Pretty Please Studio Permanent Makeup Artistry

  When Chemotherapy Steals Your Brows (Rude.) Cancer already takes enough from a man. Your energy. Your time. Your patience. And then—just to be extra disrespectful—it sometimes takes your hair too. Head hair, body hair, and yes… eyebrows. Most men know the deal with head hair: it may grow back, it may come back curlier, straighter, darker, lighter, or with a whole new personality. Brows, though? Brows are divas. Those hair follicles are far more delicate, and they don’t always bounce back the way we hope. The result? Sparse brows. Missing tails (the ends of the brows). Or brows that look like they quietly retired without telling you. Why Brows Matter More Than You Think You might not have paid much attention to your eyebrows before—but once they’re gone or thinned out, wow. Brows frame your eyes. They give you expression. They keep you from looking permanently surprised, tired, or vaguely confused.  And something that we don't think about...Eyebrows break up the forehea...

  Hey Guys—Let’s Talk...big sister here! Brow lacks volume, color and shape Alright, I’m going to say the quiet part out loud—because I care. 😉 If you’re a man 45 and over, chances are you’ve noticed some changes . Maybe it crept up slowly, maybe it felt like it happened overnight—but you’ve definitely clocked it in the mirror. The greying hair. Saggy eyelids. That puffiness under your eyes that didn’t used to be there. Brows thinning out… or turning gray. Lips losing their pink tone and looking a little thinner. Wrinkles showing up around the eyes, face, and neck like they pay rent. You notice it. Men always do. What most men don’t do? Talk about it. You’re not venting to your buddies at the bar about eyebrow hair loss. You’re probably not bringing it up in the locker room. Some men talk to their wives or girlfriends—but a lot of you just quietly live with the disappointment and keep moving. And let me tell you something lovingly honest: suffering in silence doesn’t ...

  Before and After Permanent Makeup Eyebrows Microblading, Nano Blading, Ombre, Softap and Rotary machines. Permanent Makeup — short guide to the benefits, the concerns, and the right questions to ask an Cosmetic Tattoo Artist. Permanent makeup ( eyebrows, eyeliner, lip blushing ) can save time, restore symmetry, and subtly refresh your face — when it’s done well it looks like you , not like a mask. Several tattooing modalities exist (microblading, nano blading, Softap , ombre, and rotary-machine cosmetic tattooing). All can produce natural results; the difference often comes down to the artist’s skill, color choice, and technique — not just the tool. Common fears and concerns: “Will it look fake or too harsh?” Choose an artist whose portfolio shows the natural style you want. Ask about color theory and how they match pigments to your skin tone. “Does it hurt?” Most clients report mild discomfort; topical numbing prior and during the procedure is standard. Expect mild ten...

Are Men Self-Conscious About Missing Brow Hairs? Click Image for more Before/After Photos The answer: absolutely .

  Men Can Look Younger with Subtle Permanent Makeup  aka Cosmetic Tattoo Aging brings changes that can make the face look tired, less defined, and older than we feel inside. While skincare and hair grooming help, many men overlook one powerful tool for restoring a youthful look: permanent makeup . When done subtly, it doesn’t look like makeup at all—it simply restores the definition, structure, and color that naturally fade with age.

  Why Men’s Skincare Matters—The earlier you start, the better. Men are discovering permanent makeup, microblading and nano brows to restore definition around their eyes.  With age, their brow hairs are lighter in color, eyebrows are getting thinner, sparse, and have no shape.  Their lashes are lighter and thinning out too.   As a Permanent Makeup Artist , while designing their new eyebrows, I ask them a simple question.  What is your daily skin care routine?  Most common answer: I wash my face with soap morning and night.  Ta Dah!!!  That’s the jist of their routine.   It’s Not Just Vanity—It’s Vitality.  Looking rugged is no longer in, unless you're rangling cattle. For decades, skincare has been branded as feminine—but the truth is, healthy skin is not gendered. For men in their 30s and 40s, developing a solid skincare routine isn’t just about looking good. It’s about preserving the health, texture, and resilience of your ...

When I first started Permanent Makeup Artistry, I was trying to find a niche market.  How can I be different from every other Permanent Makeup Artist? I started thinking..."what if I marketed "Organic" pigment that's made from natural plants and extracts?' I found a Pigment Manufacturer who claimed that her pigments are "Organic". I soon discovered that Organic pigment still contains Iron Oxide otherwise our skin would quickly absorb pure 'Organic' extracts.  As a result, the pigment wouldn't last. So whether someone tells you they use 'organic' or 'in-organic' pigment, they all have low doses of iron oxide.  The traces are low, therefore, not harmful to your body. By the way, I soon discovered that every Permanent Makeup Artist is unique.  They put their art on women's faces.  Our clients trust us to make them more beautiful than when they first walked in.  Our job is to make your brows frame and enhanc...

Permanent Makeup benefits both men and women. Men lose definition and color around their eyes  and mouth as they age.  Their lashes and eyebrows grow grey, leaving them look washed out around the eyes in photos.  Their lip color fades and lose volume. Lashline or Guy Liner permanent makeup procedure can benefit men who have fair skin and hair.  Lip Blushing or Lip Tint can subtly restore lost color to the lips. For women, the eyeliner is applied in a continuous line along the lashline.  However, for men, series of dots are applied directly on their lash line.  The procedure, when healed, isn't visible within 2 feet distance, but will subtly and discreetly restore color and definition to your eyes. prettypleasestudio.com San Ramon, CA KeyWords: Permanent Makeup, Micro Blade, Brow loss, No Brows, Get Brows, Need brows, Hate my brows, eyebrows, Brow Hair, Brow hair loss, nano blading, Micro Pigmentation, Brow Tattoo, men brow hair, Male thinning...
