FAQ

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR PMU?

If your are seeking to enhance your eyebrows to better frame your face, or seeking more symmetry this is for you!

Please read the list of client contradictions (scroll down)

CHOOSING A TECHNIQUE:

Choosing a technique is greatly determined by skin type.

Hairstroke technique alone is only suitable for dry, poreless skin types.

Powder Technique is good for dry combo, oily skin types, or all skin types. Powder effect either alone/integrated into the technique will always be the superior service, yielding the best long-term results.

When booking: Select your desired technique, but come with an open mind. Dont worry, there is a consultation before every service, and we will work together to choose what’s best for you.

DOES IT HURT:

There is very minimal pain. Clients usually say “threading hurts more.” There is also the use of numbing anesthetic.

TIMING:

There is a bit of mindfulness when scheduling your eyebrows.

They will go through a healing period of about 5-10 days.

“It’s totally ok to see your coworkers, and go out to dinner with your girlfriends, but I wouldn’t do it the same week as your wedding.”

HEALING:

There is ZERO swelling. Over the course of 10 Day’s you will go through the entire healing process.

They get a little darker day 2-3, and then scab off around 5-7.

Commitment to aftercare is important

WHY TOUCH UPS?

You will leave your first appointment with perfect brows. The healing process, aftercare, and skin type are factors that come into play.

Consider your new brows an investment. The touch-up ensures that you are walking around with your best potential for longevity.
