Pure Beauty Esthetics is offering a Valentine's Lip Special. Get $100 off any full-priced lip procedure when you book your appointment on our website and mention "Lip Special" - this offer is valid for any lip appointment booked for February 2018.

A lip tattoo is a procedure meant to enhance the color and shape of your lips. Lip tissue is soft, thin, mucosal, and a tactile sensory organ. With age or environmental factors lips can lose color and shape. Lip tattoos are an advanced procedure in cosmetic tattooing. Lips are numbed, and the session is typically a two-hour appointment. Mature lips require more outlining and contouring and the desired results may be more like a lipstick effect. Younger lips may just desire light coloring like a blushed lip, sometimes referred to Aquarelle lip, giving it a watercolor effect more sheer then the lipstick application.

Erika Mopress, a Licensed Esthetician and Certified Permanent Makeup Technician at Pure Beauty Esthetics, is trained in many different lip tattoo techniques so she can personalize your result. Complimentary consultations for lips are always recommended before the procedure to make sure you are an ideal candidate for this procedure.

For more information, please phone us at 831-426-4321. Pure Beauty Esthetics is located at 800 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.
