Levels of discomfort vary upon each individual’s pain threshold and sensitivity, but the sensation can be compared to tweezing of the eyebrows or a light scratching
Hairstrokes work best for clients with dry to normal skin types. Hairstrokes on oiler skin types tend to heal softer and more blended. Clients with more natural existing hair will have more of a 3D look, whereas clients with less hair, will have more of a 2-dimensional look. Our goal is to achieve the most natural looking brow that compliments your face, regardless
Generally, no time off work is needed for healing as mild redness and swelling immediately after the procedure will subside within 24 hours. Healing time is approximately 10- 14 days for the top layers of skin. Initially after the procedure, brows will be much darker, more saturated and thicker than what the final result will be once fully healed. It is important to understand that brows will become 10-15% thinner and up to 40% lighter. Between 4-6 weeks, the area and deeper layers of the skin will be fully healed and reveal its true shape and colour. There can be some minor patchiness in healing between your first and second appointment - this is the purpose of your touch up or "perfecting" appointment, which can be booked 4-8 weeks after the initial treatment. In some cases, clients may need a third appointment to achieve their desired result
An in-depth consultation where expectations are discussed, facial measurements are taken, colours are determined, and a removable drawing of what your brows will look like is performed for your approval before the eyebrow procedure. The procedure can be performed the same day of the consultation. We allow enough time to complete paperwork, take before/after photos, conduct the procedure, and a review of aftercare
We incorporate as much of your natural eyebrow hair as possible. Any strays that lay outside of the eyebrow design will be removed
Aftercare involves not touching your brows (picking, scratching, pulling) while they are healing and potentially scabbing/flaking the first 7-10 days. Avoidance of excessive sun exposure, water, perspiration (working out), skin care products, makeup and exfoliation to the area is important so pigment and healing are not disturbed. Detailed aftercare instructions will be given on the day of the appointment
