About the treatment
The shading can be very natural or bolder if you prefer. It is my clients’ favorite brow style because it lasts longer than microblading — many people who had microblading switch techniques at their touchup.
For anyone with less natural hair, or oily and troublesome skin, this technique (together with powder brows) is the best choice.
Please keep in mind
All cosmetic tattoo procedures usually require a touchup, and I cannot control how much pigment your skin chooses to absorb. Immediate touchups are recommended to perfect the first session.

Booking policies
Before you book.
Clear policies keep the schedule fair for everyone — please read them before requesting your appointment.
Deposits
A non-refundable deposit reserves your appointment and is applied to your service price. It stays valid for one year. The only exception: if your doctor advises against the procedure, your deposit is refunded.
Changes, cancellations & no-shows
Reschedule or cancel online, with your “Manage my appointment” link, at least 24 hours before your appointment — up to two changes per deposit. Less than 24 hours before, it can’t be changed and a new date needs a new deposit. Not showing up, arriving more than 20 minutes late, or arriving with an active cold sore, flare-up or broken skin forfeits the deposit. You’ll get a confirmation and a reminder before your visit.
Payment & tax
Pay your deposit online by card or Apple Pay. Your card is saved securely by Stripe and the balance (plus any tip you choose) is charged to it at the end of your appointment — or pay with a QR code, including Klarna or Affirm to pay over time. New York State sales tax on permanent makeup (4.5%) is added to all prices.
The studio
By appointment only — no walk-ins. For safety and concentration, no guests or children are allowed in the treatment room.
Eligibility
Not possible while pregnant or breastfeeding, or within 6 months of taking Accutane. Some conditions — such as cancer, a serious illness, a clotting disorder, or thyroid, diabetes or blood-pressure conditions — need a letter from your doctor. Cold sores, blood thinners and skin conditions need some preparation, and the area must be clear on the day. The booking form walks you through it.
