FAQs

 

WHAT IS POWDER/OMBRE BROWS?

A powder brow has no hair strokes and is entirely filled in with soft machine shading. It is ideal for all skin types and can be as bold or as soft and light as you prefer. Like the other styles, it will fade over time and require touchups, however machine shading typically lasts longest and is the best option for mature, oily, and rosacea prone skin.

They may look intense and dark immediately after the appointment, but will soften and lighten significantly as they heal.

WHAT IS MICROBLADING?

Microblading is a form of tattooing the brows where a small disposable blade is used to deposit pigment into the skin, creating hair-like strokes. Microblading is meant to look like natural enhancement of your brows to give them a fuller appearance. The more brow hair you have, the more natural the microblading will look.

Microblading is best for those who want a fluffy or super natural look. If you prefer the look of brow makeup, you may be better suited for a combo or powder brow.

This procedure is ideal for clients with young or normal to dry skin. For oily or mature skin, a combo brow may be a better fit.

Microblading is considered a tattoo so it will not wash off, however it will fade over time and it is important to understand you will need touch-ups every 1-2 years to maintain your brow’s fresh, natural appearance.

WHAT IS NANO BROWS?

Nano is similar to microblading in that it is a form of tattooing the brows to create soft, hair-like strokes. The difference is the technique, a tattoo machine and single use needle cartridge is used rather than a handheld tool. Nano is meant to look like a natural enhancement of your brows to give them a fuller appearance. The benefits of nano is it can be performed on clients who are not candidates for microblading (mature, thin skin, oily skin, large pores, sensitive skin).

WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT?

Do not drink alcohol, ibuprofen or caffeine 24 hours before your appointment.  This can cause excessive bleeding.

You can wear makeup to the appointment if you prefer.  All makeup will be removed from your brows before we start.  

Women should not book their appointment during their menstrual cycle as the body is more sensitive during this time causing the procedure to be more painful.

HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?

The treatment is considered a tattoo and will not wash off, however, it will fade over time and will need a touch-up every 1-3 years to maintain your brows fresh, natural appearance. Frequency of touch-ups depends on a number of factors including: the pigment color used (lighter colors fade faster), lifestyle (sun exposure), and if any chemical peels, anti-aging creams, and retinol products come into contact with treated areas. Please note that final results cannot be guaranteed as each unique skin type will hold pigments differently and break down at different rates.

DOES IT HURT?

Some clients describe feeling minimal pain and discomfort comparable to threading or waxing; while others report feeling barely any pain at all. The amount of pain will depend on the client's pain tolerance and body's reaction to anesthetic. We use two types of very effective topical anesthetic. We always do our best to make sure you are comfortable. Anesthetic can be applied throughout the procedure at any time if needed.

DO I NEED TO TWEEZE OR THREAD MY BROWS BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT?

Please don't do anything to your brows before coming to your appointment. We can clean up your brows after we've decided on the shape and before we start the procedure.

HOW LONG DOES HEALING TAKE?

Initially, the cosmetic tattoo will be darker and slight redness and swelling may occur. IF redness and swelling are present, it tends to disappear within an hour. Although the cosmetic tattoo may appear darker initially, it's generally not noticeable to others. You can return to normal activities immediately. There is no down-time. The tattoo will start to lighten and look more natural over the following weeks. Please refer to our aftercare page for more detailed information on the healing process: AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS
