It is recommended to have a touch up every 12-24mths depending on how defined your want your brows to look throughout the years. If you have a scar on your brow, you may need a touch up sooner since. Scars don’t hold color as well as normal skin texture.

Can I still do Botox?
It depends. It is recommended to wait till after your brow service to get Botox done. If we were to do your brows before the effects wear off, we will be measuring based off your Botox features. Shape may fall after your Botox has worn off. If you get your brows done first, the doctor will know where and how to place your injections so that your brows stay symmetrical. If your brows are not symmetrical and Botox corrects and bring symmetry to your face, then it is best to do ombré brows 4 weeks after your treatment.
How do I prepare for my appt?
Please allow your brows to grow naturally. No brow tint/lamination within a week of your appt. Planned vacation must be at least 2 week after to your appt date. Refrain from using blood thinning meds for a min of 48 hours prior to your appt (please talk with your doctor first). Do NOT drink alcohol or caffeine 48 hours prior. Avoid direct sun exposure for 2 weeks prior and 30 days post procedure. if you come sunburnt, you will forfeit deposit and will need to reschedule your appt with a new deposit.
How long is the healing process?
Biologically everyone heals at their own capacity. You will go through a 7 day dry healing stage and then you’ll notice your brows peeling. Please do not pick or scratch at the brows to achieve optimum results. On day 8 you may wet the brow but please refrain from rubbing when washing and pat dry. Aftercare is provided.
Do you have a scar on your brows?
Most of the time scar tissue has a different texture than normal unbroken skin. Color doesn’t always like to hold well in these areas and a touch up is more than likely needed after the healing period is over (6-8 weeks)
Do you have previous work done?
ALL PREVIOUS WORK MUST BE APPROVED PRIOR TO BOOKING AN APPOINTMENT. A full face picture showing both sides of the brows must be sent to me so that I may see how symmetrical and how dark the previous work was. Please make sure the lighting is bright, and no makeup is on the brows when taking the picture.
How often do I have to get a retouch?
This depends on how well your skin holds ink, how well your at home care was, and if you want to go darker or not. Usually the head of the brow just needs a little more color since it’s the lightest area. Most clients will not need to retouch more than every 1-2 years.
Submitting Selfies
Make sure you have great lighting with no shadows. Each side of the face is shown equally. NO makeup on brows, hair pulled back and no glasses on.
