Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between microblading and ombré brows?
Microblading uses small hair-like strokes while ombré brows deliver a soft powder-filled gradient effect, ideal for oily skin or a makeup-like look.
Is scalp micropigmentation permanent?
SMP is considered semi-permanent and may fade over 3–5 years depending on skin type and sun exposure.
Can I still use hair growth products with SMP?
Yes, but we recommend avoiding them for 10 days post-procedure. We will provide safe guidelines.
How do I know which pigment shade is right for me?
We do a thorough skin analysis and custom-mix pigment to match your natural undertone and hair color.
What if I have a previous tattoo or botched PMU?
We offer correction services and will assess your suitability during consultation.
How long does each procedure take?
Most appointments last 2–4 hours depending on the service and design complexity.
Can you mimic a natural hairline with SMP?
Yes, we specialize in naturalistic hairline replication that complements your facial structure.
Is numbing cream used?
Yes, topical anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort throughout the procedure.
Do I need to shave my head before a scalp session?
Not necessarily. We tailor the treatment to your style preference—buzzed or long hair blends.
Will I need a consultation first?
Yes, all clients begin with a personalized consultation to evaluate goals, health history, and expectations.
Is there downtime after lip blush?
Expect mild swelling and tenderness for 24–48 hours. Full healing may take 5–7 days.
Can I wear contact lenses during brow treatment?
We advise removing contact lenses during brow or eyeliner services to avoid irritation.
Do men get PMU?
Absolutely. We provide discreet and masculine enhancements for beards, brows, and scalp.
How often are touch-ups required?
Initial touch-up is done at 6–8 weeks. Maintenance may be needed every 12–18 months.
