The day of your procedure please wear your make up as you do on a daily basis and bring your lip and or brow pencil with you.

Do not schedule your permanent make up procedure close to any milestone events for example a week before your wedding. After your procedure your permanent make-up will appear intense. It will be darker, thicker, and overall brighter than what you are used to. It takes 5-7 days for the color to calm down (outer layer of the skin exfoliates).

Make your experience a great one so please get plenty of rest, food and water before any permanent make-up procedure. If your under the weather or ill call and reschedule your appointment for a later date.

Please be advised that "all" permanent make-up procedures require more than one visit so in other words you are not going to be completely done in one visit. Most procedures will intail 2-3 visits. Four to six weeks after your initial visit you will be scheduled a perfecting visit (you paid in full and have no outstanding balance) or a touch-up (have an outstanding balance).
