😂 Oh, you thought we were done?

Your brows may be finished, but I still need approximately 47 photos, 12 angles and a few videos to prove it. 😂

📸 The after shots are part of the appointment at this point!

And when the Combo Brows turn out this good, can you blame me?!

Combo Brows are one of my favourite options because they give you a little bit of everything. We combine fine, natural-looking hair strokes with soft shading to create brows that have both dimension AND definition.

They can be a great choice if you:

✨ Have sparse or uneven areas that need a little extra fullness
✨ Love the look of hair strokes but want more definition than Nano Brows alone
✨ Normally fill in parts of your brows with makeup
✨ Want a more polished, defined result without your brows looking overly heavy
✨ Want to add shape and structure while still keeping some of that natural, hair-like detail

And that’s the beauty of permanent makeup—it isn’t about giving everyone the exact same brows. Your natural hair, skin, face shape, lifestyle and how you normally like to wear your brows all help determine which technique will give YOU the best result.

🙌 And if you’re not sure whether that’s Nano, Powder or Combo Brows, that’s okay! We can figure that out together.

😂 Nice try with the disguise... but I KNOW those brows.

I get it. You loved how dark and defined your brows looked when they were freshly done, and as they soften over time, you may find yourself wanting that darker look back.

🤔 But wanting them darker doesn’t necessarily mean your skin is ready for a refresh.

Immediately after your appointment, your brows are intentionally darker because we know two things will happen: the pigment will settle as they heal AND gradually fade over time.

✨ Permanent makeup is designed to make your life easier, but for some people, low maintenance doesn’t mean no maintenance.

If you prefer a darker brow, there may be a period where you’ll need to lightly shade them in yourself while you wait for your permanent makeup to fade enough for more pigment.

And that part is IMPORTANT. 👇

I generally need to see around 50% fading before refreshing your brows. If there isn’t enough fading, there simply isn’t enough room in the skin to safely add more pigment.

Adding pigment too soon can eventually leave you with oversaturated, solid-looking brows... AKA the dreaded Sharpie brow. 😬 And we definitely don’t want that!

So rather than deciding it’s time based on how many months or years it’s been, let your brows tell us when they’re ready.

Before booking a refresh, send me a clear photo or schedule a consultation so I can take a look. That way, we can make sure they’re ready BEFORE you’re counting on having them refreshed at your appointment.

Not sure? Send me a DM or email. I’m always happy to take a look!

👉👉👉 If you’re booking your brows for the first time OR we’ve already confirmed you’re ready for a refresh, you can book at either location using the link in my bio:

Be honest... are you guilty of wanting your brows refreshed before they’re actually ready? 😂

🎵 Dun dun... dun dun...

Don’t worry... the only thing lurking here is a killer brow transformation. 😏

Powder brows are perfect if you love a soft, filled-in makeup look without having to pencil them in every morning.

They’re especially great for:
✨ Oily skin
✨ Mature skin
✨ Active lifestyles
✨ Anyone who loves a soft, filled-in makeup look
✨ Those who prefer a softly shaded brow over an individual hair-stroke appearance

While your brows will look darker immediately after your appointment, they’ll gradually soften as they heal, leaving you with a beautiful, natural-looking powder finish.

Results typically last 1–3 years (and often longer!) depending on your skin, lifestyle, and aftercare, with an occasional colour boost to keep them looking their best.

Thinking about permanent eyeliner, but feeling a little nervous? 👀

You’re not alone! Because it’s such a delicate area, it’s completely normal to have questions or even a few fears before taking the plunge.

Let’s bust a few of the biggest myths I hear all the time...

❌ Myth: Permanent eyeliner looks the same on everyone.
✅ Reality: Every set of eyes is unique. Your eyeliner should be too! The style, thickness, and shape are customized to complement your eye shape, facial features, and personal style.

❌ Myth: Healing is painful and takes forever.
✅ Reality: Most clients heal within 5–10 days. Following your aftercare instructions helps ensure a smooth healing process and beautiful results.

❌ Myth: Permanent eyeliner doesn’t last very long.
✅ Reality: While some fading over time is completely normal, your results can last 1–5 years, depending on your skin, lifestyle, sun exposure, and aftercare. A colour boost every few years helps keep everything looking fresh.

Permanent eyeliner isn’t about changing how you look—it’s about making your mornings easier, enhancing your natural features, and giving you one less thing to worry about every day.

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard this, I’d be a billionaire by now...🤑

“𝑰’𝒎 𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚’𝒍𝒍 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒇𝒂𝒌𝒆.”

Honestly? I get it.

❌You’ve seen the blue brows.
❌The blocky brows.
❌The ones that looked like they were drawn on with a Sharpie.

So it feels safer to leave your brows alone or keep drawing them on every morning because if you don’t like them, you can simply wash them off.

💯 But permanent makeup has come a long way.

Pigments have evolved. Techniques have advanced. Tools are more precise. And when you choose an experienced artist, permanent makeup becomes a blend of science, artistry, and years of experience.

Natural-looking brows are no longer the exception... they’re the expectation.

Stop letting fear keep you from the brows you’ve always wanted. Book the appointment that can save you time, boost your confidence, and simplify your mornings.

Looking for the right permanent makeup artist? 👀

One of the best things you can do is spend time looking through an artist's work. Every artist has a different style, technique, and approach, so finding someone whose work aligns with the look you're after is so important.

✨One tip when researching artists is to make sure you also look at healed results, not just fresh work. Healed results are one of the best indicators of how your permanent makeup will look long-term.

It's also important to choose an artist who's willing to be honest about what will work for your skin. Not every permanent makeup technique is suitable for every skin type, and I'd much rather give you realistic expectations than promise something your skin can't achieve.

And if you've been wondering whether permanent makeup is right for you... these might sound familiar. ✨

✅ "I overplucked my brows years ago and got tired of drawing them in every day."
✅ "My eyesight is failing me, and my shaky hands are making it more and more difficult to put my makeup on and have it look good."
✅ "My brows have become sparse as I've gotten older."
✅ "I exercise a lot and was tired of sweating my makeup off."
✅ "I could never get my brows to match."
✅ "I wanted to wake up looking more put together."
✅ "I just wanted a little more confidence."

Had you fooled! 😉

And in case you’re wondering, these are Nano Brows. Designed to look just like real brow hairs, they create beautifully shaped brows that soften and settle into the skin, leaving a natural, incredibly realistic result once healed.

Thinking about permanent makeup eyebrows? Whether you’re considering Nano Brows like these, Powder Brows, or Combo Brows, here are a few things to keep in mind before your appointment:

✅ Have inspiration photos? Bring them! They can help me understand the shape, colour, and overall look you’re hoping to achieve.

✅ Planning a vacation? It’s best to schedule your trip at least 14 days after your appointment, or simply book your brows once you return.

✅ Avoid non-prescription blood-thinning medications and supplements for at least 48 hours before your appointment, including aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, niacin, and fish oil. (Always speak with your doctor before stopping any prescribed medications.)

✅ Skip alcohol the night before and the day of your appointment.

✅ Limit caffeine on the day of your appointment, as it may increase sensitivity.

✅ Stop using retinol and products containing retinol around the brow area for at least one month before your appointment.

Ready to wake up with beautifully shaped brows every day? I’d love to help!

Whether you’re looking for a subtle enhancement or a little more definition, every treatment is customized to your features, your lifestyle, and your skin.

One thing I always tell my clients... permanent makeup isn’t one-size-fits-all.

✨Your skin type, lifestyle, age, medications, previous permanent makeup, and overall skin health all play a role in your healed results. While we all have a vision of what we’d love to achieve, sometimes our skin has its own plans.

That’s why every appointment starts with an honest consultation. I’ll always explain what’s realistic for your skin and recommend the approach that will give you the best long-term healed results.

Don’t forget to check out the before & after photos on my website, as well as here on my page.

Immediately after brows are not the same as healed brows.

✨This is one of the biggest things I wish more people knew before booking permanent makeup.

Whether you’re considering powder brows, nano brows, lip blush, or permanent eyeliner, your results immediately after your appointment are 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬.

Fresh pigment sits higher in the skin, so brows often appear darker, bolder, and more defined than they’ll look once they’ve healed.

The same goes for nano brows. Those crisp hair strokes you see right after your appointment will soften as the skin heals, creating a more natural, realistic appearance.

✅That’s why I always encourage people to look at healed results, not just immediately after photos. Healed work gives you the best idea of what your permanent makeup will actually look like once everything has settled.

For this client, our goal was soft, natural-looking powder brows. While they looked darker immediately after her appointment, you can see how beautifully they healed into a natural result that complements her features.

👀Of course, not everyone wants a soft look. Some clients prefer a bolder brow, and that’s absolutely achievable too. The important thing is understanding that your healed results are what we’re working toward... not the fresh results you see on appointment day.

❓If you have questions about permanent makeup, the healing process, or you’re unsure which service is right for you, my DMs are always open. I’m happy to help.

Did you know that healed permanent makeup can sometimes look very different from your same-day results?

👀The funny thing about great brows is that nobody is supposed to notice them.

They shouldn’t walk into a room before you do.
They shouldn’t be the first thing people see.
They shouldn’t look tattooed on.

The goal is simple: create brows that look like they’ve always been yours.

That’s what I love about Nano Brows. Tiny, carefully placed hair-like strokes are used to create shape, balance, and fullness while still keeping things soft and natural.

❤️The best compliment my clients can receive isn’t, “I love your brows.” It’s, “You look refreshed,” without anyone quite being able to put their finger on why.

Every set of brows is customized to the individual sitting in my chair. I take into consideration your natural brow pattern, facial features, skin type, lifestyle, and goals to create a result that feels authentic to you.

💌 And if you’ve been considering permanent makeup but feel nervous, uncertain, or have questions, please know that your comfort is a priority both before you arrive and throughout your appointment. I want you to feel informed, supported, and confident in your decision. Never hesitate to send a message if there’s something you’re wondering about. I’m always happy to help.
