Bello Cara

Bello Cara was founded by Amanda Gant, who works as the studio's founder and artist. The studio is private and sits in northwest Tucson. The exact address and parking details are shared once a booking is confirmed. The salon describes its treatments as semi-permanent beauty work that is artistry-driven and aimed at lasting results, and it was established in 2016.

The eyebrow menu covers several options. Henna Brows tint both the brow hair and the skin without needles and take about an hour. Microblading creates fine, hair-like strokes and typically lasts around a year. Powder Brows give a softly shaded look that can last one to three years, and Microblading with Powder Brows combines the two methods. Initial brow appointments run two and a half to three hours, and touch-ups take 60 to 90 minutes and are needed four to six weeks after the first session. An Eyebrow Color Boost is recommended every 12 to 18 months for clients whose original shape is still visible.

Lip Blush is a three to three-and-a-half hour appointment that is expected to last two to three years. A touch-up is scheduled six to eight weeks later, and an annual color boost at 12 months is also offered, though no price is listed for it. Teeth whitening is offered in two professional options: a 25% solution and a gentler 16% solution, both at the same price. Sessions take about 90 minutes and include four 20-minute intervals under a whitening light, with breaks to check comfort. Many clients reach their goal in one session, and deeper staining may call for follow-up sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Tooth Gems, small rhinestone jewels attached to the tooth surface with adhesive, are offered as a no-drilling option.

Booking begins with a brief phone consultation that includes a health history review, and a 20% deposit reserves brow and lip blush appointments. Clients are asked to disclose health conditions and medications before treatment, and permanent makeup is not performed on clients who are pregnant or breastfeeding. A topical numbing cream is applied during brow and lip treatments, and nothing is applied without the client's full approval. Brow and lip blush appointments include an aftercare kit. Cancellations or reschedules need at least 72 hours notice, and late cancellations and no-shows forfeit the deposit. Payment is due at the appointment and is accepted by cash, Venmo and major credit cards, with a 3% processing fee on card payments. Most services are for clients 18 and older, and some may need parental consent for younger clients. Gift cards are available by contacting the studio directly.

Services are tailored to each client's skin type, tone and needs, with the skin assessed during the appointment. The studio says it follows strict sanitation and sterilization protocols for every client.
