Yes, a touch-up is highly recommended.

After your initial brow session, your skin will go through a healing process. During this time, some areas may heal lighter or may not retain as much pigment, which is totally normal. That’s why we schedule a perfecting session (also called a touch-up) about 6 to 8 weeks after your first appointment.

This session allows us to:

• Even out any areas that may have faded more than others

• Adjust the shape, color, or intensity if needed

• Ensure your brows are fully healed and flawless

After your touch-up, results typically last 1 to 3 years, and future touch-ups are only needed to maintain the color and shape over time.

✒️ 1. Microblading

• Look: Individual hair-like strokes for a very natural, fluffy brow

• Tool: Manual handheld blade

• Best for: Normal to dry skin

• Not ideal for: Oily, sensitive, or mature skin (can blur or fade unevenly)

• Longevity: ~6-12 months

✅ Great if you want a natural, subtle look and have healthy, dry to normal skin

⚡ 2. Nano Strokes (Machine Hair Strokes)

• Look: Very fine, crisp hair strokes (like microblading but more precise)

• Tool: PMU machine with a single-needle configuration

• Best for: All skin types, including oily and mature

• Gentler on skin: Less trauma, better retention than microblading

• Longevity: ~2-4 years or longer

✅ Ideal if you want the natural look of microblading with better longevity and healing

🎨 3. Ombre Powder Brows

• Look: Soft, shaded powder effect—lighter at the front, darker at the tail (like a filled-in makeup look)

• Tool: PMU machine using a pixelated shading technique

• Best for: All skin types, especially oily or sensitive

• Soft heals: Heals with a smooth, airbrushed finish

• Longevity: ~2–3 years

✅ Perfect if you like the look of defined, fuller brows or wear makeup daily

🔄 4. Hybrid Brows (Microblading or Nano + Shading)

• Look: Hair strokes at the front + soft shading toward the tail or a blended more realistic effect

• Tool: Combination of manual blade or machine + PMU machine shading

• Best for: Clients who want the best of both worlds

• Longevity: ~up to 2-4 years

✅ Ideal if you want a natural front with more definition and density toward the arch and tail

✨ How to Choose the Right Brow Technique for You

The best technique depends on your skin type, lifestyle, desired look, and how natural or defined you want your brows to be. Here’s a quick breakdown to help guide your choice:

1. Skin Type Matters

• Oily or mature skin? 👉 Ombre powder brows or nano strokes are best—they’re gentler and heal better.

• Normal to dry skin? 👉 Microblading or nano strokes both work well.

2. Desired Look

• Soft & filled-in (like makeup)? 👉 Ombre powder brows

• Natural hair-like strokes? 👉 Nano brows or microblading

• The most realistic & long-lasting strokes? 👉 Nano brows

3. Lifestyle

• Active lifestyle or wear makeup daily? 👉 Ombre powder brows hold up better with sweat and time.

• Minimalist look or very natural aesthetic? 👉 Nano strokes or microblading

4. Longevity & Skin Sensitivity

• Nano and ombre techniques tend to last longer and fade more gracefully, especially for sensitive or oily skin.

• Microblading may need more frequent touch-ups and can blur faster on certain skin types.

💬 Still not sure?

No worries! At your consultation, I’ll assess your skin, chat about your goals, and recommend the best technique tailored just for you. Book a free consult by calling 720-461-1602

💬 Will It Hurt?

Most clients say the discomfort is very minimal or none at all—especially because I use a topical numbing cream before and during the procedure to keep you comfortable the whole time.

🧴 What to expect:

• You may feel a light scratching or pressure sensation

• Some clients even doze off during the process!

• Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but most are surprised by how tolerable and gentle the process is

If you’re nervous about pain, let me know—your comfort is my priority, and I can adjust everything to make sure you feel at ease the entire time.

💡 Nano Strokes vs. Microblading Strokes

Both nano and microblading create hair-like strokes to mimic natural brow hairs—but they differ in tools, technique, and skin impact.

✒️ Microblading:

• Tool: Manual hand tool with a tiny blade

• Technique: The artist creates small cuts in the skin and implants pigment into them

• Look: Realistic hair-like strokes

• Skin Impact: Slightly more invasive, can cause more trauma—especially to sensitive or oily skin

• Best for: Normal to dry skin types

• Fades Faster: Often fades or blurs more quickly over time lasting up to 6 months to a year

⚡ Nano Strokes:

• Tool: A digital machine with a single fine needle

• Technique: Uses tiny, controlled machine movements to implant pigment in the shape of hair strokes (no cutting)

• Look: Ultra-crisp, natural more realistic strokes with more control

• Skin Impact: Less trauma to the skin; gentler and more precise

• Best for: All skin types, including oily or mature skin

• Longer-Lasting: Strokes tend to hold their shape and color longer up to 2-4 yrs

✅ Quick Summary:

Microblading is best if your looking for something very soft and not so long lasting but comes with more cons depending on skin type/condition. Nano if your wanting something more realistic and longer lasting results.

Absolutely — yes! My goal is always to enhance your natural beauty, not overpower it.

Whether you choose nano strokes, ombré powder brows, or a combo, the shape and pigment are customized specifically for your face, skin tone, and style. I use precise techniques to create brows that mimic real hair strokes or a soft, powdery finish, depending on the look you want.

👁️‍🗨️ What makes them look natural:

• Tailored shape mapping to match your bone structure

• Careful color selection to blend seamlessly with your natural hair and skin tone

• Technique choice based on your skin type and how natural or defined you want your look

Most clients say friends and family can't even tell it's tattooed — they just notice how amazing your brows look!

The healing journey takes about 7–14 days, but full results are seen after 4–6 weeks once the pigment has fully settled.

🔄 What to Expect Day by Day:

Day 1–2:

✨ Brows will look bold, dark, and more defined — this is normal!
🚫 No touching or picking.

Day 3–5:

🩹 Scabbing or flaking may begin
🎨 Color may appear uneven or patchy during this stage — don’t worry, it's part of the process.

Day 6–10:

🌿 Flakes will naturally fall off and the color will look much lighter or faded — this is temporary!

Week 2–4:

💧 Color starts to resurface and even out as your skin regenerates
💗 You'll see a more natural, soft version of your brows.

Week 6+:

🎯 Your skin is fully healed and ready for your touch-up to perfect any spots that faded or need more definition.

🧴 Aftercare Tips:

• Keep brows clean and dry—no heavy sweating, makeup, or sun for 10 days

• Use only aftercare ointment I provide (if instructed)

• Avoid picking at scabs to prevent pigment loss or scarring

• Sleep on your back to avoid rubbing the area

✅ Healing is different for everyone, but trust the process! Your follow-up appointment ensures everything looks perfect once your skin is fully healed.

Yes — when done by a trained, certified, and licensed professional, permanent makeup is very safe.

At my clinic, I follow strict health and safety protocols to protect you every step of the way. That includes:

🧼 Hygiene & Safety Practices:

• All tools are single-use and disposable or completely sterilized

• I use high-quality, hypoallergenic pigments made for cosmetic tattooing

• The entire procedure is done in a clean, professional environment

• We go over your health history and any contraindications before your appointment

⚠️ Who should avoid PMU?

PMU is generally safe, but it’s not recommended if you're:

• Pregnant or breastfeeding

• Undergoing chemotherapy

• Have certain autoimmune or skin conditions (consult your doctor first)

No — it is not recommended.

Here’s why:

🔸 During Pregnancy:

• Your body is more sensitive, and you may experience increased pain or swelling

• There's a higher risk of infection or allergic reaction, which could affect both you and your baby

• Most professionals avoid PMU during pregnancy out of an abundance of caution and to protect your health and your baby’s

🔸 While Breastfeeding:

• Although the pigment itself stays mostly local, the body is still in a vulnerable, healing state

• If any infection or complication arises, you may need medications that aren’t safe while nursing

• There’s limited research on how topical numbing agents may affect breastmilk, so it’s best to wait

✅ When should I get PMU?

Once you are completely done breastfeeding, your hormones begin to stabilize again, making it the safest time to receive permanent makeup and get the best healed results

This part of the process is all about customization — no cookie-cutter brows here! I take your unique features and preferences into account to create brows that enhance your natural beauty and suit your lifestyle.

🔹 SHAPE – Customized to Your Face

I use a technique called brow mapping to design a shape that complements your:

• Bone structure

• Natural brow growth

• Facial symmetry

• Eye shape and placement

We’ll pre-draw the shape with a pencil first so you can see and approve it before anything permanent is done. We won’t move forward until you’re 100% happy with it!

🔹 COLOR – Based on Your Skin & Hair Tone

I choose pigment based on:

• Your natural brow hair color

• Your skin undertone (cool, warm, or neutral)

• Whether you want a soft, natural look or something more defined

Pigments are custom-blended if needed, and I always aim for a shade that will heal beautifully and naturally over time.

🤝 It’s a collaboration

You’ll be involved in every step! I’ll make professional recommendations, but we’ll decide together what looks and feels best for you.

Here’s what to expect when you book your permanent makeup (PMU) treatment:

1. Consultation (Optional or Same Day)

💬 We’ll discuss your goals, skin type, and ideal brow shape or color
📋 Go over your medical history to ensure you’re a good candidate
🎨 Custom-mapping your brows to compliment your face structure

2. Pre-Draw & Approval

✏️ I’ll pre-draw your brow shape using a brow pencil for your approval
✅ You’ll get to see and approve the shape before we start
🎨 We’ll also choose the perfect pigment color to match your skin and natural hair tone

3. Numbing

🧴 A topical numbing cream is applied and allowed to take effect (20–30 minutes)
💤 Most clients feel little to no pain during the process

4. Pigment Application

🎯 Using a sterile tool or machine, I’ll implant the pigment into the skin
🖌️ Depending on the technique (nano, ombré, or combo), the session can take 1-2 hours

5. Reveal + Aftercare Instructions

🎉 You’ll see your new brows right away! (They’ll look bolder the first few days — this is normal!)
📄 I’ll go over detailed aftercare instructions and give you healing guidelines and ointment if needed

6. Healing Process (7–14 Days)

🩹 Expect some mild flaking or fading
💧 Keep brows dry, clean, and follow all aftercare for best results

7. Perfecting Touch-Up (6–8 Weeks Later)

📅 This second session fine-tunes any faded spots, color adjustments, or shape tweaks
✔️ After this, you’re good to go for 1–3 years with proper care!

💬 Totally Understandable — and You’re Not Alone!

It’s super common to feel nervous before your appointment, especially if you’ve seen outdated or harsh brow tattoos in the past. But the good news is: modern permanent makeup is nothing like that.

🌿 Here’s Why You Don’t Have to Worry:

✅ Soft & Natural Techniques

Today’s techniques—like nano strokes and ombré powder brows—are designed to create soft, natural-looking results, not harsh, solid blocks of color.

✅ Customized for Your Face

We’ll map and pre-draw your brows first, so you can see and approve the shape before anything begins. You’re part of every decision.

✅ Color Selection Matters

I use custom-matched pigments that complement your natural tones—no harsh blacks or ink that turn blue over time. These are cosmetic pigments designed to fade softly, not look like body tattoos.

✅ They Heal Softer Than Day 1

Your brows will look bolder the first few days (this is normal), but they fade about 30–40% during healing into a much softer, more natural finish.

🌟 You're in good hands

My priority is to give you brows that enhance—not overpower—your features. You’ll walk out looking like the best version of yourself, not like you had your brows tattooed on.

Lip blushing is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that enhances the natural color, shape, and definition of your lips. It creates the illusion of fuller lips while correcting uneven tone and adding a youthful flush.

Results typically last 3-5 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you care for your lips post-treatment. A color boost is recommended every 12–18 months.

We apply a high-quality numbing agent before and during the treatment to keep you comfortable. Most clients report mild discomfort but find it very tolerable.

Your lip blushing session takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours, which includes consultation, color selection, mapping, numbing, and the actual procedure.

Healing takes about 7–10 days. Your lips will go through stages of tenderness, dryness, and light peeling. The final color settles in around 4-6 weeks after the procedure.

Yes! After your lips have fully healed, you can wear lipstick or gloss as usual—but most clients love the natural tint and find they don’t need it.

Lip blushing may not be suitable if you:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding 🤰

• Have active cold sores or certain skin conditions

• Take blood thinners or have healing issues
  Always consult with us beforehand to ensure you're a good candidate!

Yes. A perfecting session is typically needed 6–8 weeks after your initial treatment to refine the color and shape for optimal results.

Absolutely! We custom blend pigments to match your goals—whether you want a soft natural blush or a more defined pop of color.
