FAQ

  • Is Cosmetic Tattooing right for me?

    If you are someone who pencils your brows in daily, or has sparse/gappy brows and is trying to achieve an overall nicer brow with minimal maintenance, then yes! Clients with normal to dry skin types have the option of choosing between Ombrè, Combo or Feathertouch and will typically heal well after undergoing either. However, those with more oily skin types and bigger pores, are better suited to our Ombrè technique. Each cosmetic tattooing session comes with an in-depth, in-person consultation to ensure we are providing you with the right service for your brows, skin type and lifestlye.

  • How many treatments are required?

    A minimum of two treatments is necessary, you will have your initial session and then a mandatory touch-up at the 6-week mark (no longer than 12 weeks post-initial session). At the touch up, we correct any patchiness and you’re welcome to go a slightly darker colour if you wish.

  • Approximately how long does the tattoo procedure take?

    For the initial session, please allow up to 2.5 hours. During the first session, we will have an in-depth conversation to go over what you're wanting to achieve with your look. We will then select the colour, pre-draw your new brow shape, and create the design within the first half of the appointment. The second half numbing will be applied and then the tattooing procedure will follow.

  • How long do results last?

    Cosmetic tattooing is a permanent procedure that will gradually fade with time. It usually remains for up to two-three years, depending upon one's skin type and lifestyle. We advise that you book a follow-up session 12 - 18 months after your initial appointment to maintain the best results. It is not possible to guarantee the ultimate results or the duration of the healed outcome, as each person's skin will retain the pigment differently.

  • Is it painful?

    To ensure your comfort, we use two powerful topical anaesthetic creams. However, everyone has different thresholds for pain, and sensitivity may be heightened during your menstrual cycle. Most clients rate the pain level between 2-3 on a scale of 1-10. Most clients find the discomfort minimal, and tweezing or threading is often more painful.

  • Will it look natural?

    Absolutely! At Scarlett Brow Studio we implement a method that creates hair lines that appear extremely realistic to the naked eye, making it almost indistinguishable from actual hair. We take great pride in providing highly realistic Microblading services. Additionally, we require all clients to participate in an in-depth consultation before beginning treatment.

  • Previous Tattooing

    If you have had previous cosmetic tattooing from another technician, you MUST inform Scarlett Brow Studio prior to booking your appointment. We will request a clear photo of your brows with details of the timing and frequency of your previous treatments. Because we prioritize delivering the best results and genuinely care about your well-being, there may be situations where we are unable to provide treatment.

  • 6 Week Touch Up

    Touch ups are done no earlier than 5 weeks after your initial procedure and no later than 12 weeks. If you leave your touch up appointment longer than 12 weeks, you will be required to pay an additional fee.

    The touch up procedure is generally 1 hour.

    Occasionally, some clients experience reduced pigment retention and may require a third touch up (6 -8 weeks later). This will incur another fee of $150.
