About

The studio is located inside Mechanix + Co Ink Lounge on Bernard Street East in West St. Paul. Permanent brow services and in-person brow consultations take place at a licensed body art tattoo salon, while the makeup work is booked directly through the business. The business serves the Twin Cities and the wider Minneapolis-St. Paul area and says it also works across Minnesota.

The permanent brow menu centers on natural-looking results. Options include nano realistic hairstrokes, nano shading and combo brows, and powder ombre brows. Permanent brows usually begin with an initial session followed by a touch-up about six to eight weeks later, and they typically last one to three years depending on skin type, lifestyle and aftercare. Consultations can be done in person or virtually and run 45 minutes. The business does not offer microblading. According to the business, most clients doze off during the procedure, which it describes as involving little to no pain or bleeding; the site notes that discomfort is generally mild to moderate and that a topical numbing agent is used.

Makeup services cover bridal makeup in a traditional or airbrush style, including lashes, over about 90 minutes, as well as bridal trials, bridal party and mother of the bride or groom looks, traditional adult makeup, groom and groomsmen makeup, and junior makeup for clients 13 and under. Soft glam and natural glam bridal looks are a specialty, and any look can be customized. Airbrush is available as an add-on to traditional adult, bridal party and face-only makeup. Private one-on-one makeup lessons last up to two hours, and a separate guidance session is offered for makeup artists early in their careers.

Booking involves a signed contract and waiver and a 50% booking fee, which is non-refundable and non-transferable. Brow clients pay a $100 retainer at booking, and clients with previous permanent brow work must contact the business for approval before booking. Pre-care for brows includes avoiding exercise and alcohol for 24 hours before the appointment, and after-care includes wearing a hat in direct sunlight for four weeks. Travel is charged at $1 per mile round trip from the salon, and overnight lodging is required when a venue is more than two hours from St. Paul. A 3.5% administrative processing fee applies to bookings, and weekend services or services on certain holidays carry a $100 flat fee. The remaining balance is due on the day of the appointment, along with any parking, valet or entrance fees that apply. E-gift cards are available for a set amount or specific services and are redeemed by code at booking.

Pairs careful technique with a personalized approach, adjusting each look to the client's features.

Located inside a tattoo lounge on Bernard Street East in West St. Paul.
