Who is a candidate? 

There are a few misconceptions, the biggest being that it is only for individuals with severe hair loss. Although these clients can benefit from this procedure immensly, individuals looking to add depth and color will find great value in this permanent makeup procedure. It is also a great choice for those wanting to correct their brow shape after years of follicle damage due to various epilation methods.

What if you have an existing tattoo?

If you have had your brows done else where previously, you will be required to submit a photo in natural lighting without any make up. I will determine whether you are a candidate.

Do my brows need to be shaped prior?

Absolutely not, it is desirable to have as many natural hairs as possible to achieve a natural look.

Can I return to work the following day?

Yes, swelling and redness will subside within 24hrs. The color of your brows will appear dark for the first few days but will soften.

Is it permanent?

Technically, semi-permanent micro-pigmentation is considered permanent because pigment is implanted into the upper dermal layer of the skin and cannot be washed off. However, the pigment is implanted more superficially than a traditional tattoo, so it naturally fades over time.

How long is the procedure?

The appointment will take approximately 2-3 hours, depending on the brow shape and amount of work required.
