What is Brow Lamination?
Brow lamination is a semi-permanent treatment that involves restructuring your brow hairs to create a fuller, more defined look. It involves applying a special solution to soften the hairs, allowing them to be brushed into your desired shape and style. The result is smooth, voluminous, and uniform brows that last for several weeks.
What is Brow Tinting?
Brow tinting is a coloring treatment that enhances the natural color of your eyebrows. A semi-permanent dye is applied to the brows to make them appear fuller, darker, and more defined. It can also help cover sparse areas, giving a more even, polished appearance.
How Long Does Brow Lamination Last?
Brow lamination typically lasts 6 to 8 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle and aftercare. For optimal results, it’s best to avoid excessive rubbing or exposure to oils, as these can break down the lamination sooner.
How Long Does Brow Tinting Last?
Brow tinting generally lasts 2 to 4 weeks, depending on your skin type, hair growth, and how well you care for your brows afterward.
Can I Do Brow Lamination and Brow Tinting Together?
Yes, brow lamination and brow tinting can be performed together in a single session to achieve the ultimate defined, voluminous, and well-shaped brows. The combination helps shape and color the brows, offering both a fuller look and enhanced definition.
Is Brow Lamination Safe?
When performed by a certified professional, brow lamination is safe. However, it's important to make sure you don’t have any allergies to the products used in the treatment. A patch test is recommended before the procedure to check for any adverse reactions.
Is Brow Tinting Safe?
Brow tinting is generally safe, but as with any cosmetic treatment, there is a small risk of allergic reaction. A patch test should always be done at least 24 hours before the procedure to ensure you’re not allergic to the tinting product.
How Do I Prepare for a Brow Lamination or Tinting Appointment?
For Brow Lamination: Make sure your brows are clean and free from makeup or oils. Avoid any treatments like waxing or threading a few days before the appointment to ensure optimal results.
For Brow Tinting: Cleanse your brows and remove any makeup. Avoid using any brow products (like pencil or gel) on the day of your appointment.
Can Brow Lamination and Tinting Be Done on Sensitive Skin?
Both treatments are generally safe for sensitive skin, but a patch test is highly recommended. If you have particularly sensitive skin, inform your technician so they can tailor the treatment or use gentler products.
How Do I Care for My Brows After a Lamination or Tinting Treatment?
After Brow Lamination: Avoid getting your brows wet for at least 24 hours, and refrain from using oil-based products on your brows. Brush your brows regularly with a spoolie to maintain the shape.
After Brow Tinting: Avoid excessive sweating and contact with water for 24 hours after tinting. Be gentle when washing your face to prevent fading.
Can I Use Brow Products (Pencils, Gels, etc.) After Brow Lamination?
It’s best to avoid using brow pencils, gels, or any makeup for the first 24 hours after lamination. After this period, you can use your usual brow products, but be mindful of how often you touch or manipulate your brows, as it can affect the lamination.
Can I Get Brow Lamination or Tinting If I Have Previous Brow Treatments?
Yes, but you may need to wait a certain period between treatments. For example, after getting eyebrow waxed or threaded, it’s best to wait at least 1-2 weeks before brow lamination or tinting. Always consult with your technician to ensure the treatments won't interfere with each other.
Are There Any Risks with Brow Lamination or Tinting?
As with any cosmetic procedure, there are minor risks. Some people may experience irritation, redness, or allergic reactions to the products used, especially with tinting. It’s important to follow all aftercare instructions and communicate any concerns with your technician.
Who Should Avoid Brow Lamination?
Brow lamination may not be suitable for individuals with very thin or sparse brows, as it can make hair appear more fragile. Additionally, people with sensitive skin, eczema, or psoriasis around the brow area should avoid lamination. Always consult with a professional before proceeding.
Can I Get Brow Lamination or Tinting If I’m Pregnant or Nursing?
It’s always best to consult with your doctor before undergoing any cosmetic treatments during pregnancy or breastfeeding, although many experts consider brow lamination and tinting to be safe.

Eyelash extensions are individual synthetic fibers used to used to enhance the length, curliness, fullness, and thickness of your natural lashes . Depending on the set, either a single eyelash extension and/or fan of lash extensions is then applied to one individual lash. Keep in mind, each set is customized to fit each client’s eye shape, preference, & natural lashes.
What is the difference between a Full Set vs Fill?
A Full Set, is the application of eyelash extensions to your natural lashes through your full lash line. This is for those who have no eyelash extensions attached, have less than 40% of eyelash extensions attached, or want to have current eyelash extensions removed and have a new full set applied.
Fills are there to fill any gaps caused by the natural shedding of lashes in between full sets. Outgrown eyelash extensions are removed and replaced with a new eyelash extension. It's recommended to have a fill every 2-3 weeks to keep your lashes nice & full.
How long will my extensions last?
Depending on you daily activities, life style, aftercare, your natural eyelash growth cycle, etc., eyelash extensions can last up to 2-4 weeks. It's recommended to have a fill every 2-3 weeks to keep your lashes fluffy & full.
How long is the appointment for eyelash extensions?
The process of a new full set can take anywhere from 2 to 3 hours, depending on the desired set & how many natural lashes you have. Fills can take up 1 to 2 hours.
What do I need to do to prepare for my eyelash extension appointment?

I booked a fill but might not have 40% on the day of my appointment. What should I do?
Please inform the artist prior to your appointment if you may not have enough eyelash extensions for a fill, that way more time can be added to your appointment if needed. If you end up having 40%, you'll only be charged for a fill.

What is a Lash Lift?
A lash lift is a semi-permanent treatment that curls and lifts your natural lashes, giving them a longer, more voluminous appearance. It involves using a gentle solution to break the disulfide bonds in your lashes, which allows them to be shaped and set in a lifted position. The result is a wide-eyed, natural look without the need for extensions.
How Does a Lash Lift Work?
During the procedure, your lashes are carefully attached to a silicone pad that determines the curl. A lifting solution is then applied to break the bonds in the hair, followed by a setting solution to re-form the bonds and keep the lashes in their new, curled shape. The entire process usually takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
How Long Does a Lash Lift Last?
A lash lift typically lasts 6 to 8 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle. As your lashes grow and shed, the curl will gradually loosen, and the effect will fade. To maintain the lift, you can schedule regular touch-ups every 6-8 weeks.
Is a Lash Lift Safe?
Yes, a lash lift is generally safe when performed by a trained professional. The solutions used are designed for delicate eye areas, but it’s essential to choose a reputable salon that follows proper hygiene and safety protocols. A patch test before the procedure is recommended to ensure you're not allergic to any of the products.
Does a Lash Lift Damage My Natural Lashes?
When done properly by a certified technician, a lash lift should not cause damage to your natural lashes. However, excessive lifting or incorrect application can lead to lash breakage or irritation. Always follow aftercare instructions to avoid damage and maintain lash health.
Can I Wear Mascara After a Lash Lift?
Yes, you can wear mascara after a lash lift. However, it’s best to wait 24 hours before applying mascara or using any eye makeup to ensure the lash lift has set properly. For long-term care, consider using a gentle, oil-free mascara to avoid breaking down the lift prematurely.
How Should I Care for My Lashes After a Lift?
Avoid water for the first 24 hours to allow the lift to set.
Do not rub or touch your eyes excessively for the first few days.
Avoid oil-based products around your eyes, as oils can break down the lift.
Brush your lashes with a spoolie to maintain their shape and prevent tangling.
Avoid steam rooms or saunas for 48 hours after the procedure.
Can I Get a Lash Lift If I Have Short or Straight Lashes?
Yes! A lash lift works on all types of natural lashes, whether they’re short, straight, or long. However, the amount of curl achieved will depend on the length and thickness of your lashes. If you have very short or fine lashes, the results may not be as dramatic, but you’ll still see a lift and more defined appearance.
Is a Lash Lift the Same as Lash Extensions?
No, a lash lift is not the same as lash extensions. A lash lift enhances your natural lashes by curling and lifting them, while lash extensions involve attaching individual synthetic lashes to your natural lashes to create length and volume. Lash lifts provide a more natural, subtle enhancement, while extensions offer a more dramatic look.
Can I Get a Lash Lift If I Wear Contacts?
Yes, you can get a lash lift if you wear contact lenses, but you should remove your contacts before the treatment. It’s also important to inform your technician that you wear contacts, as they may take extra care around your eyes during the procedure.
Can I Still Use Eyelash Serums After a Lash Lift?
Yes, you can continue using eyelash serums after a lash lift, but be cautious about the types of products you use. Opt for serums that are free from oils and harsh chemicals that could interfere with the lift. It’s best to wait at least 24-48 hours before resuming use to allow your lashes to set properly.
What Happens If I Get My Lashes Wet Before the 24-Hour Mark?
If your lashes get wet within the first 24 hours of your lash lift, the curl may not set properly. This could lead to uneven or less noticeable results. To avoid this, try to keep your lashes dry for the first 24 hours after the treatment.
How Often Can I Get a Lash Lift?
It’s generally recommended to wait 6 to 8 weeks between lash lifts to allow your natural lashes to complete their growth cycle. Overlapping treatments too frequently can cause strain or breakage to your lashes.
Can I Get a Lash Lift if I Have Sensitive Eyes or Allergies?
If you have sensitive eyes or known allergies, it’s important to inform your technician beforehand. A patch test is typically performed at least 24 hours before the treatment to check for any adverse reactions. People with certain eye conditions (like conjunctivitis, styes, or lash mites) may need to avoid lash lifts.
Can I Get a Lash Lift While Pregnant or Breastfeeding?
There are no known risks associated with lash lifts during pregnancy or breastfeeding, but it’s always best to consult with your doctor before undergoing any cosmetic procedure.
Are Lash Lifts Suitable for Everyone?
Lash lifts are suitable for most people, but there are some exceptions. If you have particularly weak, brittle lashes, or certain eye conditions (like severe allergies, active infections, or recent eye surgery), you may not be a good candidate for the treatment. Always consult with a professional before booking your appointment to ensure a lash lift is right for you.

What is Semi-Permanent Makeup?
Semi-permanent makeup is a form of micro-pigmentation (permanent makeup). Specially formulated pigment is deposited into the skin using a single sterile needle.
What is the difference between semi-permanent and permanent makeup?
Semi-permanent makeup is a much less invasive application of depositing pigment between the epidermis and upper dermis layer. The results last 1-3 years with necessary touch ups to maintain the color and shape. The color will gradually lighten and fade without changing colors as the skin naturally sheds and exfoliates.
Permanent makeup uses a much more aggressive application depositing pigment deeper into the dermal layer. The inks used contain heavy metals which allow for the tattoo to be permanent. The results lasts 5-10+ years and oftentimes will change colors due to the skin's chemistry.
What is the difference between ombre powder brows and microblading?
Ombre powder brows uses a tattoo rotary pen machine that penetrates the skin with a sterile, single prong needle. The tool uses quick, tapping motions to deposit pigment into the skin, resulting in a powdered look. This method is ideal for those with any skin type who want a defined, but soft powdered brow. Typically lasts 1-3 years with recommended touch-ups every 1-2 years.
Microblading uses a hand tool with a sterile, single-use “microblade” - consists of 12 needles packed in a line to form a blade. The tool is used to manually draw small hair-like strokes while depositing pigment into the skin. This method is ideal for those with normal skin only who want a natural, fluffy hair-like look. Typically lasts 6 - 18 months with recommended yearly touch-ups.
How long does the appointment take and what does it consist of?
The appointment takes about 2 - 3 hours. The first half is spent drawing and outlining your ideal brow shape. Once you are pleased with the outcome, we will move into color matching and numbing. I recommend colors that best suit your complexion and the natural color of your eyebrow hairs. Finally, we’ll move onto the tattooing.
Is it painful?
I try to minimize any pain and discomfort by numbing you throughout the tattooing process. Some have described it as “slight discomfort, but very tolerable” while others have experienced no discomfort at all.
What should I expect after my appointment?
You may experience slight redness and swelling the day after the procedure. Just like any tattoo, the area will appear darker for the days following but as your skin heals, it will begin to fade as the skin peels. The healing process can take anywhere from 9-14 days to fully heal, in which you will experience peeling, flaking, itching of the tattooed brow area. You will be sent home with thorough post-procedure care instructions and an antiseptic ointment to ensure proper healing. After about 2 weeks, you should expect to see natural-looking, powdered brows!
Will I need a touch up?
A touch up is optional and based off of personal preference as brows should be low maintenance and not no maintenance. The second session is recommended at a minimum of 8 weeks after the initial session to ensure proper healing. It can be booked to further lock in the pigment and to make any minor changes. This will also help to ensure the brows will last longer.
Will the color change?
Absolutely not. I always work with high quality pigments and select colors that closely match natural-looking hair color. Overtime, the color will gradually fade lighter which is why touch-ups are recommended every 1-2 years.
How often will I need to get my brows done after?
Clients are recommended to come in annually for a color refresh as brows will gradually fade and shrink over time. This will help to maintain the color, darkness and shape - think of it as getting your hair color refreshed! However, all skin types will have varying retention so it is entirely up to you how often you will need to come in. Please note that the longer the wait, the more work that will need to be done.
Why can't pregnant or nursing women receive a permanent makeup procedure?
Like any tattoo or procedure involving opening of the skin, there is a risk of contracting infections such as HIV and Hepatitis B. As with any infection, it involves treatment through medication which can affect the baby. There is little to no research regarding the effect of pigments on the body of a pregnant woman and her unborn baby. Chemicals such as iron and titanium dioxides can be harmful towards a baby’s development.
How do I know if I am a good candidate?
Permanent cosmetic procedures are not recommended for individuals with the following conditions. If you do have any of the contraindications listed below, please consult with your physician prior to booking.

Gently pat dry with a clean cotton pad – do not use a bath towel and do not rub.
With a clean q-tip each time, gently apply a pea size amount of post-care lotion twice a day – once in the morning and once in the evening. For dry skin, apply 3x times a day.
Please note to only apply a pea size amount of post-care lotion as applying too much will suffocate the skin which will lead to poor pigment retention

Avoid for 14 Days
Touching, picking, peeling, scratching of brows

Threading, waxing, or use of hair removal products
Sun tanning and salon tanning
Anti-acne products or lightening creams on/near brows
Laser or chemical treatments / peels
Smoke, fumes, areas with airborne debris
Driving in open-air vehicle
What to Expect During the Healing Process
For most, brows will heal within 7-14 days. Estimated timeline below.
Day 1 - 3: Brows will look darker and thicker. Do not panic. It is still fresh and the scabbing process has not started.
Day 4 - 7: Brows will begin to scab/flake & may appear patchy.
Day 7 - 10: Brows are completely peeled & the color seem very faint/light.
Day 11 - 35: Color will start to resurface, darken, & stabilize as your skin regenerates & pushes the pigment to the upper layers of the skin. Brows can take 6 - 8 weeks to show its true color.
THINGS TO NOTE:
Everybody heals differently and they might notice gaps and irregularities after the brows are healed. Factors such as lifestyle, aftercare, skin, hormones, etc. can impact the healed results.
Skin is irritated and injured, seeing pink/redness in the skin & color is normal. Especially during days 2-12 as the wound is fresh and the scab is just starting to "lift" off.
Brow color may appear more "warm" & red at first as some colors are modified to heal with less ashy undertones.
Color may heal light/uneven at first. Please trust the process and wait for the color to resurface, darken, & stabilize. Lightness in color or patchiness will be corrected during touch ups.
1st touch up is scheduled 2 months after 1st session since brows can take 6 - 8 weeks to show its true color. I do not recommend coming any sooner to allow your skin to heal.
1st session brows are meant to lay a natural foundation.
Correction / Cover Ups can require multiple sessions of touch ups as it requires additional steps to neutralize/color correct the brows, skin camouflage existing work that needs to be covered from prior work, etc.
Touch ups are scheduled to perfect the shape/color and maintain the color as it fades.
WHEN TO SEEK MEDICIAL ATTENTION – INFECTION
Signs and symptoms of infection, including, but not limited to redness, swelling, tenderness of the procedure site, red streaks going from the procedure site towards the heart, elevated body temperature, or purulent drainage from the procedure site
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms above, please contact your medical physician

What Are Tiny and Fine Line Tattoos?
Tiny and fine line tattoos are minimalist designs characterized by delicate, thin lines and subtle details. These tattoos typically feature simple, intricate artwork such as small symbols, words, geometric shapes, or floral patterns. They are often smaller in size compared to traditional tattoos and focus on precision and simplicity.
Are Tiny and Fine Line Tattoos More Painful Than Traditional Tattoos?
The pain level for tiny and fine line tattoos can vary depending on the placement and your personal pain tolerance. Generally, because the needles used for fine line tattoos are thinner, the sensation is often described as less intense compared to larger, heavier tattoos. However, areas with less flesh or more nerve endings (like the ribs, ankles, or fingers) may still be uncomfortable.
Do Tiny and Fine Line Tattoos Fade Faster?
Tiny and fine line tattoos are typically more delicate than traditional tattoos, and their fine lines may have a higher tendency to blur or fade over time. However, proper aftercare and the skill of the tattoo artist play a crucial role in how well the tattoo holds up. If you want your fine line tattoo to last, make sure to protect it from excessive sun exposure, keep it moisturized, and follow all aftercare instructions.
What Is the Aftercare for Tiny and Fine Line Tattoos?
After getting a tiny or fine line tattoo, follow these general aftercare tips:
Keep it clean: Wash the tattoo gently with mild, fragrance-free soap and water. Pat it dry with a clean towel.
Moisturize: Apply a thin layer of unscented tattoo ointment or lotion to keep the tattoo hydrated.
Avoid sun exposure: Direct sunlight can cause fading, so avoid tanning or exposing your tattoo to the sun for long periods.
Don't pick or scratch: Allow the tattoo to scab and heal naturally—picking can cause scarring or fading.
Avoid swimming: Stay away from pools, hot tubs, or the ocean until your tattoo is fully healed.
Can Tiny and Fine Line Tattoos Be Done Anywhere on the Body?
Tiny and fine line tattoos can technically be done anywhere on the body, but certain areas may be more challenging due to skin texture, movement, or other factors. For example, areas with more muscle, such as the upper arm or thigh, often hold tattoos better than places with thinner skin, such as the hands, fingers, or ankles. Fine lines also tend to hold up best on areas with smooth, taut skin.
Are Tiny and Fine Line Tattoos Suitable for First-Time Tattoo Clients?
Tiny and fine line tattoos can be a great option for first-time tattoo clients because they are usually smaller, simpler, and less intimidating than large, detailed pieces. However, it’s essential to ensure that the design you choose is appropriate for your body and skin type. For first-timers, it's a good idea to choose a design that is simple and easy to execute to ensure a positive experience.
Can Fine Line Tattoos Be Colored, or Are They Only Black?
Fine line tattoos are often done in black ink because the thin lines show up most clearly in monochrome. However, red is offered.
How Long Do Tiny and Fine Line Tattoos Take to Heal?
The healing process for tiny and fine line tattoos typically takes about 2 to 3 weeks for the initial healing and up to 6 weeks for full healing. The skin will peel, scab, and gradually regenerate during this period. Be patient, and avoid irritating the tattoo during the healing process to ensure the lines stay sharp and clean.
What Happens if My Fine Line Tattoo Blurs or Fades Over Time?
Fine line tattoos may blur or fade over time if not properly cared for, especially in areas where skin stretches or is exposed to the sun. If you notice any fading or blurring after healing, it’s best to consult with your tattoo artist for potential touch-ups. Touch-ups can help restore the crispness of the lines and ensure your tattoo stays looking sharp.
Can I Get a Tiny or Fine Line Tattoo If I Have Sensitive Skin?
Yes, tiny and fine line tattoos can be suitable for people with sensitive skin, but it depends on the severity of your sensitivity and the location of the tattoo. Always communicate your skin concerns with your artist beforehand. If you’re prone to allergic reactions, ask about the inks used and consider doing a patch test.
Can I Get a Tiny or Fine Line Tattoo If I Have Tattoos Already?
If you already have tattoos, adding a tiny or fine line tattoo can be a great way to complement or contrast with your existing artwork. The placement and design will be key, so make sure your tattoo artist is experienced in creating designs that flow well with your other tattoos.
Can I Get a Tattoo Under the Age of 18?
No, individuals under the age of 18 cannot get a tattoo, even with parental consent. This is the law in the state of Texas, and tattoo shops are legally prohibited from performing tattoos on minors, regardless of parental permission. Deposit will be forfeited if appointment is booked and individual is under age.
How Much Do Tiny and Fine Line Tattoos Cost?
The cost of tiny and fine line tattoos can vary depending on the complexity, size, and placement of the design, as well as the experience of the artist. Generally, fine line tattoos are priced by either the hour or by the design's complexity.
