Your appointment starts with a complimentary consultation — a shade match against your skin's undertone and existing brow hair — so healed color reads natural, not drawn-on.

What to Expect

One process, start to finish.

Permanent makeup is a process, not a single visit — here's the real timeline from your first appointment to fully healed color.

Free mini consult

We go over skin texture, your desired look, color match, and shape before we start.

Map & match

We shape-map to your bone structure and match pigment to your undertone before anything touches skin.

Numb & place

Topical anesthetic first, then hairstrokes or shading are placed slowly, checking symmetry throughout.

Heal (7–14 days)

Color looks bold at first, then flakes and softens. Some fading during healing is normal and expected.

Perfect (6–8 wks)

Your touch-up fills any light spots and finalizes shape and saturation once skin is fully settled.

Good to Know

Questions before you book.

How long does it last?

Most clients see 1–3 years of wear before color needs refreshing, depending on skin type, sun exposure, and skincare routine. Oilier skin tends to fade faster.

What's the difference between nano brows and microblading?

Microblading uses a handheld tool with tiny needles to hand-draw each hairstroke. Nano brows use a fine single-needle machine instead, which gives more consistent, precise strokes and tends to hold up better on oilier skin. The result looks similar when healed — the difference is mostly in the tool and technique.

Does it hurt?

A topical numbing agent is applied before and during the procedure. Most clients describe it as pressure and mild scratching rather than sharp pain.

Do you numb for lip blush?

I don't numb for the first lip blush round. For your second and third rounds, I do offer a secondary numbing option.

Who should avoid permanent makeup?

Pregnant or nursing clients, anyone on blood thinners, and those with active skin conditions in the treatment area should wait or check with their doctor first.

What's the aftercare like?

Keep the area dry and out of direct sun for about 10 days, apply the provided aftercare balm, and avoid picking at any flaking skin.
