CHOOSING A TECHNIQUE:

When choosing a technique, You to be realistic about your skin type. Hair stroke technique alone is only suitable for dry, poreless skin types. Powder Technique is good for dry combo and oily skin types.

After selecting your technique upon booking, dont worry, there is a consultation before every service, and we will work together to choose what’s best for you.

DOES IT HURT:

There is very minimal pain. Clients usually say “threading hurts more.” There is also the use of numbing anesthetic.

TIMING:

There is a bit of mindfulness when scheduling your eyebrows.

They will go through a healing period of about 5-10 days.

“It’s totally ok to see your coworkers, and go out to dinner with your girlfriends, but I wouldn’t do it the same week as your wedding.”

HEALING:

There is ZERO swelling. Over the course of 10 Day’s you will go through the entire healing process.

They get a little darker day 2-3, and then scab off around 5-7.

Commitment to aftercare is important

WHY TOUCH UPS?

You will leave your first appointment with perfect brows. The healing process, aftercare and skin type are factors that come into play.

COLD SORE CONTROL

Lips should be properly prepared for treatment. Lips are very delicate. During the treatment the epidermis is affected, which may activate cold sores.

If you ever had any type of cold sore you will need a doctor Taking antiviral “Valtrex” 2 days before and 3 days after the treatment. This helps prevent your lips from developing herpes. This drug is only issued on prescription by a doctor.

*If you do not get cold sores I suggest purchasing L-Lysine for immune boosting for quick and healthy healing
