Cosmetic Tattoo Eyebrows 2 hours. Brow Sculpt 30 minutes. Tattoo Removal 1 hour.

Brow Sculpt

We do not recommend waxing over areas that have been in contact with active skin treatments in the past 7 days before your appointment to avoid skin grazing.

Unfortunately no. A Brow Sculpt includes: shape, wax, tint, trimming and your brow artist will show you how to fill in your brows.

We do not recommend having your brows tinted if you have just had a fresh spray tan as this will cause discolouration of the tint. It is recommended to have your Brow Sculpt done prior to your spray tan appointment.

On average a brow tint can last anywhere 10 to 14 days on the hair only. Oilier skin types have shorter retention and it can possibly last up to 7 days on the skin.

By keeping your freshly tinted brows makeup free, avoid using active skin care around the brow area and try not to get your brows wet for the first 24 hours.

Cosmetic Tattooing

This method is the most natural looking form of eyebrow tattooing. Super fine hair like strokes are tattooed into the skin behind existing brow hair to create density, definition and to help fill in gaps for the perfect brow. With results lasting up to 12 to 18 months, keep your brows updated with current trends without having to commit to a traditional brow tattoo.

Powder fill gives a more defined, solid appearance, and is usually a longer lasting option, whereas hair stroke, as the name suggests, involves cosmetic tattooing on tiny lines and strokes in a design that gives the appearance of hair. Hair strokes alone, with no background, do require more re touching than other methods. A good, longer lasting option can be a combination of these, where a lighter powder fill will be done at the first appointment, then hair strokes over the top, to give texture and a realistic, hair like appearance. Both techniques are the same price.

No. Our touch up service is only for our existing clients. If you have had your brows done elsewhere, we do not go over them until they have completely faded. Once your brows are ready to be re done, full prices apply.

If you have had your brows done previously, please send through a photo in natural lighting without any make up on. We will determine whether we can cover them or if you need to book in for removal first. We offer laser free tattoo removal.

Your skin will take a total of 6 weeks to completely heal and show true results.

Pain threshold levels differ amongst individuals. Some clients may experience slight discomfort and a stinging sensation. Be mentally prepared as it is cosmetic tattooing, it is not pain free.

Pigments are not implanted into the skin as deep as traditional tattoos, the area will naturally fade over time. Skincare routine will also affect the lasting effect of the pigment: clients who tan, or use products with AHA or Glycolic Acid, will fade faster as the skin resurfaces faster. Each individual's colour retention within the skin will vary. To maintain the brows looking fresh, a touch up is suggested every 12 months.

Please disclose any medical conditions when making a booking. We may require you to bring additional information from your GP to your consultation. Oily skin does not hold pigment as well as other skin types, so Ombre Brows or Powdered Brows may be a better option. Additionally, the treatment is not suitable for women who are pregnant or breast feeding, anyone under the age of 18, anyone undergoing or who has recently undergone chemotherapy, anyone using Accutane, anyone with a heart condition or using heart medications, those with Diabetes without a physician's note, anyone prone to scarring or keloid scarring, anyone with skin disease or irritations, anyone who has had Botox in the last 2 weeks, and anyone with a dark tan or chemical peel in the last 3 weeks. Lastly, those allergic to lidocaine, prilocaine, benzocaine, tetracaine or epinephrine, or anyone with any serious medical conditions, may require a physician's note.

No, you must allow a minimum of 6 weeks for the skin to fully heal.

Absolutely not, it is desirable to have as many natural hairs as possible to achieve a natural look. We will shape your brows prior to starting your brow tattoo procedure.

Your artist will help you choose a colour that is best suited to your brow hair in order to get a more natural and blended result. We have a large range of pigments, sometimes 2 or more pigments can be mixed to create a unique colour for you.

We use iron oxide pigments that will fade over time and are naturally absorbed by the skin. Iron oxides are innocuous, harmless and perfectly safe for implantation into your skin.

It is not recommended to use any kind of foundation around your brows, the skin should be kept clean until the scabbing and flaking has finished. This can take up to 2 to 3 weeks.

Yes, swelling and redness will subside within 24 hours. The colour of your brows will be dark for the first few days but will soften as the healing process starts.

The area can be a little sore for the first few hours and tender to touch for a couple days.

There is minimal risk of infection as strict hygiene standards are maintained. Sterile, disposable, single use needles from sealed packets are used.

Our Instagram displays recent work on our clients and is updated daily.

Technically, semi permanent micro pigmentation is considered permanent because the colour is implanted into the upper dermal layer of the skin and cannot be washed off. However, the pigment is implanted more superficially than a traditional tattoo, so it naturally fades over time.

Lamination

Lamination is a particular technique which is used to create full, feathery and defined natural brows.

We transform your brows by using a patented perming system to keep individual brow hairs in place and in a desired shape.

Approximately 6 to 8 weeks.

Yes, as long as it is 6 weeks after your tattoo session.

Absolutely. The end result is the same as using a brow gel with longer lasting results.

The service includes waxing, tweezing, trimming and sculpting with HD brow products.

As a precautionary measure, not suitable for women during pregnancy.

HIFU

High intensity focused ultrasound is a treatment that promotes non surgical face lifting and skin tightening to a number of problem areas. This is a non needle, non surgical technology which reaches deep into the skin to visibly tighten the desired areas.

This technology precisely targets the SMAS layer in the skin. This is the layer that surgeons pull back when doing a face lift. This causes new collagen stimulation which provides long term tightening of the skin. Areas include submental, the area under the chin, the neck, the cheeks and the upper face.

Results from ultrasound skin tightening are instant and progressive, meaning you will continue to see improvements for up to 6 months post treatment.

Your skin may appear red for a few hours after the treatment. It is common when treating the face and neck that it can feel quite tender and this may last from 2 to 21 days. You may experience slight swelling, tingling or tenderness for a few days after.

Results that are equivalent to a surgical facelift require three treatments three months apart. After this, results can be maintained by ongoing, periodical treatments.

Yes a $500 non refundable deposit is required at the time of booking.

Unfortunately just like many other beauty treatments, we do not recommend having the treatment done during this time. Generally, it is not recommended to receive laser treatments or other energy based treatments such as HIFU or radiofrequency skin tightening during pregnancy, due to the lack of information regarding their effects on the foetus.
