With access to semi-permanent make-up in Wirral and indeed across the UK as a whole having never been greater, it’s hardly surprising so many men and women alike are considering a variety of procedures. Whether it’s as a solution to conventional cosmetic allergies, restoration of confidence in the wake of an illness/surgery or simply as a means to free up an abundance of personal time day in and day out, semi-permanent make-up really is changing the lives of more Brits than ever before.

That being said however, the short-term and long-term outcomes alike will in every instance be determined by the quality of the clinic or provider chosen. Just because there are literally hundreds of brands and businesses offering semi-permanent make-up these days doesn’t for one minute mean that they are all of the same calibre. In fact the reality is quite to the contrary – some offering a truly world-class semi-permanent make-up procedures, others investing in dated equipment and marketing their services online in a deliberately misleading manner.

The good news however is that ensuring you work with only the very best in the business is actually relatively simple. It’s just a case of ticking a few crucially important boxes, in order to establish the merit, value and safety of your chosen semi-permanent make-up service before going ahead.

Here’s how to make it happen:

1 – First Impressions

First up, take the time to ponder the very first impression you get about the brand the first time you come across it. Whether it’s opening a pamphlet, walking into the clinic or simply heading over to its website, see what your first impressions tell you about the place. In a nutshell, if you are not immediately convinced that you are looking at a professional establishment run by those with the highest regard for what they do, you might want to consider looking elsewhere.

2 – Fair and Accurate Information

What’s unique about the semi-permanent make-up and much of the cosmetic surgery industry across the board is the way in which those operating within it have an overriding obligation to be 100% fair, accurate, honest and objective with their customers at all times.  Let’s put it this way – if and when you were to come across a semi-permanent make-up company which makes the claim that semi-permanent make-up is absolutely guaranteed to change your life for the better and transform you into a new person from head to toe, they’re basically showcasing their irresponsibility. And the same also goes for those who suggest that semi-permanent make-up is suitable for every man and woman across the board and without exception. This just isn’t the case, so those who claim as such are to be avoided.

3 – Cost-Free, Pressure-Free Advice

You should of course be able to access as much information as you like prior to going ahead with semi-permanent make-up, without having to pay through the nose. But at the same time, it’s important to take into account the nature of the advice you’re given and how it is delivered. The reason being that one of the most quintessentially important hallmarks of the high-end semi-permanent make-up provider is that of putting absolutely no pressure on clients or any sense of urgency on the matter. If it is abundantly clear from the word ‘go’ that you are in charge, in control and have all the time in the world to make up your mind, chances are it’s a brand of quality you’re looking at.

4 – Experience

While it’s not to say that every newcomer to the industry is to be avoided, there is something uniquely reassuring that comes with working with a brand that’s been around for some time. The reason of course being that experience breeds expertise which in turn breeds better results for you, the client. As such, you might want to think about looking into exactly how long they’ve been doing what they’re doing and factor this into your decision-making process.

5 – Hard Evidence

Last but not least, it’s really not too much to ask for any company involved in semi-permanent make-up to provide hard evidence to support their claims to fame.  This should be available in a variety of forms, including genuine before and after photographs of the work they’ve carried out. It’s also a good idea to check out the reputation and general public opinion of the brand online prior to going ahead, just to see what those who have used their services in the past have to say about them.
