HOw can i book an appointment?

Both are forms of permanent makeup brows that can give you natural results! They are all designed to enhance your natural brows by providing more fullness and shape. During your consultation or appointment, we will determine the best service based on your natural brow shape, skin type, age and lifestyle.

What are Powder or nano brows?

Lip blush is a cosmetic tattoo that enhances your natural lip color. This technique can range from a natural look, like tinted chapstick or a more opaque look, like a lip stain. It gives your lips a wash of color that is smudge proof, waterproof and sweatproof.

What is lip blush?

Freckle tattoos are a way to get that sun kissed look without the sun damage. You can get as many or as few as you’d like, from just a few beauty marks to a sprinkling of freckles. Freckle tattoos are mapped based on your personal preference and where sunlight would naturally hit your bone structure.

What are freckle tattoos?

Cosmetic tattoos fade over time and require follow up sessions to maintain them. Factors such as skin type, lifestyle, age, metabolism, medications, sun exposure affect how long you can go between sessions. 
After the two initial sessions, most folks are able to go between 1-3 years before needing a follow up.

How long will it last?

3.5 hours are allotted for first time brow and lip appointments, though we are often done sooner. The extra time allows ample time for mapping, shaping, measuring, and a half hour numbing break. Follow up sessions are 2.5 hours or less.
Freckles appointments are under 2 hours and Astrofrecks are less than 1.

how long will it take?

1 month: no Botox or fillers around the area.
2 weeks: no microdermabrasion, facials, chemical peels, regenerative creams, exfoliants and retinol, or retain-A. 
1 week: no tanning or sunburn.
3 days: no tinting, plucking, or waxing brows. Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E, fish oil, or any blood thinners. Tylonel is okay.
24 hours leading up: no workouts, heavy sweating or exercise, alcoholic beverages, caffeine, or coffee.

Lip clients, make sure you come hydrated! Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily starting 5 days before your appointment.

what is the pre-care?

2 weeks: wash at least 2x a day with non- scented soap and lightly moisturize with an unscented lotion, shea butter or cocoa butter. No direct sun, swimming, sweating, or intense exercise. 

Cosmetic tattoos can look very bold and “makeup-y” for the first 3-5 days so it is not recommended to get them done immediately before big life events or family photos.

What is the aftercare?

A non-refundable, non-transferable $50-100 deposit is required to book any appointment.

If you need to reschedule your appointment, please give as much notice as possible to fill the spot. Less than 72 hours of notice or arriving more than 15 minutes late will require a new deposit to rebook. .
