You Have Questions, So We Have Answers..
What To Expect at your Permanent Makeup Consult & Appointment :
- We love for our clients to send us pictures of what your ideal eyebrow look would be. We will then ask you some basic questions to make sure you are an appropriate candidate for the procedure. We like you to come to your first appointment with your brows fully done and all eyebrow makeup on so we can get an idea of how you like your brows to look. We will discuss and improve the color and shape in the consultation.
- At the consultation we will go over paperwork, healing and before and after care. We will draw on your eyebrow shape, take pictures and choose a color to ensure we get your brows EXACTLY how you want them. We ask the client to bring all eyebrow makeup to help us determine your color and to come to the first appointment with your brows or eyeliner done. **Your consultation CAN be done the same day of the first procedure.
- We do the first tattoo procedure and go over after care. We take the first “after” photos, take payment and will book your touch up appointment (if necessary), 7 to 10 weeks later.
- At your Touch up appointment we will go over anything you want to add or change, take pictures and finish the procedure. This is the point we perfect the application to ensure that your eyebrows are exactly what you want.
- VOILA! Enjoy your new eyebrows! See you in 1 to 2 years for a color boost.

Avoid ALL products containing oil including; silica, eye creams, cream cleansers, moisturizer, makeup primer and lotion. Avoid products that are labeled “waterproof”.

When removing makeup around your eyes use a makeup brush and approved lash cleanser.

Brush them daily to fluff them up and keep them straight.
