Frequently Asked

Questions

1. Can I reschedule or cancel my appointment?

We kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to
cancel or reschedule your appointment.

Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will incur a 50% fee of the scheduled service.

No-shows will be charged 100% of the service fee.

This helps us offer your spot to another client and keep our schedule running smoothly. Thank you for your understanding and respect for our time.

No deposit is required at this time.

However, we kindly ask that you honor your booking and notify us promptly if you need to reschedule. This helps us accommodate other clients on our waiting list.

Please arrive with clean skin and no makeup around the treatment area. Avoid using oils or creams, on the day of your appointment for best results.

Yes. We use high-quality, gentle tints designed for sensitive areas.
If you have allergies or reactive skin, let us know beforehand.
We can perform a quick patch test 24–48 hours before your appointment to ensure safety and comfort.

Both are semi-permanent brow techniques, but Nanoblading uses an ultra-fine needle to create more precise strokes.

It’s gentler on the skin, allows better pigment retention, and is ideal for clients seeking a soft result, especially on thinner or more delicate skin.

What’s the purpose?
To enhance what’s already yours. Nanoblading adds softness, symmetry, and natural definition to your brows without exaggeration. It’s all about framing your face in the most elegant and subtle way.

Who is it for?
Nanoblading is for who wants more definition, volume, or balance in their brows.
Perfect for those who overplucked in the past, have uneven shapes, or just want to simplify their beauty routine without compromising on natural results.

Does it hurt?
It’s not painful, but you might feel a slight discomfort—most clients say it’s very tolerable.

How long does it last?
Between 6 to 18 months, depending on your skin type and aftercare.

We will not perform nanoblading if you have had Botox or filler near the eyebrow area. You must wait 3 weeks prior to your appointment for the Botox and filler to settle in your skin.

Yes! Certain skincare products can gradually lighten your cosmetic nanoblading over time.

Chemical exfoliants and anti-aging ingredients such as retinol, glycolic acid, lactic acid, and similar actives increase skin cell turnover and exfoliation, which can cause pigment fading in the brow area.

For best results, we recommend:

  • Discontinuing these products at least 3–4 weeks before your microblading session.
  • Avoiding direct use of these products on or around the treated area after healing, to help preserve your results for as long as possible.

Services are offered in English and Portuguese.
