Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which brow service is right for me?
You don’t have to figure it out alone. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your natural brows, skin type, lifestyle, and desired look. From there, I’ll recommend the technique that will give you the most flattering and natural-looking result.
What is the difference between Microblading, Ombré Brows, and Combo Brows?
Microblading creates fine, hair-like strokes and is ideal for clients who want a soft, natural brow enhancement.
Ombré Brows create a softly shaded, makeup-inspired finish that is lighter in the front and gradually becomes more defined toward the tail.
Combo Brows give you the best of both worlds by combining hair-like strokes with soft shading for added fullness and definition.
Will my brows look natural?
Absolutely. Every brow is customized to your facial features, natural brow pattern, skin tone, and personal style. My goal is to enhance your beauty, not overpower it. We will map and design your brows together before any permanent makeup begins.
Does permanent makeup hurt?
Most clients describe the experience as very manageable. A topical numbing agent is used to help keep you comfortable throughout the service. Sensitivity varies from person to person, but your comfort is always a priority.
How long does permanent makeup last?
Results vary based on your skin type, lifestyle, skincare routine, sun exposure, and the technique performed. Permanent makeup gradually fades over time and may require maintenance appointments to keep the color and shape looking fresh.
Will I get to approve my brow shape before you start?
Yes. Brow mapping is an important part of every permanent makeup appointment. We will create and review your shape together before the procedure begins. Nothing is started until you are comfortable with the design.
What should I expect during the healing process?
Your brows will go through several stages while healing. They may initially appear darker or more defined than expected, followed by some light flaking and fading. This is completely normal. As the skin heals, the color will soften and settle into a more natural finish.
It is important to follow all aftercare instructions provided to you for the best possible healed results.
When will I see my final results?
Permanent makeup is a process. Your brows will continue changing as they heal, and the final healed color is typically softer than how they appear immediately after your appointment. Allow your skin time to fully heal before evaluating your final results.
Do I need a touch-up?
Most clients benefit from a perfecting appointment after their initial service. This allows us to evaluate how your skin retained the pigment and make any necessary adjustments to the color, shape, or density.
Can I get permanent makeup if I already have previous brow tattooing?
Possibly. Previous permanent makeup must be evaluated before booking a new brow service. If your existing pigment is too dark, heavily saturated, or significantly outside of the desired shape, correction or removal may be recommended before new work can be performed.
Do you offer permanent makeup removal or color correction?
Yes. Flamingo Beauty Bar offers both color correction and saline removal services. The best option depends on the condition, color, saturation, and placement of your existing permanent makeup. An assessment may be needed before treatment.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Preparation instructions will be provided before your appointment. Following them carefully can help support better pigment retention, minimize sensitivity, and create a smoother overall experience.
Please avoid making major changes to your brows immediately before your appointment unless instructed.
Can I wear makeup after my brow appointment?
Makeup should not be applied directly to the healing brow area until it has properly healed. This helps reduce irritation and protects the skin during the healing process. Makeup may generally be worn on other areas of the face as long as the brow area is kept clean and protected.
Can I work out after permanent makeup?
Heavy sweating should be avoided during the initial healing period because excessive moisture can interfere with pigment retention. You will receive detailed aftercare instructions explaining when it is safe to return to your normal routine.
Are deposits refundable?
Deposits are nonrefundable and are applied toward the total cost of your scheduled service. Your appointment time is reserved specifically for you.
What if I need to reschedule?
A minimum of 48 hours’ notice is required for appointment changes. Clients receive one reschedule opportunity, and a $25 rescheduling fee applies.
Late cancellations, missed appointments, or changes outside of the policy may result in the loss of your deposit.
How long should I plan to be at my appointment?
Appointment length varies depending on the service. Permanent makeup appointments include consultation, brow mapping, color selection, the procedure itself, and aftercare education. Please allow enough time so your appointment never feels rushed.
Do you work with all skin tones and brow types?
Yes. Every client is unique, and your service is customized accordingly. Pigment selection, technique, shape, and overall design are chosen specifically for your complexion, natural brows, and desired result.
What if I’m nervous?
That’s completely normal, especially if this is your first permanent makeup experience. I’ll walk you through the process, explain what I’m doing, answer your questions, and make sure you feel comfortable before we move forward.
At Flamingo Beauty Bar, the experience is just as important as the finished brows. You should feel informed, confident, and cared for from consultation to healed results.
