not take at all.
HENNA BROWS
To ensure you get the darkest, longest-lasting stain possible:
• Exfoliate up until 1-2 days before your henna. Henna works by dyeing the top
few layers of your skin, and it seems to stain best when there is just a couple
of days of skin buildup.
• Depending on where you plan to have your design applied, it may be helpful to
remove any hair on the area before your appointment. This helps the henna
paste to achieve full contact with your skin and ensure an even stain.
• If you are having your palms or feet done, you may need to plan for someone
else to be your driver for the day.
• On the day of your appointment, keep your skin clean and oil/lotion-free. Oils
and lotions will interfere with the henna stain.
• Schedule spray tans for after your henna is applied (ideally, at least 24 hours
later).

be undertaken until the area has completely healed and that time frame is at the
discretion of the technician. A 4 to 6 week healing time is required before any
further work can be done.
In order to let your brows heal well avoid water on the brow area, makeup on the
brow area, the gym, a sauna or swimming pool for 7 days. Once the area has
completely healed (approximately one week) you may consider wearing sunblock
recommend avoiding sun exposure for 2 full weeks after your services. Once
completely healed you should wear sunblock on your brows (applied during your
skin care routine) to protect your results from prematurely fading.
Strong chemicals, Glycolic Acids or peels of any kind may cause lightening of the
pigments. Always call and check with your technician if in any doubt prior to usage
of these skin products or procedures. DO NOT PICK OR PULL at the treated area
as it will result in pigment loss or scarring. We can tell when the area has been
picked or scratched at.

PEEL, 3-FADE
You may notice whiteness or blanching around the area – this is quite normal and
will subside with in 12 hours and is due to the Lidocaine.
If you have any lymphatic fluid (plasma) or blood weeping from the area you may
gently clean the area with saline, cool pre-boiled water and gauze blotting gently
dry to remove any moisture.
With clean hands and a cotton swab you may apply a fine layer of after care balm
to the treated area.
Repeat this treatment up to 3 times daily if the area feels tight.
Some clients report seeing the ink fade almost completely then reappearing. This
is not uncommon and sometimes part of the healing phase.
After the fine scabbing has sloughed away you will see a different hue to the
colour implanted.

Following this makeup tattoo aftercare procedure will ensure the formation of thin scabs thus more colour retention. Keep out of the sun for 7 days after you get your tattoo.
● FOR LIPS ONLY: Use Aquaphor to keep the tattoo protected while it heals and to soothe any discomfort such as itching or dryness. Avoid applying lip balms, lipstick, or other lip products during this time. Apply Aquaphor every 30-60 minutes for the first week to keep lips from drying out.
● Week 2 or 3: After the procedure is completely healed, you may go back to your regular cleansing and makeup routine. Avoid scrubbing the area. Use sun block after the procedure area is healed to protect from sun fading. DO NOT: Scrub, rub, or pick at the epithelial crust that forms. Allow it to flake off by itself. If it is removed before it is ready, the pigment underneath it can be pulled out.
● Use any makeup on the tattooed area for at least 14 days.
● Use any Retin-A, Glycol Acids, or Neosporin in the tattooed area during or after healing.
● Swim in a pool for 14 days after your procedure.
