Aftercare Instructions
2x A DAY: With clean hands, wash the area thoroughly with ONLY provided cleanser & warm water then pat dry.
2x A DAY: Apply a THIN layer of aftercare cream/balm provided (too much will delay healing).
NO BROW MAKEUP FOR 7 DAYS!!! (Or anything but the above!! You have open wounds & we want to keep germs out!)
No scratching or picking Itchiness is normal as skin is healing. It’s important not to scratch or pick them as you will disturb the natural healing process & may pull out pigment. How you take care of your brows will have a great impact on the way they heal!
Stay out of the sun! UVA exposure has been proven to cause a shift in color, excessive fading as well as pigment migration & blurred strokes. Always use sunglasses or hat. SPF can be used on the brows after 7 days.
No standing water or ocean for 7 days! No baths/pools /ocean-these can harbor bacteria. And well…you have open wounds.
NO – RETINOL, LASER TREATMENTS, CHEMICAL PEELS, TANNING, GLYCOLIC, AHA near brows, ever! Advanced skincare treatments is best continued after 6 weeks after brow appointment - or if this is your first time getting brows done - after the initial session + touchup.
The entire healing process will take from 4 - 6 weeks – a touchup can NOT be done prior to 4 weeks. Due to the skin regeneration process, after the recovery period the brows may appear lighter than original. Often, even with proper care, clients lose some strokes or may experience some fading, which makes brows look uneven. This is absolutely NORMAL because your natural skin type & skin regeneration, this is not a process that the artist cannot control. That’s why around most clients need a touch up, to assure that brows are perfectly even & the desired effect was achieved.
Contact a physician if you experience signs of infection such as redness, warmth & swelling of pigmented area!

Day-By-Day Healing Guide
Your healing process can have its ups & downs. The color may change over time as you heal & as your body accepts or metabolizes the pigment. But trust us when I say you will LOVE your results.
Use this guide so you know that what you are experiencing IS normal & nearly everyone goes through something similar...
Day 1: I LOVE MY NEW BROWS! Your brows are fresh, perfect & brand new. What's not to love?
Day 2-5: "These are way too dark & thick." The brows may actually get a bit darker over this period of time, but don't freak ou! They will lighten. They may appear to be a WARM in color – this is because you have been cut over 100 times, therefore your skin is red, raw, irritated. As they begin heal this will dissipate. We also PRE NEUTRALIZE if you have cooler skin tones so the brows won’t heal too cool or ashy. They also are a bit swollen so they can appear larger for a day or so.
Day 4-10: During these days your brows may be itchy or flaky. They may even begin to scab - especially if you’ve gotten powder brows done. Make sure to NOT pick or remove the flakes or you may inadvertently remove some of your pigment or introduce infection!
Day 4-14: "My brows have completely disappeared!!" “My brows are super patchy and uneven!” Your brows may appear like they are completely gone during this time as the healing skin is thicker & opaque, but don't worry - they will still be there! As the healing process progresses the skin becomes thinner & translucent once again & your strokes will show through. This is also why it's important to have your perfecting touch up if you feel you need one.
Day 6-28: "My brows are coming back but they are patchy!" Your brows may appear to be patchy & incomplete during this part of the healing process. Most of these patches will fill in over time but if for some reason some area doesn't take the perfecting touch up will fill the gap.
Day 28: "I can finally have a perfecting session!”" If you need a touchup, please be sure to book your “4-8 WEEK PERFECTING SESSION” on our booking site.
Day 42 (after Perfecting Session): "These are better than I could have ever imagined!!!" And now you are back to the way you felt after the first day!
