Following these instructions prior to your procedure will help ensure a more relaxed, comfortable, and enjoyable experience.

• Please eat something 20-30 minutes prior to your appointment. A combination of protein and carbohydrates are recommended such as peanut butter and crackers or a cheeseburger. This keeps your blood sugar steady and helps you to be more comfortable and less sensitive.

• Avoid any form of caffeine 2-3 hours prior to your appointment. Caffeine is a stimulant and will heighten your sensitivity.

•Avoid taking naproxen, Ibuprofen, or Aspirin beforehand, as well as supplements like fish oil, garlic,  gingko & vitamin E. These can increase bleeding and bruising. If you bruise easily, we recommend taking Arnica before the procedure and after. Arnica is available at most health food stores. 

• For Eyeliner, if you wear contacts, please wear glasses to the studio as no contacts can be worn during or 24 hours after procedure. If you use Latisse, please avoid application for several days prior and after the procedure.

• If you are required to take antibiotics before dental procedures, please follow the same instructions from your doctor before your procedure.

• If you are on blood thinners, if it is ok with your doctor, waiting at least 24 hours before eyebrow procedures is recommended. Again, please check with your doctor to make sure you can go 24 hours without them to have the procedure. It is ok to take them again right after your procedure. 

• Avoid tanning and tanning beds 2 weeks prior to procedure. 

•  Alcohol, Caffeine and Nicotine can cause excessive bleeding and interrupt the healing  process of the skin. Do not partake at least 48 hours before the procedure. Use before appointment at your own risk.

• You may request a patch test 2 weeks before the procedure. We are required by the color manufacturer to offer that to you but it is not needed. A patch test does not ensure you will not develop a reaction later on. 

**Following these simple instructions will aid in a more successful outcome** 

Your session could take a while. So, feel free to bring yourself some podcasts, music or an audiobook to keep your mind occupied!

I look forward to seeing you soon!
