Hair strokes WILL appear crisp, darker and bold at first, but will soften up in appearance as the tissue heals. The area will shed taking some color with it this is normal. The area will begin to oxidize and darken over the 1st month. Its important to start with a slightly darker color as it will fade after it heals.
You DO NOT have to pluck, wax or tweeze your brows prior to your procedure. The hairier it is the better!
Everyone’s skin heals differently and most clients develop patchy areas or the appearance of fading after the first treatment. It is important to understand that this is a two part process and the second touch up treatment will complete the procedure and, after healing, you will see the finished result.
Can I wear makeup to my appointment? Yes! it is okay to wear makeup the day of your procedure. I will clean and sanitize your skin prior to working on the skin.
Laser Removal and old PMU
Laser removal of the eyebrows or old PMU will cause more scar tissue. This can cause the pigment to fade prematurely or look blurry. There is also a chance that the pigment won't take at all. An appointment is required determine if you are a good candidate upon reviewing your pictures after the removal process is complete.
You will need to return for your touch up treatment no later than 4-6 weeks after the first treatment.
NOTE: If you are required to be on antibiotics prior to the procedure please bring a doctors note
We DO NOT provide touch ups to other artists' work. A consultation must be booked prior to booking an appointment if your brows have been previously done. NO EXCEPTIONS

Color WILL fade/soften anywhere from 40% to 60%. At the touch up we will fine tune any area that has faded too much. Healing is specific to each client. It is important to realize that you will need a color boost every 2 yrs to maintain it's fresh natural appearance. Fading will happen after each procedure. We do not have control over your bodies healing process. You may need to powder and/or pencil even after the healed results. This is an enhancement to your natural brows not a permanent one.
You are not a good candidate if you have very LARGE pores or Severely Oily Skin. Your results will appear softer/solid or powdered looking. You are not a good candidate if you have rosacea, or skin that turns very red to the touch or when rubbing. The reason is due to excessive bleeding. You may contact us and send picture if you are unsure of this.
