Microblading, Blading with shading, Lip Blush, Lash Liner- What are they?
All of the techniques offered at Glam Bar AL are considered permanent makeup or a semi-permanent tattoo, to help make you look younger, more refreshed, and more put together with little to no effort!

Permanent Makeup - Policies
Prior Permanent Makeup
By consult only. Sometimes we cannot work over other artists' work. Please contact us to discuss BEFORE booking. If you have EVER had permanent makeup before (even if it has completely faded), you must let us know prior to booking so we can ensure that it can be covered. Failure to do so may result in disappointment and loss of deposit if you arrive to your appointment and it cannot be covered.
Payment Policy
Glam Bar Alabama accepts all major credit cards, debit cards and cash. No checks or money orders. All permanent makeup appointments require a non-refundable $100.00 booking deposit to book. This booking fee goes toward your total investment and holds your spot on the calendar. Please call, email, or text to book your appointment, or book online. After selecting a date and time, you will receive instructions for paying your deposit by debit or credit card by email. Your appointment is not booked until you have paid your deposit. Please review our cancellation policy below prior to booking.
Cancellation Policy
Please read this policy before booking any appointments at Glam Bar Alabama to make sure you fully understand. The reason for this policy is that we remain very booked for all services, with some clients waiting months to be seen. While we are ever so grateful for our wonderful clients, timely and efficient service is necessary for us to provide outstanding customer service. If you fail to comply with these policies, we are unable to service everyone in a fair and efficient way. Customer satisfaction is our highest priority, and these policies exist to give all clients the absolute best experience possible. We are so thankful for your business and welcome any inquiries about this policy!
​
For all permanent makeup appointments, a 72-hour notice is required to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Should you fail to cancel or reschedule your appointment at least 72-hours before your appointment, you will forfeit your booking deposit. Should you wish to reschedule your appointment at that point, you definitely can! You will have to pay another non-refundable deposit to book another date.
​
Late Policy
If you are over 10-minutes late to any appointment, you will be asked to reschedule, and the same policies above will apply. This is because all clients receive thorough consultations and detailed, precise work. As a result, we will not omit vital steps or rush your appointment or others. Therefore, if you are more than 10-minutes late to your appointment, you will forfeit your deposit and be required to pay another non-refundable deposit before you can re-book.There will be no exceptions to this policy. By booking your appointment with Glam Bar Alabama, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to the Cancellation Policy.
Your Compliance
All permanent makeup procedures are a 2-step process: The initial appointment and the 6-week touchup appointment. By omitting your 6-week touchup appointment, you are not fully completing the process.
Touchups are a required part of the permanent makeup process as it is very difficult to predict how well the skin will retain the pigment. If you have things you do want to tweak after the first appointment, no worries! The brows may needs more strokes added or maybe one specific area did not take the pigment well. The color may need an adjustment or the client may just want to go darker. Other reasons that touchups are required are to ensure as much symmetry as possible with your bone structure. At the touchup, we can also adjust things like: one brow tail appearing shorter or higher/lower than the other from healing, or going overall darker with your PMU. These are all minor imperfections that are easily fixed at the 6-week touchup appointment. We will continue to work on your brows at the touchup appointment! Even if you love your brows, lips, or liner, the touchup is vital to the final complete result!
​
If you do not schedule and omit your required 6-week touchup appointment, please understand that pricing will be reflected based on how long it has been between your initial and touchup appointment.
​
If you had your initial Permanent Makeup appointment done by Glam Bar Alabama and chose to go elsewhere for your touchup because you failed to maintain your appointment, please understand that I will no longer service you!
