microblading: This technique uses a hand-held tool to create fine, hair-like strokes in your brow area. It’s perfect for clients seeking a natural, feathered look, and works best for individuals with normal to dry skin.

combination brows: A blend of microblading and ombre powder techniques. The front of your brows will have hair-like strokes for a natural finish, while the tails will have a soft powder effect for more definition. Ideal for clients who want a natural look with a bit more structure and depth.

ombré powder brows:  This method uses a machine to apply a soft, shaded look throughout the entire brow. It’s great for people with oily or sensitive skin and those who prefer a more filled-in, defined appearance. It gives a soft, makeup-like finish that’s long-lasting and requires less maintenance.

am i ready for an annual touch-up?

For Returning Clients Only


Before booking your touch-up appointment, here are some important things to keep in mind:

A black and white icon of a spiral on a white background.

These guidelines are for clients who have completed their initial session and their first touch-up six weeks later.

A black and white icon of a spiral on a white background.

If you've had microblading, your brows should be faded by at least 60% before scheduling another session. We recommend spacing your annual touch-ups 12-18 months apart for optimal results.

A black and white icon of a spiral on a white background.

Microbladed brows are low-maintenance, not no-maintenance! Booking a henna brow or a little makeup can help perfect the look between touch-ups.

A black and white icon of a spiral on a white background.

Frequent touch-ups can cause your brows to appear more like a solid tattoo. If that's the look you prefer, we suggest switching to a powder brow instead. If you love the natural, hair-stroke look, it’s better to wait until your brows have faded significantly

A black and white icon of a spiral on a white background.

Each unnecessary touch-up can cause trauma to your skin. Waiting for your brows to fade ensures fresh, crisp results at your next visit, helping us maintain a more realistic look over time.

If we determine that your brows haven’t faded to the recommended 60%, we may need to reschedule your appointment.

what is saline brow removal?

Saline brow removal is a safe, non-laser method used to lighten or remove unwanted semi-permanent or permanent eyebrow tattoos. This technique uses a saline solution, which is applied to the tattooed area to break down the pigment and allow it to be absorbed by the body. The solution works by drawing the pigment out of the skin in a natural, gradual process.

how does saline brow removal work?

The procedure involves a trained professional using a specialized tool to apply the saline solution to the tattooed area. The solution is then worked into the skin to draw the pigment to the surface, where it can be wiped away. The process may need to be repeated in several sessions, depending on the depth of the pigment and the desired result.

benefits of saline brow removal

A black and white icon of a spiral on a white background.

Safe and effective: It is a gentle and non-invasive procedure that works well for removing or lightening unwanted tattoos, including microblading and other semi-permanent eyebrow tattoos.

A black and white icon of a spiral on a white background.

Minimal side effects: Unlike laser removal, saline brow removal has a lower risk of scarring and discoloration. It’s also less likely to cause hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.

A black and white icon of a spiral on a white background.

Natural process: The saline solution uses the body’s natural healing process to absorb and break down the ink, leaving behind minimal disruption to the surrounding tissue.

what to expect during and after the treatment

A black and white icon of a spiral on a white background.

Before treatment: Your technician will assess your brows to determine the appropriate approach and ensure you’re a good candidate for saline removal. You may be asked to avoid certain skincare products for a few days prior to your appointment.

A black and white icon of a spiral on a white background.

During the procedure: The treatment can feel slightly uncomfortable, but it’s typically well-tolerated. A numbing cream may be applied to reduce discomfort.

A black and white icon of a spiral on a white background.

Aftercare: It's essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your technician to ensure proper healing and the best results. This may include avoiding water and excessive moisture on the treated area for several days, and using aftercare ointments to aid in healing.

A black and white icon of a spiral on a white background.

Healing time: The healing process typically takes 7-10 days, with scabbing and peeling occurring as the skin regenerates. It may take several weeks to see the full results, as the pigment fades gradually over time.

how many sessions will i need?

The number of sessions required for complete removal or lightening depends on factors such as the size of the tattoo, the type of pigment used, and how deeply it was implanted in the skin. Typically, 2-3 sessions are needed for optimal results, with each session spaced a few weeks apart to allow for proper healing.

is saline brow removal right for me?

Saline removal is a great option for those who want to remove or lighten their semi-permanent eyebrows due to dissatisfaction with the results or if they want to start fresh. It’s particularly effective for removing pigments that are too dark, uneven, or have unwanted undertones.


If you're considering saline brow removal, be sure to consult with a trained and experienced professional who can assess your specific needs and guide you through the process.

customized eyelash extensions

Eyelash extensions are a beautiful way to enhance your natural lashes, giving you a longer, fuller look without the need for daily mascara. Unlike store-bought falsies, extensions are carefully applied by a professional for a flawless, natural finish that’s weightless and comfortable to wear.

what are eyelash extensions?

Lash extensions are small synthetic fibers individually bonded to your natural lashes. These semi-permanent enhancements last anywhere from 4-6 weeks, staying in place until your natural lash sheds.


Extensions are water-resistant, smudge-proof, and a fantastic alternative to mascara—no more clumping, streaking, or smudging! However, if you do wear mascara, be sure to choose non-waterproof and use oil-free removers to protect the bond.

touch-ups

Your natural lashes naturally shed every 45-60 days, so regular touch-ups every 2-3 weeks will help maintain their fullness and beauty. Waiting too long may result in needing a full set. Touch-ups typically take about 60-90 minutes and are a quick way to refresh your look.
