Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a good candidate for permanent makeup?
Most people are suitable for permanent makeup, but there are some health reasons that can hinder the healing process or compromise your ideal results or your health. You are not a good candidate for permanent makeup if you are:
-
Pregnant or breastfeeding
-
Have a history of Keloids or Hypertrophic scarring
-
Diabetic (require a doctor's note)
-
Chemotherapy (consult your doctor)
-
Viral infections and/or diseases
-
Epilepsy
-
Pacemaker or major heart problems
-
Organ transplant
-
Skin irritations or Psoriasis near the treated area (rashes, sunburn, acne, etc.)
-
Sick (cold, flu, etc.)
-
Accutane in the past year
-
Heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, poor general health
-
Any treatment, medication or illness that compromises the immune system/healing would make you NOT a candidate for micropigmentation or permanent makeup procedures.
Do I have to be 18 to get any permanent makeup services done at The Brow Loft 307?
Yes. You do have to bring a state issued ID or driver's license to show that you are 18 years of age or older.
What do I need to know about long term care?
A good sunscreen, daily moisturizer with spf or a sunscreen stick should be applied daily AFTER 14 days into healing and is required to help keep color true. As with any tattoo, sun exposure will make the color soften faster. Fading speed depends on your skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, pigment color used, broken capillaries, and if any chemical peels were done after your procedure. If you are planning a chemical peel, laser treatment or other medical procedure, please inform the technician that you have had a cosmetic tattoo. Careful application must be taken to avoid affecting the tattooed area.
How do I prepare for my appointment?
-
24 hours prior to your appointment, DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL OR CAFFEINE.
-
72 hours prior to your appointment, DO NOT TAKE ADVIL or other blood thinners such as Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Niacin, Fish Oil or Vitamin E unless medically necessary.
-
Botox should be done 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after the procedure.
-
Avoid booking during your menstrual cycle as it may increase your pain.
-
No waxing, tanning or tinting 3 days before appointment. if going on a trip, please make sure that it is 14 days after you have your procedure done.
-
Arrive with no makeup on your eyebrows or forehead. A lot of wiping of pigment takes place and makeup can get ruined, so save yourself the hassle!
-
Be prepared for your brows to look a little red and really dark! Don't worry, they will fade in color between 30-50%.
Will permanent makeup work well for me?
If you have mature or extremely oily skin, the microblading technique will NOT work well for you. The constant production of oil will cause the hairstrokes to heal with a diffused, softer look. Your end result will look more powdered than you would expect. In this case, other techniques could be considered. If you have little to no existing hair, your tattoo will appear more 2-dimensional than those clients who have more hair naturally. If you are a frequent smoker, your pigment may fade sooner. If you are iron deficient or Anemic, your pigment may fade sooner and bleeding/bruising may occur during and after the procedure.

Is the studio and equipment safe?
Yes! Everything that is used during any procedure is disposable. This includes all blades and cartridges. Needles are discarded safely and properly into a sharps container. This means that each set-up for each new client is discarded safely afterwards. The studio is thoroughly disinfected before opening and after each procedure throughout the day.
