- JNJean NobleJul 10, 20265.0Brittany is the best! I’ve gotten my lips, eyeliner, & eyebrows done by her. Highly recommend.
- RMRyan McNiffMar 22, 20265.0If I could, I would give Britney a 6 star review - she is a real pro! Through the whole process of camouflaging my FUT hair transplant scar, she was very kind and knowledgeable, and always responded quickly when I sent her a text message with a question. She charged a very reasonable price for the 3 sessions, and took a conservative approach to ensure that I got favorable results. Thank you for such a job well done, Britney - I am very happy with the results! :D
- CGCarla GNov 2, 20255.0Anita is an amazing artist and made me feel relaxed and comfortable in her knowledge and skills. She has such a kind demeanor and years of experience. She takes time to give a thorough consultation giving you confidence that she understands what look you want. The procedure wasn’t painful and I am so very happy with the results!
- RRRenee R.Sep 29, 20195.0Recently had permanent makeup applied to my eyebrows by Anita. Since then, I have had 2 random people walk up to me out of the blue and say, "Your skin is so beautiful! It glows." Now, there is nothing different about my skin. It is the same as before. What I think they are noticing is that, since my eyebrows are more prominent and darker, it is making the skin around my eyes look brighter. I really think that is what people are noticing. These makeup artists at this salon are EXPERTS at color. I had a dusty old grey on the brows before, and Anita convinced me to go with a warm brown and it has made such a difference. Listen to them as to what colors to use, as they really know what they are doing.
- CWCarol WalickeAug 4, 20175.0I have used Permanent Makeup Masters on three separate occasions. I have been so pleased that I'm ready to schedule my next appt. I have used both Anita and Britney. They are very knowledgable and professional and I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family. They are the best around and I would never go to anyone else !!!!!!!
Frequently Asked Questions About Permanent Effects
1. What sets Permanent Effects apart?
At Permanent Effects, we bring over three decades of expertise to permanent makeup. Our unique method employs a gentle approach for superior application and color retention. We collaborate with a pharmacist to create an industry-leading topical anesthetic. Our pigments are renowned for their longevity and color stability, ensuring lasting results for our clients.
2. How long does Permanent Makeup last, and what is the healing process?
Permanent makeup doesn’t wash off, but it does soften gradually. Longevity depends on your skin, sun exposure, skincare (especially retinoids/acids), pigment color, and placement. Typical refresh timelines at Permanent Effects:
• Brows: touch-up about every 2 years
• Eyeliner: generally 4–5 years
• Lip color / lip blush: generally 4–5 years
• Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP): refresh about every 3–6 years
We offer special pricing for touch-ups to help you maintain your look.
Healing: Right after your procedure, we apply a protective ointment. The area will look darker for a few days, then lightly flake as dead skin naturally exfoliates. Keep the area clean and dry, avoid sweating, sun, pools, and makeup on the site, and don’t pick. Most surface healing takes 7–14 days; the true color settles by 4–6 weeks, and we schedule a follow up visit at 4–6 weeks.
3. Is permanent makeup safe, and does it hurt?
With a qualified artist and proper hygiene, permanent makeup is very safe—and most clients report only minimal discomfort.
Safety at Permanent Effects (Scottsdale & Phoenix):
Our gentle technique keeps you comfortable while ensuring precise placement. We use sterile, single-use needles that are disposed of after each use. Our EU-compliant pigments are formulated for facial and scalp use, and we custom-mix colors to suit your skin tone and goals. You’ll go home with clear aftercare instructions for clean, quick healing.
Comfort during your appointment:
Most people describe the sensation as light scratching or pressure. We apply medical-grade topical anesthetics before and throughout the procedure, and our small-gauge needles plus a gentle technique help keep you comfortable—many clients relax or even nap.
4: Can you correct permanent makeup done by another artist (brows, eyeliner, or lips)?
Yes—we have extensive experience in correcting permanent makeup on brows, eyeliner, and lips. At your consultation we assess color and shape, then discuss neutralizing unwanted tones (such as pink/red or grey/blue eyebrows.) We may recommend lightening first if pigment is very dark or has migrated. Please note that additional charges may apply for correction services.
5: Does scalp micropigmentation damage hair follicles or cause hair loss?
No. SMP does not damage follicles and doesn’t cause additional hair loss; it camouflages thinning by replicating the look of hair follicles at the scalp surface.
6: How long does SMP last, and when will I need a touch-up?
SMP is long-lasting and fades gradually. Most clients book a touch-up every 3–6 years to keep the shade and hairline crisp; some prefer earlier refreshers sooner if they want a very sharp look or have higher sun exposure, oilier skin, or use exfoliating/retinoid skincare. Limiting sun and using SPF helps results last longer. At Permanent Effects, we offer special pricing for refreshers and can recommend timing during your check-in
7: How many SMP sessions will I need?
Most clients need 2–3 sessions spaced about two weeks apart (occasionally a fourth for fine-tuning). Sessions are typically a few hours each.
8: Can SMP be removed or changed later?
Yes—SMP can often be lightened or removed with modern pico/ND:YAG lasers, but it usually requires multiple sessions. Always treat SMP as a long-term decision.
9: Will SMP look natural (or shiny) in real life?
With proper hairline design, dot size, spacing, and color matching, SMP looks very realistic—even up close. Keeping the scalp matte (not shiny) helps the “follicle” dots read like natural stubble.
10: Can I come in for a consultation?
Yes. Permanent Effects offers complimentary consultations for both permanent makeup and scalp micropigmentation. We start with a brief phone call to answer your questions; from there, you can either book your appointment or schedule an in-person consultation. Call 480-284-6240 to reserve your complimentary consultation.
What makes Permanent Effects unique in the permanent makeup industry?
Permanent Effects brings over 35 years of experience and uses a gentle method for superior application and color retention. They collaborate with a pharmacist for a top-tier topical anesthetic and use long-lasting, color-stable pigments.
How long does permanent makeup typically last and what should I expect during healing?
Permanent makeup lasts years but softens gradually; touch-ups are recommended every 2-5 years depending on the area. Healing involves initial darkening and flaking over 7-14 days, with final color settling by 4-6 weeks.
Is permanent makeup safe and is the procedure painful?
Yes, with a qualified artist, permanent makeup is very safe using sterile needles and quality pigments. Most clients feel minimal discomfort, often described as light scratching or pressure, aided by medical-grade anesthetics.
Can Permanent Effects correct previous permanent makeup done by another artist?
Yes, they have extensive experience correcting color and shape issues in brows, eyeliner, and lips, possibly requiring lightening treatments. Additional charges may apply for correction services.
Does scalp micropigmentation (SMP) cause hair loss or damage hair follicles?
No, SMP camouflages thinning hair without damaging follicles or causing hair loss by replicating natural hair follicle appearance on the scalp surface.
How many sessions of scalp micropigmentation will I need?
Most clients require 2-3 sessions spaced about two weeks apart, occasionally a fourth session for fine-tuning; each session lasts a few hours.
