Blush & Bashful Aesthetics

Blush & Bashful Aesthetics operates as an LLC in Oklahoma City and offers permanent makeup, injectables such as Botox for softening fine lines, and medical grade skincare. The business says it aims to help clients look and feel their best without the intimidation that can come with aesthetics, and it describes its space as laid-back and welcoming. Owner Vickie is a nurse who welcomes first-timers as well as experienced clients.

The areola service is a non-surgical 3D paramedical tattoo that recreates the areola and nipple through shading and color matching. Pricing is $300 for one side or $400 for both. Each month the business offers one complimentary 3D areola tattoo, performed on the first Wednesday, with the recipient chosen at the provider's discretion. According to the business, its permanent makeup procedures are overseen by a board certified physician licensed in Oklahoma, and it holds current licenses and insurance. Procedures use medical grade topical anesthetics for comfort, along with top equipment, materials, pigments and disposable tools for each treatment. The salon describes its care as expert. It also states that Oklahoma sets the strictest permanent makeup standards in the country.

Brow services include powder brows for a soft, shaded makeup-like effect, nano brows made with an ultra-fine needle for hair-like strokes and suitable for all skin types, and combination brows that blend nano strokes with powder shading. All three are priced at $500 and include a touch-up 6-12 weeks after the first session. Sessions take 2-3 hours, initial healing takes 7-10 days and full results show after 4-6 weeks. The business says results last 1-3 years depending on skin type, lifestyle and technique. Each brow shape is hand drawn to fit the client's anatomy, and hair outside the agreed shape is removed. Clients do not need to grow out their brows first.

Lip blush tattoo uses custom mixed pigments to add a soft tint and definition to the lips. It costs $450 with a 6-12 week touch-up included, takes 2-3 hours with numbing cream applied, and the business says results last an average of 2-3 years, with full healing in 4-6 weeks. Lash enhancement tattoo adds pigment along the lash line to create the look of thicker, darker lashes. It costs $400 with a touch-up at 6-12 weeks included, takes 1.5-2 hours, and full healing takes about 4 weeks. For lash enhancement, clients avoid contacts for 3 days after the tattoo and avoid mascara and lash extensions until fully healed.

Permanent jewelry is custom fitted and clasp-free, with welded chains in bracelets, anklets, rings and necklaces. Chains are made of 14k gold fill, sterling silver or rose gold, and the business says the jewelry is waterproof and low-maintenance. Removal is done by cutting the connecting link with fingernail clippers or small scissors. Re-weld, resize and repair services are offered for a $10 repair fee, with a discount on replacement if a chain cannot be repaired. The business also hosts permanent jewelry pop-up events around the Oklahoma City metro and accepts event requests from businesses. Permanent jewelry and custom pieces are final sale.

Appointments can be booked online or by calling or texting the business. Some bookings carry a non-refundable booking fee that is applied to the service total. Cancellations or changes need 48 hours notice, and a paid booking fee can be moved to a new appointment if rescheduled at least 48 hours ahead. Clients more than 15 minutes late may need to reschedule, and no-shows may be charged up to the full service cost. Payment is split into the deposit, the remaining balance and the touch-up. Two financing options are offered through the Payment Plans page, and Pay with Cherry is accepted.

Aims for a low-pressure, approachable experience, with permanent makeup overseen by a physician and performed with medical grade products.
