The Suggitt Standard

What Sets Her Apart

Precision cosmetics is a clinical craft before it's an artistic one. This is the standard behind every appointment.

Precision

Custom-Measured Shape

Every brow and lip line is measured against your bone structure and natural symmetry before any pigment is placed — never a stencil, never a guess.

Sterility

Single-Use Protocol

A fully sterile environment with disposable tools opened fresh for every client. Nothing reused, nothing shared.

Comfort

Numbed, Start to Finish

Pre- and post-procedure topical numbing keeps every session comfortable — this is precision work, not something to endure.

Collaboration

You Decide the Shape

You're consulted on every decision, from shape to saturation, before it becomes permanent.

The Process

What to Expect

Permanent cosmetics heal in stages. Here's what the timeline actually looks like — day of, and once healed.

01

Consultation

Every service starts with a consultation — bone structure, skin type, and desired outcome are all assessed before anything is scheduled. A $100 non-refundable deposit secures your appointment and is applied toward your service.

02

Day of Procedure

Pre-numbing topical is applied before work begins. Pigment is placed fresh, and color will appear bold and saturated immediately after — this is normal and expected, and it softens significantly over the following days.

03

Healing (7–14 Days)

Color softens by roughly 30–40% as the skin heals. Light flaking is normal. Aftercare instructions are provided at every appointment to protect the result.

04

Touch-Up & Maintenance

A follow-up touch-up at 7–12 weeks perfects saturation and symmetry. Annual maintenance keeps color fresh long-term.

The Healing Timeline

What to Expect, Day by Day

Every service heals in stages. Select a service below to see its healing schedule.

DayEffect
1Brows appear 20–25% darker and bolder than the healed result — the skin is red beneath the pigment, which intensifies the color. Some swelling, though hard to notice given the skin thickness in this area. This is normal and expected.
2Conditions remain the same.
3Brows begin to itch and appear slightly thicker in texture as exfoliation begins.
4Skin begins to flake and peel, starting at the outside edges.
5Color finishes flaking off, appearing softer and greyer for a few days until it clarifies to the true healed shade.
DayEffect
1Swollen, similar to after crying, with a heavier eye makeup look.
2Swelling continues, usually only for a few hours after waking.
3Swelling decreases with a tight feeling as pigment begins to lift away from the skin.
4A pinching feeling; some itching is normal as skin flakes. Do not pick at it.
5Blinking usually removes all remaining pigment by this day. Color is somewhat grayish and clarifies to full color over the following days.
DayEffect
1Swelling, tenderness, heaviness — a reddish, brick-colored look.
2Slight swelling, reddish and tender with a slight metallic taste.
3Less swelling, thicker texture, sore and hot before exfoliation, with an orange color effect.
4Exfoliation begins — very chapped lips.
5Still very chapped, but nearly finished with the first chapping stage.
6A soft, rich color begins to appear.
7–13Color fades and a "frosty" second chapping stage begins as a whitish/greyish haze.
14Color blooms from within, more each day, until day 21.
21Healing complete — the color you see is the color you have. Lips may stay slightly dry for a month or two; a good lip balm restores normal texture with full color.

Results are affected by skin type, sun exposure, texture, and lifestyle factors. Touch-ups are typically needed 8–10 weeks after the initial procedure for best results. Full pre- and post-procedure instructions are reviewed with you at your appointment.

5. Pre-Procedure Instructions

+

You will not be able to donate blood for 1 year following your procedure. Avoid alcohol, ibuprofen, and eat properly for 48 hours before your procedure. No caffeine the day of.

  • Use basic soap without AHA acids for several days prior. Stop Retin-A and baby aspirin two weeks prior. List all medications for your technician.
  • Eyeliner clients may be advised to have someone drive them home; do not operate a vehicle for 8 hours after.
  • Do not wear contact lenses to your eyeliner appointment, and keep them out for 48 hours after.
  • Do not tweeze, wax, have electrolysis, or get sunburned within 1 week of your appointment.
  • Lip liner and full lip clients: take L-lysine twice daily for 7 days before. If you've had chicken pox or fever blisters, obtain a Zovirax (acyclovir) prescription from your physician first.
  • Lip clients with mitral valve prolapse must obtain prophylactic antibiotics from their doctor.
  • Extra vitamins and calcium are advised to reduce swelling. Do not take Vitamin E.

6. Post-Procedure Instructions

+
  • Clean the area, splash with cool water, blot dry, then apply healing balm for 14 days as needed. Do not scratch, pick, or scratch flakes or scabs.
  • No sun, tanning beds, or swimming pools for 2 weeks. Use SPF 45 when in the sun afterward.
  • Consult a physician at the first sign of infection or allergic reaction. Report any diagnosed infection or reaction to the Texas Department of State Health Services, Drugs and Medical Devices Group at 1-512-834-6711.
  • Ibuprofen or Tylenol as needed for discomfort. Cold compresses in the first 24 hours, applied every 20 minutes.
  • Avoid facials, steaming, tweezing, or waxing for 1 week after.
  • Do not use Neosporin, bacitracin, or peroxide on any treated area.
  • Avoid direct shower pressure on treated areas. Do not submerge in water for 2 weeks.
  • Eyeliner clients must use new mascara. No makeup for any client for 7–10 days, or until all scabs fall off.
  • Follow-up appointments are scheduled 7–12 weeks post-procedure. Cosmetic tattooing requires multiple applications for best results — failure to follow these instructions may result in loss or discoloration of pigment.

It is normal to lose about a third of the color during healing. Color may look a shade too dark right after the procedure, then too light after 7–10 days, developing further and softening as it fully heals.

7. Medical Profile Questionnaire

+

A confidential health history covering current medications, allergies, skin conditions, pacemakers, pregnancy, tobacco use, prior permanent makeup, and related items — the same questionnaire in the Medical Profile form below. Completing it ahead of your appointment lets Amy flag anything relevant before you arrive.

8. Consent to Procedure — signed in person

+

By signing this form in person, you'll acknowledge: the nature, method, and risks of your procedure have been explained to you, including the possibility of complications, temporary pain, and rare fading or loss of pigment. While Amy's techniques typically require only one touch-up 8–10 weeks after the initial procedure, 100% success cannot be guaranteed due to differences in skin type and undertone — supply fees apply to the first follow-up, and additional fees apply for extra touch-ups or a requested color/size change.

You'll also acknowledge that there is no guarantee against allergic reaction to pigments, that you agree to follow all pre- and post-procedure instructions, that you consent to Amy's use of your procedure photographs for business purposes, and that you accept responsibility for your chosen color, shape, and size as an elective procedure. Eyebrow clients agree to wait until fully healed (4 weeks) before any Botox, acknowledging this may shift the brow design. Corrective/secondary procedure clients acknowledge that pre-existing pigment may affect the outcome and that more than one correction attempt may be needed. A no-refund policy applies.

9. Photography & Public Release — signed in person

+

By signing this form in person, you'll give permission for your likeness, image, or appearance to be used in photos, video, or digital images taken on behalf of Amy Suggitt, with Amy retaining full ownership and copyright. These may be used for illustrations, bulletins, exhibitions, educational materials, and similar business purposes, and you release Amy Suggitt, her agents, and assigns from claims connected with that use.

10. No-Show / Cancellation Policy — signed in person

+

Touch-up and consultation bookings require a $25 payment; consultations are no longer free. Cancellations require a minimum of 24 hours' notice — canceling within that window requires a 50% fee of scheduled services before rebooking, though a reschedule carries only a $25 fee. A no-show requires a non-refundable 50% fee of scheduled services before rebooking.

Arriving more than 10 minutes late requires a $25 fee to reschedule, out of fairness to clients scheduled after you. A $100 deposit is still required to book a new service, applied toward that service, and can be transferred to a new appointment date only once.
