PRE CARE & POST CARE. VERY IMPORTANT!
We strongly advise prospective new clients to book their appointments at least 3-4 months in advance of vacations, Weddings, and Special Occasions. This allows adequate time for healing of both your Initial Appointment as well as a your perfecting session 6-12 weeks after your initial visit. Permanent Makeup cannot be achieved in just one session, this is a multiple-step process! Some clients may require more than two sessions to achieve their desired density and shape. Pre and Post-Care will affect how quickly or slowly you heal. Age, diet, stress, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, general health, sleep/fatigue can all affect your healing process. The more fatigued you are the lower your immune system is and the more likely infection is to occur. Please get plenty of rest and drink lots of water to hydrate prior to your procedure!
