Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do to prepare for my permanent make-up (PMU) appointment?
Excited and nervous? We know! Here are a few tips that will help you prepare:
Clients can already fill out the forms you will need right on our website! Please fill the Medical Questionnaire and the PMU Consent and Waiver Form. Tattoo removal clients should fill the Medical Questionnaire and the Saline Tattoo Removal Consent and Waiver Form.
1. Please refrain from using any skin care items with retinol/retin A, glycolic acids or any items that may cause mild skin peeling for at least 3 days prior to your service.
2. Do not take any aspirin or blood thinning medication (unless directed by physician) for at least 12 hrs prior to service.
3. Please no alcohol or mind altering medications for at least 24 hrs prior to service.
4. Wear comfortable clothing! You may also want to bring a light jacket. We advise clothing be dark colors to better prevent any ink staining that may occur.
5. Please no foundation/eye shadow on procedure day. You may wear light moisturizer.
-If receiving an eyebrow service, you should arrive with your eyebrows drawn (but no foundation) to show the typical eyebrow shape you like everyday. The eyebrow makeup will be cleansed prior to service, but this is taken into consideration when we draw the shape for your procedure.
-If receiving the Lip Blush service, you may wear chapstick, but no heavy or waterproof/longwear lipstick.
What protocols do you have in place for COVID?
Due to the close proximity of service for extended time, we require clients to wear masks if not fully vaccinated. Technicians at Posh Pinay Beauty are all vaccinated and will continue to wear a mask during PMU service. We also clean and disinfect the establishment after every client, to include UV-C sterilization of the room.
What if I need to cancel (cancellation policy)?
Don't worry! Posh Pinay Beauty Bar has got a cancellation policy to cover you. A client can reschedule an appointment one time if it is more than 48 hours from the appointment time. If it is within 48 hrs, a $20 cancellation fee will be charged, and the client will need to reschedule the appointment for a 2nd date. If a client chooses not to reschedule after a primary cancellation, the consultation fee and cancellation fee will be charged ($80). If a client cancels again after rescheduling, the full permanent makeup service fee will be charged.
When should I get a touch up? How much is it?
We offer a complimentary touch up 6 weeks after your initial permanent makeup service. After that, we charge a fee. Follow up/Touch up appointments are ONE service. See "services" for more information or email for questions.
Does permanent makeup hurt?
Most of our clients experience very minimal discomfort if any at all. Numbing cream is used throughout the procedure to mitigate pain, and permanent makeup does not go as deep (into the dermis) as a traditional tattoo. However, all clients should keep in mind that this is still a procedure that involves the use of needles, very much like a tattoo. Discomfort (if any) can quickly be mitigated.
Can I get more than one service at the same appointment?
YES! Clients can receive more than one procedure in one appointment. Please be sure to indicate exactly what you want to receive during your consultation.
Ahhhhhhhh! I just got my eyebrows done and they are WAY too dark! What do I do!?
Step 1.....Breathe! This is completely normal right after an eyebrow service, and in your after-care pamphlet. Many clients even experience "brow shock" at the sudden appearance of full brows. Your brows will remain dark for about 3-4 days before they begin to scab and fade to a lighter color. Your results will lighten during the healing process. We will also have an opportunity to go over any trouble areas during your touch-up appointment. Trust the process!
How do I pay?
Clients will receive an invoice of services for payment via e-mail that includes a payment link through PayPal. Clients do not need a PayPal account and can use the following cards for invoice payment/receipt: Mastercard, American Express, Discover, VISA, Western Union, Eway. We also accept cash, Venmo, and Cashapp. You can also pay directly through the Paypal payment link on our site: Posh Pinay Payment .
Can I bring my dog/pet?
Sorry Todo! :-( Unfortunately, for hygienic reasons, we do not allow any animals in our establishment. Please call ahead if this is an emotional support pet. You will need to bring a second person to wait with the animal outside the service room/facility.
