Brow Waxing
New and Returning Clients
I cannot wax if you are using products on any part of your face that cause the skin to be more thin. This includes (but is not limited to) store bought creams containing retinols/retinol alternatives/certain acids, prescription skincare, medications from a dermatologist or doctor for your skin, Adapalene, Tazorac, Epiduo, Retin-A, Accutane, Tretinion, and other products that cause the skin to be more thin. Even if you aren't using these products in your brow area, they will likely still migrate under the skin and can effect the brow area from inches away. Please contact Lauren prior to booking if you are using any of these products.
​
Common skincare ingredients that can affect your skin's ability to be waxed : retinols, retinol alternatives (may not be listed directly on the ingredients list), vitamin c, vitamin a, lactic acid, glycolic acid, absorbic acid, kojic acid, citric acid, malic acid, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and other ingredients formulated for acne or anti-aging. Some of these ingredients may not affect your skin's ability to be waxed, but if you are unsure... let Lauren know at the beginning of your appointment & test patches can be done prior to your service.
These ingredients and products can make our skin look really great, but in combination with waxing can cause the skin to "lift" or become raw and irritated for the days/weeks following your appointment.
Brow Tinting
New and Returning Clients
Our tint is specifically formulated for brows (and lashes). If you have existing brow hair and would like to deepen the color or tint to add the look of fullness by tinting the hair and peach fuzz within the brows... this is the service for you. Tinting will last on the hair 4-6 weeks on average.
​
Our tint may stain the skin temporarily for 1-2 days for clients with dry skin, but is only made to last on the brow hair. If you notice any tint residue on your skin after leaving your appointment, gently exfoliate the skin with a wet wash cloth.
If you are looking to have your skin stained to create a shape where there isn't hair... this is likely not the service for you are needing.
​​​​
You are able to tint your brows if you have microblading/nano or other forms of brow tattooing.

Skin/Skincare
​​
Certain skincare products can interfere with cosmetic tattooing and should be avoided for up to 6 weeks before and after your session. While anti-aging, color-correcting, and acne products can improve your skin’s appearance, they can also thin the skin, increase sensitivity, and impact pigment retention. Using these products before your session may lead to excessive damage or scarring, while using them afterward can cause premature exfoliation and uneven results. If you're unsure about the products you're using, please contact Lauren before booking your appointment. Additionally, bring a list of all skincare products you've used in the past 60 days to your appointment.​
​
If you're unsure which products to use before or after your procedure, here are some cosmetic tattoo-friendly options:
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser, CeraVe Foaming Face Cleanser, La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser, Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser, CeraVe PM Lotion Face Moisturizer, CeraVe Oil Control Moisturizing Gel-Cream Face Moisturizer, CeraVe AM Lotion Face Moisturizer.
