Frequently Asked Questions

Permanent makeup (also called cosmetic tattooing) is a form of micropigmentation where pigment is implanted into the skin to enhance your natural features. With my gentle techniques it's designed to heal very soft & natural and can last anywhere from 3–5 years depending on your skin type & lifestyle.

Most clients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the experience is! A topical numbing cream is applied before and during the procedure to minimize discomfort. Everyone's pain tolerance is different, but the majority of my clients actually fall asleep!

New appointments typically take approximately 4 hours. This includes your before & after photos/videos, design, numbing time, the procedure itself, and aftercare instructions. Please don't rush, I like to take my time to make sure everything is perfect for you!

Your perfecting touch-up session usually takes about 2 hours.

Results typically last 3–5 years depending on the service, your skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure. Oilier skin types may fade faster. Touch-up refreshers are recommended to keep your results looking fresh and vibrant.

It's best to have non-irritated, non-sensitive, healthy skin before your procedure. Here's what to keep in mind:

• No Accutane 1 year prior
• No lash serums 12 weeks prior
• No Botox, fillers, or Retinol 4 weeks prior
• No facials, peels, or micro-dermabrasion 2 weeks prior
• No tanning in the sun or beds 2 weeks prior
• No unprotected sun exposure 1 week prior
• No waxing, tweezing, or electrolysis 1 week prior
• No Fish Oil, Vitamin E, Garlic, Ginkgo biloba, Ginger, Baby Aspirin, or any other blood thinners 1 week prior

*Always consult with your Physician before discontinuing use of prescribed medication.

Come with a clean face and no makeup on the area being treated.

I offer a no pressure complimentary consultation so you can ask questions, discuss your goals, and make sure permanent makeup is right for you, before committing to anything. It's a great way to get comfortable and excited about the process!

The initial healing takes about 7–14 days. During this time you may experience some redness, slight swelling, and the color will appear darker before softening. The area will flake and peel, this is completely normal! Full healing and true color settling takes about 4–6 weeks.

During healing, avoid getting the area wet (no swimming, saunas, or excessive sweating), picking or scratching, applying makeup directly on the treated area, and sun exposure. I will provide you with complete aftercare instructions at your appointment.

The perfecting touch-up session at 8–12 weeks is a separate appointment where I assess how your skin has healed and retained the pigment, then make any refinements needed. Every skin type heals differently, so this session ensures your results are exactly where they should be.

Microblading uses a manual blade to create fine hair-stroke imitations, while Powder Brows use a machine to create a soft, powdered makeup effect. Powder Brows tend to last longer and are better suited for oily or mature skin. I currently offer Powder Brows and can refer you to a trusted microblading artist if that's what's best for you.

Yes! You can choose top lash line only, bottom lash line only, or both. I will help you decide what will look most natural and flattering for your eye shape during your consultation.

Henna Brows are a natural, plant-based brow tint that stains the skin and brow hairs to create a defined, fuller-looking brow.
