Frequently Asked Questions
Interested to know if you are a good candidate for permanent makeup?
Keep reading to find answers to my most frequently asked questions!
Is there anything I should do to prepare for my facial or waxing appointment?
Jesse recommends to stop using any products containing retinol or exfoliating ingredients like salicylic/mandelic/glycolic acid 7 days before your treatment date.
Does permanent makeup hurt?
Pain is subjective and varies from person to person, however, Jesse does her best to make sure your service is as comfortable as possible with the use of topical, medical-grade anesthetics.
How often will I need a touch-up for my permanent makeup?
Everyone's body is different and will heal differently depending on their lifestyle, daily routines, and medication. Typically one touch-up is needed 6-12 weeks from the initial appointment. From there, we recommend refreshing the color annually or biannually. Occasionally, due to boldness preference, aftercare, or lifestyle, some clients may need additional touch-ups. Clients are responsible for these touch-ups unless otherwise stated.
Do you take insurance or financing?
I accept AfterPay if you book and pay for your full service online.
How do you determine the style and color of my permanent makeup?
Here at Jesse The Esti, I believe in facial harmony. Therefore, I do not use templates or elaborate drawing systems that would result in a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all design. During your appointment, special time is set aside to hear your goals and after actively listening to your desires, your shape is hand-drawn to fit your anatomy, personality, and lifestyle. The color is mixed to match as closely to your natural hair or permanent makeup desires. Your input in this process is greatly valued.
Are you license and legal to work in the state of Oklahoma?
Yes, Oklahoma has the highest and most rigorous standards for medical micropigmentation in the nation. Jesse adheres to all state regulations, holds current licenses and insurance, and continues to seek additional certifications and further her education.
