Who is a good candidate?

Most healthy individuals are good candidates.

There are very few cases in which someone is not a candidate for at least one of the techniques available. If you have a specific concern or question, please schedule a free consultation via the book now button or email Emily at pante011@gmail.com.

Can I schedule a consultation before my appointment?

Absolutely! A thorough consultation is included in any full service that is scheduled but if you’re unsure about any part of these services and would like to get a better idea of what may suit you specifically, you can always schedule a free consultation and we can discuss that prior to any full service commitment.

How do I know what I should schedule for and what if I schedule for the wrong technique?

Don’t worry! You don’t have to know! You can schedule for any technique and we can adjust what we do the day of your appointment based on what we discuss during your consultation.

How long do these enhancements last?

Typically these enhancements last anywhere from 2-4 years. What we look for in terms of maintenance readiness is that the brows are at least 50% faded or more.

Is it painful?

Most clients report minimal discomfort! A topical numbing cream is used during the service to help alleviate any sort of sensitivity.

What’s the healing process like?

For 10- 14 days, you will want to follow a fairly low maintenance aftercare that I will send you home with. Expect some tenderness in the first day or so and light flaking around days 5-14. During the time that you are flaking, you’ll want to keep your brows dry, avoid sweating, stay out of the sun and only apply to the brows what I send with you in a kit. The color will appear darker and warmer in tone at first, but will soften 30-50% on average once settled in the skin. The full color will be settled in around week 5/6.

What’s the difference between Microblading, Nano, Powder, Combo?

  • Microblading: Hair-like strokes, skin breaks, texture focused, dry-normal skin types are good candidates

  • Nano Brows: Hair- like strokes, skin breaks, texture focused, less invasive, all skin types are candidates

  • Powder Brows: Soft, shaded technique, coverage focused, filled in effect, all skin types are candidates

  • Combo Brows: A combination of a hairstroke technique like Microblading or nano and a shaded technique like powder. Hairstrokes are created first in the skin and then shading is added in between the strokes to soften the contrast between the stroke and the skin.

Is it safe?

Yes! — I am a trained, licensed tattoo artist and I follow strict hygiene protocols in a sterile environment all mandated by the state health department.

How long does the procedure take?

An initial session for Microblading, Nano Brows, Powder Brows or Combo Brows will take about 3-4 hours. This includes a thorough consultation, mapping, numbing, and the actual procedure. Touch ups at 6-12 weeks are blocked out for 2 hours.

Do I need a touch-up?

Most times, yes. A touch-up is typically recommended 6–12 weeks after your first session to perfect the shape and build the color. Your first session is intended to lay a foundation or a framework to be built upon at your touch up. Each person’s retention looks different so it is important to approach these enhancements conservatively.

How much does it cost?

  • Microblading // $500

  • Nano Brows // $550

  • Powder // $500

  • Combo Brows // $550

  • 6-12 Week Perfecting Touch Up // $125-$175

  • Maintenance Touch Up ( 2+ years) // $350

    All services excluding the 6-12 week perfecting touch up require a $100 scheduling fee be paid when you book your appointment. This fee gets deducted from the total cost of the service the day of (think of it like a deposit or a downpayment)- it simply secures your spot on the calendar :)
