Frequently Asked Questions

Having always worked in a sterile environment using proper PPE and disinfectants, we are now taking extra precaution as in cleaning frequently-touched items and spaces.  

If you are feeling ill or have been in contact with someone who has felt ill,  please call immediately to reschedule your appointment.  

 We offer consultations to determine if you are a good candidate, this can be done in person or through email.  The more important question is what would make someone an unideal candidate.  Always contact us prior to booking if:

- you have previous permanent makeup  

- there is a skin condition on or surrounding the area such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, rosacea or     dermatitis

- you have a scar through or in the brow

- you are prone to keloid scars

- you are taking or completed antibiotics within the last 14 days

- you are diabetic

- you have cancer

- you have a heart condition

- you have epilepsy or other seizure conditions

- you are taking or have taken oral or injectable steroids

 We CANNOT perform nano/powder brows if:

- you are pregnant

The pigments are not implanted as deep in the skin as a traditional tattoo.  It typically lasts 1-3 year as the pigment will naturally fade. The lifespan of your PMU depends on the skin type, clients lifestyle, sun exposure and age.  Each individual retains color differently, to maintain the brows looking fresh, a touch up is recommended every 12-24 months.  Please note, if left to fade, a slight shadow may always remain.

Nano is a technique creating "hair like" strokes.  Powder brow is a technique using a machine and needle cartridge for a "powdered" effect.

We can decide on this together.  Upon booking you will provide a picture of your brows and we can consult on what option is best for you.
