Three ways to get a consultation
Whichever way you choose, the consultation is free and takes 15 minutes at most. Afterwards you decide in your own time: the 30% deposit is due only once you have decided, and it secures your appointment.
- On WhatsApp
- A few messages are often enough to find out whether a treatment is possible for you at all, for example with a health condition or existing permanent makeup. A photo helps me.
- At the studio
- You come to my studio in Berlin-Spandau for a short visit and talk everything through with me in person.
- At the start of your appointment
- If you book a treatment straight away, the consultation comes at the start of that appointment, before the treatment begins.
What the consultation covers
- Your wishes
- You tell me which treatment you’re interested in and how you’d like the result to look. That shows which technique is an option for you.
- Health
- I ask about allergies, medication and medical conditions, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Your answers show me whether the treatment is safe for you and whether your skin can heal well.
- Skin type
- Whether your skin tends to be oily or dry, and how sensitive it is, decides which technique and pigment I choose. Skin type affects how the colour holds and how the area heals: oily skin may need a little more shading, while dry or thin skin calls for a lighter hand.
- Existing permanent makeup
- If you already have permanent makeup in the same place, a photo helps me. From it I can judge whether the old pigment can be corrected or whether I lighten it first.
What happens only at the treatment appointment
At the treatment appointment I pre-draw the shape and colour, as the first part of the treatment. I only start pigmenting once you are happy with the drawing.
- Shape
- Using a pencil, I draw the shape directly onto your skin. You check it in the mirror, and I adjust it until you like it.
- Colour
- Once the shape is right, I try a few pigment shades on your skin. I’m looking for the one that will look natural once healed: not too dark and not too warm.
- Consent and photos
- Before I start, you fill in a short consent form and I photograph the area. The photos stay private unless you give me permission to show your result; at the touch-up I use them to see how everything has healed.
What I need to know
At the consultation I ask about these points. If one of them applies to you, you can also message me beforehand.
Please tell me about
- Allergies, for example to lidocaine
- Any medication you take
- Medical conditions
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Earlier permanent makeup in the same place
I don’t pigment during pregnancy or while you are breastfeeding: the treatment waits until afterwards.
If you already have permanent makeup
Faded brows, or a lip line that didn’t heal well: I take a close look at old permanent makeup and tell you honestly what can be done. It helps to send me a sharp photo in daylight beforehand, without makeup.
Sometimes it can be corrected in one session, but often not straight away. If the old pigment has changed colour or is still strong, I first even out the colour in a session of its own. The new shape and colour follow once your skin has healed.
If the old pigment is still dark or uneven, I lighten it first myself, without a laser. For very old and very dark pigment I sometimes recommend a laser treatment first, at least one session, and then carry on lightening it myself. With my method alone, it would take many sessions.
Questions about the consultation
Can’t find your question? I answer personally.
Do I need to know which shape or technique I want?
No. Most clients simply point to what they would like changed, and that is enough to start with. From there I suggest the technique that suits you and explain why. The shape is drawn at the treatment appointment, and I only start once you have approved it.
I’m worried about pain. Can I bring that up?
Yes, tell me at the consultation. Everyone feels pain differently. For every permanent makeup treatment I offer a numbing cream, and you decide whether you want it.
What should I keep in mind before the treatment?
Read the preparation advice before your appointment. The essentials: no coffee, no alcohol and no blood thinners for 24 hours beforehand, and no facial or other cosmetic treatment right before the appointment.
Talk first, decide later.
The consultation is free. Message me in English, German or Russian.
