Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long does the procedure take? Expect your appointment to last 2–3 hours. I take my time to ensure your brows are flawless!

2. Does it hurt?  Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but I use a numbing agent after the first pass to keep you as comfortable as possible. Most clients describe the feeling as minimal discomfort.

3. Will there be swelling? Slight swelling is normal, redness and slight soreness rarely happens and subsides within 24–48 hours. Following pre appointment instructions is important to avoid discomfort and excessive bleeding/swelling. * If you know you are highly sensitive, you may take an antihistamine prior to your appointment.

4. Do I need to make a deposit before booking? Yes. A $50 commitment fee is required to book all permanent make up procedures. You can put in card info upon booking, the card on file will be charged a $50 deposit. Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable.

5. How long do results last? Results typically last 1-3 years, depending on your skin type and aftercare. Touch-ups are recommended to keep your brows looking their best.

6. Do you accept payment plans? At this time, payment plans are not available. However, I’m happy to provide a breakdown of costs in advance to help with your planning!

7. Do you offer in-person consultations? Absolutely! Consultations are included before each appointment to discuss your expectations, preferences, and desired results. I also offer a consultation where we can map out the brows and discuss any questions you may have. Feel free to reach out with any questions prior to your visit.

8. What is the healing process like? Your brows will go through different healing stages and appear darker as they heal. The pigment will settle over time, and the color will soften to its final shade.

  • Days 1-10: Your brows will appear 30-50% darker than the final result. Some light peeling may occur as the skin begins to shed.

  • Days 11-15: More noticeable peeling and flaking will happen during this phase. It's important not to pick at or scratch the brows, as this can affect the healing process and final result. Healing ointment is provided for you in an after care bag.

  • Days 16-30: The color will continue to soften, and your brows should settle into their final shade. The fading effect will become more evident, with the ombre transition becoming smoother.

Important Note: Everyone’s skin and healing is unique. If you’re unsure about the process or have questions, I’m here to help you feel informed and confident before booking.

Touch-Ups & Long-Term Care

Permanent makeup can last 1-3 years, but to maintain the perfect shape and color, a touch-up is generally recommended 6-8 weeks after your initial session. This allows us to refresh the pigment and ensure consistent coverage. Touch-ups are typically quicker than the first session and help keep your brows looking fresh and defined.

If you notice fading or areas where the pigment didn’t take as well, a touch-up is a good idea to maintain the vibrancy and shape.

By following these aftercare instructions, you’ll enjoy beautiful, long-lasting results!
