What moves the price
- Complexity of the procedure — correcting or covering old permanent makeup takes longer than working on fresh skin.
- Experience of the technician — a technician known for brows and lip blushing usually charges more per treatment.
- Location of the studio — permanent makeup studios in the cities tend to charge more than those elsewhere.
- Area being treated — eyebrows, eyeliner and lips are priced as separate permanent makeup treatments.
- Technique used — microblading and powder shading take different amounts of time and skill, so brows are priced by technique.

How to pay less
- Asking whether the first touch-up is included in the permanent makeup price can save paying for it separately later.
- You can ask whether booking brows and eyeliner in the same appointment costs less than booking each treatment separately.
- Following the aftercare advice helps the colour settle well, which can save paying for an extra touch-up.
- A colour boost before the permanent makeup fades completely usually costs less than a full new treatment later.
- Weekday permanent makeup appointments are sometimes priced lower than evening or Saturday slots, so it helps to ask.
