EL's Permanent Beauty

EL's Permanent Beauty is a Bellevue, Washington studio offering permanent makeup and scar camouflage. Their site lists work on eyebrows, lips and eyeliner. For brows, they offer powder brows, hair-stroke reconstruction and combination brows. They also rebuild brows lost to alopecia, medical treatment, scarring or other causes. Clients with older brow tattoos can be assessed for color correction or cover-up, and the studio notes that removal is sometimes recommended first.

Each brow visit begins with a consultation. The artist then measures and sketches a design, and the client approves it before any pigment goes in. The studio says to set aside roughly three hours for a full brow appointment. It describes the work as usually a two-step process, with a follow-up visit several weeks later once the skin has healed. According to their site, a topical numbing product may be applied where suitable, and most clients have their color refreshed every one to three years.
