How to find a good permanent makeup artist, according to BABTAC

  • Social media makes it easier than ever to read client reviews, so do your research
  • Check out your therapist's training, which should be accredited by either an awarding organisation or an official association such as BABTAC
  • Make sure your therapist has specialist treatment-risk insurance to cover you both
  • Before booking, ask the therapist to show you around the clinic so you can check it's clean and hygienic
  • A good therapist will be able to prove that the machine being used in the treatment has a CE mark, and the pigment follows the EU safety regulations
  • Some councils require therapists to have a special treatment license. If yours does, ask to see a copy
  • Be wary if the price seems unusually cheap. This is an invasive treatment and it should cost a reasonable sum.
