LOOKING FOR INFORMATION?

I offer 3 options for Permanent Make-Up eyebrows to help you achieve your desired brow look.:

• Ombre Powder Brows: Gives a soft, powdery filled-in brow look using shading. This technique is great for creating fuller looking brows.

• Nano Hair Strokes: Mimic individual hairs with thin hair-like strokes. This technique recreates the look of natural brow hairs for defined yet subtle brows.

• Combination: It combines both shading and hair strokes. Microshading fills and defines the shape then fine hair strokes are added for a natural look. The Combination creates beautiful dimensional brows.

• The procedure is about 2 hours long. It starts with a mini consultation, then your brows will me drawn with pencil based on your natural eyebrows and you facial bones and muscles. Click here to check an example of this process.

• Once you approve the shape, the pigments begin to be applied using a new (and super thin) needle to re-create the pencil outline. At this point topical numbing creams are applied, and then the shading begins.

• Once the procedure is done you can do a last check on your brows. Lastly, the aftercare instructions are provided and you are all set!

Immediate right after each appointment you will have to go through 14 days of a healing process.

During this time there are some activities you should avoid, and there are a few routine instructions you will need to follow to keep your eyebrows from any healing issues. For more information you can read all about by clicking here!

For starters, anyone under the age of 18, pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any type of medication/antibiotics. There are more health-related conditions that could disqualify you, so feel free to check the full list by clicking here!

Also, check the policy for other important information.

The color will be based on your natural eyebrows color. The goal is to match it for the most natural results. As a disclaimer, we do not use the color black.

Also, during your first appointment, the color will be done in a medium tone. Later on, when you come back for a touch-up, more color in a darker tone can be added if needed/desired. The goal is to go from less to more to make sure you are happy with the results.

Regarding the shape, as mentioned before, it will be based on your natural eyebrows and you facial bones and muscles. Click here to check an example of this process.

Sometimes a small amount of your eyebrows will be shaved to improve your shape, but we try to keep this to a minimum.

First of all, “Eyebrows are sisters, not twins”. If your brows are naturally uneven there is very little we can do, without messing up your brows. In cases like this one brow is lowered by saving the top, and the other one is raised by shaving the bottom. This is done by shaving no more than 15% of your brows. We are just trying to level them a bit. If we shave more than that to completely move your brows, you will end up with a bad case of a double eyebrow, which looks awful. So even if you don’t book with me, don’t you ever let anyone shave more than 25% of your brows!

You will need a first appointment and then a follow up touch-up is recommended 4-8 weeks later. After this you will only need maintenance touch-ups every 1-2 years (depending on the look you are trying to maintain, lifestyle, skin type, skin products you use, and how well your skin retains the color). If you don't do the touch-ups then it just fades overtime until you barely see the pigments.

Yes! You will need a first appointment touch-up around 4-8 weeks from the first appointment date.

After this, you will only need to come once every year or two. Keep in mind this varies for everyone. Some can go longer than 2 years, while others need to come more often than every year.

It also depends on the look you are trying to maintain, some clients like a bolder look, so they opt to come every 6-8 months. This is totally optional, and pricing is based on the amount of time since last appointment. Refer to my appointments section for a full list of touch-up prices.Click here!

No, Permanent Make-Up for eyebrows is not the same as a regular tattoo. It is a form of tattoo as it is considered body arts. Here are some key differences:

•The ink used in Permanent Make-Up is formulated specifically for use on the face and eyebrows. It is semi-permanent, fading over time unlike permanent tattoo ink.

•Permanent Make-Up is a surface-level procedure, the ink is deposited in the top layers of skin. A tattoo penetrates much deeper into the dermis.

•The Needles used for Permanent Make-Up are the thinnest available. Tattooing uses multiple thick needles, which makes it more painful.

•Permanent Make-Up results look more natural, subtle and defined versus the heavier appearance of an eyebrow tattoo.

•In Permanent Make-Up the use of numbing creams is normal, unlike a regular tattoo.

So in summary, Permanent Make-Up is a type of semi-permanent makeup designed to enhance and define the brows in a natural way, not the same as getting a permanent eyebrow tattoo. The results are softer and more subtle.

Ok! So if this is your first time getting your brows done, you have virgin brows and the prices start at $550 (depending on the technique).

If you have done a similar procedure before, you no longer have virgin brows, and you will probably need a cover-up or correction service which start at $600. Keep in mind that approval is needed before booking. So you will need to send us pictures first, as instructed by clicking here!

From time to time we run special promotions, so ask us to check if there is any available.
