COMMON QUESTIONS WE DISCUSS DURING YOUR CONSULTATION

Does it hurt?

Although not painless, clients feedback is that it is much more tolerable than what they expected. We do use numbing agents throughout the procedure.

Will my brows look 100% perfect?

No. And to expect perfect eyebrows is unrealistic. Permanent makeup is a form of art and the best way to ensure that you will be satisfied is to find an artist with a ‘signature style’ that you can relate to. My style of PMU is to create a design that brings balance and is in harmony with your natural features. But our faces, bones, and muscle structure is not 100% symmetrical, therefore it is unrealistic to expect 100% perfection.

How is the shape and color chosen?

During the consultation we go over your preferred style, and goals. Feel free to show me examples of what you do and don't like. I then map the brows based on your features and goals, I then show you, and make adjustments per your request. Color is selected based on your skin value, undertone and brow hair color.

Does it look like real hair?

Nano style creates the illusion of hair. In order for it to look like hair there must be spaces in between each stroke. When you look up close you can tell it's a tattoo and you must see spaces in between. When looking at it from a normal distance it creates the illusion of hair. It is important to remember that it is a tattoo and once it heals there is a thin layer of skin over every stroke. The tattoo will always appear sharp and bright immediately after the procedure, but will soften and appear lighter once the skin heals over it.

Will you shave my eyebrows or remove all my hair?

Absolutely not! The purpose is to enhance your natural eyebrows. We only clean out the stray hairs that are outside of your desired shape.

What if I have scars or moles?

If a scar is at the same level as the skin, the procedure may be performed. Moles cannot be tattooed, however, we can go around them.

Can I have the procedure done if I have no brow hair at all?

Absolutely! This is a great option for those who suffer from Alopecia, Trichotillomania, or have been through chemotherapy. Nano/Powder Brows can even correct past wax catastrophes, over tweezing, or normal hair thinning that occurs.
