Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing, is soft, natural-looking definition created with precise hand technique and careful pigment work. At our two Tucson studios, each service is designed to suit your features and wear beautifully over time.
Also offered at Sonthuy Hair & Skin by request.
Every permanent makeup appointment begins with a consultation and facial mapping, so your shape, pigment, and finish are planned around your features before any work begins.
Healing takes place over the following weeks, with a follow-up perfecting session to refine color and shape once your skin has settled.
Soft, misty shading for a polished, filled-in brow that still reads natural.
Hair strokes at the front blended with soft shading through the body of the brow.
Fine, realistic strokes that mimic individual brow hairs.
Fine, realistic strokes that mimic individual brow hairs.
A soft wash of color that restores definition and a healthy lip tone.
Precise upper lash-line definition, from a soft tightline to a defined finish.
Precise lower lash-line definition for a soft, finished look.
Full upper and lower lash-line definition in one appointment.
A soft, smoky upper lash-line finish that diffuses upward for more depth than a classic line.
Refinement or cover-up of previous brow work, planned case by case.
A color refresh that revives faded permanent makeup between full appointments.
Every PMU service includes one complimentary touch-up within its allotted time window. Additional touch-ups outside that window are available, ask your artist about timing and pricing.
Correction and cover-up start with a consultation, not a booking, so we can assess color, shape, and healing before recommending a path. Some cases need lightening first or more than one session, and we'll tell you what to expect up front.
Explore Correction & Cover-Up →Nano brows are Sonthuy's modern brow tattoo option for clients who are searching for microblading but want a softer, more precise approach. Nano Powder Brows, Nano Hair Stroke Brows, and Nano Combo Brows are our brow PMU services, each mapped to your features and built by hand with a fine, digital needle.
Compare microblading vs. nano brows →Permanent makeup suits anyone who wants to wake up with soft, finished definition, fuller-looking brows, a tinted lip, or a defined lash line, without reaching for product each morning. It's a thoughtful choice for active lifestyles, sensitive eyes, sparse or faded brows, or simply less time at the mirror.
It's worth waiting if you're pregnant or nursing, in active skin treatment near the area, or unsure of your shape, and that's exactly what your consultation is for. We'll always tell you honestly if the timing isn't right.
Color looks bolder for the first few days, then softens as your skin settles over about two to four weeks. Light flaking and lightening during healing are normal, the true result appears once that settles.
Most results last one to three years depending on skin type, lifestyle, aftercare, and pigment retention. A periodic color boost keeps definition fresh, and individual results naturally vary from person to person.
Real feedback from Sonthuy clients who trust us with brows, lips, eyeliner, and long-lasting definition.
Amazing work. I am absolutely obsessed with my eyebrows. The entire experience was incredible and I did not feel an ounce of pain. I told her exactly how I wanted them, soft and natural, and she executed my vision perfectly. My brows look natural and better than I imagined. I highly recommend her.
Son is amazing, very polite and professional, with a relaxing salon, soothing music, and lovely ambience. I did the combo brow, nano powder with mixed hairstrokes, pain-free, and it looks phenomenal. So professional, so courteous, and so kind.
I got brush strokes done on my eyebrows and I love the way they turned out. My mom got hers done here too and it looks so good. The atmosphere is welcoming and clean, and she measures carefully so the work is proportioned and even to your face.
Thank you, my brows are beautiful, just what I wanted. Stellar work.
Just got lip blush this morning and my lips look awesome. Jasmine did such an amazing job. I am so excited at how they came out. I recommend lip blush and Jasmine.
Very nice and professional. I got my eyebrows done and my lips tinted. I have thin lips, and now I look like I have lips.
Permanent makeup, or PMU, is a form of cosmetic tattooing that places soft, natural-looking pigment into the skin to define brows, lips, or the lash line. At Sonthuy Beauty it's applied by hand in Tucson, with careful mapping so the result suits your features and fades gradually rather than washing off.
Our Tucson permanent makeup menu includes powder brows, hair stroke and combo brows, lip blush, eyeliner and ombre eyeliner, correction and cover-up, and color boost refreshes. PMU is based at Sonthuy Brows & Lash on Thornydale and is also available at Sonthuy Hair & Skin on Silverbell upon request and availability.
Sonthuy does not offer traditional microblading. Our brow permanent makeup services use nano brow techniques instead, including Nano Powder Brows, Nano Hair Stroke Brows, and Nano Combo Brows, so each brow is mapped carefully around your features, skin, and the finish you want.
Powder brows give a soft, filled-in shaded look; hair stroke brows mimic individual hairs for a natural finish, and combo blends both. Lip blush adds a sheer wash of color to the lips, while eyeliner defines the lash line, from a soft tightline to a smoky ombre. Your artist helps you choose the right one at your consultation.
Most clients find it very manageable. A topical numbing step is used throughout to keep you comfortable, and many describe the feeling as light pressure or scratching rather than pain.
Most results last one to three years, depending on your skin, lifestyle, aftercare, and how your skin holds pigment. A periodic color boost keeps definition looking fresh, and your follow-up perfecting session fine-tunes the first result.
Color appears bolder for the first few days, then softens over about two to four weeks as your skin settles. Light flaking and temporary lightening are normal, the final look appears once healing is complete.
We ask clients who are pregnant or nursing, or undergoing active skin treatment near the area, to wait. If anything about timing or suitability is unclear, your consultation is the place to sort it out, honestly.
Yes. Correction and cover-up work begins with a consultation so we can assess your existing pigment, shape, and healing before recommending a plan. Some cases need lightening first or more than one session.
Permanent makeup is based at Sonthuy Brows & Lash on Thornydale and is also available at Sonthuy Hair & Skin on Silverbell upon request and availability. Book whichever location is most convenient for you.
Your confirmation includes service-specific prep notes. In general, arrive with clean skin, avoid caffeine and blood-thinners before PMU, and skip active or exfoliating products near the area for a few days prior.
