Optimize your Results! 

PLANNING MEANS that you should learn about the process leading UP TO, DURING, and FOLLOWING a procedure, so that you can become an informed client. CHECK OUR OUR TIMING GUIDELINES to find out the best time to schedule your procedure. 

 

Become familiar with the process, before booking a procedure. The more you know and understand, the happier you'll be.  This could help to minimize follow up sessions!

​

I recommend that you take notes and set reminders on your phone or calendar when you find information that pertains to your situation.

​

The happiest clients are those who understand the process and realize that NO TWO CLIENTS will have the same reaction or outcome.  Some skin just responds better than others... so please know that it may take some people longer to achieve their desired outcome, than others.  

 

WE PUT OUR HEARTS AND OUR ART IN YOUR SKIN. WE MAKE IT LOOK LIGHT BUT BEAUTIFUL ON THE FIRST SESSION AS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH COLOR STAYS ONCE HEALED. ALL OF THE COLOR WILL NOT STAY.

 

SO HEALED RESULTS OF THE INITIAL SESSION WILL TELL A STORY... We will see HOW 'YOUR' SKIN TAKES COLOR which will serve as a guide for future applications. 

 

WE BELIEVE IN A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO BROW DESIGN...  CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT WHY. 

This website outlines everything you need to know.  Click on the menu bar for pages that interest you, or if you would like to become even more acquainted with us and our style of work prior to your procedure, we would like to invite you to join in on one of our MONTHLY CONSULTATION EVENTS where all of your questions can be answered.  

​

We want to make sure that you understand that it takes a mutual effort to achieve optimal results. We also want you to know (upfront) that by booking an appointment with us, you are telling us that you have READ, UNDERSTAND & AGREE WITH OUR PROCESSES. THIS WILL HELP ALIGN YOUR EXPECTATIONS WITH OUR REALITY. 

​

For starters, the levels of application are as varied as the numbers of people who want it... what may be "just enough" for one person, may be barely noticeable by another.  The same principle applies to flaws.  

​

Artistic abilities are as unique as there are artists... and we all carry a HUGE RESPONSIBILITY to identify the particular needs of every client and execute a grand performance!

 

So once we execute that Grand Performance, and place our art in your skin... you already understand that skin is a biological organism that is moving and churning on a microscopic scale and is going to be fighting to remove what we just put in.  Add to that, all the various levels of self care required. Some people follow all the rules while others will break all the rules. Some will even break out the peroxide to scrub out their new color. DO NOT DO THAT! Most likely, you're seeing more inflammation than color! So... If you feel yourself move into freak out mode, just go back and admire those before and after pics! Take a breath... calm down... let it heal... and we will take the next steps at your followup session.

IF YOU CANNOT CALM DOWN, CALL US .  : )

1. The Best Surprise is a Pleasant Surprise!

IT IS IMPORTANT READ ALL PAGES TO FIND OUT WHAT PERTAINS TO YOUR PARTICULAR CASE . . .    

YOU NEED YOU TO FULLY UNDERSTAND "THE FULL PROCESS" OF COSMETIC TATTOOING, PRIOR TO COMMITTING TO A PROCEDURE! HAVING REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WILL MAKE OR BREAK YOUR EXPERIENCE. We hope that this information will be helpful enough to avoid confusion.  We also hope to form a long-lasting bond with our clients. 

​

• These guidelines are meant to HELP optimize the effects of your procedure. ​My thoughts are that every little thing you do all add up to help a procedure heal in "better "than if you don't do ANYTHING. You should know that even if you follow these instructions EXACTLY, it does not guarantee that you will have a perfect outcome.  And if you follow NONE of the guidelines, you COULD end up with great results... The body will heal, as it is programmed to heal. These suggestions may or may not help.

​

• Each scenario plays out differently from person to person… just because it didn’t happen to YOU does not mean it won’t happen to your friend, mother, or sister.  And just because it didn’t happen before, does not guarantee that it won’t happen NEXT time.  

 

• I do try to inform clients to help foster the best outcome, but really... I think each person's body and metabolism will determine each person's outcome, regardless of any amount of fussing you may or may not do... The body has ultimate say in how much color stays in and what gets kicked out. The best things you can do is keep the area clean and lightly moisturized. Cool, not hot... Dry, not sweaty...  With that said, please don't think you can push things by going swimming or taking long hot showers. I do know that THAT does matter!  

​

• Please be aware, that when you book your appointment and sign your consent forms, you do so with prior knowledge that YOU HAVE READ AND FULLY UNDERSTAND OUR PROCESSES as CLEARLY OUTLINED - throughout this website.

​

The person who books without reading, just because Dominique Sachse came here, could be in for a surprise. Dominique came in fully informed and followed all protocols. She has great skin that took the pigment well and we used a conservative approach on her that took several sessions to achieve. See her videos! 

 

However, even if you do the same, you should understand that SKIN is not the same from person to person. So if you have any questions now please present them to us in advance by sending us a message, prior to your treatment. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

​

• Don't be afraid. As long as you are a good candidate, AND PATIENT WITH THE PROCESS, we have the confidence and skill to get you to a happy place!  Please read through this website, please take notes of things that pertain to you and set reminders accordingly. Planning for cosmetic tattooing is more like planning for a medical procedure than for a haircut. We want to help to ensure you get YOUR best possible results. The healing process can be rocky for some, so be sure to read all about that as well! 

​

THE DOWNSIDE OF A CONSERVATIVE APPROACH:

The downside of a conservative approach means that you will most likely need follow-ups. Do you know who is MOST appreciative of this process?  THE PERSON WHO HELD THE MOST COLOR! This process prevented their procedure from falling off the cliff! So if your procedure is too light, we dodged a bullet. OUR MAIN GOAL FOR YOUR COSMETIC TATTOOING IS TO HELP MAKE LIFE EASIER We cannot make it perfect.

​

Unlike a hair or nail appointment, it takes A WEEK OR MORE for clients to plan. When you reserve your place on our calendar, no one else can book this time and we cannot just call in another client to take your spot if you cancel or end up not showing up for your allotted appointment time.

​

​During this time, we purchase supplies and arrange our time to merge with you. Our business model relies on serious minded commitment on both ends...

​

You may see the term "Brows 360" on this website.  This is a style, not a procedure.  All this means is that YOU do not have to try and figure out what you need. Our signature technique encompasses the ALL-AROUND BEST combination of Microblading, Ombre and Shading techniques to give you the brows that suite your face, personality and lifestyle!  

​

Multiple sessions are typically required for all procedures. Sessions should be spaced at least 2-3 months apart... Preferably 3 to make sure the skin has reached its final healed stage and the color is no longer changing.  For a lucky few, only one session is needed while most people will need more work which depends on a multitude of variables.

​

Completed work can last roughly 1-5 years, depending on individual circumstances.

​

IF YOU ARE UNDER THE CARE OF A DOCTOR:

• PLEASE ASK YOUR PHYSICIAN IF YOU ARE A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THIS TYPE OF PROCEDURE PRIOR TO SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT.  

​

• If you have any organ, knee, or hip replacement that requires you to pre-medicate with an antibiotic, you will need to do that as well prior to cosmetic tattooing. Please ask your physician for clearance to do this!

​

• Other antibiotics are not recommended within a week prior to or after a procedure as they can work against the retention of color. 

​

• PRESCRIPTION Blood Thinners should not be discontinued without the doctor's permission but may cause extra bleeding. Extra bleeding will reduce the amount of color retention, however, more can be added at follow-up!

​

• THIS IS A GOOD PLACE TO REMIND YOU ABOUT ALLERGY TESTING...

We always recommend that you get a test. Even though allergic reactions are extremely rare, and there is no scientific evidence for or against testing, my feeling is that if we test, we MIGHT catch a problem before it happens.  

​

​

Clients should set up their own appointments and consultation appointments online...

​We encourage you to come in for a consultation to learn more about the procedures that you're interested in. 

• Consultations are recommended but are not mandatory if you are familiar with the process. 

• Allergy testing is not mandatory either, but if you want one, and cannot come to the consultation meeting, you can schedule a QUICK TEST (FREE and can be booked online from this website). Testing should be performed a very minimum of 3-7 days, prior to your procedure date.  

• Color Selection and Design work is not performed at Consultation. 

• Meetings are held once per month in order to answer any final questions prior to your appointment and become more acquainted with us!

• If you choose not to attend, we will assume that you understand and agree to all of our recommendations for planning, aftercare, and healing protocols...

• Most of the important information is found on this website. 

 

​

SET UP YOUR APPOINTMENT DATES (Initial and Followup): 

• 12 weeks after the first session, a touch-up must be performed to correct any hair strokes that may have not adhered. The first procedure does not always stay 100% since this is done on the very surface of the skin.

• If possible, please book your follow-up appointment the same day you ​book your first procedure.  

• If you do not receive a confirmation via email, this means your appointment did not process, and you should try again until you get a confirmation. If you have trouble, please feel free to contact us through the booking tab. You may leave a message there.

• Connie's calendar typically stays booked but you may be able to find a sooner spot if someone has postponed.  When you click on the BOOK NOW button above, you will be given an opportunity to select the artist of your choice and their available dates will present themselves on the calendar! 

​

PLANNING FOR THE DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT - PLEASE HELP US KEEP THINGS LOW STRESS! 

• Having realistic expectations ALSO applies to your appointment time!

• Creating a "PERMANENT MARK" on someone's face is a complex and personal thing that cannot be rushed.  

• Some people require more time and focus than others... this is just the way it is. 

• Just know that we are committed to providing THE BEST POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE for everyone.

• Your arrival time is not your START time. 

• There is a 30-minute window in which to complete paperwork and ask any final questions as we start the numbing process. 

• Appointments that are scheduled at 10 am are the only ones we feel safe in saying will start ON TIME, barring any unforeseen incidents.

• Appointments set at noon or later may be held up due to a variety of reasons. 

• If you have to wait, we ask for your patience while we take good care of the client in the chair.  

• Avoid a TIME CRISIS on your end, by allowing a 3-4 hour window of time to complete your appointment. 

• Do not plan anything right after your appointment just in case we are running behind.

• Make a backup plan in case you have lunch or dinner plans.
