NANO HYBRID VS OMBRE/POWDER BROWS

Oily skin types are better suited for ombre' or powder brows, as the oil will blur hair strokes over time. Dry, healthy, and clear skin is generally ideal for hair strokes. Taking ACCUTANE, which alters the skin and makes it thin, dry, and sensitive. For those reasons, you will need to wait one year after your treatment is completed. Skin with active acne, scars in the eyebrow area, rosacea, and previous work/tattoos (on eyebrows or lips) will need a consult first, to determine if you are a candidate. If you are pregnant or nursing, you will need to wait until baby has arrived, or you are done nursing. The numbing creams contain chemicals that has unknown effects to the baby. 

Chemotherapy and radiation patients have to be off of both treatments before having the procedure done. ALOPECIA clients are welcome to come! 

Every appointment will start with a short consultation & your consent forms. We will go over your paperwork and discuss your permanent make-up goals, making sure we are both on the same page. Then I will spend 30-40 minutes mapping & shaping your eyebrows until I have your approval to move forward. Once we have the shape you love & you are relaxed, we will then start the procedure. All together the appointment can last for 2-3.5 hours. The touch up 4-6 weeks later should not take more than an hour.

You would be surprised if I told you, most clients fall asleep! Two different topical anesthetics will be applied before and during your procedure. Giving continual comfort throughout your appointment. This will not feel like a traditional tattoo. With permanent make-up, I am only implanting the pigment 0.1 to 0.2 millimeters into the skin. A traditional tattoo will implant pigment about 1-2 millimeters, entering the topmost layer of the dermis. From 0-10, most clients rate the pain level at 2-4. Clients have also described the feeling of tweezing. After the procedure you may feel tender in the area, a tightness to the area, or feel a sunburned feeling. 

Permanent Makeup is considered "semi-permanent". That term comes into play because if you were to stop getting your eyebrows done, over the years the eyebrows will fade. However, the existing work will fade down to a "blotch" or stain on the skin, not ever fully leaving. Because the work does fade, your annual touch ups are needed to keep the brows looking polished, vibrant, and crisp. Factors such as the sun, chemical peels, pool/ocean will play a role in the fading process. 1-2 years, is the general time clients start to need their annual touch ups. Oily skin types will need more frequent touch ups as well. 

Microblading is an older technique. This industry is constantly evolving to give clients the best desirable results possible. A microblade is a manual tool with a series of needles in a variety of blade shapes and diameters. This tool cuts into the skin, creating a paper-cut like split into the skin. Creating rows of tiny cuts (into hair stokes). This can cause scarring, pigment blurring, & undesired results. I do not offer microblading for these reasons. I can achieve hair strokes with the evolutionary & modern NANO technique. 

 NANO strokes are done using a small machine, with one single needle. As a result of the needle's diminutive size, minimal trauma is inflicted upon the skin. The result is an airy, powdery appearance to the strokes. Creating beautiful natural hair strokes without the trauma.
