Permanent Cosmetics
Esthetics
It is a cosmetic tattoo that enhances features like brows and lips using specialized pigments implanted into the skin to give hyper-realistic results. Each service is fully customized to your individual features, skin type, and goals. I offer multiple techniques for both brows and lips to ensure the most natural, balanced result tailored specifically to you. Results are long-lasting but not truly permanent - they are meant gradually fade over time.
Most clients can expect results to last approximately 1–3 years, sometimes longer depending on the style and technique used. Longevity varies from person to person and is influenced by several factors, including:
Skin type
Sun exposure and tanning
Skincare products and active ingredients
Aftercare and healing process
Individual body chemistry and immune response
To maintain optimal color and definition, refresh appointments are typically recommended every 18–24 months, though some clients prefer annual maintenance depending on how their pigment fades and their desired look.
Microblading
A manual technique that creates fine, hair-like strokes for a soft, natural result. Best suited for normal to dry skin, but can work for some with more oily skin.
Nano Brows
Created using a machine for ultra-fine, precise hair strokes. This technique is suitable for a wider range of skin types compared to traditional microblading - but offers a different look.
Ombré Brows (or Classic Powder Brows)
A soft-shaded brow that mimics the look of a filled-in makeup effect. Ideal for oily, mature, or combination skin and for clients wanting more definition.
Combination Brows
A blend of hair strokes and soft shading for added fullness and structure. Great for clients who want both dimension and definition.
Disclaimer: Each service can be made to look "natural" in different ways. This all depends on your existing hair pattern and skin type.
You may not be eligible if you:
Are pregnant
Are currently undergoing chemotherapy
Have uncontrolled diabetes
Are prone to keloid scarring
Have active skin infections or irritation in the area
Are currently using Accutane (within the past 6–12 months)
Are unable to follow precare or aftercare instructions
A consultation is always recommended if you’re unsure.
Possibly - however, all previous permanent makeup must be approved by me before scheduling.
I am not able to work over ALL existing pigment, as it depends on factors such as color, saturation, placement, and how much ink remains in the skin. In some cases, correction or lightening may be required prior to booking.
If you have had your brows done before, please send clear, makeup-free photos in natural lighting to @browsbylexylauren before requesting an appointment.
Failure to receive approval in advance may result in the appointment being canceled and the cancellation policy applied.
If you have had previous permanent makeup done by another artist, you will be considered a new client and booked at the full initial appointment rate.
Touch-up, perfecting session, and color boost pricing are reserved exclusively for returning clients whose original procedure was completed by me. Because I cannot guarantee or fully assess the depth, technique, or pigment used by another artist, previous work must be treated as a new service.
Once you have completed your initial appointment with me, you will then unlock access to my returning client touch-up and maintenance pricing moving forward.
All previous work must be approved prior to booking.
If you have a more in depth question or concern please contact me directly.
