(Nano/Machine Hair Strokes, Powder, or Combo)
Initial Session: $500
- Duration: 2.5 – 3 hours
- Reserved for clients who have never had previous work done on their brows or have had previous work removed.
- If you have had work done by another artist and are requesting a cover-up, please contact us before booking to determine if you’re ready for additional work and whether there will be an additional cost.
Beauty in the Ink cannot guarantee how long your results will last as each individual’s skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare routine affect longevity.
What to Expect
At the beginning of your brow appointment, we will:
- Discuss your overall goals and daily makeup routine.
- Review inspiration pictures.
- Assess your current brow shape and hair growth.
- Determine the best brow style for your goals and facial structure.
Pain Level: Most clients rate the discomfort as 2-3 out of 10. Numbing is applied throughout the procedure, and many clients feel relaxed or even fall asleep.
Brow Pre-Care Instructions
To ensure the best results, please follow these guidelines:
- 24 hours before: Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
- 48 hours before: Avoid aspirin and ibuprofen (they thin the blood).
- One week before: Stop taking fish oil and Vitamin E (they thin the blood).
- Two weeks before/after: Avoid Botox.
- Two weeks before: Do not get facials or chemical peels.
- 24 hours after: Refrain from working out.
- Do not arrive with sunburned skin.
- Three days before: Avoid tweezing, waxing, tinting, or threading your brows.
Brow Post-Care Instructions
For the first 7-10 days, ONLY use the provided products on your brows.
Aftercare Routine:
- Day of procedure: Blot brows occasionally to remove excess lymph fluid and prevent crusting.
- For 7-10 days:
- Gently cleanse brows once daily using the provided cleanser.
- Pat (do not rub) in the direction of hair growth—no back-and-forth motion.
- No need to rinse—simply pat dry with a clean paper towel.
- Apply a pea-sized amount of ointment using two fingers, dabbing lightly in the direction of hair growth (do not overapply—less is more!).
- Protect your brows from direct sun exposure (wear a hat or sunglasses; no topical SPF until after day 10).
- Avoid Botox treatments for at least two weeks after the procedure.
Additional Tips
- Avoid exercise, excessive sweating, saunas, hot tubs, and hot baths for 48 hours after your procedure.
- Do not scratch, rub, or pick at your brows—let any scabbing or flaking fall off naturally to avoid premature pigment loss.
- Itching is normal—if your brows feel dry or tight, apply the provided ointment up to four times per day (thin layer only).
- Your aftercare kit is designed to last through both your initial session and 6-8 week touch-up. If you need a replacement, additional kits are available for $15.
