6 WEEKS BEFORE

Discontinue the use of ALL Chemical Exfoliating treatments and products, including but not limited to Retin-A, Retinol, Niacinamide, Benzoyl Peroxide, Kojic Acid, Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA), Azelaic Acid, Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid, ALL Acne treating products, and products with high contents of Citrus Fruit Acids at least 6 weeks prior. Ignoring this will be grounds for your appointment to be cancelled, deposit forfeited and the full remaining balance being charged. These products should also be avoided on permanent makeup or brow area after procedure to prevent premature fading.

Eyebrow and eyelash growth serums should be discontinued 6 weeks prior to your appointment if receiving eyebrow or eyeliner services.

Ignoring this will be grounds for your appointment to be rescheduled and deposit forfeited. These products should also be avoided on permanent makeup or brow area after procedure to prevent premature fading.

2 weeks before

Botox and filler on the forehead, temple, and eye area should be avoided 2 weeks prior to procedure.

Antibiotics, steroids and other medications will greatly impact healed results. Clients are encouraged to avoid these 2 weeks prior to appointment.

1 week before

Avoid sun and tanning one week prior to procedure. Showing up to your appointment with visible recent sun damage will be grounds for your appointment to be forfeited. 

Lash extensions must be removed if you are receiving eyeliner or lash enhancement procedures.

If receiving eyebrow services, your eyebrows must be groomed. However, no brow waxing, tinting, tweezing or threading 72 hours prior.

If receiving permanent lip blushing, lips must be properly exfoliated, healthy and hydrated. If there's a history of cold sores you must contact your primary care physician to start a prescription of anti viral medication. Failure to take required medication will result in a breakout post procedure that will greatly impact healed results and the possibility of future procedures.

48 hours before

Ask your physician if you can discontinue the use of ALL NSAIDs, Aspirin, Niacin, or Advil/Ibuprofen 48 hours before procedure. Choosing to take medications such as these prior to your procedure will make your blood thin, which will cause bleeding during your procedure. Blood pushes the pigment out of place and results in poor pigment retention. Please note poor pigment retention will cause you to need additional touch up appointments for which you will be billed for.

Discontinue the use of Vitamin E, Fish Oil, Prenatal Vitamins, Nutritional Shakes, "Hair, Skin, Nail" supplements 48 hours prior to procedure.

Blood pressure, thyroid and other daily medications may strongly impact healed results.

24 hours before appointment

Do not work out 24 hours before procedure

NO alcohol or caffeine 24 hours before procedure, please note that decaffeinated drinks sometimes has small amounts of caffeine which will affect your procedure. Ignoring this request will cause your blood to be thin and results in poor pigment retention, which means you will require more touch up appointments that will be billed at an additional rate.

We require bare face on the day of your appointment. Your face should be free of all makeup. Lash extensions must be removed if you are receiving eyeliner or lash enhancement procedures.

Please Note: Failing to follow instructions will greatly impact your procedure and can cause you to need additional appointments that will be billed to you.
