Yes! I have completed live hands-on trainings and certifications as well as many virtual and online trainings with artists from across the US and around the world. I comply with the Occupational Safety & Health Administration to be trained and certified in Blood Borne Pathogens, and my studio is inspected and licensed by the county.

Honestly, the vast majority of my clients report absolutely no pain now, as I have worked rigorously to perfect a 2-part topical (no shots!) numbing process to make this a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Some people even almost fall asleep. However, if lidocaine or epinephrine do not work on you, then you may feel some discomfort. Any pain is often described as the feeling of being scratched…uncomfortable, but bearable. Please note that it is normal to be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle.

The average appointment lasts about 2 - 2 1/2 hours, but extra time is built in because nothing is ever rushed in this process. It is important to be thorough and take whatever time is needed to provide you the most beautiful brows!

Absolutely! Every effort is taken to create the most realistic, natural-looking eyebrows. You help in the design process, so they can be as big & bold or as soft & subtle as you would like.

Permanent brows normally last between 1-3 years before needing a color boost. Variation is determined by skin type, lifestyle, & sun exposure. Oily skin tends to fade more quickly.

Some swelling, redness and slight tenderness immediately after the procedure is normal and generally lasts only a few hours. Most clients go about their day right afterward with no problems. Clients with more sensitive skin may experience the after-effects for a day or so. Your brows will appear darker, wider, and sharper than the way they will heal, especially for the first 2-5 days. This is normal as the skin goes through the healing process, pushing the pigment lower. It is important to follow all of the AFTERCARE directions! Your healing is only 50% in my control. Once you leave, it’s up to you to be diligent in following the instructions you’re given to get the very best results!

No! I actually prefer if you leave your brows alone for at least a week prior to your appointment so that I can see your natural growth pattern.

No! I work with your existing brow shape and hair growth to create a natural, fuller look for you. Plucking or razoring off rogue hairs is all that will be removed without your permission.

While PMU and tattooing both use needles and pigment, PMU deposits pigment into the epidermis to upper dermis layer of skin while tattooing deposits it much deeper into the dermis layer. Thus PMU is actually semi-permanent and will eventually fade if not retouched.

Absolutely! PMU is a 2-step process for best results. Your brows will fade to some degree during the healing period and some strokes may even disappear. For that reason, you will almost always be the happiest with a touch-up session.

That’s my job to help you!! Every face is one-of-a-kind, every individual has a different desired look, and each person has a unique set of medical conditions. That is why the consultation is so very important. It gives both of us the opportunity to explore what you want, what you need, and what is a good recommendation for you. I treat each person who comes to me as someone with their own special set of needs, and I intend to use whatever techniques that I have at my disposal to create that desired result. This is why I charge the same price no matter what technique or combination of techniques is used. The final outcome is what matters to me!

While permanent makeup is an art, and art is subjective, complete customer satisfaction is always my goal! If you have concerns about your brows once they’ve healed completely, please don’t hesitate to call me so we can discuss what options may be available to help you get the results you desire!
