Q2 - Which brow technique is best for me?
The best technique depends on your skin type, desired look, and current brow condition. A consultation will help determine the most suitable option for you.
Q3 - How long do powder, combo, and nano brows last?
Results typically last 1–3 years depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Touch-ups are recommended to maintain color and shape.
Q4 - Is the procedure painful?
A topical numbing cream is used to minimize discomfort. Most clients report only mild sensitivity during the procedure.
Q5 - Do I need a touch-up appointment?
Yes. A touch-up is typically recommended 6–8 weeks after your initial appointment to perfect the shape and color.
Q6 - How long is the healing process?
Initial healing takes about 7–10 days, with full healing and color settling over 4–6 weeks.
Pre-Care Instructions For Eyebrow Services

​- Note: If you do frequent peels, the brows will fade quicker due to Retinol/Retin-A's. Also other anti-aging creams or serums containing acids will fade your permanent makeup prematurely even after it is healed.
