FAQ

Brow Sculpt

  • Normal Brow tint will generally up to 2 days on the skin and up to 4 weeks on the hairs.

    Hybrid tints will generally last up to 2 weeks on the skin and up to 6 weeks on the hair.

    These time frames can vary depending on how much you sweat, how oily your hair and skin is, how often you exfoliate and cleanse for face and how fast your hair grows.

  • Waxing your brows every 4 to 6 weeks with no tweezing or trimming in between is the most efficient way to grow your brows. This process will be longer if your brows are sparse from years of over-waxing or tweezing.

    You could also try Eyenvy serum or Bold Brows serum on the areas you would like to grow.

    Otherwise, brow feathering will work to enhance naturally thin or sparse brow hairs permanently

  • While waxing is not painful, it might be unpleasant or uncomfortable for some. It is a quick procedure and you will likely grow a tolerance to the feeling the more often you have it done.

  • The colour of the hybrid tint on your brows is chosen based on the colour of your hair and personal preference. A hybrid tint is at its darkest in the first 2 days. After these 2 days, the colour will soften and will become a perfect shadow behind your brow.

  • It is all depending on how fast your hair grows. The ideal time frame could be between 2 to 8 weeks. The most common time between waxing for most of our clients is 4 weeks. It would be best to come at regular intervals for the best result. This will ensure the hairs are taken from the follicles at the same time, which will regulate the growth cycle so the hairs are ready to be waxed simultaneously.

  • A hybrid tint combines the principles of a brow tint and henna tint. It is a new product in the beauty industry that is designed to replace henna. It provides a stronger colour than henna and gives a more full and defined look. The hybrid tint is more ash-toned than warm-toned, which better matches natural hair tones.

Cosmetic Tattoo

  • We do numb BUT not before we start, heres why…

    Numbing takes the blood from the surface of the skin and changes the texture of your skin. When we break the skin on our first pass, I need to be able to see how much blood is surfacing and I need to know what your natural skin feels like to know that I'm at the correct depth. After the first past, we apply numbing. AND because we're applying numbing over broken skin it allows the numbing to work more effectively and for longer, meaning you will have nearly no feeling at all after the numbing is applied!

  • Pain is subjective, so everyone does feel it differently. But it's very rare for me to have a client who asks me to pause or can't handle the feeling. More commonly, I get people who kind of like it. I find it tweezing hurts more!

    If you have had tattooing done before, and you were in immense amount of pain and not able to handle the feeling, chances are, your artist was using poor technique and/or tattooing too deep into the skin.

  • What to look for when you are due for a touch up

    • Loss of roughly 50% darkness.

    • Lack of definition

    • Gaps in pigment

    • Colour change

    I'm very particular about when I touchup a clients brows because doing a touchup too soon and too regularly, will allow for higher risk of colour change, scarring and pigment migration. Just because it's been 12 months, doesn't automatically mean you're ready for a touch up. Everyone holds people differently. Some people will be due on the 12 month mark other people will be due after four years.

    If you feel as if you have lots of pigment and darkness in your brows, but they have lost their brown tone and changed colour (most commonly cooled down to a grey) then i would suggest a colour correction instead of a touch up.

  • The colour of the pigment we use is chosen based on the colour of your natural brow hair. We do still take into account your personal preference, eg. if you like a lighter more undetectable result vs a darker more defined result. But as a rule of thumb, we do stick to matching your natural colouring to make sure your tattoo will blend seamlessly with your natural brow. The undertones of your skin also do come into consideration when deciding on how warm or cool to make the pigment.

    Colour is very easy to adjust in the 6 week touch up when you understand colour theory, so it isn’t too crucial to get it perfect in the initial treatment. It is easier to take pigment darker and very hard to go lighter, so we play it safe in the initial treatment to allow for adjustments should we need any.

  • Choice of technique is very much a personal preference but sometimes one certain technique is more suitable for different brow types.

    For example, if i have a client who grows a lot of hair everywhere but the arch, i wouldn’t suggest nano, because they will always have a lot of density where they grow hair and still have noticeably less in the arch.

    These are the kinds of conversations we will have in the consultation before we start to make sure were all on the same page about the final result.

Brow Feathering

  • Brow feathering is not classified as permanent because it does not sit as deep in your skin as a regular tattoo. If the pigment sits too deeply into the skin, it will change colour, and the strokes can blur - which would cause a block brow rather than the desired feathered brow look. This means the feathering will fade over time. Annual touch-ups are necessary when strokes start to lose saturation to redefine your strokes and maintain colour.

    Annual touch-ups are essential while the strokes are still visible, as the pigment sitting under the skin may not be seen on the surface but can be resurfaced post touch up, causing blurriness or block-like brows. If you let your brow feathering fade too much between touch-up appointments, they may need to be completely redone at the full treatment cost. Please read brow feathering policies for more information.

  • While everyone has varying pain tolerance, most clients say brow feathering is not necessarily painful, just a little unpleasant or uncomfortable. Many clients have said feathering hurts LESS than tweezing.

    Some clients have even fallen asleep during the feathering process. Numbing is applied to your brows after the first 'pass’, which makes the second and third ‘pass’ painless. The most off-putting part for most clients is the velcro-like sound the feathering blade makes on the skin.

  • Throughout the consultation, mapping, and aftercare process, we will work together to ensure you get the results you want for your new brows.

    The pigment colour is chosen based on your brow hair colour to ensure a perfect colour match - so your new brows seem entirely natural. The feather strokes follow the natural shape of your brows and the direction of your hair. Over time your strokes will soften and fade down, resulting in the most natural look possible for you new brows.

  • There is no need to avoid going out in public because of the healing process after a fresh treatment. There will be intense colour and some minor flakiness in the first week, but your feathering will not scab, providing the aftercare plan is followed correctly.

  • We allow two and a half hours to three hours for your initial appointment. This ensures we can thoroughly consult, map and draw out your new brow shape, complete the feathering, and provide the aftercare.

    The first touch up will take one and a half hours. We allow another 1 hour. A third appointment would be an additional cost.

    Two hours are allowed for annual feathering touch-ups.

Brow Lamination

  • Brow lamination is a similar process to a lash lift. We apply the first solution to help manipulate and restructure the hairs into a new position, then use a second solution to neutralise the first solution.

  • A brow lamination can last up to 8 weeks and should not be redone before this period. This is to avoid over-processing the hairs, as this can dry and frizz your brow hairs or create an uneven result.

    If the tint has faded from the laminated brows before they’re ready for another lamination treatment, we can re-tint the brows earlier to keep them looking full and bold. We recommend booking for a wax and tint 4 weeks after your treatment to help refresh your lamination and maintain your brows.

  • A brow tint or wax is not compulsory in a lamination treatment, therefore, we give you 2 options when booking. you have the option to book a lamination (including wax & hybrid tint) or naked lamination (excluding wax & hybrid tint)

    Please be sure to advise us of any allergies or previous adverse reactions before starting the treatment.

  • Lamination can create a fuller looking brow by manipulating the position of your hairs. Another method to grow and maintain your brows is to have brows waxed every 4 to 6 weeks with no tweezing or trimming between treatments. Achieving full brows will take longer if brows are sparse from years of over-waxing or tweezing.

    Using lash and brow serums can also help grow your brow hair.

    Otherwise, cosmetic brow tattoo will work to best enhance naturally thin or sparse brow hairs more permanently.

  • Yes, you can choose between both types of tint for your brow lamination. However, we believe the hybrid tint complements the lamination treatment best and we highly recommend it to everyone, so we include that kind in the price.

Lash Lift

  • A lash lift cannot cause damage to natural lashes unless they are done wrong. Any damage caused by an untrained or inexperienced therapist will eventually grow out, and new lashes will surface. A lash lift curls the hair you have on the surface of your hair follicle, so your lifted lashes will always grow out with their usual cycle.

  • A tint is not essential while receiving a lash lift. However, a tint will leave your lashes looking more bold and prominent. The only time a tint may be completely unnecessary is with naturally black or dark lashes. We will always let clients know if a tint is unnecessary.

  • It can take between 8 to 12 weeks for lashes to grow out after a lash lift and tint fully. You must allow lashes to grow out for at least 8 weeks before they are redone. This ensures we aren’t reprocessing the same lashes as the last lift, as it can create frizz or an uneven result. If the tint has faded from the lifted lashes before the 8 weeks, we can re-tint the lashes to keep them looking bold.

  • We apply the first solution to your lashes. This solution will help manipulate and restructure the hairs into a new position, then apply a second solution to neutralise the first.
