Policies
Deposits
A non-refundable deposit of $50 is required to reserve your appointment time. It goes towards your total and must be paid through Venmo @brickelle-Kuhn. For henna and lamination, a $10 deposit is required. Appointment will not be confirmed without a deposit and appointment time will be opened back up for booking if deposit is not received within 24 hours of inquiry.
Payment
The only forms of payment I accept are CASH or VENMO. (@brickelle-kuhn)
To prevent either of us having to be responsible for the cost of using debit/credit (typically 3% fee), I do not accept them as forms of payment. Final total will be due at the beginning of your appointment. If you are not prepared to pay with cash or venmo, we will have to cancel your appt and your deposit will not be refunded. To rebook you will be required to pay a new deposit and reschedule.
Late Arrivals
If you are more than 15 minutes late, you will forfeit your deposit and appointment. You will be required to book a new appointment and a new deposit will be required to book.
No Shows
If you cannot make it to your appointment, please let me know 48 hours in advance. Your deposit will not be refunded, but I will transfer it to your new appointment when you reschedule. If no notice is given 48 hours prior to your appointment, you will forfeit your deposit and you will not be allowed to rebook.
To book an appointment, you must confirm the following does not apply.
1-Are you pregnant or nursing? ​​​-Hormones can cause discoloration or excessive loss of retention. Its best to wait until after you're done nursing to ensure you get the best results!
2- Have you been on Accutane within the last year? -Accutane can make the skin extra sensitive and prone to scarring.
3- Are you taking any kind of blood thinning medication?
4- Are you or have you recently been taking antibiotics for infection?
5-Are you an insulin dependent diabetic?
6- Are you allergic to numbing medication (lidocaine)
Permanent Makeup Process
Eyebrows
I get a lot of questions about what the procedure is like and I'm sure you'd like to know as well! So here's how it goes-
First, I'll have you fill out a form acknowledging you don't have any of the contradictions listed. Next, I'll have you tell me what your goal is! I want to know what shape, how thick, what style, and everything you can possibly tell me. It always helps if you can find a few inspo pics to bring and show me when you arrive at your appointment.
After I know for what your initial goal is we can start drawing the shape. I will draw the outline based on the style you described as well as your natural features. After the outline is drawn I will have you check to make sure it is absolutely the shape you want! If it isn't exactly how you want it, then I will adjust it and we will go back and forth until you LOVE it! The outcome can't be perfect if you didn't love the outline. When we have finalized a shape, then we numb with a topical lidocaine for 10-15 minutes.Â
While you are numbing we will color match you! I have multiple colors and shades that can be mixed and matched to get a custom color that fits your hair color and skin tone.Â
After numbing, we start the permanent makeup! Hairstrokes are done using a tiny manual hand tool with a group of small needles at the end. Ombre brows are done using a machine that uses a single needle to implant the pigment. This part can take 30 minutes to 2 hours.Â
When the brows are finished, we will take after pictures and talk about aftercare. I provide you with the products you will need to get the best healed results.
Lip Blush
When you come in to your Lip Blush appointment, we will start by talking about how you would like your lips to look when they are healed. Do you want just a little bit of natural flush color to them? Or is your goal to create a fuller appearance? When the outer edge of the lip tissue fades in natural color, it can make the lips appear smaller and older. While lip blush can't actually make your lips bigger, adding a natural layer of color and defining the border can make them appear fuller. Next we will talk about color. It is important to know that even if I use the exact same ink on one persons lips, it could heal differently on someone else. This is why I custom mix for each person. Everyone has different skin, undertones, and lifestyles that affect the healed outcome. Once I have a good idea of your desired outcome, I will then create a guide for the shape using makeup. This will give you a good idea of what the final shape will be as well as help me create more symmetry with your lip. Once you LOVE the shape, we will get started on the actual Lip Blush! I use a machine that implants the pigment using a single needle. Don't worry! It isn't as bad as it sounds! I also apply a topical numbing to keep you as nice and comfy as possible! When we are done, I will go over aftercare and provide you with the products you will need for the best healed results! IMPORTANT- The process of lip blush does mildly irritate the lips and could cause a cold sore outbreak. ALL clients wanting Lip Blush must take valacyclovir or another antiviral drug for preventing cold sores, prescribed by your doctor. Getting Lip Blush does not guarantee you will have an outbreak. If you have never had a cold sore, you are still required to take the medication for preventative purposes. Not only are cold sores painful, but they could cause the healing to be uneven and blotchy.
Henna/ Lamination
Henna and lamination appointments are each about 30 minutes. If you book both in one appt, it will be around an hour. If you have ever had any kind of reaction to hair dye, you should not book an appointment for henna.
