Welcome
•HOW IT WORKS
During your initial appointment OR consultation, we will discuss color, shape, size and desired goals. In these gallery photos you will see eyeliner work as well as brows of different types. It's important to remember I design a brow for you, not anyone else. It's not a "trendy" brow; it's not a brow "fad"; it's the most complimentary brow we can achieve based on your features and preferences. (Note: Most work seen here is immediately after procedure so the pigment appears darker and bolder than what it will heal to.) After your procedure, your makeup will appear darker and more vibrant for 7-10 days and then begin to lighten and soften until weeks 3-4. At 8+ weeks we will perform a touch up procedure, if necessary, in order to perfecting touches on your new, amazing makeup! No implantation will be done until the client and myself agree on the shape and color she/he desires for their face. I will of course guide the process with my professional input and make suggestions for changes if I feel the shape is too much, too little or not right for the face. However, it is extremely important that the client plays a role in designing the makeup as it goes home with YOU at the end of the day. I do focus on the conservative and natural side of the finished look. To enhance your natural beauty is my personal goal!
PRE-TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
Allergy testing for pigments is recommended but not mandatory at least one week before the planned procedure. Persons with very sensitive skin and who have a history of allergic reactions should undergo an allergy test prior to a procedure. Delicate areas may swell slightly or become red. It is advised not to make social plans for the same or next day. The use of aftercare and ice will minimize pain, swelling and bruising the first 5 days (consult with me prior to adding the afore mentioned to your healing regiment). Preparing for the procedure can make a big impact on the results of your procedure. The skin must be healthy and not irritated. The following will assist in a good result and better healing experience.
1. Wear your brows into your appointment as you normally would.
2. No Botox 3 weeks before/ 3 weeks after. Botox may alter the shape of the brow and distort the results.
3. No Retinol or Vitamin A skincare products 3-4 weeks before/ 3 weeks after procedure.
4. No peels, microdermabrasion, or certain facials (those that cause resurfacing/healing of skin) 2 weeks before/ 3 weeks after.
5. No tanning (sunburned face) 1 week prior to procedure/ Do not expose pigment to tanning after procedure.
6. No tweezing or waxing 1 week before. No electrolysis or laser 1 week before.
7. No fish oils, Aspirin, Niacin or Vitamin E 1 week before (blood thinners).
8. No alcohol consumption 48 hours before (blood thinner).
9. No caffeine 24 hrs before (can increase pain).
10.Eyelashes or eyebrows that are usually dyed should not be done within 72 hours before and 3 weeks after.
11.Eyelash extensions must be removed at least one week before and not replaced for 3 weeks after (for liner procedure). Please keep in mind the timing of replacement if you plan to receive a touch up.
12.No contact lenses during procedures and for several days after (for liner procedure).
13.Lash or brow enhancing/ conditioning/ growth products must be stopped 3 weeks before any brow or eyeliner procedure and not used for 3 weeks after procedure. 14.Eyeliner procedures can cause your eyes to water or swell. It is recommended that you have someone available to drive you if you are taking any additional pain medications on your own as a safety precaution.
