"I found it cheaper"

“I found it cheaper”

Look, I’m a HUGE bargain shopper and I will shop around until I can save every. last. penny. Ask my friends and they will ALL tell you that I am THE QUEEN of ROSS. I AM A MAXXINISTA. TAR-GéT is MY FORTé. But when it comes to MY FACE. Hold up. That’s a different story.

A lot of people have asked me why I haven’t done my own brows. Well, I have a lot of brow hairs already (thanks mom & dad) but also I have trust issues with my face. I’m serious! I did my own makeup for my wedding. The one time I had my makeup done “professionally”, I hated it. It is this very reason why I appreciate the heck out of all the clients who have trusted me, and refer me to those they love and care about. THAT MEANS EVERYTHING.

When looking for a PMU artist for your brows, there is so much more than pricing to consider. Look at their portfolio, their reviews, their HEALED work. How thorough are they with your consultation? Where is the studio? How does that look like? Are they certified? Registered with the county to practice? How long have they been doing this? Does this artist fit into my style/brow goals?

The example photos above are actual brows that I have been working on removing. Each lightening/removal session is $100 and most times, it takes more than 1 session. It’s time-consuming and costly. Not all of them were necessarily CHEAPER than me either. 

My point is that when you approach an artist about their price, keep in mind what else you’re paying for as well. All the hours they spent training, practicing, perfecting their craft. Their artistic capabilities and style. Their overhead. Their dreams. We’re all small businesses and we’re all trying to pay our bills too. 

Thanks for reading my thoughts! :)
