Clients must be 18+ to receive permanent makeup treatments. No exceptions. Minors may receive piercings and aesthetic services with guardian approval and attendance.

Having blood thinners or retinol in the system can lead to poor results. Please check with your doctor to inquire about safely removing these products from your regimen.
Accutane users should wait 8-12 months before booking intensive services as the skin tissue is compromised and could increase chances of scarring.
Botox and filler should be done 2 weeks before/after PMU services. Please disclose any other aesthetic services received in the treatment area such as laser, chemical peels, microneedling, tinting, lamination, or other chemical/injectable services.

POLICIES

Medical History

It is important that you complete your medical history form completely and TRUTHFULLY as not all people are eligible for cosmetic tattoos. Shape and Shade Studio LLC will not be held liable for effects due to false or omitted medical history.

Booking Fee

A booking fee of $50 for permanent makeup/body art and $10 for piercings is required to book and hold your appointment. Invoices are due immediately upon scheduling. This amount will be credited towards your total balance. It is non refundable and we hold the right to keep it if you are late (10 min +) or are a no show. Deposits are transferrable if rescheduling with a 24 hour notice.

Payment + Financing

Payment is due immediately upon completion. Cash is preferred but we do accept all major debit and credit cards. We are subject to updating pricing at any given time. Financing applications should be approved before clients scheduled appointment and are valid for 30 days. Fee's may apply to financing and credit transactions.

Late Policy

Due to scheduling commitments to other clients and our staff's personal schedules we may need to reschedule any appointment for which you are more than 10 minutes late. If you arrive more than 10 minutes late to your appointment, it will be canceled and you will forefeit your inital deposit. A new deposit will be required to book a new time.

Cancellations

Appointments are especially reserved for you. We understand that sometimes schedule adjustments are necessary. We respectfully request at least 24 hours notice for cancellations and appointment changes. In the event that you do not show up for a scheduled appointment, you will lose your booking fee and any future appointments will require a 50% payment up front. In case you were a no show or cancel the same day again, the 50% payment will not be refunded.

Appointment

Please reserve your appointment during unrestricted personal time and keep your schedule open for the duration of your visit. Appointment times can vary, and our services require patience, precision, and your full availability—they cannot be rushed to accommodate other obligations.

Please do not schedule your appointment while working remotely, actively caring for or supervising children, or during a window in which you need to leave by a specific time. To ensure we can give your service the time and attention it deserves, please plan accordingly and avoid scheduling work, childcare responsibilities, meetings, or other time-sensitive commitments during your appointment.

Guests

Due to limited studio space and the nature of the services being performed, a maximum of ONE adult guest is permitted per appointment. Additional guests cannot be accommodated. Children under the age of 15 are not permitted in the studio unless they are the client receiving the service. Please arrange childcare prior to your appointment, as exceptions cannot be made due to space and safety limitations. The studio is also a food and drink-free treatment space. If you or your guest need to eat or drink, please do so outside of the treatment area in the waiting area.

Come Prepared

Out of respect for others on the schedule please arrive ready to get started. You should have a balanced breakfast to regulate blood sugars. Please wear warm clothing as I cannot provide blankets for any services due to bloodborne pathogens. A physical picture ID is required in person for all services. Upon arrival you will be asked to present your ID - Minors require a parent present and a birth certificate. Headphones and a preloaded podcast/audiobook are recommended for longer appointments!

Refunds

I stand proudly behind my work. My appointments are extremely thorough and I follow my clients feedback throughout the session to ensure results that you will be happy with. Creating your new shape/design is a collaborative process and I don't proceed without signed consent. For these reasons I do NOT offer refunds. All sales are final.

PERMANENT MAKEUP PRECARE

Below is an important list to follow. They will ensure the best possible healed results. Please note that failure to adhere to this list may lead to undesirable healed results such as blurring, scarring, or failed color retention.

Avoid alcohol, coffee, tea, soft drinks containing caffeine 24 hours prior to the procedure. This can thin the blood causing excess bleeding that will provide unpredictable results.
Avoid aspirin/ibuprofen/niacin 24 hours prior. Tylenol is ok.
Avoid fish oil 3 days before
Avoid retinol/retin A (Do not use at least 30 days prior)
Avoid waxing/tweezing/threading 48 hours before procedure
Avoid tinting 1 month before
Avoid chemical peels/laser. Treatments must be done 1-2 months prior.
Avoid tanning 1 week before appointment. Sunburned areas or compromised skin cannot be worked over.
Due to bloodborne pathogens I cannot provide blankets or porous items. Please wear warm clothing (yes even in the summer) or bring a disposable blanket.
ID is required for all permanent makeup (PMU) and piercing appointments. Please arrive with a valid form of identification ready to go and take care of any consent forms before arriving through the patient portal.
Headphones recommended for client comfort. Minimal movement = best results. Please eat a good breakfast to regulate blood sugar and keep you satiated for the hours to come.
