The second set of photographs is a microblading session. In these photos you can see the definition of the hairs making for a more natural look.

In order for your new brows to heal properly (and look their best) these Pre & Post Care Instructions found below are of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE! Pre-Care instructions are designed to limit bleeding and skin sensitivities during the service. Excessive bleeding during the procedure will dilute the pigment color and lead to poor results.
EYEBROWS PRE-CARE
EYEBROWS POST-CARE
* Gently wash eyebrows using a fragrance-free gel cleanser (such as Cetaphil) and water. Do not rub or scrub! Hands must be freshly clean. Avoid use of abrasive washcloths or sponges.
* Allow eyebrows to completely dry before applying ointment (pat dry with paper towel or air dry).
* Once fully dry, apply a thin layer of Aquaphor with clean fingertips (rice size amount on each brow).
Disclaimer: We hold the right to deny service to clients who have the following conditions.

After you've healed
Attention Please: We strongly advise prospective new clients to book their appointments at least 3-4 months in advance of Vacations, Weddings, and Special Occasions. This allows adequate time for healing of both your Initial Appointment as well as a Touch-Up Enhancement Session 8-12 Weeks prior. To have perfect brows it is a multi-step process. Dream brows cannot be achieved in just one session. Some clients need more than two sessions to achieve their desire density and shape.

EYEBROWS PRE-CARE

- Discontinue Retin-A, Chemical and Laser Peels, Microdermabrasions, Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), and any chemical exfoliant or "brightening" skincare at least 6 weeks prior (Once your brows have healed, you must avoid use of these products on forehead area procedure to prevent premature fading).
- Botox and filler on the forehead, temple, and eye area should be avoided 2 months prior to procedure for those who do not regularly receive injectables.
- No brow waxing, tinting, or threading one week prior (the more natural hair growth you have, the better!

EYEBROWS POST-CARE
* Gently wash eyebrows using a fragrance-free gel cleanser (such as Cetaphil) and water. Do not rub or scrub! Hands must be freshly clean. Avoid use of abrasive washcloths or sponges.
* Allow eyebrows to completely dry before applying ointment (pat dry with paper towel or air dry).
* Once fully dry, apply a thin layer of Aquaphor with clean fingertips (rice size amount on each brow).
- Repeat above steps 2-3 times per day for 7-10 days after service.
- DO NOT rub, pick or scratch the treated area. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate off. Picking can cause scarring and pigment loss!
- Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for a minimum of 4 weeks after your procedure. Direct sunlight can cause the pigment to change color while it is healing and can also cause hyper pigmentation and scarring.

- Avoid sweating on your face for 7-10 days. Sweating through or on the brows will expel pigment from the dermis producing poor results.

- Keep your bangs and hair pulled back from your face for the first 7-10 days.
- NO makeup or skincare products to be used on the treated area for 7-10 days.

- Avoid Retin-A, Chemical Peels, Laser Treatments, Microdermabrasions, and/or anything to treat hyperpigmentation around the brow area once healed to prevent fading of your brow tattoo.
