Permanent cosmetics is a process, not a procedure. Every procedure is completed in a 2-3 step process with a minimum of a 4-8 week gap in between appointments. Once the desired color and shape is achieved:

• Microblading touchups are recommended every 12-24 months to keep the color fresh and the strokes crisp.

• Powderfill touchups are recommended every 12-36 months as well dependent on skin type & how well the skin holds onto color.

• Touchups, also known as 'color boosts', come down to preference and skin type. Therefore time varies based on each client's preference and skin type.  Those with oily skin will most likely need additional or more frequent touchups.

I take pride in making sure I know exactly what my clients expectations and goals are. I do a consultation at the beginning of every appointment to make sure we make decisions together and are on the same page. Once we have decided which method is best for you, we select the perfect color to match your natural brow hair and skin tone. We then numb the area with a topical numbing cream.
Once numb, I take as long as necessary to draw on the perfect shape. There are certain measurements I take into consideration when creating a shape unique to each client. We will make any adjustments necessary until you are 100% satisfied. Start to finish the appointment is about 2-2.5 hours long (If we are doing a Bold machine powder brow, it may take 3 hours)

Keep the affected area clean and DRY! You need to avoid ALL moisture (i.e. sweat, steam, water, etc.) until your scabs have flaked off completely.  This means NO EXERCISE for the entire duration of healing.  Sweat has salt in it which is used to remove color, so absolutely NO SWEATING.

• Be very careful and gentle while sleeping to avoid rubbing off scabs/flakes. Make sure you have a fresh clean pillow case as to avoid any bacteria getting into brows, silk or satin are less abrasive.

• You will generally be given a small tube of ointment to put on the affected area. Use very sparingly and apply a THIN layer 2-3 times per day. The area should be kept lightly moisturized, but still allowed to breathe. If you put too much on, the color can be prematurely pulled from the skin. Make sure the skin is constantly moisturized, but be careful not to pull off scabs while applying ointment. You may gently rinse/wipe your brows with clean fingers and water if you notice the ointment is getting “caked” onto your brows before applying a fresh layer on.

• Avoid all lotions and makeup above, on and around the brows so nothing seeps into them while healing.

• Avoid all sun exposure while healing

• Keep your hair pulled back or tucked behind your ears so the products and oils in your hair do not touch your fresh brows.

• If your skin is oozing excess lymph fluid, you will be given gauze and a wash to gently wipe your brows to clean off any oozing before it dries onto the brows.  If you are not given a wash but still notice oozing (like your brows are sweating) then grab a clean q-tip or tissue and blot them dry.

Healing time varies for each individual. Typically it takes about 7-10 days for the epithelial crust to form and slough off. Your skin will be considered healed after that occurs. Then, the pigment will take some time to settle into the skin and may appear much lighter in color at first. The color will then reflourish over the next couple weeks. A good month should pass before the process is considered complete and we are able to consider your next session.

NO.  There is no downtime associated with the treatment. Redness and swelling will dissipate within an hour or two afterwards. Your brows will appear darker initially after treatment, but not so dark that you will be prevented from doing your daily activities.

*Note* Your makeup may get wiped off during the procedure, you may bring extra makeup if you would like to touchup your face after your appointment.

We ask that you wait at least 2 weeks after getting Botox done to schedule your brow appointment to allow the Botox to settle.
You are free to get botox done again once your brows have gone through the healing process (1-2 weeks). If done properly, it should have no effect on your brows.

Yes but please use the ointment given to you at your appointment and do not lose it. I pick only the best products for my clients, therefore the ointment given to you will help your brows heal optimally.

The ointment is used to moisturize the skin and prevent excess scabbing, infection, and potential scarring. I do my part during the procedure to only use 100% sterile tools as well as watching the integrity of your skin and my technique to prevent scarring. It is your job to keep your brows clean, dry, and not pick at them afterward so that no infection or scarring will occur and to ensure you have the optimal healed results. When applying the ointment make sure the area is clean and dry and apply with a clean q-tip 2-3 times per day, keeping the area lightly moisturized.

The main risks for pregnant women getting their brows done is infection and not being able to take medicine if an infection were to occur.  Your hormones are also out of wack during pregnancy and the color may or may not heal properly.  Because of these risks we ask that you wait for that cute babe to be born and wait 3-4 months afterwards to schedule your brow appointment.

Nursing is a controversial topic.  I will work on nursing moms.  We do not go deep enough for the numbing or pigment to effect the milk.  The biggest concern with nursing moms are hormones again but as women our hormones are all over the place anyway so if you feel comfortable getting your brows done while nursing then I am comfortable doing them.  I have done many nursing moms and they have healed just fine.
