FAQ

HOW IS BROW SHAPE, COLOR AND STYLE DECIDED?

At your appointment, I take into consideration your skin type, texture, thickness and undertones. Then I look at your hair and brow color, asymmetries, face shape and bone structure. When deciding the technique (hair strokes, shading or combination) it will depend on your skin type and desired results. I prefer to make each set of brows as natural as possible and fitting to each clients face and needs.

IS IT PAINFUL?

During the appointment two strong topical anesthetics are used to keep you comfortable and relaxed. However, pain tolerance varies from person to person. After the session, once the anesthetic wears off there is slight tenderness.

WHAT WILL IT LOOK LIKE IMMEDIATELY AFTER?

After the session, the pigment will start to darken and oxidize. For the first 1-5 days brows will appear dark and bold. Once the pigment begins to flake and peel, it may appear patchy and spotty until all the skin has finished exfoliating. Following the pigment coming off, your brows will seem very light and muted. Over the rest of the healing period (4-6 weeks) the epidermis will normalize and the pigment will come back to the surface of the skin. The end result is roughly 40% lighter than the beginning of the healing process.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT ONCE HEALED?

Healed brows will be different from client to client. Results can be affected by many variables including skin type, skin tone, skin thickness, colors used, medications, medical conditions, lifestyle, amount of natural brow hair, aftercare, bleeding, technique and more. Results are not guaranteed due to these variables. Initially you may experience a darker, crisp immediate result and when healed it will soften and lighten.

HOW OFTEN WILL I NEED A FOLLOW-UP?

This is a two part procedure. The first session will lay down the groundwork for the shape and foundation of the brows. Due to the variables and every client healing differently, a touch up sessions is highly recommended 6-12 weeks for additional layering and completion of the brows. A third session is available to further achieve desired result, mainly depending on your skin type. To keep your brows fresh and looking their best, I recommend to come only when your brows need love. if they look good, don’t come see me! Regardless of time. If you’re not sure, feel free to text photos. Going over your brows too frequently can cause there to be too much pigment in the skin. It’s important to allow them to fade.

SOMEONE ELSE DID MY EYEBROWS. CAN YOU FIX THEM OR TOUCH THEM UP?

If you have ever had your brows previously tattooed, please contact me via email and include photos before booking an appointment. I accept clients with previous work on a case by case basis.

CAN I GET TATTOOED IF I AM PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING?

As a precaution, I do not perform cosmetic tattoo services on women who are expecting or breastfeeding.

  Bella has worked her magic on my brows (which needed a ton of help after over-tweezing in the 90s) and my lips.  She is the most talented, skilled, gem of a human you will ever meet.  She really cares about her clients, and works with you to get the best outcome possible.  I will sing her praises from the mountaintops forever - don't hesitate to book with her!

  I followed Bella for years on IG and finally got the nerve up to book my brow appointment. It was life changing. Brows truly define your face and I am so happy with mine now. I was really nervous (I have no other tattoos), but she honestly made it feel like the most relaxing experience. My only fear now is that she will move away 😂 if you have any questions, text her and she will give you allllll the information you need to feel confident in whatever decision you make.

  Having tattooed brows has changed my life! If you’re considering getting cosmetic tattooing, I 100% recommend Bella. She’s incredibly easy to work with, hilarious, and does amazing work. I was really nervous about getting my brows done, but she made me feel so comfortable, not only as a client but just like we were old friends getting to catch up.

  I’ve always been insecure about my brows, but Bella completely nailed my vision with my nanobrows. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, her work is so detailed, and she takes her time to make sure everything is perfect ✨ On top of that, she’s so sweet and fun that I never want to leave when my appointment is over. I can’t recommend her enough!

  Bella is absolutely amazing at cosmetic tattooing. Her skill, technique, and attention to detail are truly top notch. My mom previously had a botched brow tattoo that had to be lasered off before starting over, and Bella completely transformed her brows. The results are beautiful and natural, and my mom is finally confident and happy with them again. Bella is incredibly talented at what she does, and you can tell she really cares about her work and her clients. I refer all of my clients to her, and every single one of them has loved their results. I can’t recommend her enough!

  There's no one else I would trust to do my brows. She stays up-to-date on new methods, listens to what you want and/or are concerned about, and does an *amazing* job! I love my eyebrows and constantly get asked about them.
