Semi-PMU - Frequently Asked Questions
About Our Studio & Certification
Yes, I am a licensed Permanent Makeup Artist.
Understanding Semi-Permanent Makeup
Semi-permanent makeup (also known as cosmetic tattooing, micropigmentation, or PMU) enhances natural beauty by implanting pigment into the skin using advanced techniques such as nano brows, microblading, and ombré shading. These treatments typically last between 1-3 years, depending on skin type and lifestyle.
Eyebrow Enhancement Services
Microblading creates fine, hair-like strokes by a hand tool ( microblades) to fill in sparse brows for a natural look. Best for normal to dry skin with existing brow hair.
Ombré shading uses a machine to deposit tiny pixelated dots of pigment that gradually fade from light to dark, creating a soft powder-filled brow effect. Ideal for all skin types.
This combination blends microblading hair strokes with soft shading for a more defined yet natural look. Best for normal to dry skin.
Nano Brows use a fine nano needle for ultra-precise hair strokes, mimicking real brow hairs with crisper, more defined results than microblading. Less invasive, longer-lasting, and suitable for all skin types.
Exclusive to Tran Beauty Studio in Kansas City, our Tran Signature Brow uses a unique blend of nanoblading and ombré shading, creating long-lasting, natural brows with minimal trauma to the skin.
Lip Blushing Treatment
Lip Blushing is a semi-permanent tattoo for the lips, enhancing natural lip color, definition, and symmetry for a soft-tinted, youthful appearance.
Pain, Safety & Healing
Discomfort is minimal. We use a topical anesthetic before and during the procedure to ensure comfort.

Corrections & Cover-Ups

Lash Extensions - Frequently Asked Questions
Eyelash extension is a popular cosmetic procedure for building and increasing the volume of natural (natural) eyelashes by gluing synthetic hair with special glue. The procedure can be performed by a cosmetologist, make-up artist, or master lashmaker.
Classic Style is a one-to-one procedure that involves attaching one lash extension to one of your natural lashes and repeating the process. The fullness of this style is determined by the length of your natural lashes. Clients that are looking for a mascara look would love this.
3D Volume Style is created by fanning out several lash extensions and applying them to a single natural lash. The Volume Style allows for a great level of customization to achieve the client’s desired look, giving them a fuller and fluffier lash line.
Hybrid 3D Volume Style is a combination of classic and 3D volume styles, by attaching one classic extension to the natural lash and then a bundle of three extensions (3D Volume) onto the next natural lash and then repeating the process throughout. It creates a natural look with medium lash fullness.
Kim K Wispy Style is a trendiest style inspired by Kim Kardashian.This style is a combination of either individual lashes or closed fans and eyelash extension fans of different lengths and curls. It creates feathery lashes with noticeable spikes.
Kim K Wispy Hybrid Style combines wispy volume and wispy classic styles. Individual lash extensions make spikes, and volume lash extension fans are placed between them.
It depends on the normal growth phase and replacement cycle of your natural lashes, which will cause the eyelash extensions to come off gradually. Typically, eyelash extensions will last for roughly 4 weeks. However, you can keep your eyelash extensions looking fabulous with regular and proper maintenance (see aftercare instructions).
Regular refills (for excellent results, we recommend refill appointments be scheduled for either every 2 or no more than 3 weeks apart.
Certainly not.The truth is that volume lash extensions are even lighter than natural (classic) lash extensions. Think of it like this: 4-5 volume lashes are equivalent to 1 classic (natural) lash. Customers are always surprised at how light they are.
No. Because we utilize leading industry materials , help customers select a style based on their eye shape and eyelash extensions (size and length) that fit their natural lashes. And also, we apply individual eyelash extensions one-to-one properly to achieve excellent results.
No. The process should be painless and most customers fall asleep during it all.
You may resume normal activities 24 hours after your appointment. That includes the initial full set as well as regular refills. Just keep in mind that extensive and excessive exposure to oil-based products, heat, and water might compromise the life of your eyelash extensions.
Proper maintenance is the key to fighting irritations, allergies, and redness in your eyes (also see "Aftercare instructions"). We recommend you wash your eyelashes every day with warm water (avoid hot water).
Yes, you can. We recommend non-oil-based products for eye liners and shadows. Oil-based products, especially waterproof mascara, should be avoided as they might compromise the life of your extensions. The number one benefit of eyelash extensions is that they eliminate mascara in the morning on a daily basis.
