What We Can Help You Fix
If your permanent makeup healed too dark, too cool or ashy, too warm or red, uneven, or outside the shape you want, you are in the right place.
Eyebrow Permanent Makeup Removal & Correction
Unhappy with your brows? Whether you have microblading, nano, powder/ombre, combo, microshading, or older tattooing, we help safely lighten unwanted pigment and create a clean path forward with a conservative approach.
We can:
Soften dark, harsh, patchy, or uneven work
Correct shape issues (too high/low, too thick, unbalanced)
Fade stubborn pigment faster than waiting years
Prep for a redo with enough lightening for a better result
What to expect: Results are gradual and customized. Most clients need multiple sessions based on pigment type, depth, and skin response. Your plan may include removal, lightening, correction, or a combination aligned with your goals.
Permanent Eyeliner Removal & Correction
If your eyeliner wings have shifted, healed unevenly, or no longer match your style, we can selectively target the areas you want changed using a precise, conservative technique.
This is best for:
Droopy, uneven, or overly thick wings
Sections that healed patchy or not symmetrical
Clients who want to soften the look rather than fully remove everything
Important note: Removal is available for upper eyeliner wings and specific sections. Removal along the entire upper and lower lid is not available. We will map out exactly what can be improved and set realistic expectations before treatment.
Permanent Lip Color Removal & Correction
Lip pigment can be adjusted when the color feels too bold, too dark, uneven, or simply not you anymore. We can either aim to lift as much pigment as possible or gently lighten to a softer finish.
Options we commonly help with:
Lightening a lip color that healed stronger than expected
Soft correction to improve uneven areas and create a more balanced look
Lip liner removal/correction when the border was placed too high/low, unevenly, or outside the natural lip line
Because lip skin heals differently than facial skin, we take a careful, step-by-step approach and tailor the plan to your starting pigment and desired outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Sometimes the shape of your permanent makeup wasn’t what you wanted, or maybe it’s just no longer to your liking. Luckily, we’re able to correct unwanted permanent makeup and tattoos using simple Salt and Saline.
We do not use any lasers to do this. What we use are fine, micro-needles to implant our lifting solution at the site of the unwanted pigment. Through the process of “Osmosis” the salt and saline will lift the unwanted tattoo.
This technique can give you a second chance at your best eyebrows, eyeliner and lips. A consultation is required to give you an estimate of how many treatments may be needed. 1-4 is average depending on the age, depth, and saturation of the ink or pigment. The integrity of your skin will also be taken in to consideration.
-
Do you love the shape and design of your eyebrows, eyeliner or lips but the color just isn’t right? You may be able to skip the removal process and improve the appearance of your permanent makeup with Color Correction alone. Color Correction is exactly as it sounds, a shift or adjustment of an unwanted color.
What we often see with our clients is permanent makeup color that has not stood the test of time. Old permanent makeup can fade to unwanted colors such as red, pink, orange, blue, green, purple or grey. This is due to the “life fastness” of the pigment originally used.
Every pigment or ink color is created by combining several colors until the desired shade is achieved. Unfortunately, not all colors used to make one pigment shade will fade at the same rate or speed. The rate at which a color fades is called the life fastness of that color. Sometimes one color, (blue, pink, green, etc.) in the pigment will have a stronger life fastness and it will last much longer than the rest, leaving you with a faded and miss-colored eyebrow, eyeliner or lip. The good news is that in most cases this can be fixed with color correction.
This process can be explained in even greater detail by your technician.
-
The answer is yes! And they can even be done during the same appointment.
This is a popular option for our clientele. You are a candidate for this if you still want permanent makeup, but the shape and color are not ideal for you. We begin with color and shape correction of the undesired tattoo, and end with the removal of any areas that fall outside of the desired shape. You will be scheduled for a follow up visit to make sure your treatment has healed appropriately.
The Process
What happens at your appointment
-
When you come in for your appointment we’ll begin by discussing your unwanted permanent makeup with you. During the consultation, we'll go over all of your options and decide if removal, color correction, or removal and color correction is best to suit your goals.
-
Once we agree on a plan of action, we’ll apply a topical numbing cream and wait 20 minutes to make certain you are as comfortable as possible. Many clients worry about these procedures being painful but the truth is most clients do not complain about any pain.
-
Saline Removal Process:
Using micro-needles, your technician will implant our saline and salt solution throughout the site of the unwanted tattoo. We will complete 2-4 passes before applying a 10 minute saline mask. This process typically takes between 15 and 25 minutes.
Color Correction Process:
This technique is the same as described above, except instead of saline and salt we will use a corrective color that is complimentary to the unwanted color. The result will be the desired shade of blonde or brown.
2-4 passes are completed before applying a 10 minutes color mask. This process typically take between 20 and 30 minutes.
*If having both Color Correction and Removal done during the same treatment then the Color and Shape correction will be done first, followed by the removal of any unwanted color outside of the desired shape.
-
After your permanent makeup removal and/or color and shape correction is complete, we'll go over your aftercare instructions and send you home with a complete aftercare kit.
Over the next 8 weeks your unwanted tattoo will:
Saline Removal Results: Begin to lighten and fade away.
Color Correction Results: Heal to the appropriate shade of Blonde or Brunette.
*Number of treatments needed depends on the age, depth and saturation of the ink or pigment originally used. The integrity of your skin will also be taken in to consideration. 1-4 treatments is average for Permanent Makeup Removal while Color Correction can require 1-3. This will be discussed with you further during your consultation.
