Frequently Asked Questions
Will my permanent makeup look natural?
As long as you don’t request a very dark color,YES. If you’re worried about how the result will look on your face, please book a consultation. We can draw a washable design so you can wear it for a day and see how you feel before committing.
How do I know which permanent makeup service is right for me?

Still unsure? Book a consultation with us. We’ll assess your skin type, consider the look you want, and create a washable design. If you’d like, we can even draw Powder Brows on one side and Nano Brows on the other so you can compare before choosing.
What’s the difference between Nano Brows, Microblading, Powder Brows, and Combo Brows?
Please visit the SERVICES tab in the website menu to see the differences between our services.
In short, the best choice depends on your skin type and the look you prefer—more natural or more makeup-like.
What’s the difference between Nano Brows and Microblading?
Huge difference! Compared with Microblading, Nano Brows are much less invasive, create a more natural and realistic result, and won’t cause scarring.
Microblading: we use a “micro-blade” to make tiny cuts in the skin. Leaves tiny cuts in the skin. Sensitive and mature skin may be more prone to scarring. (Even some younger people are prone to scarring from acne.)
Nano Brows: we use a super-fine needle to make tiny pokes and draw the eyebrow hairs one by one.The tiny openings created by the super-fine needle are usually already closed shortly after the procedure.
Which brow technique is best for my skin type?
Dry, normal, and youthful skin that doesn’t scar easily from acne:
All techniques can work — Nano Brows, Powder Brows, or Microblading.
Sensitive skin:
Nano Brows or Powder Brows.
Oily or combination skin with larger pores but sometimes feels dry:
Nano Brows or Powder Brows.
Very oily skin — with large pores and a consistently shiny appearance:
Powder Brows only.
Mature skin with good fullness around the brow bone or a good amount of body fat:
Nano Brows or Powder Brows.
Mature skin with a slim body type and more prominent, bony brow bones:
Powder Brows.
Can I see and approve my brow shape before the procedure begins?
Yes. Before the procedure, we will always draw out the entire design to show you how your brows will look once finished. We won’t begin the procedure until you have approved every single detail.
Will you choose the brow shape and color for me, or can I customize them?
Please show us some inspo photos so we can understand what kind of style you’re looking for. We can create almost any look, but we need to know what style you want. If you’re not sure what you like, please visit the GALLERY tab in our website menu, screenshot the photos you like, and show them to us during your consultation.
We will then recreate the design on your face with pencils and show you how it looks. You can customize the shape, thickness, arch, and other details if needed.
EVERY SET OF BROWS IS DIFFERENT! We never use one brow shape for everyone.
Does permanent makeup hurt?
We use numbing cream for all procedures. Even without numbing cream, most clients describe the discomfort as similar to tweezing. Permanent makeup needles work very superficially in the skin, and there is usually little to no blood throughout the procedure. Traditional tattoo needles go much deeper into the skin, so compared with a regular tattoo, the pain level of permanent makeup is very minimal.
In fact, many of our clients nap during the procedure! However, if you twitch or move while sleeping, we may have to wake you up and chat with you a little.
