Question 1

How do I take care of my brows immediately after the procedure?

Accepted Answer

• Keep brows dry for the first 24hrs. If you see any clear lymph fluid on your brows in the first 24 hrs, dab dry. This is normal.
 • After 24 hours apply Aquaphor 3x/day (AM/PM/before shower) with a disposable Q-tip for 7-10 days or until scabs have all fallen off. 
    • Just a THIN layer to keep it moist, do not over saturate as your skin needs oxygen to heal.
    • Do not be alarmed if you see pigment come off on the Q-tip, this is normal. 
 • Do not put anything directly on the brows except the ointment until it finishes flaking (usually 7-10 days)
 • After 24hrs you can gently wash your face with unscented soap and water whenever you wash your face to keep it free from infection, pat dry immediately.
 • Avoid sweating or exercising for the first 3-5 days 
 • Avoid swimming, saunas, Jacuzzis, tanning for 14 days 
 • Do not rub, scratch, or pick at your brows.
 • If you are planning a chemical peel, MRI, lasers, or other medical procedures inform them that you have had an iron oxide cosmetic tattoo.
 • You must wait 1 year after any tattoo to give blood.
 • If any signs of infection occur call your physician (and please notify us).

Question 2

How does the healing process look like?

Accepted Answer

Day 1-3: Brow will darken as it oxidizes and they might feel tender and look warmer. Any redness will subside within a few hours.
 
Day 4-5: Brows will feel itchy and start to flake and possibly look patchy. Areas that have flaked off will look lighter (but colour will resurface a bit in the next few weeks).
 
Day 6-10: Continues scabbing/flaking, brows might look 10% thinner, Colour can look uneven.
 
Touch-up day: We perfect your brows and can go darker and possibly fuller as per your preference.

Question 3

How do I maintain my brows?

Accepted Answer

• Apply sunscreen daily (Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50+ is a clear formula that doesn’t leave a white layer. It can be found at yesstyle.com)
 • Avoid exfoliating or using any acids on your brow area as this will cause it to fade quicker
 • Pluck around the tattoo and trim off excess brow hair that falls outside of the brow tattoo

Question 4

When should I get a touch up?

• Once you feel the need to apply brow makeup, it is a good indication that you need a touch-up. 
 • Clients typically touch-up once a year or once every 2 years depending on their lifestyle, skin type, and aftercare.

Question 5

What happens at the appointment?

Accepted Answer

During the appointment we go through thorough consultation to talk about what you are hoping to achieve in terms of shape and colour. Once we have discussed what you are looking for, most of the appointment is spent brow mapping so that both of us are happy with the shape and symmetry. Once that is decided we move onto colour and then begin tattooing the shape on you.

Question 6

Does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the least painful and 10 being the most, our clients experience a pain level of 2-3.
Please note: everyone’s pain tolerance varies.
 
It is recommended not to drink caffeine on the day of your appointment or book your appoinment during your mentral cycle as that increases your sensitivity.
 
As well, we use numbing gel during your appointment to help manage any discomfort

Question 7

Do I get to choose the shape and colour?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we map according to your natural hair flow, brow shape, as well as your personal preference. We also swatch the colour choice before we start the application so you have full autonomy over your preferred shape and colour before we proceed with the application of your brow tattoo.

Question 8

How do you choose a shape for me?

Accepted Answer

What we look for when choosing the perfect shape suitable for your face is your natural hair flow, your personal preference, and your bone structure. With these attributes we will be able to find your shape in no time. If you are indecisive, you can confidently trust our professional opinion having seen and done hundreds of clients. You can also go on our Instagram and look for some photos that you like and show us at the appointment

Question 9

What is the difference between Microblading and Ombré brows?

Accepted Answer

Microblading is a manual tattooing technique that creates hair like strokes with a very thin and small blade that consists of multiple small needles. This technique best mimics natural brow hairs. It is best for dry, combination skin, or freckled skin and can last around 12-18 months.
Ombré Powder Brows uses a tattooing machine with one single needle that goes up and down and implants pigments into your skin. This technique creates a soft powdery fill. It can last around 1-3 years.
