Must Read BEFORE Contacting

 

  • Come to your appointment with your eyebrows penciled in as you like them (optional). I will take into consideration what you may desire but will also give my input and opinion. We will work together to reach the desired shape.

  • No two sides of the face are totally symmetrical. Every effort is made to make your eyebrows as symmetrical to your facial features as possible.

  • If you get your eyebrows waxed or threaded, please have this done 72 hours prior to your appointment. Please wait at least FOUR weeks after your procedure before having your eyebrows waxed or threaded.

  • It is highly suggested that you have no SUN or TANNING BED exposure for 30 days PRIOR to or AFTER your procedure. If you show up for your appointment with a new tan or a sunburn, you will need to reschedule and will forfeit your deposit. As your skin exfoliates from sunburn, it will take the pigment with it. Also, pigment will heal darker in skin that is tanned.

  • No sweating the day of your procedure or for the duration of your healing process. This could be 10 to 14 days following each procedure. Sweat contains salt, which will prematurely fade the pigment in the skin during your healing process. You would need to consider this if you lead a very active lifestyle.

  • Do not take anything that will thin your blood such as aspirin, niacin, Vitamin E, Fish oil supplements or Ibuprofen unless medically necessary 72 hours prior to procedure. Tylenol is acceptable.

  • If you have been on the prescription ACCUTANE, you must be off of it for ONE YEAR prior to your procedure. No exceptions!

  • No alcohol or caffeine the night before and on the day of your procedure.

  • Having the procedure during your menstrual cycle may make you more sensitive to discomfort during your procedure.

  • Swimming in Salt water or Chlorinated water may contribute to premature fading or change of pigment color. It is a good idea to always put a thin layer of Aquaphor over the area when swimming AFTER healed.

  • Only touch the area with very clean hands and always use a clean cotton swab to apply your aftercare product. This is a must to avoid infection.

  • DO NOT RUB, PICK OR SCRATCH THE AREA FOR ANY REASON!

  • Your eyebrows will appear BOLDER immediately after the procedure. This applies in every procedure. Hair strokes appear crisp and bold until the top layer of pigment begins to exfoliate off around day four.

  • It is common for some areas to fade more than others after the first procedure. This will be addressed at your touch up appointment.

  • Your follow-up procedure should be performed after six weeks. Most every client will need the 6 week follow-up. Please make sure you get two appointments when booking. Your first procedure and your follow-up six weeks later.

  • If you have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, be aware that this may affect your sensitivity tolerance to the procedure.

  • If you are a smoker, your pigment will fade faster and the topical anesthetics used during the treatment will not last as long.

  • If you arrive for your procedure with any abrasion, blemish, skin irritation, bruising, scabbing, skin rash or mole in the area that is to be tattooed, I will not do the procedure. No exceptions. You will lose your deposit and require another deposit to re-book another appointment.

  • This procedure will NOT be performed if you are pregnant or nursing.

  • If you bleach your eyebrows after your eyebrow procedure, you will risk bleaching the pigment in your skin. Bleaching or tinting the eyebrow hairs with tints containing peroxide will affect your tattoo and is not recommended.

  • If you have extremely oily skin, the hair stroke eyebrow technique will NOT work well for you. The constant production of oil will cause the hair strokes to heal with a diffused, softer look. Your end result will look more powdered than you would expect.

  • The use of prescription Retin A, Retinols, Glycolic acids (or any type of acids meant to resurface your skin), lightening products such as Hydroquinone, Chemical Peels or Photo Facials (IPL’S) will all contribute to premature fading of your pigment.

  • Your Hair Stroke permanent makeup will eventually look more powdered. This happens with all procedures. Skin ages and will change the look of all permanent makeup. To keep your hair strokes looking good, a color boost appointment will be needed every 1 to 2 years. Everyone will be a little different.

  • The legal age for getting Tattoos in the State of California is 18 but I will not work on anyone under the age of 21.

  • If you have an existing Eyebrow Tattoo performed by another permanent makeup artist, I will not consider you as a client unless it is approximately 50% faded from your last procedure. I would need to see your eyebrows in person or in very clear photos to determine this.

  • Because the purpose of this technique is meant to give you a natural look, it will not look good over an older, darker tattoo. It would be best to have that old tattoo removed before attempting Hair Strokes. Two techniques for removal of old pigment would be Laser Tattoo Removal or Saline removal.

  • I do NOT do online booking. I like to have email or text discussions with every new client and personally book all my clients myself.
