IMPORTANT

Permanent eyebrow services are not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

If you currently use or have recently used Accutane (isotretinoin), please contact us before booking to determine whether you are eligible for treatment.

Permanent eyebrow services may need to be postponed or may not be suitable if any of the following apply:

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Active skin infections, irritation, acne, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, or open wounds in the eyebrow area
• Current or recent Accutane (isotretinoin) use
• Uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune conditions that may affect healing
• History of keloids or excessive scarring
• Bleeding disorders or medications that may affect bleeding or healing
• Recent Botox, fillers, chemical peels, laser treatments, or other intensive facial treatments
• Known allergies to pigments or topical anesthetics
• Epilepsy or seizure disorders, particularly if not well controlled

IMPORTANT: If you have a medical condition, take prescription medication, have recently undergone a cosmetic or medical procedure, or are unsure whether you are a candidate, please contact us before booking. Medical clearance may be required.

IIf you have previous permanent eyebrow makeup done by another artist, please send us a clear, makeup-free photo for evaluation and approval before booking your appointment.

Nano Brows are not a cover-up technique. Previous pigment must be sufficiently faded for us to safely create clean, natural-looking results. If the existing work is too dark, saturated, discolored, unevenly shaped, or extends outside the desired brow design, removal may be required before a new service can be performed.

Once the old pigment has been sufficiently removed or faded and the skin has fully healed, we can evaluate the brows again and determine the most appropriate technique for your new design.

IMPORTANT: We do not perform touch-ups on work done by other artists. Any previous permanent makeup must be evaluated and approved before booking.

WEEK 1

Gently wash your eyebrows morning and night with water and a mild, fragrance-free cleanser. Rinse lightly and pat dry with a clean tissue or paper towel. Do not rub the area.

Apply a very thin layer of the recommended healing balm as directed. Do not over-moisturize.

During the healing process:

• Do not pick, scratch, peel, or scrub the eyebrows.
• Avoid makeup directly on the treated area.
• Avoid excessive sweating and strenuous exercise for the first 7 days.
• Avoid swimming, saunas, steam rooms, facials, and prolonged water exposure while healing.
• Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, and other strong skincare products directly on the treated area.
• Protect the eyebrows from direct sun exposure while healing.

IMPORTANT: Flaking, peeling, and temporary fading are a normal part of the healing process. Allow the skin to heal naturally and follow the aftercare instructions carefully for the best healed results.

Permanent eyebrow makeup goes through a normal healing process. Your brows may temporarily look darker, lighter, uneven, or patchy as the skin heals. Flaking and peeling are also normal.

Days 1–3: Brows may appear darker and more defined than the final healed result. Mild sensitivity or swelling may occur.

Days 4–14: Flaking or peeling may begin, and the color can appear lighter or patchy. Do not pick, scratch, or remove peeling skin. Allow it to shed naturally.

Weeks 3–5: The color gradually settles and becomes more visible as the skin continues to heal.

IMPORTANT: Please allow at least 4 weeks before judging the final color or determining whether a touch-up is needed.

Touch-ups are NOT included in the initial service price. If a touch-up is needed or desired after healing, it must be booked and paid for separately as an additional service.

Permanent eyebrow treatments are completed as a two-step process: the initial session + the required touch-up session.

The initial session establishes the shape, color, and foundation of the brows. Because every client heals and retains pigment differently, some areas may heal lighter or retain less pigment than others. The touch-up allows us to evaluate the healed results and make any necessary adjustments to color, density, balance, and pigment retention.

Please allow your eyebrows to heal for at least 4 weeks before the touch-up. Touch-ups are typically scheduled 4–8 weeks after the initial appointment.

Touch-ups are NOT included in the initial service price and must be booked and paid for separately.

IMPORTANT: The touch-up is an essential part of completing your permanent eyebrow treatment. Bellisima Brows cannot guarantee optimal or complete healed results if the client does not complete both the initial session and the required touch-up.

Skin type, lifestyle, aftercare, individual healing, and other factors can affect pigment retention. Future maintenance sessions may also be recommended as the pigment naturally fades over time.

Color retention varies from person to person and depends on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, skincare routine, sun exposure, hormonal changes, and individual healing.

Oily skin, frequent sweating, sun or tanning exposure, exfoliating treatments, retinoids, and other active skincare products may cause pigment to fade more quickly.

The eyebrow technique selected can also affect how the healed color appears and how it fades over time. Softer, more natural techniques are intentionally designed to heal subtly, while more defined techniques may create a stronger healed appearance.

Because every client’s skin and lifestyle are different, pigment retention and fading cannot be guaranteed.

Permanent eyebrow makeup typically lasts 1–3 years, although results vary from person to person.

How long your brows last depends on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, skincare routine, pigment retention, and the eyebrow technique selected.

Oily skin, frequent sweating, sun or tanning exposure, exfoliating treatments, retinoids, and other active skincare products may cause the pigment to fade more quickly.

Softer, natural-looking techniques may fade sooner than more defined styles. This gradual fading is normal and allows the brows to be refreshed as your features, preferences, and natural brow shape change over time.

Maintenance or color refresh appointments may be recommended as the pigment fades. Individual results and longevity cannot be guaranteed.

The best eyebrow technique is not the same for everyone. Your skin type, natural brow hair, existing shape, desired result, lifestyle, and any previous permanent makeup are all considered when determining the most suitable technique for you.

Nano Brows create fine, realistic hair strokes and are ideal for clients looking for a soft, natural, hair-like appearance.

Powder Brows create a soft, shaded effect similar to beautifully filled-in brows. They may be a better option for clients who prefer more definition or whose skin is better suited for a shading technique.

Combination Brows combine hair strokes with soft shading, providing both natural-looking texture and additional definition or density.

During your consultation, we will evaluate your brows, skin, and aesthetic goals and recommend the technique most likely to provide a beautiful and balanced healed result.

IMPORTANT: If you have previous permanent eyebrow makeup, your existing pigment must be evaluated before a technique can be recommended. Nano Brows are not a cover-up technique, and previous work that is too dark, saturated, discolored, or improperly shaped may require removal or additional fading before a new treatment can be performed.

Nano Brows may be suitable for some clients with oily skin, but skin type and oil production can affect how hairstrokes heal and retain over time.

Because oily skin produces more sebum, fine hairstrokes may heal softer, fade faster, or lose some definition compared with results on normal or drier skin. For clients with very oily skin or enlarged pores, Powder Brows or Combination Brows may provide better and more predictable healed retention.

Every client’s skin is different, so the most appropriate technique will be determined after evaluating your skin type, natural brow hair, pore size, oil production, desired result, and any previous permanent makeup.

Our goal is not simply to perform the technique you request, but to recommend the technique that is best suited to your skin and most likely to produce beautiful, balanced healed results.
