IF ANY of the following apply to your client, they are NOT a candidate for microblading or permanent makeup.

• PREGNANT

  For the client's safety, and the safety of the client's baby, permanent makeup cannot be performed while pregnant. Not to worry though – after the client gives birth it is totally fine for the client to receive services!

  Here’s why - if the client gets an infection from the procedure, it could spread to the baby.

• KELOIDS IN EYEBROW AREA

  Unfortunately, you cannot perform microblading on people who have any history of keloids in the eyebrow area.

  This is because both services introduce tiny cuts, so if the client has a history of keloid scarring it’s very possible the client could have that after microblading. Not to worry – the client may be a candidate for Ombre Powder Brows, which is a beautiful and very natural technique that is safer for people who have a history of keloids. This is because Ombre Powder Brows involve the use of a small machine with one single needle entering the skin at a time and no cutting.

• CHEMOTHERAPY

  Unfortunately, you cannot perform permanent makeup on anyone who is actively receiving chemotherapy. Not to worry though – in most cases the client can receive permanent makeup BEFORE or AFTER the client's chemotherapy treatment if the client is in good health and the client doc says it’s ok. Don’t be afraid to ask for a doctor's note.

• BLOOD THINNERS OR BLEEDING DISORDERS

  You cannot perform permanent makeup on anyone who is actively taking blood thinners, or who suffers from a bleeding disorder. This is because the permanent makeup services we provide penetrate and open the skin. In both cases, the client may bleed a lot, which can compromise the clients results and your ability to perform the service. The bleeding makes it difficult for you to see your work, which makes it almost impossible to ensure crisp clean lines and shapes. Bleeding also dilutes the pigment you use, which means any work you can get done through the bleeding will be very light, or in some cases it may not stay at all. It’s more important that you provide an outstanding result for the client than to take the clients' money. Please know that you are not a doctor, so prior to stopping any medication the client needs to consult their doctor and seek their medical opinion.

• ACCUTANE USED

  Unfortunately, if the client has used Accutane or any similar medications you are unable to perform any permanent makeup service until the client has been off the medication for a year. This is because these medications will change the qualities of the client's skin, leading to increased swelling, bleeding and pain. In addition, the client skin is unlikely to heal well after the procedure. Don’t worry though! You will be there until the client is ready!

• BOTOX

  Because Botox can affect the position of your clients' eyebrows, you cannot perform any permanent makeup on your client unless it’s been at least 2 weeks since your clients Botox injections. The client can totally get it before the procedure as long as it’s been 2 weeks, and any time after the client's appointment is also fine.

• SUNBURNED

  You cannot perform permanent makeup on your client while the client has an active sunburn on their face. This is because it would cause extreme sensitivity, bleeding and pain. The client can go ahead and book for at least 2 weeks later to secure their spot on the calendar when it’s safe for the client's skin!

• SEVERE ACNE

  Unfortunately, if your client has used Accutane or any similar medications You are unable to perform any permanent makeup service until the client has been off the medication for a year. This is because these medications will change the qualities of your client's skin, leading to increased swelling, bleeding and pain. In addition, your client's skin is unlikely to heal well after the procedure. Don’t worry though! You will be here until your client is ready.

• RETANOID/

• VITAMIN A/

• RETIN-A USE

  Prior to all permanent makeup appointments you will need your client to stop using these types of products on their forehead, temple, and eye area at least 2 weeks prior to all appointments. This is because these products will change the qualities of your client's skin, leading to increased swelling, bleeding and pain. In addition, your client's skin is unlikely to heal well after the procedure. Don’t worry though! It’s totally fine to return to using them after your clients' brows are healed

• AUTO-IMMUNE DISORDERS

  You want the best for your clients' brows, and you only want your client to make this investment for themselves if you believe your client will have outstanding results! Sometimes, when your client's health is not at its best it can affect how your client heals and their final results. For this reason, you want to make sure your clients are in good health overall at the time of your appointment. Have the client give you a call if this applies to them so you can chat further about how to best proceed with booking your clients appointment.
