Beautiful Permanent Brows
by Hannah Shalom
How To Prepare For Your Appointment
1. Use of chemical exfoliates should stop at least one week prior to your service.
2. Arching, threading, waxing and sugaring of the brows should be done at least 5 days prior to your appointment.
Doing so is optional and not mandatory prior to your appointment.
3. Do not use aspirin, ibuprofen, and other nsaids (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and caffeine products: energy drinks, coffee, tea, soda, etc. 24 hours prior to the appointment. Use of these products can cause excessive bleeding preventing pigment retention and effecting the outcome of your service.
4. Please come to your appointment with a bare face.
Thank You!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does it hurt?
Most people most find it to be relatively painless while some people experience minor discomfort during the microshading process . Numbing cream is also used during appointments to help if a client is more sensitive. Client's describe the feeling as "annoying but bearable" and I often hear "oh, thats all?" once I start the procedure. Don't worry!
Q. What forms of payment do you accept?
When booking your appointment online you will have the option to pay with Debit/credit, Paypal or AfterPay. Your appointment balance can be paid in person with Cash, Debit/credit, Paypal, Zelle or Afterpay.
Q: What exactly is microshading?
Microshading, also known as Powder Brows and Ombre Brows, is a semi-permanent makeup procedure whereby shading is added along the eyebrow to enhance, reshape, or create a fuller looking appearance to the brows. The procedure entails the use of a cosmetic tattoo gun and needle, which is dipped into a pigment that has been matched to natural hair color and skin tone.
Q: What is the difference between Microshading and Microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent procedure using a tiny blade and a hand tool to create hair like strokes that mimic real hair. Microshading (also known as Powder Brows and Ombre Brows) is a less invasive semi permanent service done using a needle to create a more filled-in, makeup looking, ombre brow instead of strokes. Microshading lasts significantly longer than microblading and is becoming the more popular option of the two.
Q. Do you offer MicroBlading? / What are Combination Brows?
I do not offer full Microblading BUT I do offer Combination Brows. Combination brows are MicroShading + Nano strokes combined. Nano strokes are similarto MicroBlading strokes but it is done with the machine instead of a tiny blade as mentioned above.
Q: How long does the appointment take?
The first appointment takes about 2 hours to complete. Your 8-10 week touch up appointment will take about 1 hour to complete.
Q: How often will I need to return for a touch-up?
The process consists of two main appointments, the first appointment and the touch up appointment scheduled 8-10 weeks after. After the 8-10 week touch up I suggest scheduling yearly touch ups or "color boost" appointments.
Q: How long will my brows last?
Skin types, age and daily activity play a major role in the longevity of your semi-permanent brows application. Most eyebrows application will last 1-2 years, while others may last longer. Please note that since the pigment is not implanted as deep as a traditional tattoo, your pigment will fade gradually until it eventually fades away. For your brows application to remain sharp, I suggest scheduling a touch-up appointment yearly.
Q: Why do I have to wait 8-10 weeks to get my first touch-up?
The perfection session is done at 8-10 weeks to allow the skin optimal time to heal and reduce the chance of infection, scarring, and other wound related complications.
