Things to keep in mind before for your appointment:
Please be prepared that a New Set can take up to 4 hours which includes a consultation, eyebrow shaping and tattooing.
We provide numbing throughout the appointment in order for our clients to feel comfortable during the procedure.
If you are very nervous about pain, you may purchase Emla Topical Numbing Cream at your local pharmacy.
Apply the Emla cream generously on to the eyebrow area and let the cream sit on top of the skin. Do not rub the cream into the skin.
Wrap your eyebrows with a thin layer of saran wrap for 30mins before your scheduled appointment. The wrap will create heat to activate the numbing cream.
Eat a snack before your appointment
You will not be able to exercise or get your brows wet for one week. It is recommended to come with washed hair and schedule any gym classes before your appointment.
Your brows will look dark and intense the first couple of days. Schedule any important meetings after 3 days.
Consult with your technician about the shape and color you desire and bring photos as references
Be prepared to have a very honest consultation about your skin type, skin conditions, and any previous permanent makeup that you have had.
