We are looking to introduce semi-permanent make-up services to our treatment menu, what should we do to ensure we are properly equipped to do so?
Semi-permanent make-up gives an array of benefits that range from shortening the time spent applying cosmetics each day to helping clients with cosmetic and medical conditions. It is a long-term investment for both the salon and the clients. Semi-permanent make-up will enhance the appearance of eyebrows, eyes, lips and scalp, as well as camouflaging scars and other skin discolouration. This is achieved through a process in which an organic pigment is embedded beneath the skin to add colour. The procedure involves the use of a hand-held device that punctures the skin hundreds of times per minute with a very thin needle and pushes the pigment into the desired location.
It is one of the most sought after beauty treatments today, especially from busy mums and working women. In fact semi-permanent make-up can benefit anybody of any age or complexion.
Semi-permanent make-up is for people who don’t want to spend time applying make-up all day long. It is a make-up treatment that will last for years. It is also designed to enrich a person’s features and can give them a beautifully groomed look, day in, day out. Whether they are just waking up, swimming laps, or working up a sweat, their make-up will look perfect all the time.
Semi-permanent make-up can last anything between two to four years, but this can depend on skin type, sun exposure and lifestyle. This is why we recommend to clients to have a top up treatment after several months to keep the look fresh and complete.
However effective and long-lasting results will depend not only on the quality of the product and skills of the technician, but also on the preand post-procedure care. Only the perfect balance between machine, needles, colour and application technique can achieve the correct result.
Semi-permanent make-up is a luxury treatment that can be offered at any salon, clinic or spa. In order to be able to offer this service at your premises you first need to have trained and licensed staff. To become a semi-permanent makeup artist, you must be trained by a recognised and licensed training school that specialises in semi-permanent make-up. When choosing a training programme, I strongly recommend paying attention to the course curriculum, the theory, the practical and hands-on experience received. Furthermore, the school that you choose, if you are based in the UAE, must be licensed by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) and the Health Authority. Only through the KHDA will you be able to receive a license from the municipality to legally work as a semi-permanent make-up artist in this region.
Semi-permanent make-up is a precision treatment; therefore it is vital to choose a recognised brand that adheres to the latest international standards within the cosmetic industry. To make it worthwhile, investigate only established semi-permanent makeup technicians and equipment that can help deliver superior results.
