HELLO, GORGEOUS!

If you are visiting my site, you are either considering permanent makeup, needing a touch-up or a modification to an existing permanent makeup site.  The method I use to apply permanent makeup is the Softap® hand method. It is important that you do your research and choose a well-trained, licensed, certified and insured professional. Equally important is your safety. I utilize one-time use , 100% disposable tools that are then disposed of properly. Equipment that is not sterilized properly can transmit diseases and I refuse to compromise your safety, which is why I choose disposable tools.

Along with finding a certified technician, it is important to make sure they are an artist! Permanent makeup is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Each brow, eyeliner and lip is customized for you and your face! Ask to look through the portfolio of any artist (mine included!) you are considering and make sure to see "before", "immediately after", and "healed" results. This should be one of your biggest factors in finding a permanent makeup artist. I will work on your face as if it were my own. This is not the time to bargain shop!

It is important to me that my clients are comfortable and full of confidence when they walk into their appointment-not full of questions.  I hope you find my website informative, as well as user-friendly. I look forward to meeting you and answering any questions you may have.  Contact me for a free consultation at 308-708-9244.

Procedure Prep

The Prep: You will get much better results when you properly prep. It all starts with a good canvas! The eyebrow area must be healthy, strong, non-sensitive and non-irritated.  Here’s how to get your skin ready for the procedure.

In order to avoid excessive bleeding and poor color retention, please avoid the following for 24-48 hours before your appointment: Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Alcohol, large amounts of Caffeine, any sort of blood thinners, pain killers, or recreational drugs.

Do not receive a facial/peel of any kind 2 weeks prior to appointment

Do not tan two weeks prior or have sunburned face

Discontinue Vitamin A/Retinol products one month prior to treatment

Do not work out the day of the procedure.

Do not have botox 6 weeks prior (12 weeks preferable)

Do not wax or tint your eyebrows 3 days before the procedure.

The day of your appointment please come at the time of your appointment, and have a clean face. Meaning no spray tans or anything that would alter the appearance of your skin undertones.

You'll need to have the following purchased for immediately after your appointment; 

1. Paper towels (for blotting after wash)

2. Q-Tips (to apply moisturizer)

3. Mild soap like Dial, Cethaphil or Neutrogena.

* I will provide aftercare ointment. However, if you are sensitive to many things I'd suggest having some Aquaphor ointment purchased for your post care ointment. Do NOT use coconut oil.

Please read over this page multiple times so you’re prepared. 

Cash is best, but Credit is also gladly accepted at the time of your appointment and gratuity is not included in the price. 

 Thank you for your confidence in me and I look forward to meeting you, and giving you some fabulous new eyebrows, eyeliner and/or lips!
