EYEBROWS

​

What pigments do you use?

We use Li Pigments, which are iron oxide pigments. They are considered as the safest semi-permanent pigment. As your body will naturally absorb it, the pigment will fade over time. 

​

Do you use a black pigment?

No, we do not use a straight black pigment on anyone. Since black is not a true color, is not recommended, as it will face into a blue color over time. 

​

Do you microblade? How is this different?

We do not offer microblading. Out technique creates the hair strokes using a digital machine. 

The vibrations in the machine allow for the pigment to be deposited deeper into the skin and will help to attain a better healed result.The pigment is considered semi-permanent which means it will still fade after 1 -2 years (depending on your skin type and care). The machine hair stroke method is less traumatic on the skin as we do not fully cut into the skin, rather we use the needle to create pricks in the skin. This ensues no scabbing and 80% color retention.

Skin type: This method will also work on all to most skin types. Normal to dry skin types will heal more crisp.

Please always talk to your technician if you have any questions or concerns about the procedure.

​

How long will the Nano Eyebrow Tattoo last?

The tattoo can last about 1-2 years. The factors that come into play are the clients skin type, age and daily routine. Annual Touch Ups are recommended to help maintain the tattoo.

​

How do you determine the shape of the brows?

We carefully measure and draw the outline of the brows by taking into  consideration the clients eye shape, facial structure and personal preference. No tattooing will be done until both parties come to an agreement.

​

Do you use the same needle? What is your sterilization/sanitation process?

- We only have single use needles that are individually wrapped sterilized packaging. Each needle is disposed after each client in a sharps container.

– Gloves and masks are worn at all times 

– All machine parts and surfaces that may come in contact with fluids are all wrapped with protective barrier film/cord wraps.

– All work stations/equipment that is not single use is thoroughly disinfected with Cavi wipes.

​

Will it hurt?

The pain is comparable to threading but numbing cream/gel is used to help ease the pain.

If you are still concerned about pain, you have two options: 

1. You are able to purchase Dr.Numb or Elma Topical Numbing Cream. Apply it to the eyebrow area generously. Do NOT rub into the skin. Wrap your eyebrows with a thin layer of saran wrap for 1 hour before your scheduled appointment. This method will ensure you feel completely numb by the time we start tattooing.

2. You are able to take Tylenol before your appointment. (NO Advil as this thins the blood)

​

Who is NOT recommended for cosmetic tattooing?

- Affected by Aids, HIV or Hepatitis.
– Pregnant or breast feeding.
– All clients must be 18 or older.
– Previously tattooed and the tattoo is still too dark.
– Must be off Accutane for 1 year.
– History of keloid scaring.

​

What is the after care?

- For the first 4 days, avoid all water contact on your new eyebrows.
- We provide a vitamin A & D ointment for you to take home and apply every couple hours for 7-10 days.
- Any redness or irritation will go down within 2 hours after your appointment.

-Typical healing time is about 2 weeks.
* Please be reminded the first 7 days is NOT your true results as the pigment has not yet peeled completely so they will look DARK and INTENSE.
Please AVOID while healing:
Tanning, Swimming, Saunas, Hot tubs, Gym or any activity that may cause cause you to excessively sweat.

What if I am allergic to the ink or needle?

A liability and waiver form will need to be signed if a patch test is not performed.

​
