Alkeme Beauty

Alkeme Beauty is a permanent makeup studio in Nashville focused on brow and lip enhancements, which it says it provides for all skin types, genders and ethnicities. The artist, a Nashville native, describes a soft approach that is conservative about pigment color and saturation, meant to avoid harsh, dark brows. Brow services include ombre brows (microshading), combination brows, hybrid brows (a microblading base with light shading), and correction or cover-up of older brow tattoos. For lips, they offer lip neutralization to camouflage cool or bluish tones.

A second session, called a color boost or touch-up, lets the artist check healed symmetry, and the studio recommends a yearly color boost after that. At the appointment, clients are taken through the options to find what suits their skin and lifestyle. The FAQ says numbing is applied once the brow outline is done, and that with proper care brows can last 1 to 3 years and lips 3 to 5 years. Clients with visible previous brow work are asked to send clear photos by email or text for approval before booking online. The site also lists health conditions that may rule out treatment.
