To ensure that your permanent makeup service is successful, please adhere to the following prior to your appointment:

• Do not take aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oils, vitamin E, niacin, or drink excessive alcohol 48-hours prior to and after your procedure.
• Do not take any prescription blood thinners 48-hours prior to and after your procedure.
• Discontinue any vitamin A skin care products (Retin-A, retinols) close to the enhancement area at least two weeks prior to your procedure. We recommend NOT using these products over or around the brow area after you receive your brow service. It could cause fading and distortion of hair strokes.
• Discontinue use of AHA (chemical exfoliation) skin care products close to the brow area at least one week prior to your procedure.
• No laser or electrolysis on or around the treatment area one week prior to procedure.
• Do not have any chemical peels, dermabrasions, mesotherapy, or any other intense treatments which will cause faster skin cell rejuvenating and cause skin irritation three to four weeks before procedure.
• No Botox or fillers in the procedure area two weeks prior.
• If you regularly get your eyebrows shaped, waxed, threaded or tinted, please do so at least three days prior to your appointment.
• Plan trips or events a minimum of one week after the procedure.
• Limit the amount of caffeine you consume the morning of your appointment.
• If you have been on prescription Accutane in the past, you MUST wait at least one year before considering this procedure.
• It is highly recommended that you avoid SUN and TANNING BED exposure for 30 days BEFORE and 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 a sunburn, it will take the pigment with it.
• If you have existing cosmetic tattooing, please contact Dawn BEFORE booking your appointment for a free consultation.

Although perfection is always the goal, no one’s face is 100% perfectly symmetrical. It is nearly impossible for eyebrows to be perfect mirror images of one another. The saying “brows are sisters, not twins” is applicable to permanent makeup brows.
