Unveiling the Truth Behind Perfectly Crafted Brows
Hey there, beauties!
Get ready to dive into a world of brow artistry and Permanent Makeup (PMU) as we debunk some common misconceptions that might make you raise an eyebrow. So grab a seat, sip on your favourite latte, and prepare to be enlightened!
Misconception #1: Do we actually shave your eyebrows? 🫣
Noooo, we're all about celebrating your natural hair! We're not here to turn your brows into a hairless wonderland. Our top priority is preserving those luscious strands while enhancing your brow game. Say hello to perfectly groomed brows without any unnecessary sacrifices! Working with the natural hairs is key!
Misconception #2: Does PMU hurt?
Drumroll, please! Ba-dum-tss
Believe it or not, the pain level is often lower than you think. On a scale of 1 to 10, clients usually rate it between 1 and 3. We've got a secret weapon called numbing cream though, to make the process as comfy as a marshmallow pillow. So don't worry, we've got your back, or should we say, your brows!
Misconception #3: Do we pre-draw?
Absolutely, we do! We're not fans of cookie-cutter shapes. We take pride in our personalized approach, where we use your unique facial features, natural brows, and our artistic eye to create brows that are effortlessly natural and tailored just for you. Think of it as your own customized brow masterpiece!
Misconception #4: Can you see your future brows?
Hold onto your hats, because we're about to reveal a secret. Before we even touch the tattooing tools, we want you to feel totally at ease and confident with the shape. We'll show you the pre-drawn design, giving you plenty of time to adjust and ensure you're head over heels for the final result. It's like getting a sneak peek of your future fabulous self!
Misconception #5: Caffeine before your appointment - yay or nay?
Well, it's not exactly ideal, my caffeinated comrades. Caffeine can increase the chances of bruising during the procedure. So, it's best to sip on something decaf before your appointment to keep those bruise blues at bay. We're all for perky brows, but let's avoid the unwanted black-and-blue ensemble, shall we?
Misconception #6: Medications and blood thinners - a PMU roadblock?
Hold up! Let's have a little chat about this. Ibuprofen, blood thinners, and fish oils might not be the best buddies for PMU. They can thin your blood and make it harder for the pigment to stay put. If you're on any of these meds, it's wise to consult with your GP before making any changes. Safety first, gorgeous!
Misconception #7: Sneaky effects of skincare products
Oh, those sneaky skincare ingredients! After a PMU treatment, using products with active ingredients can turn your precious pigment into an ashy purple/blue nightmare. No thanks!
Educate yourself and steer clear of those troublemakers to keep your fabulous new brows looking on point. Long live the pigment!
Misconception #8: Exercise after PMU treatment? Pump the brakes!
Hey, fitness fanatics, we salute your dedication! But here's the deal: hold off on intense exercise after your PMU treatment. All that blood rushing to your head, increased infection risks, and the salty sweat-saline connection can disturb the delicate pigment. So, relax, take it easy, and keep those brows sweat-free for a little while. Your brows will thank you!
Misconception #9: Keeping PMU dry - it's a waiting game.
Patience, beauties, patience. We recommend keeping those fresh off the needle brows to dry for a solid ten days. Sure, running water might seem tempting, but resist the urge! Premature exposure to water can disrupt the pigment, leaving you with unwanted gaps or scarring. Stay dry, stay fabulous!
Misconception #10: Aftercare - it's the secret ingredient.
Never underestimate the power of aftercare! The healing process plays a crucial role in achieving those stunning, long-lasting results. From gentle cleaning to moisturising, each step matters! So follow the aftercare guidelines diligently, and watch your brows flourish into works of art.
As we bid farewell to these misconceptions, let's raise our perfectly crafted brows and celebrate the truth. PMU is all about preserving natural hair, ensuring client comfort, pre-drawing with precision, addressing factors affecting results, and guiding you through impeccable aftercare.
Here's to clarity, confidence and beautifully bold brows, my friends!
Wishing you laughter, joy, and brows that slay,
Barbara
