Please discontinue the use of any Retinols, Retinoids, Retin-A or Tretinoin creams for a minimum of 6 weeks.

Take a break from any exfoliating and anti acne products ( glycolics, vitamin c, AHA/ BHA, enzyme washes, serums, etc) near and around your brows area at least 2 weeks prior to your session and 2 weeks after for best healed results.

Refrain from drinking alcohol or taking blood thinning medications 24 hours prior to your appointment.

Any treatments such as lasers, peels, waxing, botox, tinting, etc should also take place 2 weeks prior or 2 weeks after your appointment.

Skin should be healthy and non-irritated, blemish and sunburn free for best results. Your skin type & condition will greatly determine your results.

Microblading alone is only suitable for dry, non-porous & healthy skin. Most clients will benefit from a naturally shaded style brow with a few hairlike details.

The Week Before Your Appointment:

Avoid alcohol, excessive caffeine, lip sticks and extreme sun exposure.

Drink a minimum of 8 (8 oz) glasses of water daily.

Vitamin E or Vitamin A&D should be applied to your lips throughout the day.

After showering/washing your face in the evening, gently scrub your lips using a lip scrub (see lip scrub details below), especially in the middle, and then apply a thin layer of Vitamin D or A&D.

Please do not take blood thinners such as ibuprofen & aspirin 24 hours prior to your appointment.

If needed, Tylenol can be taken 30 minutes before your appointment.

If you are prone to bruising and/or swelling, we recommend taking oral Arnica Montana (can be found in a vitamin store, or online) to reduce bruising and/or swelling. Start taking it 4-5 days prior to your appointment, per label instructions.

Please do not have any Fat/Botox/Filler less than two weeks prior to your appointment.

Additional Lip Pre-Procedure Advice:

Please make sure your lips are well moisturized in the days leading to the appointment. Dry, cracked lips won't heal nicely. If your lips are dry, cracked or irritated on the day of your appointment, you will most likely be rescheduled.

If you've EVER had even 1 cold sore on the outside area of your mouth or on your lips, you MUST take doctor prescribed Valtrex or similar at least 3 days prior and 3 days after getting your lips tattooed. If you don't - this procedure will trigger an outbreak that will affect healing, so this is very important & very easy to avoid.

If you have Lip Filler, you MUST wait at least 1 month before/after to get your lips tattooed.

Lip Scrub

Combine 1 TBSP of Brown Sugar, 1 TBSP of Honey and 1 TBSP of Olive Oil and mix well.

Apply lip scrub mixture to lips in a circular motion for 5-10 minutes to eliminate chapping.

Repeat daily, up to 3 days before your appointment.

To ensure the best results and a smooth experience, please follow these guidelines before and after your appointment:

• Discontinue the use of any lash growth serums at least three weeks before your appointment.

• Remove lash extensions at least 48 hours prior to your appointment.

• Avoid Lash Lift + Tint services for at least two weeks before your appointment.

• After your procedure, wait two weeks before resuming the use of lash growth serums or getting lash extensions again.

• Refrain from intense workouts on the day of your procedure and for 7-10 days afterward.

• Avoid the following for at least one week before your appointment: Fish oils, Omega-3s, Vitamin E.

• Avoid the following for at least 48 hours before your appointment: Alcohol, energy drinks, pre-workout supplements, aspirin, ibuprofen, niacin, exfoliating or microdermabrasion facial scrubs, blood thinners, and painkillers.

• Avoid caffeine for 24 hours before your appointment.

• If you wear contacts, please wear glasses to your appointment as contacts cannot be worn during the procedure.

Application is quick, and a combination of natural browns is used for the most subtle effect. Much like other forms of cosmetic tattooing, freckles will look a bit 'unnatural' and more defined/crisp for 3-5 days, before they settle in and become more subtle and natural.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are a user of any exfoliating anti aging/ anti acne products (retinoids, glycolics, vitamin c, AHA/ BHA, enzyme washes, serums, etc) - you must not use these on the tattooed area, both before and after the tattoo.
