FAQ's

How do I prepare for the day of my appointment?

  • If you have reference pictures, please bring them to your appointment. Also, please feel free to bring the pencil or powder you are currently using.
  • If you tint your brows, you will want to do so 72 hours before your appointment.
  • Please do NOT show up to your appointment with a caffeinated drink in your hand. It’s very important to avoid caffeine for at least 12 hours before your appointment. 
  • It’s crucial to read through the before and after care instructions before booking an appointment to ensure you’re prepared. 

 

Do I need a consultation before my appointment?

I do not offer “in person” consult appointments. If you have questions or concerns, you are welcome to text me. I am happy to look at pictures of your brows and discuss which permanent makeup service is best for you. 479-295-9232

If you are in need of correction work, or if you have had your brows tattooed by a different artist, you will need to in text me a picture of your brows before scheduling an appointment.

 

Are there certain factors that could make my permanent makeup fade faster than usual?

  • If you have oily skin, it can cause hair like strokes to blur and heal lighter and powdery.
  • If you smoke, you may notice a faster fade out.
  • If you are anemic or iron deficient, your body will absorb the iron based pigments more quickly.
  • Increased exposure to the sun will cause premature fading. You will want to use Color Guard sunscreen. Color Guard can be found on Amazon.
  • If you have a fast metabolism, your pigment will fade faster. 
  • Excessive bleeding during your procedure will greatly affect how your body retains pigment. While this is not entirely in our control, it is important that you follow before care instructions to help minimize bleeding. This includes avoiding blood thinning medications, alcohol, and caffeine 24 hours before your procedure.

 

Does Permanent Cosmetics hurt?

A topical 5% lidocaine is used to make you more comfortable during your appointment, but pain tolerance varies from client to client. Having the procedure during your menstrual cycle may increase your sensitivity.

 

How long does the procedure take?

Initial appointments take approximately 2 to 2.5 hours. This includes time for paperwork, numbing the area, design/mapping and the procedure. Follow-up sessions take approximately 1 hour.
