What to Know Before Booking Permanent Makeup

Thinking About Permanent Makeup? Here’s What to Know Before You Book

Permanent makeup can be a game-changer, saving you time, boosting your confidence, and helping you feel your best from the moment you wake up. But before you book your first appointment, there are a few important things to know to ensure the best possible experience.

At The Beauty Room in Macclesfield, I believe that beautiful results start with clear expectations, open conversations, and a safe, supportive environment. So here’s my guide on what to consider before saying yes to PMU.

1. Choose an Artist You Trust

This is your face, and it deserves the best. Always choose a PMU artist who:

- Has a clean, professional space

- Uses high-quality pigments and sterile equipment

- Has proper training and insurance

- Shows clear before-and-after examples of their work

Don’t be afraid to ask questions. A good artist will always welcome them.

At The Beauty Room, I’m fully qualified, insured, and committed to continuous professional development to give you natural, flattering results in a calm, private setting.

2. Book a Consultation First

A proper consultation is essential. This is your chance to:

- Share your goals and concerns

- Ask about shape, colour, and technique

- Discuss your medical history

- Get a feel for the space and the person performing your treatment

I offer consultations with no pressure to book — because it’s essential you feel 100% confident before proceeding.

3. Understand the Process

Permanent makeup is a two-stage treatment — initial application followed by a touch-up after healing. This ensures longevity and the best final colour. You may experience some redness or flaking during the healing process, so it’s best not to schedule your treatment right before an event or holiday. Results appear softer and more natural once fully healed.

4. Patch Testing Is Essential

All PMU treatments at The Beauty Room include a mandatory patch test. This ensures you don’t have an allergic reaction to the pigments or numbing cream. I’ll provide this well in advance of your appointment — it’s a vital part of the safety process.

5. Set Realistic Expectations

Permanent makeup is designed to enhance, not replace, your features. It won’t look like a full face of makeup, and that’s the beauty of it. Together, we’ll create a look that’s natural, flattering, and suited to your face and lifestyle. The goal is to wake up looking like the best version of you.
