• If you regularly get your eyebrows shaped, waxed, threaded or tinted, please do so at least 3 days before your appointment. (we prefer you to come with as much brow hair as you can so that we can see how much you have to work with)
• If you have been on prescription Accutane, you must wait at least 12 months before receiving this procedure.
• You must stop using Retinol 2 weeks prior to your appointment & avoid using it for 2 weeks following your appointment. (Use of retinol in the area – for the life of the brows – will cause excessive fading. )
• If you get Botox regularly please get that done than 2+ weeks before your appointment. This is to ensure we can make your brows as symmetrical as possible.
• Avoid chemical peels at least 4 weeks prior to your appointment.Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for 2 weeks before and after your procedure. Do not come to your appointment with a sunburn. In this case, email us at least 48 hours prior to your appointment to reschedule.
