BEFORE YOU BOOK, PLEASE READ . . . 

To make sure you’re fully prepared and know what to expect, please take a moment to review the following important pages before your appointment:• CHECKLIST PAGE Everything you need to know about preparing for your procedure.• AFTERCARE PAGEHow to care for your new work so your results heal beautifully and last longer.• OUR UNIQUE STYLE PAGELearn about Connie’s signature approach—and why we do things a little differently here.• PROCEDURE PRICING & MAINTENANCE INFOComplete details on pricing for new procedures, corrective work, and future maintenance.

 

Descriptions, much like art, are subject to interpretation. As far as BROWS go... we do not rely on labels... we create eyebrows that look as realistic as possible or at least like EXPERTLY APPLIED MAKEUP!  

​​

Do not schedule your procedure on price alone.

Consider the facts. MAKE SURE YOU'VE SEEN PICTURES AND LIKE THE ARTIST'S WORK! However, IF YOU HAVE ZERO (or close to zero) BROW HAIR, you should schedule with a master artist. On the other hand, if you have great brows and only need a subtle fill in, a student artist, or an apprentice under Connie's direction may be a great solution for you.

​

Be sure to schedule a consultation with your artist to make sure the vibe is right and to see samples of their work.​​

​

Appointments require a booking fee of 50% to reserve your spot on our calendar.  The balance will become due on the day of your procedure.

​

We analyze your face shape, how the brows rest on your face and look at it from every direction and analyze how they interact with your expressions as well. Much like facets in a diamond... each angle reflects something different and all need to move together to create a natural-looking brow.

​

Microblading is a tattoo technique that uses a hand tool rather than a machine to create detailed hair strokes that look like natural eyebrows.

 

We take that technique to another level! Our unique style places more intention on PLACEMENT of the strokes and how they pertain to the face - as a whole. 

​

As artists, we start our sessions with clients sitting in an upright position, NOT reclined! Think about it... when artists paint a portrait, they use an easel for a reason. It's far easier to capture the realism of the subject when viewing as the person as they would normally be seen, rather than drawing on a table.

 

NEGATIVE SPACE is just as important as the strokes! 

So we apply just enough strokes to improve shape and density, and deliberately leave some empty spaces - just like real brows. When you fill in every empty spot, the brows take on a rigid, mechanical look that makes your face look strange to the average person.

 

We don't consider the job complete on session, but your brows will still look MUCH better all the same. We operate on a layering process, where we build into your desired results over a period of 1-3 sessions to prevent over-loading the skin with too much pigment at once. So our initial work is applied more superficially than the more traditional methods in order to see how the selected colors and pressure heal in.  Then once healed, we can tell if pressure or color needs to be adjusted on subsequent sessions.

 

 Microblading, depending on the depth, can be expected to last between 6 months to a few years, once follow-up sessions have reached your desired goals. Longevity depends on individual skin type, how well the aftercare is attended to, and lifestyle choices. Healed results are as unique as each client’s skin type.​

​

 * Ombré Brows or Powder Brows

Ombré & Powder brows both produce an almost transparent, super soft powdery brow. Ombre style creates a look that is a bit more trendy where it is softer toward the front and top of the brow, and darker at the base and tail. Powder brows basically enhance your own brows by creating a shadow of color to enhance the shape and density.  This technique actually holds the perimeter shape of the brow better than Microblading and is a great fit for all skin types. The application also fits any personality as the technique can be adjusted from super subtle to more defined and bold. This technique is done using a cosmetic tattoo device with a single-use cartridge. The pigment is also applied to the more superficial layers of the skin and can last up to a few years depending on individual skin type and lifestyle.

​​​

​

 * Hair Stroke Brows by Machine

Ultra-fine tattoo needles embed hair strokes just beneath the skin's surface. This work resembles MicroBlading and it is actually a bit more gentle on the skin. This ultra-fine needlework is perfect for creating the look of individual fine hair strokes to build the illusion of fuller, more defined, and shapely brows. And if you're looking for a long-lasting procedure, this technique is a great alternative to Microblading as it can last between1-5 years once follow-up sessions have reached your desired goals! This too is dependent upon individual skin type and lifestyle.

​

 * Combo Brows  (Connie's Favorite!)

Let's get CREATIVE by combining techniques of Microblading & Ombré or Powder shading. This style creates beautiful dimension and more density than Microblading or Nano Brows alone. The additional shading creates results that are beautiful and can be expected to last 1-3 years depending on individual skin and lifestyle.

EYELINER GALLERY

• Soft Lash Enhancement (upper and lower lids)

• Natural Eyeliner w/ Makeup Effect Shadowing

• Volume Eyeliner (Typically upper lids only)​

​​

​

LIP GALLERY 

• Pale Lip Blush

• Full Lip Color  

• Corrective Color

Who wouldn’t want a healthy blush of color on your lips? After all, permanent lip color doesn't transfer to your teeth, wine glass, or your partner's collar! Color no longer bleeds and your lips stay pretty during dinner. All you need is a bit of gloss to moisturize them and make them pop!  Be confident that your lips will always be on point.

​

IMPORTANT LIP INFORMATION:

1. If you get cold sores or have ever had one in the past you will need an antiviral prescription from your doctor before a lip procedure. Follow your Physician's dosage instructions and take half of the prescribed medication in the days prior to your appointment and the other half in the days following your appointment.

​

2. Lips typically require 2-4+ sessions in order to achieve the amount of color desired. This is because of the extra moisture around the mouth as well as the extra movement required to talk, eat, drink, etc. ​

​

3. Pigment may wear off over time, which will require a color boost every couple of years.

 

• Melanated Lips (requires consultation as some skin may result in excessive hyperpigmentation. Please send photos to 713-340-4422 for assessment).

​

Color can be applied in either a natural hue or a more vivid one and you can always adjust by applying different shades of lipstick over your permanent lip color. Medical Grade topical anesthetics are used to help reduce discomfort during treatments. If by chance you need more numbing than most people, you can arrange for our Nurse Practitioner to administer local injections of Lidocaine. 

​

​

Beauty Marks . . . .  $100

(Complimentary with any cosmetic tattoo procedure)

Freckles? We think they are cute too, but as fake freckles fade over time, they could take on an unnatural hue and could become problematic to correct. For this reason, we JUST SAY NO to fake freckles.

​

Scars & Stretchmarks - Color Camouflage 

LIGHT SCARS & STRETMARKS are treated by stippling in various shades of color to help minimize the appearance of scars that are LIGHTER than the surrounding skin.

​

DARK scars, stretch marks, or birthmarks that are purple, red, or brown should NOT be color corrected with a lighter shade pigment due to the instability of the pigment and how the color changes over time. 

​

Scars & Stretchmarks - Texture & Resurfacing

This procedure will attempt to remodel the skin to smooth out scars and stretchmarks.  DARK stretchmarks that are purple, red, or brown should be allowed to heal to a lighter shade before reworking the skin and should not be color corrected with a lighter shade pigment due to the instability of the pigment and how the color changes over time. 

​

If we are unable to perform services, I will refer you to a laser specialist. PLEASE TEXT US for more information: 713-443-8999.

​

Future Maintenance 

Before you step into the world of cosmetic tattooing, you will have to realize that future maintenance will be required to keep things looking fresh.  Think about the paint on your home, car, or boat. It has a limited life span - so does your permanent makeup. Once the initial phase and at least 1-2 follow-up sessions have been completed, you should plan to return every 1-3 years to renew the work.  How often you will need to return greatly depends on your own level of satisfaction. What is enough for one person is not enough for another.

 

PERMANENT vs SEMI-PERMANENT

We prefer the term COSMETIC TATTOOING over "permanent" makeup, or "semi" permanent makeup because neither of the two latter terms is accurate.  It's called Permanent" because it cannot be washed off, but it does not remain stable forever. Some of the culprits of fading include exposure to sunlight, chlorine, saltwater, etc, and chemicals such as those found in skincare products like Retin-A, glycolic acids, alpha-hydroxy acids, etc. 

 

The newer generation of artists call it "SEMI-PERMANENT" and may say that it fades in 18 months. However, permanent makeup pigment does not have an expiration timer on it so there is no truth in saying that.  Its staying power depends on how deep the artist applies it.  Some artists have a very light touch while others cut like they are dicing steak.  It also depends on the client's lifestyle and personal habits. 

​

AND BTW... Our body chemistry, metabolism, biological & hormonal changes all play a role in the erosion of the permanent makeup color over time. For these reasons, color refreshment will ultimately become necessary.

​

Why do body art tattoos last longer than PMU?

Body art is performed with more concentrated pigments and applied deeper into the skin TO MAKE IT LAST A LIFETIME.  NOT a great plan for PMU. Pigment in the face is constantly exposed to the sun and the tissue has an extra blood supply which metabolizes the pigment at a much more accelerated rate.  These factors cause the colors to change over time. At some point, you may begin to notice that the gold tones within the eyebrow pigments are vanishing first. This is the normal course of color degradation and what was once brown, may fade to a lighter brown or it may fade gray. NO WORRIES!  Now we just need to add some warmer tones back in the mix to freshen things up a bit.
