Yes, clients who have had their brows previously done by another artist MUST submit photos before booking a service. New clients with virgin brows do not require a consultation, however are invited to submit photos if a recommendation is needed before booking. Simply fill out the "online consultation" form on the CONTACT page.

Permanent makeup techniques are typically not painful, as long as the artist is experienced. Clients may feel a scratching sensation at most but fast-acting anesthetic is applied throughout the procedure to increase client comfort. Most clients describe the pain level as 0-5 out of 10 and many fall asleep during the procedure.

On average, eyebrow tattooing can last 1-3 years between touch-ups, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and desired results. Oilier skin types, frequent exfoliant users, and lighter colour pigments tend to fade faster.

After the perfecting session, a touch-up is recommended at 12-18 months. After this first 12-18 month touch-up, clients can expect to wait another 2-3 years before having another touch-up. The longer time in between touch-ups, the better for skin health. Touch-ups are not required annually, in fact, annual touch-ups are discouraged to preserve skin integrity.

Immediately after, brows will appear darker/thicker than expected and there is redness/warmth in the colour due to underlying redness in the skin - this will subside. There may also be some lymphatic fluid draining from the skin as a natural immune response. For the following 7-14 days, the brows will dry out and form a complete scab. After 4-7 days, the scabs will begin to crack and flake off in chunks - this can look scary but it is NORMAL! After peeling, they will appear exceptionally light and/or patchy and pink; do not panic if the colour seems to disappear - it will slowly resurface. After 6-8 weeks, the brows are considered fully healed and we will adjust any imperfections in the colour/shape at the perfecting session.

Eyebrow tattoos can last many years if proper care is taken. After healing, clients should always apply SPF to their brows prior to sun exposure and avoid having direct sunlight on their face. Acids and other active ingredients in skin care should also be avoided on/around the brow area as these products can fade and distort the pigment colour. If having a facial/chemical peel/medical treatment (MRI, etc.), the technician should be informed and MUST avoid the tattooed area. If the tattoo is fading but the shape is still visible, clients can opt to apply makeup and/or have brow henna/tinting over top. Tattooed brows are meant to be LOW-MAINTENANCE, not no-maintenance - clients should still expect to groom stray hairs and apply some makeup as needed.

Unfortunately, no. All new clients are considered new services, subject to full pricing. Additionally, not all clients with existing brow tattoos are eligible for our services. Each case needs to be individually assessed to determine whether it is even possible to work over the existing brows. In many cases, saline tattoo lightening is recommended first in order to start with a blank canvas. Clients with existing brow tattoos and/or microblading must fill out the "online consultation" form on the CONTACT page for approval before booking a service.
