WHAT TO EXPECT:

• The appointment will last approximately 2 hours in the following order of events:
• Consultation/consent forms & before photo
• Brow/Lip Shaping – we work together to determine the new shape
• Surgical marker and numbing cream is applied – 20 minutes wait time
• Colour is determined together
• Procedure – roughly 30-45 minutes for brows, up to 1 hour for lips
• The sensation is similar to waxing/threading and working in the epidermis layer of the skin. Most clients rate it a 4/10 pain wise.

• Area will likely appear red and swollen for a few hours so plan accordingly
• Colour will appear 10% darker than it will eventually be for brows, and 60% darker for lips
• Strictly follow your aftercare instructions provided to you for the next 14 days
