    4. the 4 types of brows

    5. the 6 brow techniques

    5.1 Nano Brows - Hair Strokes Only

    Nano Brows use an ultra-fine needle (nano needle) on a digital/PMU machine to deposit pigment in crisp, hair-like strokes to create a very natural look. The hair strokes are integrated into the brow’s natural hair to create a fuller more dense look.


    • Technique: Performed with a digital permanent makeup machine and a single ultra-fine nano needle (or small needle configuration) to create precise, hair-like strokes that are thinner and crisper than traditional microblading.
    • Appearance: Extremely natural and refined. The strokes are sharper and more defined than hand-tool microblading, blending seamlessly with existing eyebrow hairs and often looking more realistic, even close-up.
    • Durability: Semi-permanent, typically lasting 1.5–3+ years with proper care. Generally lasts longer than microblading, especially on oily or mature skin, because the machine allows for deeper and more consistent pigment deposition.
    • Best for: Almost all skin types, including oily, combination, and mature skin. Ideal for clients who want the most natural hair-stroke look but need something that holds up better than traditional microblading.
    • Healing: Gentler and faster than microblading for most clients. Less trauma to the skin (no actual blade cutting), reduced swelling, and minimal scabbing; strokes retain sharpness and color better during healing.
    • Popularity: Rapidly overtaking microblading in many markets because it delivers the same (or better) natural hair-stroke result while being more versatile, longer-lasting, and suitable for a wider range of skin types. Clients increasingly prefer nano brows or combination nano brows (hair strokes + soft shading) for enhanced longevity and fullness without looking “makeup-y.”

    5.2 Microblading - Hair Strokes Only

     Microblading uses a hand tool with a tiny blade to add hair strokes to your brows for a fuller denser look.  The look of Microblading is similar to Nano Brows, but the hair strokes are thicker and applied more uniformly than Nano since the Microblading strokes aren't crossed with each other due to being a cut technique.


    • Technique: Uses a handheld tool with a tiny blade to create hair-like strokes on the skin, mimicking natural brow hairs.
    • Appearance: Very natural, with strokes that blend seamlessly with existing eyebrow hairs.
    • Durability: Semi-permanent, typically lasting 1 to 3 years, though touch-ups are needed as the strokes fade.
    • Best for: Those looking for a natural enhancement of sparse or thin brows.  Not recommended for clients with oily or more mature skin.
    • Healing: Can be more involved due to the fine, precise cuts made in the skin, especially more mature skin.
    • Popularity: Microblading is popular because of its natural look, but clients tend to prefer the combination brows since the shading makes it last longer and fuller.

    5.3 Nano Combination - Hair Strokes and Shading

    Also known as Nano Combo or Hybrid Nano Brows. This technique combines ultra-precise nano hair strokes with soft, powdered shading for the most natural yet defined and long-lasting result. Here you can see hair strokes that have been integrated into the brow’s natural hair, plus a soft shaded background that gives fullness and dimension.

    • Technique: Performed with a digital permanent makeup machine using an ultra-fine nano needle (or small needle configuration) to create crisp, realistic hair strokes, combined with a soft shading technique (often using a larger needle configuration or magnum) to add gentle density and a powdered effect between the strokes.
    • Appearance: The ultimate balance of natural and polished. Realistic hair strokes blend perfectly with existing brow hairs, while the light-to-medium shading adds fullness, depth, and a soft “makeup” look without ever appearing harsh or blocky.
    • Durability: Longest-lasting hair-stroke style, typically 2–4 years with proper care. The combination of strokes + shading retains both sharpness and color intensity far better than strokes-only techniques, especially on oily or mature skin.
    • Best for: Almost everyone — oily skin, mature skin, sparse brows, over-plucked brows, or clients who want a naturally full brow that still looks like “makeup” but never needs filling in. Perfect for those who love the hair-stroke look but want it to last longer and appear fuller.
    • Healing: Gentle and predictable. Minimal trauma compared to blading, light flaking instead of heavy scabbing, and the shading helps the strokes stay crisp and visible throughout the healing process.
    • Popularity: Currently the most requested brow technique in premium salons. Clients love that it gives the hyper-realistic hair strokes of nano brows plus the longevity and everyday polish of powder/ombre brows — all in one session. It’s quickly becoming the gold standard for modern, low-maintenance, flawless brows.

    5.4 Microblading Combination - Hair Strokes and Shading

    Microblading Combination, like Nano Brows, uses both hair strokes at the head of the brows and shading toward the tails to create a shaped natural look. The look is similar to Nano Combination, except the hair strokes are thicker and applied more uniformly than Nano since the Microblading strokes do not cross each other due to being a cut technique.


    • Technique: Combines Microblading (for the front and body of the brow) with a shading technique (similar to Powder Brows) for the tail or the entire brow to add depth and fullness.
    • Appearance: Offers both the natural look of hair strokes and the fuller, shaded look of powder brows, providing a versatile, multi-dimensional effect.
    • Durability: Similar to microblading in terms of longevity, with the shading lasting slightly longer. Not recommended for clients with oily or older skin.
    • Best for: Individuals wanting the best of both worlds - natural hair-like strokes and a soft, filled-in appearance.  Not recommended for clients with oily or more mature skin.
    • Healing: Combines the healing aspects of both microblading and shading techniques.
    • Popularity: A more popular hair stroke technique than microblading because the addition of shading makes it last longer than just hair strokes by itself.

    5.5 Ombre Brows - Shading Only

    Ombre Brows is our most popular brow.  It is a shading-only technique where the shading uses a gradient that goes from light at the head to dark.  It is a makeup look, but the gradient gives it a little bit of natural look as well; whereas, Powder Brows are a pure makeup look. 


    • Technique: Uses a tattoo machine with a needle to deposit pigment in a stippling or shading method, creating a gradient effect where the color is lighter at the front of the brow and darker towards the tail.
    • Appearance: Provides a soft, makeup-like finish that looks like filled-in brows with a pencil or shadow. Less about mimicking individual hairs and more about overall color and shape.
    • Durability: Can last longer than Microblading, often up to 2-5 years, with the color fading softer and more uniformly.
    • Best for: Those who prefer a makeup look or have oily skin, as this method holds up better over time.  Recommended for darker skin tones since hair strokes are difficult to see on darker skin.  Also recommended for more mature skin since the cutting action of Microblading can be more difficult to heal for older skin.
    • Healing: Generally easier and less painful during the healing process compared to microblading.
    • Popularity:  A more popular shading technique than Power Brows because the gradient can make it look more natural.

    5.6 Powder Brows - Shading Only

     Powder Brows is a shading-only technique where the shading uses the same darkness (saturation level) across the entire brow.  Powder Brows are a pure makeup look. 


    • Technique: Similar to Ombre Brows but can vary in the extent of the gradient. It might involve a more uniform color application or less of a fade from light to dark.
    • Appearance: A solid, filled-in look, similar to the effect of brow powder or pencil. Can be tailored to be very soft or more defined.
    • Durability: Similar to ombre brows in terms of longevity.
    • Best for: Suitable for all skin types, particularly those with oily skin or those who want a consistent, filled-in look daily. Recommended for darker skin tones since hair strokes are difficult to see on darker skin.  Also recommended for more mature skin since the cutting action of Microblading can be more difficult to heal.
    • Healing: Like ombre brows, the healing process is generally straightforward with less scabbing compared to microblading.
    • Popularity:  A less popular shading technique than Ombre Brows because of the solid fill-in look, but tends to last the longest of all the techniques.

    Permanent makeup or cosmetic tattooing is a cosmetic technique which employs tattoos as a means of producing designs that resemble makeup, such as makeup used on brows, lips, and eyeliner.  It is similar to body tattooing, except permanent makeup uses pigment that is designed to fade and is injected at a shallower skin depth than body tattooing.


    Permanent makeup fades over time so there is some maintenance.  In general, you should expect a 6-week touch-up because it will likely fade the first session and then a refresh touch-up every year.  


    Depends.  We use numbing cream, but there still might be a little sting.  Everybody makes it through.  Lots of clients sleep through it.


    2 hours.  Expect the students to be slower than the masters.


    We specialize in permanent makeup for brows, lips, eyeliner, and scalp with over 25,000 clients in 2 locations in 8 years so you know you are in good hands. We have a ton of pictures of previous clients for you to view.  Your outcome represents our company so you know you will get our best. 


    We will do our best to give your great brows; however, there are no guarantees in permanent makeup.  No permanent makeup artists can guarantee results. How skin reacts to PMU is different for everyone and many factors are to be taken into consideration, such as how well clients care for their brows, skin type, age, scarring, diet, stress levels, facial products used, and medications, all play a key role in how the pigment will hold, which is why it is important to know that more than one touch-up may be required.  We can guarantee that your face is important to us and that we will act in accordance with our experience and expertise to give you our absolute best. We can guarantee that we will strive to make you satisfied and content every time, but there are no guarantees in this industry.  


    Wrong expectations are a big reason for client dissatisfaction.  It is important to have the right expectations when you get permanent makeup.   Permanent makeup is a process and you should not expect your brows to be perfect after the first procedure.  


    1) You should expect to get a 6-week touch-up because:

    - Brows usually heal light, very light,  or like it didn't take the first time.  

    - You may need color and shape corrections.

    - It is difficult to tell how a client's skin will heal the first time. There are a wide variety of results that can happen for each client.  Your friend's skin may have healed perfectly, but your results can be very different.

    - Touch-ups help extend the life of the brows and the time until the next refresh touch-up.


    2) After your 6-week touch-up, you should expect to get a refresh touch-up every 1-3 years because pigments are designed to fade over time to allow you to make changes over time as your style may change.


    Tips for getting the best results


    - Communicate Clearly - You probably know what style you like and that needs to be communicated to the tech.  Techs see a lot of clients and everybody has an idea of what they like and what is beautiful.  Do you best to communicate the style you want.  You might want to bring your favorite brow pencil or photos that would help the tech understand your personal style.

    - Shape - Our techs will consult with you to figure out want shape you want your brows then they will pencil draw the brows for your approval.  Make sure the pencil drawing is what you want before doing the procedure.  Don't approve something you don't like.

    - Aftercare - For best results, be sure to follow best practices for aftercare, including using the healing cream we provide, minimizing the sun, and no swimming for a couple weeks.

    - Be patient. Wait for the 6 weeks of healing to finish.  

    - Stick with the process.  It normally takes one or more touch-ups to get the results you want.  It is perfectly normal.  Don't expect the first session to be perfect.  Clients that stick with the process usually end up with results they like.



    Most clients new to permanent makeup have genuine concerns about the risk level - after all, it is their face!  Although their concerns are valid, if done properly, permanent makeup is not as risky as people think. And we've done over 25,000 brows at multiple locations so you know you are in good hands.  Follow these 3 steps for great results:


    • 1) Proper consultation - We will consult with you to find out what brows you want then pre-draw the brows with a pencil for your approval, so you know what they are going to look like before the procedure.  After the procedure, take time make sure you like the brows.  If there is something we need to adjust, let us know. 
    • 2) Proper aftercare - Follow our aftercare procedures.  This will insure you have the best results. 
    • 3) Expect to come back for your 6-week touchup.  Don't expect your brows to be perfect after the first procedure.  Permanent makeup often heals faded, patchy, or slightly unsymmetrical and clients need a touchup to fine tune their brows. 


    We can blend most colors depending on your needs.  We will consult with you before the procedure to figure out what works best with you.  We use dark brown instead of black pigment since black tends to turn a little greenish over time.  For greying, white hair, or blondes, we usually recommend taupe.  


    Permanent makeup is a process not a one time event.  


    6-Week Touch-up - You should expect to get a 6-week touchup since the brows will heal light, patchy, or like the pigment didn't take.  The 6-week touchup is also helpful for extending the length of the procedure, fine tuning the shape and color, and finalizing the look.  You may need to get more than 1 touchup.


    Refresh Touch-ups - After the 6-week touchup, it is common to get a refresh touchup every 1-2 years because the pigment fades over time.  Results vary for each person.


    Note: There are no guarantees in permanent makeup.  It works for most, but some skin doesn't retain the pigment well. 


    With permanent makeup, healing is difficult to predict.   It is different for every person.  Some heal perfectly. Some heal a little light.  Some heal like nothing was done.  We need to be conservative on the first procedure because we don't want your brows to heal too dark.  It is better to heal light then too dark.  At the touchup, we can see how your skin healed then make some adjustments, such as add more pigment if it heals light.  


    There are no guarantees that your skin will take the pigment better with the adjustments, but we can usually make it better.  If it still heals like nothing was done after the touchup, then your skin probably just kicks out the pigment too easily and permanent makeup won't work for you.


    Depends. In general, we usually do touchups for first time clients that just need a color refresh.  If you need shape correction, we would need to see your brows in person.  Call or text 727-213-8811 to get current pricing and/or book a new client touchup or free consultation.


    Depends.  We do minor corrections.  You can text a photo to 727-213-8811 so we can decide if you are eligible.   We may need you to come in for a consultation so we can take a look face to face.


    Brows take 6 weeks to heal properly.  Most of the big changes occur in the first 3 weeks. Read more about the aftercare below. 


    Our clients never have any issues with driving afterwards.  It's usually irritated, but not swollen much.


    No, but some clients prefer to have a couple days off right after.  The brows can be very dark and a little irritated.  Also you need to keep them clean for at least a week so if you work in a dirty environment, you may want to do them when you can take a few days off.


    We generally recommend waiting until after big events to get permanent makeup.  Healing can be light, patchy, or slightly unsymmetrical after the first procedure and you will most likely need to do a 6-week touchup to fine tune them to how you want them.  That being said, you can use makeup after a couple weeks if needed.


    We require you to be at least 18 years old.  Although tattooing is harder on older skin, there is no upper age limit. 


    If you have really oily skin and you did hair strokes, the pigment can spread easily and become less defined.  You might want to consider shading instead.    


    Permanent makeup is growing in popularity for cancer patients that have gone through chemo therapy and lost some or most of their hair.  We recommend checking with your doctor first.  If your doctor gives you the thumbs up, we can do it 6 months after your last treatment.


    Yes, but with the exceptions of translators or assistants, only clients are allowed in the procedure room.  We have a waiting room they can use.   


    Maybe. We can partially cover up scarring.  We can put pigment over most older scars, but not if it is too new.  We recommend the scar be at least 6 months old.


    No. We integrate the tattoo with your current brows. 


    The deposit is nonrefundable. 


    Yes, but we recommend not getting Botox close to your permanent makeup session.  Get Botox 2-4 weeks before or after getting permanent makeup.


    8. Preparing for your visit

    Understand the permanent makeup process.

    To obtain your best results, make sure you understand the permanent  makeup process.  For many of our clients, it is their first time to get permanent makeup and many don't know much about how it works.


    1. Book an appointment.  Most clients do the consult and procedure on the same day, but you can do them separately if you want.  We do free consultations.  Book online or call/text 727-213-8811 for an appointment.
    2. Once you arrive, we will have you fill out paperwork.
    3. We will do a consultation to figure out what you want.  If you aren't sure what you want, we can recommend a technique.  Once you decide on a design, then we will pencil draw the brows for your approval.  Be sure it is what you want.  If you don't like the drawing, let us know and we will change it until you approve.
    4. Once you approve the design, we will do the procedure.
    5. We will apply numbing cream.  It takes about 15 minutes for the numbing cream to kick in.  During the numbing, we will have you read over the aftercare.
    6. We will do the procedure and the tech will confirm you like the brows.  Make sure you like the brows because we cannot do additional work until the end of the 6 weeks of healing.
    7. When the procedure is finish, we will go over the aftercare process again and check you out. It is important to follow our aftercare directions carefully to prevent infection and to get the best results. (Read more about the aftercare below.)
    8. At first, your brows will look very dark.  They will peel within the first couple weeks and look very light.  The color will come back some over the 6 weeks of healing.
    9. At the end of the 6 weeks, you likely need to return for a 6 week touchup because you brows will likely heal light, patchy, slightly off symmetry, or like the pigment didn't take.  Don't worry.  That is what the touchup is for.
    10. At the 6 week touchup, the tech will take a look and see how your brows healed then make adjustments.  The touchup will have a similar 6 week healing process as the first procedure, but normally with improved results.
    11. If, at the end of the 6 weeks of healing, you need more work, we do a free follow up.
    12. Most clients will get a refresh touchup every 1-3 years because the pigment fades over time.
    13. Don't get discouraged if you don't like the results right away.  Most clients that stick with the process get good results.

    Come with the right expectations.

    We would love for all our clients to have perfect brows after the first procedure, but that is typically not how permanent makeup works.  Permanent makeup may take 2 or 3 procedures to get the results you want.


    • Permanent makeup is not permanent.  Expect it to fade over time.  It is designed to fade so that it is changeable over time as your likes change.  You might have a different style in a few years.
    • Expect results to vary widely from person to person due to factors like how well your skin accepts pigment, how well you care for you brows, your work environment, etc.  Permanent makeup results, especially the first procedure, can be perfect, light, very light, patchy, slightly unsymmetrical, or like the pigment didn't take.
    • Don't expect yours to heal the same as your friends. Results vary from person to person.
    • Don't expert yours to heal the same as the last time you did it.
    • Don't expect your permanent makeup to be like your body tattoos.  Permanent makeup uses different softer pigments and doesn't go as deep as body tattooing.
    • Expect to get at least one touchup.  There is a 75% chance that you will need the 6-week touch up and a 10% chance that you will need a third visit.
    • In rare cases, it doesn't work for some people because their skin pushes out there pigment too easily.
    • Expect to spend at least 2 hours for one services and 2.5 hours for two services.

    Dos and Don'ts

    • Don't get a sunburn.  Minimize your sun exposer  for at least a week.
    • Don't do any waxing or facial treatments a week before you come.
    • Don't do any threading a couple days before you come.
    • Don't drink alcohol or coffee within 24 hours of your appointment.
    • Don't shave your brows.  We integrate the tattooing into the brows you already have.
    • Don't expect perfect brow immediately.  Permanent makeup is a process.  You should expect to do a 6 week touchup and possibly more.  Also expect to get refreshes ever 1-2 years.
    • Do wear your makeup if you think it will help us understand your style.
    • Do bring a photo(s) if you think it can help the artist understand the style that you are wanting.
    • Do read the FAQ and aftercare so that you will be prepared for the process.  Clients love permanent makeup, but it can be frustrating if you come with the wrong initial expectations.

    Who should avoid permanent makeup?

    • Pregnant or nursing - Women who are pregnant or nursing should not get permanent makeup because of the possibility of infection and/or chemicals entering the bloodstream.
    • People with epilepsy, pacemakers, major heart problems, Lupus, organ transplants, Eczema, Dermatitis, Rosacea, Psoriasis, allergies to metal/color, Keloids, and Accutane.
    • You should get a doctors clearance for Chemotherapy, Diabetes, Thyroid, or Glaucoma.
    • You might want to reconsider doing permanent makeup if you are allergic to lidocaine or epinephrine, have very oily skin, are prone to cold sores, are prone to hyperpigmentation, or have sun damaged skin.
    • Blood thinners - We generally don't recommend doing permanent makeup if you are on blood thinners due to increased risks, such as excessive bleeding, increased bruising, and higher infection risks.  The pigment can also get pushed out more easily which lessens how long they last.
    • Shingles - If you have had Shingles, it is recommended to wait several months to make sure you are completely healed. Also, keep in mind that getting permanent makeup may reactivate the shingles.
    • Here is a good article on who should avoid permanent makeup with explanations.

    2. Take Before photos.
    3. Start the numbing process. (15 minutes.)
    4. While waiting on the numbing, our front desk staff will help you complete the paperwork, answer questions, and explain the aftercare.
    5. Consult with your tech about the technique, color, shape.

    7. Once you approve the pencil drawing, your technician will do the procedure.
    8. Check if you want any adjustments.
    9. Take After photos
    10. Receive your aftercare package. (Cleanser, Q Tips, and healing cream.)
    11. Do an quick exit interview.
    12. Set up your touch-up appointment if needed.
    13. Check out.


    Expect about 2 hours for 1 procedure.  2.5 hours for 2 procedures.

    10. Aftercare

    Healing Timeline:  Permanent makeup requires a 6-week healing process.  You will not be able to change your brows until the end of the healing :

    • Day 1. Brows are swollen and color looks warmer.
    • Day 2-5. Brows look obvious dark and reddish. 
    • Day 3-14 Exfoliation takes place. Brows may look light, ashy, uneven, or like the pigment didn't take.  Over the next few weeks, the brow color and shape will fill in and set. 
    • Day 42 Brows are now fully healed. Color and shape have returned.
    • 6-Week Touchup - Get a touchup to fine tune and finalize the your brows.


    No Guarantees:  Most people have great results from permanent makeup, but there are no guarantees.  We cannot predict how your skin will heal.  There is the possibility that your skin just rejects pigment quickly so permanent makeup isn't going to work for you.  You cannot know until you try.


    2-Step Process:  Many clients have the expectation that permanent makeup is a one time experience.  Although many clients have great results with just one procedure, you should not expect perfection after the first treatment.  Permanent makeup is less hassle than traditional cosmetics, but it does require maintenance and is at least a 2-step process and you should expect to get the 6-week touchup for correcting and fine tuning of your brows.

     


    Brow Care:  The better you care for your brows during the 6 week healing stage, the better they will heal.  Here are some tips for caring for your brows.

    • Washing and healing cream-  For the first couple weeks, wash your eyebrows twice a day. Use a mild cleanser on and around the procedure area. DO NOT use any cleansers containing anti-aging/anti acne agents (IE retinal, glycolic, lactic, or AHA). Dial soap or Cetaphil are good choices. Foam up a tiny amount of soap in your hands, then use the foam to gently cleanse your eyebrows. Rinse well. Gently blot dry with clean paper towel. Make sure moisture blotted off before applying your healing cream. Never put ointment on a tattoo. Do not let your brows dry out.  Also, apply a light coat of healing cream after washing. Although it is important to use the cream, using it excessively can discourage the skin of air and can result in pigment loss during the healing period; so, use, but use it sparingly, just enough to moisten the brows.  
    • Showering -  For the first few days, do not take steaming hot showers and keep bathroom doors opened as to not cause a steam effect.  Do not let the shower hit you directly in the face. At the very end of your shower, wash your hair and rinse away from your face.
    • Exfoliation: The brows will typically shed off during the first week leaving the under brows looking light, patchy, or like it didn't take. Do not panic.  This is normal for permanent makeup.  Once the outer skin peels off, the brows will start to fill back in over the next few weeks.  The color and shape will shift as the brows heal.  The final result will be set by the end of the 6th week.  If needed, touch-ups can only be done after 6 weeks. 


    Things to avoid -  Immediately after the procedure, your brows will be a little reddish and irritated.  Most likely you will experience a little itchiness.  This will typically last for 1-3 days.   It is part of the healing process.

    • Makeup - No topical make up on the healing procedure for a few days or until flaking has ended. Topical makeup may have bacteria and your new procedure needs adequate time to heal.
    • Brow hair removal: No tweezing or waxing the eyebrows for 10 full days .
    • Facials - No facials or peels for two full weeks. 
    • Lasers - Avoid laser treatments in the brows area in the future.
    • Pet Grooming/Dust - No pet grooming, gardening or anything that causes dust or dirt for a minimum of 72 hours. Waiting 7 full days is best.
    • Excessive sweating - Sweating is not good for the healing process.  We recommend not exercising for 7 days or any activity that would induce excessive sweat  or cause your face to heat up and turn red.  Salt from the sweat can lighten the brow.
    • Steaming showers - Do not take steaming hot showers and keep bathroom doors opened so as to not cause a steam effect.  Keep your face from being directly hit by the shower. At the very end of your shower, wash your hair and rinse away from your face.
    • Sun/Beach/Tanning Beds - Avoid the sun and tanning beds as much as possible for a couple weeks.  Too much sun can burn the skin and cause a darker color.
    • Swimming - Avoid swimming for the first couple weeks.  Saltwater and chemical in pools can affect the healing color. DO NOT expose your new procedure to chemicals, hot tubs, saunas, salt water, chlorinated pools, lakes, or ponds.



    Common Concerns:
    It’s completely normal to feel concerned after your first permanent makeup session – the initial result always looks bolder and darker than the final one. The good news is that almost every issue (color intensity, shape, or small uneven spots) can be corrected at your touch-up appointment. Almost all of  the clients love their results once the process is complete. Let it go through the healing process and if the shape bothers you after the first 2 weeks, a tiny bit of regular makeup is fine until we refine everything at your touch-up session. We’ve fixed thousands of these worries – yours will be too!  Here are some common concerns:


    • Dark brows  - Be prepared for the initial color intensity of your procedure to be significantly sharper, brighter, or darker than what is expected for the final outcome.  At the end of your healing process, your brows will be lighter and softer.
    • Irritation/Soreness - You will most likely experience irritation or soreness for a few days.  The brows are irritated and take a few days to settle back to normal. 
    • Peeling brows - During the first 3-14 days, expect the outer layer of your brows to peel/exfoliate, leaving a lighter and possibly patchy look.  Don't freak out.  This is normal.  Also, do not pick the brows off.  Let them fall off naturally.  Once the brows peel, the color will come back from under the skin and darken over the next 6 weeks.  After the first week, you may use a little makeup to make the brows look even.  Avoid makeup the first week so that bacteria doesn't enter the skin.
    • Light/patchy/gone - Once the outer layer of the brows peel, the under layer will likely look light, patchy, or like nothing was even done.  Don't worry.  The color typically  comes back and sets over the 6-week healing process. The first session results can also look light, patchy or like the pigment didn't take. This is normal.  The 6-week touch-up usually fixes these issue. 
    • Looks unnatural - Clients that get the combo are sometimes worried that the shading is too dark in the beginning.  Wait out the healing process because the shading will lighten over time.
    • Imperfect healing - While many brows heal perfectly after the initial procedure, many do not.  You should expect to get a 6-week touchup to fill in light spots and finalize your look.  
    • Shape and symmetry:  The initial look of your brows will not be the final look.  The shape and symmetry of the brows will change as the pigment comes up and sets from under the skin.  Also even the best artists can be a little off.  Don't worry if the initial look isn't perfect.  If at the end of the 6-week healing process, the brows still look a little off, the 6-week touchup is used to correct the shape,  symmetry and color. 
    • Out of healing cream - We give a weeks supply of healing cream which is typically enough.  If your brows are still dry and/or cracking, you can order more of the cream, After Inked, from Amazon or if you need it right away you can buy Cetaphil or Aquaphor at most stores.
    • Touch-up timeline - Plan on getting your 6-week touch-up at the end of the healing process which is 6 weeks after your initial procedure.  Touch-ups are not included in the price of the initial treatment.
    • Don't like them - If you don't like the way they look initially, wait out the 6-week healing process.  The color and shape you see in the beginning will change during the healing.  Also, don't worry because you can make adjustments at the 6-week touch-up. Most clients are very satisfied with their brows once they finish the process.  If after the process you still don't like them, which is rare, there are removal techniques, but they are often costly and involve many sessions. 


    Touch-ups - Permanent makeup is not a one-and-done experience.  You should expect to follow up the initial procedure with a 6-week touchup and then occasionally a refresh touchup.

    • 6-Week Touch-up - This is the 2nd part of a 2-step procedure.  While many clients are satisfied with their results after the initial procedure, you should expect to get a 6-week touchup to fine tune and finalize your look.   Some clients want a touchup immediately after the procedure, but they need to wait 6 weeks in order for the skin to heal and the color, shape, and pigment to set.   Doing a touchup before the 6 weeks of healing is finished can damage the skin.
    • Refresh Touch-ups -  Permanent makeup, or sometimes called semi-permanent makeup, fades slowly over time so expect to get a refresh touchup every couple years.  How often you get a refresh touchup varies from person-to-person depending on your skin type. 
    • Touch-up Pricing -  Touchups are not included in the original price, but touch-ups for returning clients cost less.   See the menu above for current touch-up pricing.

    Aftercare FAQ

    Soap is used to keep your brows clean to prevent infections that are cause by bacteria getting on the brows before the skin has a chance to seal.  After tattooing, your skin's protective layer is compromised since we are depositing pigment under the surface.   The skin needs a chance to heal.  Once you leave our sterile environment, you enter an environment that has an infinite number of possible sources of bacteria.  We recommending washing your brows at least twice a day ... or more if you feel like the cleanliness of your brows is compromised.  Try to minimize how much you touch your brows with your hands or other items.  


    Important: If you think you may be getting  an infection, contact us at 727-213-8811.  Note: sometimes itchiness can be caused by an allergic reaction to the healing cream.  Try stopping the healing cream temporarily to see it stops the itchiness.


    Healing cream prevents or combats infection and promotes healing. It contains ingredients which actively work against bacteria present on the skin or in contaminated wounds and which is therefore capable of preventing or controlling wound infection.   It also contains ingredients which accelerate the healing process, which as vitamins and minerals.  Be careful not to use too much so that oxygen can pass for healing.

    Don't worry.  It is a normal part of the healing process.  Your brows will usually lighten or exfoliate (peel off) during the first couple weeks.  They could look light, patchy, or as if nothing was done.  The color will typically come back over the next few weeks.


    Don't worry.  This is not unusual.  Everybody's skin heals differently.  Don't get discouraged.  Stick to the process.  Come in for the 6-week touchup so we can see how your brows healed and make adjustments.  That is why permanent makeup is at least a 2-step process.


    Everybody's skin heals differently.   It's impossible to know how your tattoo will heal.  Don't get discouraged because your tattoo isn't healing like others.


    Permanent makeup is slightly different than body tattooing.  It uses different pigments and is injected at a shallower depth.  It may heal lighter than your body tattoo healed.


    If the shape is a little off or you want to make some changes, it is best to wait for the 6-week touchup and then we can do the fine tuning.  We need to see the shape and color after it has healed in order to be more accurate with the adjustments.  Also, it isn't good for your skin to work on it again until the 6 weeks are over.  Of course, if you have concerns, you are always welcome to stop by the spa for us to take a look.


    Don't use makeup for at least a week, preferably two.  Makeup contains bacteria that may increase the chance of infection.  Wait until a few days after the brows are done exfoliating before adding makeup.


    Healing cream is used to improve the appearance of the tattoo, maintains a brand new look, stop scabs from forming, seal incisions to keep bacteria from spreading, provide nutrients and vitamins that assist the healing, and reduce itchiness and irritation.


    Start the process right away.  Wash with soap and water (Dab only. No scrubbing.) and use the healing cream twice a day for a week.  You need to keep it very clean for a week to precent bacteria and infection.


    The healing cream we give you should last a week.  Don't put too much on because you want the oxygen to get to the skin.  The portion we give you is usually enough for most clients, but if your skin is still dry or peeling, you should get more.  It is important not to let the tattoo get too dry.  You can stop by the spa to get more or get some Aquaphor or Cetaphil at your local pharmacy.


    We recommend not going to the beach for at least a couple weeks.  You need to keep the tattoo clean and out of the sun/saltwater for the first week or two.  Also avoid swimiming in pools for a couple weeks.  The chlorine affects the healing color.


    We recommend not working out for a couple weeks.  Excessive sweating is not good for the helaing processs.


    No becuase the brows need to properly heal before we do the touchup.  Doing a procedure before the 6 weeks can be hard on the skin.  Also the pigment hasn't had a chance to set to it's final color which makes it more difficult to make color adjustments at the touchup.


    Yes.  It isn't unusual to need to do color correction at the 6 week touchup.  Just stick to the process and you should be ok.


    Yes.  In fact, it is easy to widen the brow at the touchup.
