Artsé Aesthetics

Artse Aesthetics works by appointment only, and only clients with a booked appointment are admitted to the studio. Booking requires a $100 non-refundable deposit, which is deducted from the total procedure cost. Clients are asked to arrive 15 minutes early, and cancellations need 48 hours' notice or the deposit is forfeited. Balances can be paid in cash, by credit card (with a 3% fee), PayPal or Venmo on the day, and tipping is optional.

Brow work is the core of the menu. Microblading uses a manual blade to draw hair-like strokes and suits clients with full brows who want to fill in or enhance them, with sessions running about two to three hours. Combo brows pair the manual blade with machine shading for a fuller finish, while powder brows create a powdered look with no hair strokes and suit all skin types. Brow lamination is a lacquer treatment that realigns brow hair and shape for up to eight weeks, though it is not recommended for very sparse or absent brow hair. Saline removal takes off previous microblading only; tattooed brows cannot be removed this way and may need laser tattoo removal.

Beyond brows, lash enhancement fills gaps between lashes so they look fuller without an eyeliner effect. Lip blush adds a natural tint with color and is completed over two sessions six to twelve weeks apart. The Mestyque melanin skin treatment is a non-invasive option for areas with uneven pigmentation, with no needles and no downtime. It uses Korean-formulated ampoules and creams and includes light therapy as one step. Treatable areas include areolas, intimate areas, elbows and knees, underarms, inner thighs and the anus. The business describes it as a revolutionary melanin-care treatment and says visible results can appear after one session.

The studio also runs permanent makeup training. Microblading Foundation and Ombre Powder Brows (Shading) Foundation are each four days of theory and practice at $3,800, Both Techniques Foundation covers both methods over five days at $4,700, and Advanced Training is a two-day course for artists with fundamental training, priced at $1,900 for either microblading or powder brows. Foundation courses need no prior experience, require a Blood Borne Pathogens course, and take a $500 deposit at enrollment. Students receive a certificate and six months of ongoing support. Topics include sanitation, skin anatomy, color theory, brow mapping, blade handling, aftercare and marketing a permanent makeup business.

Services are by appointment only, with pre-care and aftercare instructions given for microblading and other permanent cosmetics, which are a multi-step process with no guaranteed result.
