EYEBROW PRE-CARE

• STOP USING ANY SKIN THINNERS (VITAMIN A, GLYCOLIC ACIDS, EXFOLIATION) ON THE BROW AREA 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO YOUR APPOINTMENT. 

• ANY WAXING OR BROW SHAPING SHOULD BE DONE AT LEAST 2 DAYS BEFORE. 

• IF YOU TINT YOUR BROWS, TINT THEM AT LEAST ONE WEEK PRIOR TO THE PROCEDURE. 

• COSMETIC BOTOX OR FILLERS SHOULD BE DONE 2 WEEKS PRIOR OR 2 WEEKS AFTER.  

• DO NOT CONSUME ALCOHOL, CAFFEINE OR TAKE ANY BLOOD THINNERS (ASPIRIN, IBUPROFEN, NIACIN 48 HOURS BEFORE YOUR PROCEDURE, THIS WILL CAUSE EXCESS BLEEDING AND MAY AFFECT YOUR RESULTS).

• YOU MAY COME IN WITH HOW YOU NORMALLY DRAW IN YOUR BROWS SO WE CAN SEE WHAT YOU ARE USED TO.  THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR CLIENTS WHO DESIRE A SPECIFIC BROW SHAPE, ALTHOUGH WE GO THROUGH THE MAPPING PROCESS TOGETHER.  

• YOU MAY EXPERIENCE HYPERSENSITIVITY AND MORE PAIN AROUND OR DURING YOUR MENSTRUAL CYCLE. WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TATTOO OVER ANY BLEMISHES, SORES, AND MOLES IN OR AROUND THE BROW AREA. 

EYEBROW AFTER CARE 

​AFTER CARE IS CRUCIAL, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE FULL 14 DAY HEALING PERIOD TO ENSURE PROPER HEALING AND COLOR RETENTION. RESULTS WILL VARY FOR ALL INDIVIDUALS AND WE CAN NOT GUARANTEE YOUR RESULTS.

• YOU WILL WASH YOUR BROWS MORNING AND NIGHT. JUST USE WATER AND WET YOUR FINGERTIPS AND PAT ALL THROUGHOUT YOUR BROWS EVERYDAY FOR 7-10 DAYS OR UNTIL THE FLAKING HAS STOPPED.  

• MAKE SURE YOU BLOT YOUR BROWS COMPLETELY DRY WITH A PAPER TOWEL AFTER WASHING.  ALLOW NO WATER TO COLLECT OR SIT IN THE BROW AREA.  

• APPLY THE OINTMENT PROVIDED TO YOUR BROWS MORNING AND NIGHT AND ONCE DURING THE DAY.  YOU MUST USE A VERY SMALL AMOUNT (SIZE OF A PIECE OF RICE) TO EACH BROW WITH CLEAN FINGERS.  

• OILY SKIN TYPES MAY BE TOLD TO AVOID OINTMENT ALL TOGETHER AND ALLOW A DRY HEAL PROCESS FOR THE 7-10 DAYS. 

WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE  

• DO NOT EXPECT YOUR BROW TATTOOS TO HEAL PERFECTLY AFTER THE FIRST SESSION. THIS CAN BE A 2 STEP PROCESS. IT TAKES TIME. BE PATIENT! DURING YOUR 10 DAY HEALING PROCESS YOUR BROWS WILL CHANGE AND APPEAR DIFFERENT FROM DAY TO DAY. 

• IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE BROWS WILL APPEAR DARKER AND MORE DEFINED AND THIS WILL LAST UP TO 2 WEEKS . YOUR BROW TATTOO CAN APPEAR MORE SOLID, HAIR STROKES MAY SEEM TO DISAPPEAR AND IT MAY LOOK WET AND PAINTED ON. 

• AROUND DAYS 4-5 YOU WILL EXPERIENCE FLAKING AND YOUR BROWS MAY LOOK DRY. DO NOT PICK YOUR BROWS, LET ANY DRYNESS FALL OFF NATURALLY. IF THE FLAKES GET PICKED OFF PREMATURELY, MISSING HAIR STOKES WILL RESULT AND CAUSE PATCHY BROWS WHICH CAN LEAD TO SCARRING. 

• WHEN THE FLAKING COMES OFF, THE HAIR STROKES MAY SEEM FAINT. THIS IS BECAUSE A FRESH LAYER OF SKIN HAS HEALED OVER THE BROW TATTOO. GIVE YOUR BROWS A FEW WEEKS AND THE HAIR STROKES WILL BECOME MORE CLEAR.  COLOR WILL CONTINUE TO CHANGE ON A DAILY BASIS UNTIL ALL HEALING IS COMPLETE AT THE 2 WEEK MARK. 

• YOU MAY EXPERIENCE ITCHINESS IN THE BROWS AFTER THE 10 DAYS FOR UP TO 2 MONTHS DUE TO THE HEALING PROCESS. NOT EVERYONES HAIRSTOKE BROWS CAN HEAL CLEAN AND CRISP. HAIRSTROKES FOR OILIER SKIN TYPES TEND TO HEAL MORE SOLID AND POWDERY WHILE DRIER SKIN TYPES TEND TO HEAL MORE CRISP AND DEFINED. ALSO FOR THOSE WHO BLEED MORE MAY TEND TO NEED MORE TOUCHUPS AS THE BLOOD PUSHES THE PIGMENT OUT WHILE WE TATTOO.  

THINGS NOT TO DO 

• DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR BROWS TO THE SUN DURING THE HEALING PROCESS.  UV RAYS CAN ALTER THE PIGMENT OF YOUR TATTOO.

• FOLLOWING THE FIRST 10 DAYS SPF IS IMPORTANT FOR THE LONGEVITY YOUR MICROPIGMENTATION.​ DO NOT SWEAT EXCESSIVELY FOR 7 DAYS. SWEAT CONTAINS SALT AND CAN INFECT AND PREMATURELY FADE YOUR BROW TATTOO. SALT IN THE SWEAT MAY ALSO ALTER THE COLOR OF YOUR TATTOO. MODERATE EXERCISE IS FINE.

• DO NOT RUN DIRECT WATER ON YOUR BROW TATTOO. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IN THE FIRST FEW DAYS, YOU DO NOT WANT TO WASH OUT ANY PIGMENT.

• DO NOT USE VASELINE ON YOUR TATTOO.

• DO NOT USE ANY MAKEUP, CREAMS, EXFOLIANTS ON THE BROWS FOR 10 DAYS. 

• DO NOT GO INTO SAUNAS, POOLS, AND STEAM ROOMS.

• DO NOT GET MASSAGES, FACIALS, OR SKIN TREATMENTS DURING THE HEALING PROCESS.

• DO NOT GO TANNING AND IF YOU DO COVER YOUR BROW TATTOO, UV RAYS CAN ALTER THE COLOUR OF YOUR TATTOO.

• DO NOT USE EXFOLIANTS, RETINOL ACIDS, OR AHA’S ON THE BROW AREA.  IT WILL FADE YOUR TATTOO PREMATURELY.

• DO NOT USE LASER LIGHT THERAPY ON YOUR BROW TATTOO. THIS CAN DARKEN, LIGHTEN, AND DISTORT THE PIGMENT.

TOUCH UPS 

• TOUCH UPS ARE TYPICALLY DONE WITHIN THE FIRST 3 MONTHS AFTER THE INITIAL APPOINTMENT.

• THIS IS TYPICALLY A 2 STEP PROCESS.

• THE FIRST SESSION IS USED TO BUILD SHAPE AND GAIN SYMMETRY.

• THE SECOND SESSION IS USED TO PERFECT THE BROWS AND ADD DENSITY.

• DO NOT EXPECT PERFECT RESULTS AFTER THE FIRST SESSION.

• CLIENTS WITH MELANIN RICH SKIN OR OILY SKIN TYPES, PERMANENT MAKEUP WILL NOT LOOK AS BOLD OR SHARP COMPARED TO LIGHTER, DRYER SKIN TYPE CLIENTS.

• SOME CLIENT’S SKIN MAY HAVE A MORE DIFFICULT TIME RETAINING PIGMENT AND MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SESSIONS. WITH LONG TERM CARE,​ THERE IS NO GUARANTEE OF YOUR RESULTS AS EVERYONE’S RESULT WILL VARY DUE TO SKIN TYPE, LIFESTYLE AND THE INITIAL 10 DAY CARE AND LONGTERM CARE OF YOUR BROW TATTOO.

• USE SPF TO PROTECT YOUR BROWS, SUN EXPOSURE WILL CAUSE FADING AND CAN ALTER THE COLOR OF YOUR TATTOO.

• DO NOT USE CHEMICAL EXFOLIANTS ON THE BROWS, THIS WILL CAUSE

  THE BROWS TO FADE FASTER.

• DO NOT DO LASER ON THE BROW AREA, SOME LASERS MAY CHANGE THE COLOR OF THE PIGMENT. AS THE TATTOO FADES THE STROKES WILL BECOME MORE FAINT AND LESS DEFINED. 

• MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN DESIRED RESULTS.

• TOUCHUPS ARE DONE ON AVERAGE EVERY 12-24 MONTHS TO MAINTAIN YOUR BROW TATTOO. 

• HAIRSTROKE BROWS TYPICALLY LAST 1-3 YEARS.
