FAQs
Unsure about which service to choose?
My first question to a new client is are you looking for something semi permanent or longer lasting? Semi permanent options include Henna, Tinting, Brow Lamination, and standard Wax and Shaping.
If youre looking for something longer lasting Nano brows or Ombre powder brows. To check out some recent work I have examples of these different styles in the gallery feel free to check out the photos to compare styles. Scroll down to “Permenant makeup questions” for more info on these services
If you’re still unsure what style would suit you best and would prefer a suggestion based on your brows, please fill out an online consultation, you can attach a photo and I will get back to you with my recommendation!

Lamination is a lift and reshape for your natural brows. The hair is relaxed and set with laminating brow solutions to make your brows look fluffy and styled without the gel/pomade.This service can be maintained every 4-6 weeks and can last 8-12 weeks with proper care.

Henna is a stain for the brow hair and skin. This process stains the skin and the hair to give a filled in affect and last longer than a brow tint/ pencil. Stain on the skin can last up to 2 weeks, color on the hair can last 6 weeks+
What is the difference between eyebrow Tint and Henna?
Brow tint is meant to dye the eyebrow hairs, where henna is meant to stain the hair and the skin underneath to give a longer lasting filled in look, this is a great option if you’re filling in your brows every day or have sparse areas.

Permanent Makeup Questions
What are Nano and Ombre Powder brows?
Nano / Ombre Powder brow techniques are ideal for clients who are looking for long-lasting eyebrow options. These services are great if you are tired of filling in your brows regularly, have an asymmetrical shape, or have sparse areas where hair will not grow. These are good for all skin types especially for clients experiencing poor retention with services like microblading or have oily skin. Both are almost painless procedures and topical numbing is used throughout services.
Ombre powder brows are a pixelated machine technique filling in the entire brow with soft shaded fronts and defined tails. This service is a soft power look once healed. This service takes about 2.5 hours to complete and requires a 6 week touch up. Depending on your skin type the pigment will fade slowly over 18-24 months but can last longer. Yearly touch ups are generally recommended.
Nano hair strokes are a machine shaded hair stroke technique. This is an extremely natural permanent makeup technique. This service takes about 2 hours and requires a 4 week touch up. Can last 6mo-1yr+ depending on retention. Yearly touch ups recommended.
Factors that may not make you a good candidate for PMU:
Previous work/old microblading can sometimes interfere with new nano/powder brows. Pregnancy and breastfeeding, keloid scarring, diabetes, circulatory and bleeding disorders, blood thinning medications, accutane (last 6mo), botox within the last 6 weeks, serious disease/autoimmune disorders and recent or regular use of active medical skincare products can also affect longevity and results.
How do I prepare for a permanent makeup service?
Prep for your appointment to get the best healed results. Avoiding alcohol the night before and caffeine the day of the the procedure is recommended for the day as both are blood thinners.
Do not take asprin, ibuprofen, fish oil/omega 3, niacin or vitamin e prior to your service. Its best to avoid things like chemical peels, active ingredient skin care like retinols, acids, BHAs, botox, facial lasers and waxing for at least 2 weeks before your procedure.
What is the aftercare for a permanent makeup procedure?
Right after your service you wont need to touch your brows until day 2, washing your brows with provided was will help keep the area clean. A brow balm is provided after the procedure and can be applied twice a day to lock in color.
Avoid sun, sweating, saunas, swimming, facials, skincare directly on the area. Continue for 1.5-2 weeks or until brows are healed.
Extensive prep and aftercare will be provided during your consultation.
Long term aftercare : Once your brows are fully healed its best to keep SPF on the brows regularly to prevent premature fading. Retinols, AHA/BHAs can also effect how fast the pigment will fade
How long does it take
The appointment can take anywhere between 2-3.5 hours depending on each client, this includes time for in depth consultation and mapping. A 6 week follow up is also included which is typically shorter but is based on color retention.
How long does it last?
PMU services are called permanent because of their longevity but generally wont last forever. Touch ups are typically done between 8 months up to two years post service. Each client retains color differently. Over time the pigment should lighten and fade, with proper aftercare brows should maintain the same shade, no orange brows over here!
Touch up pricing is based on the amount of time between initial service and touch up.
What is the healing process like?
Healing brows go through a couple different phases before fully healed
Day 1: The brows are freshly done they will be defined and the color is a fresh. Day 3: The brows may get a bit darker and cool down in color Day 5: Light flaking may occur for a week or so as the pigment settles Day 8: Its normal for the brows to be very light and soft, but we wait 8 weeks for pigment to fully settle and come back to the skin. Then a touch up can be done but is not always necessary.
Do I need to book a consultation?
PMU services like nano and ombre powder brows do require an in person consultation. All other services can be booked online.
