HOW TO PREPARE

WHAT IS Permanent MAkeup?

Permanent makeup is a form of tattooing in which the technician uses a tattoo machine to implant ink into the skin to mimic realistic hairstrokes and shading. While permanent makeup is a permanent service, results typically last 1-3 years depending on skin type and aftercare compliance. Many clients will seek a 6-8 week perfecting session (touch up), and a 1.5-2.5 year touch up.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO HEAL? 

The healing process will take a complete 4-6 weeks. Minor swelling and irritation is normal, and the brows will appear darker than normal for 2-5 days. It is normal for the color to flake off and appear softer and less visible during the healing process, but the pigment will reappear in the following days. The perfecting session can not take place any sooner than 6 weeks to prevent scar tissue.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY APPOINTMENT? 

Before your appointment, please be sure to avoid blood thinners, alcohol, ibuprofen, and any other pain relievers 24-48 hours before your appointment unless prescribed by your physician. Caffeine the day of the procedure may increase discomfort levels and blood flow. Exercising before the brows are done flaking will result in poor healed results. Retin A/tretinoin/bukinol and fish oils must be stopped at least 10 days prior to the service. Botox administered within two weeks before the appointment will result in a reschedule. It is not advised to have your brows done before a vacation.

DOES IT HURT? 

While everyone's pain tolerance varies, clients are numbed with topical numbing cream before and throughout the service.

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST? 

Proper aftercare will save your pigment from fading. Typically, permanent makeup will last 1-3 years. This however, can be affected by the use of harsh topical skin care around the area, unprotected UV exposure, and improper aftercare.

CAN I CHOOSE MY SHAPE?

Each client is provided an in-depth brow mapping and analysis. We will work together to outline the perfect shape of brow that compliments both your facial structure and your personal style.

IS IT REVERSIBLE? 

Receiving a permanent cosmetic procedure should be considered carefully and thoughtfully. Ink being placed under the skin is permanent. There are a few different ways to lighten and lessen the pigment, however the results are never guaranteed and can be very damaging to the skin.  Do not go into an appointment with the thought that it is reversible.

CAN ANYONE HAVE PERMANENT MAKEUP? 

Please be advised that microblading is a form of tattooing and there are some medical conditions and medications that prevent clients from getting the service. If you have any questions, please email or call. Occasionally, a doctor's note can be accepted for special cases.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Clients must cancel their appointment within 48 hours to avoid the $100 cancellation fee.

NO SHOW POLICY

Clients who no show to scheduled appointments and fail to notify the business will be charged 100% of their scheduled service. If the client wishes to reschedule, another non-refundable $100 retainer fee will be due before the appointment date.

LATE POLICY

Clients that are 10+ minutes late to their scheduled appointment will be rescheduled. No exceptions are made. This policy is due to the number of clients that are seen a day, as the microblading artist cannot risk running late to following clients. Please give yourself plenty of time to find the studio.
