💋 Why I don’t neutralize AND add your targeted lip blush color in the same appointment
This is one of the most common questions I get and there’s a very good reason I separate these two steps.

Here’s why we do it in two separate sessions:
    1    Healing & Color Stability Neutralization works by correcting dark, blue, or purple undertones. Your lips need 6–8 weeks to fully heal and for the pigment to settle. Adding color too soon can cause the pigments to mix unpredictably.

    2    Accuracy Once the neutralization has healed, I can see the true new base color clearly. This lets me perfectly match and layer your desired target shade (rosy, n**e, berry, etc.) for the most natural and beautiful result.

    3    Reduced Swelling & Trauma Lips swell significantly during treatment. Doing both procedures in one long session increases discomfort, swelling, and the chance of uneven pigment retention.
    4    Better Long-Term Results The two-step process gives superior colour retention and a more even, customized finish that lasts longer (1–4 years).

My process:
→ Session 1: Lip Neutralization (color correction)
→ 6–8 weeks later: Session 2: Targeted Lip Blush colour however some clients may need a 2 neutralization and depends on clients healed results and goals.
This extra patience delivers the best possible outcome. I’d rather do it right than do it fast.
Swipe through the carousel 👉 to see real client progress: neutralization → healed → final lip blush result.

Hello beautiful clients 💫
I wanted to kindly share (or gently remind) everyone about the studio’s booking policies. These guidelines help ensure the best experience for all while protecting the time and dedication behind every appointment.

A non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking to secure your slot. This reserves my time exclusively for you and covers the preparation involved in your service.

I kindly request at least 48 hours notice if you need to reschedule or cancel. This gives me a fair opportunity to offer the time to another client and supports the studio as my full-time livelihood.

Cancellations or rescheduling with less than 48 hours’ notice will be subject to a charge of 50% of the appointment fee.

Your understanding and respect for these policies mean so much as they allow me to continue offering the high-quality, personalized care you deserve while covering the costs of our beautiful studio and my livelihood.
If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a DM. I’m always happy to help.

Thank you to all my wonderful clients.
