Frequently Asked Questions

Microblading is a semi permanent makeup tattooing technique. Microblading is done with a small handheld tool made of several tiny needles. The handheld tool is used to create small cuts to make an illusion of hair strokes and add semi-permanent pigment to the skin. Touch ups are suggested every 1-1.5 years depending on skin.

Microblading is meant to be natural looking. Clients who have a decent amount of natural brow hair will have the most natural looking results. Microblading is done to give the illusion of more defined and fuller brows.

PLEASE NOTE:

Microblading results heal best on skin with smaller pores and normal/dry skin.

Lip blush is a type of semi permanent cosmetic tattooing procedure. Lip blushing focuses on altering both color and shape to create younger-looking lips. It does not make lips larger the way lip filler does. Lip border can be extended 1-2 mm to allow the illusion of a fuller lip and fix asymmetry. Touch ups are required every 1-2 years to keep lips looking best.

Exfoliate daily and moisturize lips for 1 week prior to your appointment.

PLEASE NOTE:

If you have experienced cold sores in the past, you are REQUIRED to receive a prescription strength valtrex from your doctor before your appointment!

Cosmetic tattooing is designed to fade over time. Factors such as skin type, lifestyle, age, metabolism, medications, and pigment color affect the longevity of the tattoo. The sun and some kinds of lighting (tanning beds) can affect the rate at which these pigments are broken down. To take care of your brows follow the aftercare instructions and touch-up your brows every 12-18 months (as needed). Touch-ups are normal and expected for Permanent Cosmetics. 

**Please note that final results vary and CANNOT be guaranteed due to the nature of skin as it heals. A follow-up appointment is recommended at 6-8 weeks where we can assess your pigment retention and make any changes necessary. 

Each appointment varies because of the custom shaping and design. Most appointments take between 2.5 and 3.5 hours. 

Cash is prefered. Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, Zelle, or Credit Cards are also accepted.
