Most people are great candidates for permanent makeup, especially if you're looking to save time on your beauty routine and enhance your natural features. However, there are some important factors to consider.

You may be a good candidate if:

• You’re in overall good health.

• You’re not pregnant or nursing.

• You don’t have any active skin conditions (like eczema or psoriasis) in the treatment area.

• You don’t have any major medical conditions that affect healing (such as uncontrolled diabetes or bleeding disorders).

• You’re not currently undergoing chemotherapy or taking blood-thinning medications.

• You have realistic expectations and understand that results vary depending on skin type and lifestyle.

Results typically last 1 to 3 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Oily skin types may experience fading sooner. Most people get a touch-up after 12–18 months to maintain the color!

We used numbing agents to keep you as comfortable. Many clients fall asleep during the procedure!

• Days 1–7: Brows may appear darker and bolder.

• Days 7–14: Flaking or peeling may occur.

• Days 14-28: Color softens and settles.

• Full healing takes about 4 weeks, after which a touch-up is often scheduled.

After your initial session, it’s recommended you come back for a 6-12 week touch-up. After that, touch-ups are only necessary every 1-2 years!

Short answer: yes, I can work over previous permanent makeup, but I’m very selective about it. If your previous work is light and has faded enough, and the shape is not too thick or saturated, there’s a good chance I can work with it.

However, if the previous pigment is too dark, dense, or heavily shaped, I’ll likely recommend laser removal or lightening first. This ensures your new brows will heal beautifully and not end up looking too harsh or unnatural. Every case is different, so sending over some clear photos is the best way to determine if you're a candidate for a cover-up or correction.

When it comes to shaping, absolutely! You're very involved in the process. I walk you through each step and explain my reasoning as we go. My goal is to enhance your natural brow shape in a way that looks soft, balanced, and not overly "tattooed." I never begin the tattooing process until you’ve approved the shape and are completely happy with how it looks. We work together to create a shape that complements your features and feels like you.

As for color, I typically select the shade that best matches your natural brow hair, skin tone, eye color, and overall complexion. With my experience working on many different skin types, I know how pigments heal and how to choose tones that will age beautifully over time. For this reason, I prefer to guide the color selection but I always make sure you're comfortable with the direction we're going in.
