Frequently Asked Questions
What is Permanent Makeup?
Permanent make up is a semi-permanent tattoo that is created to give the illusion of make up on the skin. In order to do this, our licensed professionals use a sterile disposable needle cartridge to deposit pigment into the skin to achieve the powdery make up look. This technique lasts up to 3 years depending on skin type, lifestyle and how well the client takes care of the brows after the procedure. This technique is suitable for all skin types.
Does it hurt?
Our priority for our clients is to give them the most comfortable experience in our chair. We apply on topical anesthesia throughout the entire procedure so our clients feel little to no pain at all.
How often do I have to come back for a touch up?
We recommend clients to come back for their first touch up after the initial procedure to perfect the brows in case some areas of the skin did not retain pigment after the first session. Once our client completes the second session with us, we recommend a once every two year touch up for combination and dry skin and once a year for our oily skin clients.
If I had previous work done, can I still book?
Please book for "color corrections" under the services provided. We ask that you send us a clear photo of you bare brows without any make up on before booking through our email at browsbyshellly@gmail.com. Once approved, you can go ahead and book for the service. All brows that are done before are considered a correction, please do not book for virgin brows.
