Introduction

In the age of TikTok trends and DIY beauty hacks, it’s easy to be lured by low-cost permanent makeup deals. But when it comes to something literally etched into your face, price shouldn't be your primary concern. Permanent makeup (PMU) is a highly specialized skill involving needles, pigments, skin biology, and aesthetics. When done right, it can boost confidence and eliminate daily makeup routines. When done wrong? Well… let’s just say you’ll be googling "PMU removal clinics" faster than you can say "botched brows."

1. The Real Cost of Cheap Work

You may think you're saving money by choosing a technician offering bargain-basement prices, but low prices often mean:

1. Inexperienced or unlicensed technicians
4. Low-quality pigments that fade to unnatural colors (hello, blue brows!)
7. Poor sanitation practices
10. Lack of proper training in facial symmetry or skin undertones

➡️ Case Study: A woman went to a “new artist” offering 8000/- for microblading. Six months later, she had orange brows, scarring, and had to pay over 15000/- for corrective work — not including laser removal.

2. Horror Story Highlights: Real-Life Regrets

1. Botched Brows: A client left a salon with eyebrows tattooed in two completely different shapes. The artist admitted she’d only practiced on silicone pads before doing her first “live” model.
4. Liner Gone Wrong: One client ended up in the ER with an eye infection after getting eyeliner tattooed in a dirty environment. The technician used unsterilized tools — a major health hazard.
7. Lip Tint Trauma: A poorly done lip blush turned into a cold sore outbreak due to zero client screening or aftercare education. Not only painful, but risky for anyone with HSV-1.

3. Why Quality Work Costs More

Professional PMU artists invest in:

1. Certified and ongoing training
4. High-quality pigments and sterile tools
7. Licenses, insurance, and proper studio setups
10. Deep understanding of facial anatomy, skin types, and color theory

You're not just paying for the appointment — you're paying for peace of mind and professional results that last and heal beautifully.

4. Red Flags to Watch Out For

If you're shopping for PMU services, beware of:

1. Suspiciously low pricing (under 2000 for brows or 2500 for lips is a red flag)
4. No portfolio or only stock images
7. No healed results shown
10. No client reviews or all reviews seem fake
13. Technician isn’t licensed or insured
16. Studio appears unsanitary or in someone’s kitchen/back room

5. How to Choose the Right Artist

1. Ask to see healed results, not just fresh work.
4. Read real client reviews (look for consistent feedback).
7. Check for certifications, licensing, and insurance.
10. Make sure they do a consultation before booking.
13. Don’t be afraid to ask about pigment brands, sterilization, and their experience.
