FAQ'S - EYEBROW TREATMENTS

What is Nanoblading/Microblading?

Nanoblading, or Microblading as most know it as, is a form of semi-permanent make-up in which we use a handheld blade tool, NOT a machine, to create realistic hairlike strokes. Each stroke blends in seamlessly with your existing hairs creating a fuller look whilst remaining incredibly natural. Pigment is placed within the most shallow part of the dermis, which yields for very natural looking results.

We use the smallest nano blade in the market in order to achieve the most natural look possible. This also helps in creating less trauma to the skin.

Which eyebrow technique is right for me?

We will have a 10-15 minute consultation the day of your treatment. During this consultation, I will advise on which technique is most appropriate for your skin type and lifestyle.

Clients can also text a photo of their brows and we can direct you to the technique we think will work best for you.

Nanoblading/Microblading: If you are not one to paint your brows in, have normal/dry skin, and have pretty full brows, then you can opt for this service. For oily skin, retention rate will be shorter and the strokes might not heal as thin and crisp.

Nanoblade/Microblade & Shade: If you have patchiness, have oily skin, have less hair on one brow than the other, or no hair on your brows — this service is usually recommended for better results.

Powder Brows Combo: This service is for clients that want more of a make-up look or have really oily skin where Nanoblading/Microblading alone won’t last.

Nano Machine Strokes: This service strictly uses a machine and is for clients that want a natural look but aren't candidates for Nanoblading/Microblading. This could be due to you having sensitive or oily skin. This technique can also last longer than Microblading.

Will the treatment hurt?

Everyone has a different pain tolerance and it is subjective. In most cases, clients experience mild to no discomfort during the treatment. A topical numbing cream will be applied after the initial pass.

For most clients, they say that it's completely tolerable.

We want clients to be as comfortable as possible while also ensuring that we do all that is possible to have great healed results!

Do I have to tweeze/wax/thread my brows before?

No, if you can, please come to the appointment with as natural of a look as possible that way we can map out your new eyebrow shape in accordance with your natural hair growth.

How long does it take to heal?

There is essentially no downtime with this procedure. Some clients, however, do experience slight redness and possibly even slight swelling for the first couple of hours post-treatment.

Your brows should be healed 7-15 days after your treatment. During this time it is crucial you strictly adhere to our aftercare instructions for optimal results!

Do I need more than one session?

Every client is different. It all depends on multiple factors (i.e. skin type, lifestyle, if medications are taken, skincare routine) and more importantly, the client's eyebrow goals.

Most clients, however, find that one session is enough to achieve their goals. We will always recommend the touch-up to increase the longevity of the results.

If a touch-up is needed/wanted, it's 6-8 weeks after the initial session and it is $150.

How long does it last?

It can typically last 8-18 months before a touch-up is needed to keep the look fresh. How often you need a touch-up all depends on how you treat the area as well as your skin, skincare routine, lifestyle, and age.

How do you determine which shape is right for me?

Our goal is to enhance your brows by creating a shape based on what you already have that will flatter your facial features. If you do not have any brow hair then we will create a shape strictly following your bone structure.

Each set of brows is custom-tailored to that client. We do not copy and paste since everyone has unique facial features. We use multiple methods to determine which shape will better suite your facial structure.

FAQ'S - LIPS TREATMENTS

What is Lip Blush?

Lip blush is a form of semi-permanent make-up that can enhance the color of your lips, giving the appearance of a lip tint. It can also correct symmetry, add definition & fullness. Our lips lose color & become thinner as we age. Lip blush can bring back that vibrancy.

Using a rotary machine and a fine needle, pigment is implanted onto the lips. Results are customized for every client.

What if I have fillers? Can it be done?

Yes, absolutely! Lip fillers and lip blush actually compliment each other beautifully. It does not interfere with the treatment.

A 4-week waiting period is required in between your filler appointment and lip blush.

Will the treatment hurt?

Clients can experience some slight discomfort but describe it to be tolerable. A topical numbing cream will be applied throughout the procedure.

The actual tattooing part lasts about an hour.

Will this trigger cold sores?

This treatment can trigger cold sores if you are a carrier of the herpes simplex virus.

If you have had any cold sores in the past, or know you are a carrier, to prevent a flare up it is recommended to take an antiviral medication such as Valtrex. Your doctor will advise when to take it and for how long. Normally clients will take it for a few days prior, the day of, and a few days post treatment.

How long does it take to heal?

There is essentially no downtime with this procedure. Clients will experience swelling for the first couple of hours post-treatment.

Your lips should be healed 5-10 days after your treatment. During this time it is crucial you strictly adhere to our aftercare instructions for optimal results!

Do I need more than one session?

Every client is different. It all depends on multiple factors (i.e. skin type, lifestyle, if medications are taken, skincare routine) and more importantly, the client's goals.

In some cases, clients do require more than one session. We highly recommend a touch-up session. It is necessary in some cases.

Whether it’s because the color faded more than expected (due to factors outside of our control) if we need to build the color, or you just want more adjustments made to the shape/color.

How long does it last?

It can typically last approximately 2-3 years before a touch-up is needed to keep the look fresh. How often you need a touch-up all depends on how you treat the area as well as your skin, health, lifestyle, sun exposure, and skincare routine.

How do you determine which shape is right for me?
