Q: Does the procedure hurt?

A: A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure, and a secondary anaesthetic is used throughout the treatment to ensure maximum comfort.

For sensitive clients, it is possible to arrive 15 minutes prior to the appointment so that the initial anaesthetic can be applied for a longer period. This helps to ensure the most comfortable experience possible.

Q: Is permanent makeup safe?

A: Yes. Permanent makeup is very safe when performed by a trained professional using sterile equipment and high-quality pigments. Strict hygiene protocols are followed throughout the procedure to ensure client safety and achieve the best possible results.

Q: How long does the appointment take?

A: Most procedures take between one and two hours, including the consultation, design and mapping process, numbing application, and the treatment itself. The exact duration may vary depending on the procedure and individual client requirements.

Q: How long does permanent makeup last?

A: Permanent makeup is permanent; however, it will gradually fade over time. To keep your results looking fresh and vibrant, a colour refresh is typically recommended every 2-5 years, depending on factors such as skin type and sun exposure.

Q: What is the difference between the various brow procedures?

A: All brow procedures are forms of cosmetic eyebrow tattooing, but they differ in the tools used, the technique, the final appearance, and their longevity.

Microblading

Microblading is a semi-permanent technique performed with a handheld tool. Fine, hair-like strokes are manually created to mimic natural eyebrow hairs, resulting in a very natural look.

Nano Brows

Nano brows are created using a machine with an ultra-fine needle rather than a blade. This technique produces realistic hair-like strokes that look very similar to microblading but with less trauma to the skin, improved healing, and better longevity.

Powder Brows

Powder brows are created using a machine to implant tiny pixels of pigment, creating a soft, shaded effect. The result resembles a softly filled-in makeup look and can be customised from very natural to more defined.

Ombré Brows

Ombré brows are similar to powder brows but are ideal for someone wanting a more defined look. The front of the brow has soft shading, which gradually becomes darker and more defined through the arch and towards the tail of the brow.

Combination Brows

Combination brows blend nano hair strokes with powder shading. This technique combines the natural appearance of hair strokes with the added fullness and definition of soft shading, creating a balanced and versatile result.

Q: What if I'm unsure whether to have a procedure or not?

A: If you’re unsure, we recommend booking a free consultation with your technician.

This gives you the opportunity to meet her in person, discuss any questions or concerns you may have, and learn more about the different procedures available.

During the consultation, all techniques and options will be explained in detail, helping you make an informed decision with confidence and without any pressure to proceed.

Q: Which is the best brow treatment for me?

A: Your technician will help you choose the best option based on your skin type, lifestyle, existing brow hair, and the look you would like to achieve. This is discussed during your consultation while the anaesthetic is taking effect, ensuring that the chosen technique is tailored to your individual needs and desired results.

Q: Can I improve or rectify old permanent makeup that I’m not happy with?

A: Shape, colour, darkness, and technique can often be improved or corrected before a new permanent makeup application. Corrective pigments and techniques can be used to lighten, soften, neutralise, correct, or remove unwanted results. In some cases, laser removal may be recommended before proceeding with a new permanent makeup application to achieve the best possible outcome.

Q: Why is a touch-up session necessary?

A: A touch-up session is performed approximately 4-6 weeks after the initial procedure. During healing, each person’s skin retains pigment differently, and some areas may heal lighter or more unevenly than others.

The touch-up procedure allows your artist to:

Correct any unevenness in colour.
Intensify or adi ist the colour.
Thicken or slightly modify the shape if required.

The touch-up is an important part of the process, used to refine and perfect the result, ensuring optimal colour, shape, and longevity.
