this allows us to get "closer to perfection" without crossing that line of regret!  And please realize, that while YOU ARE IN GREAT HANDS HERE, absolute perfection does not exist. There will always be something to work on. You just have to be realistic about your expectations and choose not to be radical in your idea of perfection. Working in SKIN can be problematic at times, and your patience is required in order to achieve optimal (not perfect) results. ​

  • Appointments are set for a normal allotted amount of time. We allow appointments to run one hour over the allotted time because we understand this is your face - and we want things to be as perfect as you do. However, if the appointment runs longer than one hour over the appointment will be called to an end. If time allows, extra time beyond will be billed at an additional $250 per hour.

❌  What to Do, Stop or Remove

Please note the following recommendations that apply - prior to any cosmetic tattooing session.

  • ALL PROCEDURES:  Start taking ARNICA MONTANA before your procedure to help reduce the effects of possible bruising, swelling, bleeding or inflammation which ALL make procedures more difficult to perform and reduce optimal results. Best to start a week or more before any cosmetic procedure but super helpful to continue taking during the healing phase.

  • BROWS and EYELINER:  Discontinue use of any growth serums for at least a month prior to session. 

​​​

  • EYES: REMOVE LASH EXTENSIONS at least 3-4 days prior to your procedure. This helps to minimize any extra sensitivity during the treatment. Rubbing the delicate skin of the eyelids can cause micro abrasions, which may lead to increased discomfort. Ensure to follow this guideline for a more pleasant experience.

  • EYES: REMOVE CONTACT LENSES. Bring your glasses to the appointment so you can see to drive home. For best results, do not reapply lenses until fully healed.

  • LIPS: COLD SORES or FEVER BLISTERS may break out if you don't prepare in advance! Ask your doctor for a prescription for an anti-viral medication to help minimize the risk. Take prior to, during and following your lip procedure. Taking 1,000 mg of Lysine per day also helps, but for best results, ask your doctor.​

​​

You’ll need a prescription antiviral. Start meds before and after your appointment.​​

📸 TEXT PHOTOS TO 713-340-4422

If you have existing permanent makeup or hyperpigmentation concerns, please send photos for evaluation.

Beautiful permanent cosmetics should look natural, not tattooed. 

Especially when it comes to eyebrows as they are the most important feature on the face. They instantly set the tone of  the face and bring an immediate, positive (or negative) impact to any face.  Poorly shaped or colored brow can wreck even the most beautiful of features.

Almost everyone wants NATURAL looking brows... but some don't realize that "perfect" brows do not look NATURAL. The empty spaces that seem too apparent in a 10x Magnification mirror, look NORMAL at a distance. Not every empty space should be filled in.  When done properly, this negative space is what makes the brows look believable, not stamped on!  You just have to resist the urge to fill every open spot! On the other hand, those open spots should not create an obvious gap either. Brows should flow like a soft river.
 

  • We always aim to create REALISTIC looking brows here ...  When brows are TOO perfectly marked off and measured, the brows can take on an unrealistic look We want them to be super sexy and exciting. Not RIGID & MECHANICAL SUPERHERO BROWS! You don't want your brows to walk in before you do. What's important, is the fine artistic detail, that will bring your face to life!

  • During your session, I will explain what I'm doing and ask for your feedback along the way. This will ensure that you are happy with both the contour and colors we have blended. The treatment will then begin and will take 1-3 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure. 


Microblading & Microshading has definitely taken the world by storm. 

These soft, realistic looking strokes help to create the illusion of beautiful full brows by replacing a few missing strokes or simulating an entire brow! This is an awesome service for people suffering from any kind of brow hair loss. These strokes look so real, they can even fool the clients using a 10x magnifying mirror!


Whether you call it BROW MICROBLADING, MICRO STROKING, 3D BROWS, FEATHERED BROWS, etc... you should know that all of these techniques are still a form of cosmetic tattooing.  We try to duplicate the appearance of very natural looking brows by delicately depositing pigment into the superficial layer of the dermis. We use a hand tool with an extremely fine grouping of needles, much like a calligraphy pen. Our unique technique does not look like the cookie cutter style of perfectly traced lines. Our strokes can fool even the most discriminating eye. 

REALITY CHECK

I wish the terms "permanent" and "semi-permanent" didn't exist. Both are misleading.  We call it permanent because it does not wash off. We call it semi-permanent, because it fades. But if someone tells you that it lasts forever or for only 18 months, BOTH CAN BE TRUE - AND BOTH CAN BE MISLEADING.  It all depends on the chemistry of your body and the relationship with your artist!  There is no magic date that your new brows are programmed to disappear.

BE CAREFUL WHO YOU TRUST.

If you will seek out SEASONED PROFESSIONALS who have completed comprehensive training, have years of successful procedures behind them, and who thoroughly understand this complex process - you will GREATLY minimize your risk of unhappiness!  It is also essential to check that the technicians carry the appropriate licenses. In the right hands, it can be a positively life changing experience. In the wrong hands, you might be spending a lot of money and time undoing an unfortunate decision.

Artistry in this field is largely unregulated in many states. And there are so many classes being formed by self proclaimed "masters" - it's mind boggling! ANYONE can pass out a certificate granting newbies virtual confidence.... The truth is, there is no way to learn this craft in 2-3 days. Even if an artist does beautiful work, you better watch for cross-contamination disasters. It's not easy to get in the habit of using aseptic techniques. And CLIENTS ARE EVEN LESS AWARE... My question to everyone is this:  What good are new brows, if you're now battling Hepatitis? It's take an acute awareness that extends far beyond sterile needles and single use disposables & disinfected skin prior to the service. . .   All it takes is one slip up to contaminate the next client.

PAIN CONTROL

Even though we use a numbing agent of 4% Lidocaine, there may be some discomfort associated with the procedure. This discomfort normally rates on a scale from 0-4 out of 10, pain level. Everyone is different, but we do our best to maintain your comfort level through distraction techniques and breaks if you need them. Microblading rarely produces serious complications

And along with any tattooing the skin, may come some associated risks such as the transmission of Blood Borne Pathogenic Organisms, such at Hepatitis and HIV. Allergic reactions to the pigments and or ointments are also a possibility, but are very unlikely.

CONSULTATIONS

It is recommended (but not mandatory) that you schedule a FREE PHONE CONSULTATION or

a PRIVATE CONSULTATION - And get an ALLERGY SKIN TEST if you have sensitive skin.​​​​​
