SANDY — People wanting permanent eyeliner or eyebrows painted onto their face can now visit any neighborhood salon.
The 4-year-old prohibition against tattoo parlors in most commercial districts in Sandy will remain in place, with the City Council approving an exception April 10 for beauty salon's or hospitals applying the "permanent makeup." The facial makeup is often applied as part of cosmetic surgery or so makeup does not have to applied daily, zoning administrator Brok Armantrout said.
"We did not want to discriminate against those with medical reasons or socially acceptable reasons for injecting ink into the body," he said.
Beauty salons will not be allowed to offer the service in the business parks near South Towne Mall or in the historic portion of downtown Sandy.
