Isabelle Turgeon

Audrey was recommended to me by my group of friends and I could not be happier. I am not one to use make up regularly and was looking to enhance, with a natural look, my brows and add eyeliner to my eyes. Her professionalism, excellent knowledge and technics blew me away. She is professional on every front and very warm and friendly. I recommend her fondly to anyone wanting to improve their features while still looking natural. Merci Audrey!

Audrey is simply amazing. I drive two hours to get my lashes done with her. Her technique is perfect. She is so patient with her clients and genuinely listens. I strongly recommend Audrey for all of her services because you can trust she will do an amazing job .

Sim Pop

Audrey is a rare gem. Very knowledgeable and professional. Meticulous. Punctual and reliable. I went at my first appointment without knowing her or how she works, I gave her my full confidence and 1 year after… I still don’t regret it. My eyebrows and eyeliner look gorgeous and haven’t done any touch up yet… and I am still receiving compliments ( or jealous stares) about the shape of my eyebrows. I wholeheartedly recommend Audrey!

Lisa Green

Couldn’t not recommend Audrey any more highly, she is meticulous and precise in her work. My otherwise sparse brows are absolute perfection after she worked her magic. I have sent many clients her way and will continue to recommend her services. She’s the BEST!

Sylvie Gibeault

Audrey Richer est une professionnelle d’exception. Très minutieuse, elle prends toujours le temps de trouver ce qui me convient. Elle a corrigé mes sourcils qui avaient été faits par une autre esthéticienne. Elle a fait mon maquillage Eye-ligners qui est magnifique. Sans trop exagéré, qui fait ressortir les yeux. Je recommande cette personne qui a tout mon respect. Sylvie Gibeault

Je la recommande sans aucune hésitation!

Maude Leprohon

J’ai commencé à aller voir Audrey pour le service de lashlift et finalement en voyant sa passion je lui ai aussi fait confiance pour mes sourcils (powder brows). Je suis tellement contente et je n’aurais pas envisagé ce service pour moi avant de la rencontrer. Elle est perfectionniste et s’assure que ses clientes sont 100% satisfaites. Elle donne plusieurs informations avant le rendez-vous afin qu’on soit bien renseigné sur la procédure.

Kristelle Berube

Audrey est tellement professionnelle. Elle est à l’écoute de ce qu’on recherche et je savais que j’allais avoir un résultat naturel. J’adore vraiment mes sourcils et mes lèvres. Je conseille Audrey à 100%

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

General questions

What is permanent makeup?

Permanent and semi-permanent makeup is the implantation of pigment into the skin in specific areas to enhance a person’s natural features using a dermograph or a manual tool (microblading).

What is the difference between permanent and semi-permanent makeup?

The main difference is the level of pigment implantation in the skin. The intensity of the color and the saturation of the pigment (number of layers of implanted color) will affect the duration of the makeup. Most makeup today is semi-permanent.

With semi-permanent makeup, the pigment is implanted in the first layer of the skin (the epidermis) and the techniques are created with low pigment saturations, so the makeup will fade over time. The Hair Effect and the Powder Effect for eyebrows, as well as the Lip Blush Effect for lips created with a dermograph are semi-permanent techniques. The same goes for the microblading technique. Touchups are recommended every 8 to 16 months.

For a makeup to become permanent, the pigment will be implanted in the second layer of the skin (the dermis). Intralash and eyeliner for the eyes are permanent techniques. As well as the eyebrow Ombré Effect. All created with a dermograph. Touch-ups are recommended every 16 to 36 months to revive the color.

What do I need to know before scheduling an appointment?

There are contraindications (see next question), so if you are taking any medication or have any health problems, please inform the technician of them.

A touch-up to maintain the result every year will be recommended.

For information on general preparations, aftercare, healing phases and procedures upon arrival, please see the ” Pre-appointment preparations” page.

What are the contraindications for permanent and semi-permanent makeup?

A doctor’s note will be required if you currently have or have had any of the following conditions:

  • Epilepsy
  • HIV
  • Hepatitis
  • Diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • Heart problems
  • Having had cancer in the last 2 years
  • Taking anticoagulants on a regular basis
  • Having a defective immune system, such as lupus, multiple sclerosis, fibrosis, etc.

Contraindications :

  • Being pregnant
  • Be in the breastfeeding period
  • For anyone who has had injections, make sure that they have taken place 2-3 weeks before and do not
  • do any 2 to 3 weeks after the procedure
  • Have had a previous allergy to a tattoo or semi-permanent makeup
  • Have an active cancer
How to find the right pigmentation technician for you?

Each client requires a different treatment, approach and technique. It is important to know that each skin has a different texture and a different undertone of color to neutralize. There is no eyebrow that is the same or has the same measurement.

Training in permanent and semi-permanent makeup is not the subject of a single training. A technician in this field will need to seek out certain additions to their course such as a deeper knowledge in colorimetry, different style of hair placement to create more realistic effects, a lot of practice on practice skin before creating a facial feature that will stay for months on a client, etc.

Each technician has his/her own style, vision and care for their clients. Qualifications and priorities vary for each technician. Here are some tips to ask and validate this information with your technician during your search:

  • Ask and validate, if necessary, his or her qualifications to see if the techniques are up to date.
  • What is the experience with pain (especially for lip pigmentation), is an anaesthetic cream used
    at the beginning of the procedure?
  • What kind of pigment is used, as some have the risk of staining the skin, including those with a
    high concentration of ink or iron oxide? To learn more about pigments as a client, see the
    question below.
  • At what level of implantation does the technician work at for the techniques you are interested
    in?
  • And what do you need to do and/or know before the procedure?
Why is permanent makeup not what it used to be?

The big difference with the permanent makeup technique of the past and the one of today is the depth of implantation, the pigments used and the innovative techniques. In the past, people sought makeup in the form of a tattoo which was a deep procedure and ink was in the skin.

The internet and social networks have revolutionized the technique of permanent makeup. Now innovation and related information are at our disposal and the means to learn from great international masters are much easier.

We now know how deep to go into the skin for the different effects desired. Pigments are either repelled by the skin, faded by the weather or digested by the body in the long term if a semi-permanent procedure has been opted for. And now, a Hair Effect or a discreet make-up effect is possible for a natural and semi-permanent effect.

What should I know about touch-ups?

A touch-up during an initial procedure is crucial to a beautiful long-term result. The technician can take into consideration the quality of healing your skin is taking. Perfecting the details of pigmentation and color will give a more beautiful effect, longer. For example, if the color turns slightly gray or red, you may not see it, but the technician will be able to detect it and modify the color so that you don’t have red or gray eyebrows in the long run. The same goes for a section where the pigment has not taken as well.

For permanent procedures, a touch-up to revive the color should be planned every 12 to 36 months depending on the color and the client’s desire.

Touch-ups consist of the same steps as the initial procedure.

What affects the duration of pigmentation?

The type of skin; oily skin renews itself more quickly so the features created will fade more quickly.

The color used; the lighter the color, the faster the color will fade.

The maintenance; prolong the duration of your pigmentation by applying a sun protection before outdoor exposure and avoiding any AHA based product, fruit acid, exfoliating or for pigmentary spots.

Choosing the right technique for your skin type. Please refer to the description of the different techniques offered to know which clientele this one targets.
