Frequently Asked Questions
HOW LONG WILL MY RESULTS LAST? Semi-permanent makeup is a 2-STEP PROCESS. Your initial session, then a 6-8 week touch up session. After attending both sessions, your results can last between 2-3 years. Results vary depending on your skin type, lifestyle and aftercare. Brows are estimated to fade 20-40% lighter after vour initial session, so a touch-up session is necessary. DO NOT expect good results and longevity if you only attend one session! Any further touch ups are also available for color boosting.
DOES IT HURT? Pain is minimal to none. Based on the feedback from my clients, 9/10 experience no pain. Topical anesthetic numbing is used before, during and after the procedure. Redness is normal after your procedure and will subside with 24-48 hours.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING A BROW PROCEDURE? Before starting your eyebrow procedure, I will create a PRE-DRAWING. During the pre-drawing I will take measurements and analyze the different points of your face in order to create the perfect eyebrow shape, unique to you. I will draw and shape your brows using a basic eyebrow pencil. The pre-draw serves as my template and will give you an idea of the shape we are achieving. The pre-drawing must be approved by you in order to proceed with the tattooing.
HOW LONG IS THE PROCEDURE? On average, eyebrow procedures last 2.5-3hours. This includes the consultation, mapping, pre-drawing, numbing and tattooing.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER MY PROCEDURE? After your procedure your brows will go through the healing stage. On average, brows will undergo healing for a period of 10-14 days. This includes initial darkness, minimal scabbing and peeling. Within these days you must follow proper aftercare instructions given by your artist in order to avoid infection and to achieve the best results. Brows are estimated to fade anywhere from 20-40% after your initial session. At 6-10 weeks AFTER your initial session, you are ready to schedule your touch up session to correct any unevenness and color loss from your first session.

In order to achieve the best results, it is best to follow the pre and post care instructions.
Prior to your procedure, clients are advised of the following:
• Do not pick/tweeze/wax/perform electrolysis one week before procedure.
• Do not tan two weeks prior or have sunburned face.
• Do not have any type of facial/peel 2 weeks prior to treatment.
• Discontinue Vitamin A/Retinol products one month prior to treatment.
• Do not work out the day of the procedure.
• Do not have botox 3 weeks prior.
• Do not take Fish Oil or Vitamin E one week prior (natural blood thinners).
• Do not tint your eyebrows 3 days before the procedure.
In order to avoid excessive bleeding and poor colour deposit:
• Do not drink alcohol 24 – 48 hours before your tattoo
• Do not consume coffee before your procedure
• Avoid aspirin/ibuprofen and any vitamins that may thin your blood for 72
hours.
• Feel free to come in with their brow makeup on so our technician can see
your every day look you prefer. Reference pictures of shapes and colours of brows are always welcomed. We will then work together to create the perfect brows!
**I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DECLINE SERVICES IF YOU HAVE FAILED TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
After your procedure, clients MUST follow these instructions:
• You may shower or bathe normally, but avoid getting any soaps, shampoos or other cleansers on the treated area for the first five days as they can be detrimental to the bonding process that must take place for the pigment to stabilize in the dermis.
• DO NOT pick or scratch at the dry skin/flakiness; let the skin fall off naturally. Picking can cause scarring and premature loss of pigment.
IMPORTANT: Once the flakes have fallen off, a shiny layer of healing skin will completely cover the hair strokes. It may appear as though the tattooed area has completely disappeared. Within 1-2 weeks, the hair strokes will slowly reappear at a lighter shade as your skin regenerates.
• DO NOT apply make-up to the tattooed area for the first 2 weeks. Cosmetics of any kind may interfere with the healing and color of your tattoo.
• DO NOT use Vaseline, Neosporin or other petroleum based products while healing.
• DO NOT bleach, tint or dye the tattooed area for one month following the procedure.
• DO NOT apply any anti-acne products (e.g. Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid, Proactive, etc.) or lightening creams (skin bleaching creams) such as hydroquinone to the treated area while healing.
• No anti-aging products or facial products containing Alpha Hydroxyls (AHAs), Retin-A, Lactic or Glycolic Acids
• Do not thread, wax, or use hair removal products on the treated area while healing.
• NO exercising and/or sweating for a few days prior to getting tattooed and for one week after.
• NO swimming pools, jacuzzis or other bodies of water for two weeks.
• Do not soak your face underwater in a bathtub or allow the shower to
spray directly in your face for two weeks.
There are no implied or written guarantees if you do not take good care of your tattoo.
BROW LAMINATION + STAIN HYBRID
Two services in one : First we laminate the brow followed by staining the brow with the color of your choice.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Brow Lamination?
Lamination is an eyebrow styling treatment that achieves lifted and fuller looking brows with a sleek finish. It uses a three step process that includes perming, fixing and nourishing the brows.
How does the formula work?
In Step 1, the perming solution breaks down the shape of the brow hairs to reform them into the desired angle. In step 2, the hairs get fixated into their new shape. In step 3, the healthy keratin formula nourishes and re-moisturizes the brows.
How long do lamination results last?
Brow lamination results can last anywhere from 6 weeks to 8 weeks. It’s important to follow a daily maintenance regime to ensure that the brows stay nourished and well-kept.
Is lamination safe for pregnant and breasfeeding woman?
As there are chemicals involved in a brow lamination treatment, we advise you to consult with your doctor for any potential side effects. We use Brow Code products and it advises against lamination for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
What is Stain Hybrid Dye?
Stain is a Hybrid Dye professional brow color consisting of half henna and half brow tint. Hybrid Dye offers the power and intensity of henna with the ease of a tint.
How long does hybrid dye last?
We use Brow Code Products If you follow the correct aftercare, Brow Code Hybrid Dye products leaves a stain on the skin for up to 10 days and on the brow hairs for up to 6 weeks.
What is the before and aftercare for Stain Hybrid Dye?
Important Note: The Hybrid Dye stain can feel darker on the first day, however, please note this is an important step of the process as the stain continues to oxidize on the skin and settle into its finished shade. The stain will start to fade gradually as soon as the brows are wet.
- Avoid using makeup and facial cleansers around the brow area for the following 24 hours.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, the use of sunbeds, saunas, steam rooms, and swimming pools for 24 hours.
- Avoid exfoliating and using anti-aging products around the brow area for at least two to three days prior to and post-treatment.
- Avoid using any self-tanning products on the face for around two to three days on either side of the treatment.
- Avoid the temptation to over-touch the brow area after treatment. Touch with fingers can lead to oils entering open pores and clogging them.
Does Stain Hybrid Dye last longer than Henna?
Stain Hybrid Dye and Henna both last up to 10 days on the skin, however, Stain lasts up to 6 weeks on the hairs and Henna lasts up to 4 weeks on the hairs.
