We do not recommend waxing over areas that have been in contact with active skin treatments in the past 7 days before your appointment to avoid skin grazing.

Unfortunately no. A Brow Sculpt includes: shape, wax, tint, trimming and your brow artist will show you how to fill in your brows.

We do not recommend having your brows tinted if you have just had a fresh spray tan as this will cause discolouration of the tint. It is recommended to have your Brow Sculpt done prior to your spray tan appointment.

On average a brow tint can last anywhere 10 to 14 days (on the hair only). Oilier skin types have shorter retention and it can possibly last up to 7 days on the skin.

By keeping your freshly tinted brows makeup free, avoid using active skin care around the brow area and try not to get your brows wet for the first 24 hours.

This method is the most natural looking form of eyebrow tattooing. Super fine ‘hair like’ strokes are tattooed into the skin behind existing brow hair to create density, definition and to help fill in gaps for the perfect brow.

With results lasting up to 12-18months, keep your brows updated with current trends without having to commit to a ‘traditional’ brow tattoo.

Powder-fill gives a more defined, solid appearance, and is usually a longer-lasting option, whereas hair stroke, as the name suggests, involves cosmetic tattooing on tiny lines/strokes in a design that gives the appearance of hair. Hair-strokes alone, with no background, do require more re-touching than other methods.

A good, longer lasting option can be a combination of these, where a lighter powder-fill will be done at the first appointment, then hair-strokes over the top, to give texture and a realistic, hair like appearance. We can discuss these options and what would give you the best result and your consultation. Both techniques are the same price.

No. Our touch up service is only for our existing clients. If you have had your brows done elsewhere, we do not go over them until they have completely faded. Once your brows are ready to be re-done, full prices apply.

If you have had your brows done previously, please send through a photo in natural lighting without any make up on. We will determine whether we can cover them or if you need to book in for removal first. We offer laser-free tattoo removal.

Your skin will take a total of 6 weeks to completely heal and show true results.

Pain threshold levels differ amongst individuals. Some clients may experience slight discomfort and a stinging sensation. Be mentally prepared as it is cosmetic tattooing, it is not pain-free.

Pigments are not implanted into the skin as deep as traditional tattoos, the area will naturally fade overtime. Skincare routine will also affect the lasting effect of the pigment: patients who tan, uses products with AHA or Glycolic Acid with fade faster as your skin will resurface faster. Each individual’s color retention within the skin will vary.

To maintain the brows looking fresh, a touch up is suggested every 12 months.

Please disclose any medically conditions when making a booking. We may require you to bring additional information from your GP to your consultation.

Oily skin does not hold pigment as well as other skin types. Strokes may not heal as crisp and clients may experience less pigment retention. An additional session may also be required to perfect it. Ombré Brows and Powdered Brows may be a better option for you.

Absolutely not, it is desirable to have as many natural hairs as possible to achieve a natural look. We will shape your brows prior to starting your brow tattoo procedure.

Your artist will help you choose a color that is best suited to your brow hair in order to get a more natural and blended result. We have a large range of pigments, sometimes 2 or more pigments can be mixed to create a unique color for you.

We use iron oxide pigments that will fade over time and are naturally absorbed by the skin. Iron oxides are innocuous, harmless and perfectly safe for implantation into your skin.

It is not recommended to use any kind of foundation around your brows, the skin should be kept clean until the scabbing/flaking has finished. This can take up to 2-3 weeks.

Yes, swelling and redness will subside within 24 hours. The color of your brows will be dark for the first few days but will soften as the healing process starts

The area can be a little sore for the first few hours and tender to touch for a couple days.

There is minimal risk of infection as strict hygiene standards are maintained. Sterile, disposable, single use needles from sealed packets are used.

Our Instagram displays recent work on our clients and is updated daily.

Technically, semi-permanent micro-pigmentation is considered permanent because the colour is implanted into the upper dermal layer of the skin and cannot be washed off. However, the pigment is implanted more superficially than a traditional tattoo, so it naturally fades over time.

Lamination is a particular technique which is used to create full, feathery and defined natural brows.

We transform your brows by using a patented perming system to keep individual brows hair in place and in a desired shape.

Approx 6-8 weeks.

As a precautionary measure, not suitable for women during pregnancy.

High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a treatment that promotes non-surgical face lifting and skin tightening to a number of problem areas. This is a non-needle, non-surgical technology which reaches deep into the skin to visibly tighten the desired areas.

This technology precisely targets the SMAS layer in the skin. This is the layer that surgeons pull back when doing a face lift. This causes new collagen stimulation which provides long term tightening of the skin.

These include:

• Submental (Area under the chin)
• Neck
• Cheeks
• Upper face

Results from ultrasound skin tightening are instant and progressive, meaning you will continue to see improvements for up to 6 months post treatment.

Your skin may appear red for a few hours after the treatment. It is common when treating the face and neck it can feel quite tender any may last from 2 - 21 days. You may experience slight swelling, tingling or tenderness for a few days after.

Results that are equivalent to a surgical facelift require three treatments three months apart after this results can be maintained by ongoing, periodical treatments.

Yes a $500 non refundable deposit is required at the time of booking.

Unfortunately just like many other beauty treatments, we do not reccomend to have the treatment done during this time. Generally, it is not recommended to receive laser treatments or other energy-based treatments such as HIFU or radiofrequency skin tightening during pregnancy. This is due to the lack of information regarding their effects on the foetus.
