All caffeine + alcohol must be completely avoided 24 hours prior to your appointment! Failure to do so will result in automatic reschedule. Caffeine + alcohol both thin the blood and greatly increase flow during and after your procedure. Heavy bleeding will affect visibility and saturation which results in discoloration of pigment or little to no retention.

There are certain medications and prescriptions that need to be avoided prior to your appointment or that can completely rule you out as a candidate for services completely!

AVOID 24 HOURS PRIOR:

Pain medications that are categorized as blood thinners (over counter and Rx)

Caffeine Pills

MEDICATIONS THAT EXCLUDE YOU FROM SERVICES:

Accutane

ANY type of antibiotic

Clients must avoid over exposure to the sun or burning on the face prior to your initial appointment. Sun exposure must be avoided completely for two weeks following your appointment as well – please keep this in mind when scheduling your appointment/vacations! Those who tan excessively, outdoors or indoors, will not have the same lasting retention/results as those who avoid the sun and are generally not good candidates.

ANY AND ALL types of physical activity must be avoided the morning of your appointment and for 5-7 days following the appointment. It does not matter if you are naturally a heavy or light sweater - all physical activity will produce some degree of sweat (salt) which will heavily distort the color of your pigment. The salt in your sweat reacts with the ingredients in the pigment and cools down the shade, resulting in a grayness or ashyness to your color.

All esthetican services will need to be avoided two weeks prior and following your appointment. This includes services such as botox, fillers, microdermabrasion, chemical peels or waxing. You should also avoid home application of retinols/retinoids and acids to the forehead + brow area for the same time frame. Please refrain from cleaning up brow hair prior to your appointment – I like to see your full growth while shaping + creating!

Any of the below items will exclude you as a candidate for services either temporarily or permanently. If any apply to you, please reach out before trying to book an appointment or you may be charged a late cancel fee.
