Get answers to common questions about Ombre Retouch.

Most clients return every 12 to 18 months depending on skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure. Oily skin or heavy sun may require earlier retouches, while careful aftercare can extend time between appointments for lasting ombre definition.

We apply medical-grade topical numbing to minimize discomfort, so most clients report only mild sensitivity during the service. Some tenderness and scabbing can occur while healing; following our aftercare reduces irritation and speeds comfortable recovery.

Plan for 60-90 minutes typically — includes brief consultation, color adjustment, pigment application, and aftercare guidance. Time varies with correction needed and clients' skin conditions; major color changes or corrections may require longer sessions.

No, the retouch targets the skin's pigment layer and does not remove natural hairs. Our technique complements your natural brows by enhancing shape and shading, integrating with hair strokes for a fuller, soft powdered appearance without affecting hair growth.

Avoid alcohol, aspirin, and blood-thinning supplements for 48 hours prior. Skip Botox treatments, chemical peels, and retinoids near the brow area for two weeks. Arrive with clean, makeup-free brows and share any recent skin changes or medications with your technician.

Keep brows dry for at least 48 hours, then gently cleanse and apply recommended healing ointment. Avoid pools, saunas, makeup, and direct sun until fully healed. Do not pick scabs; allow pigment to settle, and follow scheduled touch-up timing for ideal results.
