We will begin every new client appointment by going through a full consultation. During this time, we will review the various types of treatment options you have, the process involved in that treatment, the healing expectations and aftercare instructions, while you get nice and numb with the help of a topical anesthetic.

Before we ever think about putting pigment IN your skin... we will design a shape that works for your face, what we're working with as far as natural brow, and the look you are hoping to achieve.

This design will guide us for the procedure, so rest assured you do get to see an idea of what it will look like before we begin, and only once we have your confident stamp of approval will we move on to the service. 

And then all that's left is permanent makeup treatment time, which is generally pretty quick! Secondary anesthetics are applied throughout your procedure and will ensure you stay comfortable.
