Your first appointment is called your “baseline appointment”- this is where we create a shape, pick a color, and start your journey to new fabulous full brows!

What to know AFTER your first appointment and following a touchup appt…
DAY 1:
Gently blot the area with a clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this every half-hour for the first day for the first few hours. Removing this fluid prevents hardening of any fluid and promotes better healing.
You will be instructed at your appointment if you will be washing in the morning or evening for your once daily wash routine and this is dependent on where your appointment falls within the day.
Days 2-10:
Step 1: Using the antibacterial soap that is provided for you in your aftercare bag, take the smallest amount (less is more) on your clean fingertip with a couple drops of water and create a sudsy mix between your two fingertips. Gently tap over each brow 1-2 times each. Rinse completely by the sink splashing water onto the face to rid it of soap OR take a WET Kleenex or paper towel and blot the eyebrow area to rid it of soap. DO NOT RUB. SCRUB. PICK. SCRATCH. DO NOT USE A WASHCLOTH and ALWAYS ENSURE YOUR HANDS ARE CLEAN*
Step 2: Pat dry carefully with a Kleenex or paper towel-completely dry brow area before applying ointment
Step 3: Apply a rice grain amount of the supplied ointment from your aftercare bag (Aquaphor) with a cotton swab or a clean fingertip and spread across the treated area. Be sure to not over-apply as this will suffocate your skin and delay the healing process. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin. Never put ointment on a wet or damp tattoo.
**Wash ONCE a day—Apply ointment TWICE a day**
Important Reminders…
No makeup or products on the brows for the first 2 weeks
Do not rub, pick, or scratch the treated area
Use a fresh pillowcase
Avoid long, hot showers and refrain from submerging your brows under the shower stream for 7-10 days AND dry your brows when exiting the shower
Let any scabbing or dry skin exfoliate naturally. Do not pick. Picking can cause scarring or loss of color.
No facials, Botox, chemical treatments, or Microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.
Avoid exercise/ heavy sweating for 7-10 days
Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for 4 weeks after the procedure
Wear a hat when outdoors for 2 weeks if in direct sunlight
Avoid submerging under in any pools, lakes, and hot tubs for 3-4 weeks
Your brows will take approximately 7-10 days to initially heal and is the most crucial part of healing. They will be dark the first week and may not appear very natural at first REMEMBER THIS IS A FRESH TATTOO, The second week they will get much lighter and softer, becoming very much more natural looking! Gradually the color begins to darken and by week three this is where you will see your TRUE color. SEE CHART->

At your 4-8 week touchup this called your “perfecting appointment”- here we can adjust color, perfect shape, and fill in any areas that may need more attention which is NORMAL *every new client receives a touchup appointment!
From the moment your brows are done to healed,,, the color will be about 20-30% lighter and softer all together.
A gentle sunscreen may be used on your brow area once they are healed to avoid sun exposure/fading to the area- I recommend the Aquaphor tube chap stick with SPF 30- quick, easy, accessible application!
Remember to schedule your 4-8 week touchup (Anything past 8 weeks will NOT be included in your initial price.)
