LASH LIFT & TINT TREATMENT

Great Eyes

Skip mascara, get a lash lift and tint!

A lash lift and tint will enhance and curl the natural lashes. It involved applying a gentle lifting solution to the lashes, followed by a setting solution to hold the curl in place. When tinting, a special dye is used to darken the lashes. The result is darker, lifted, curled, and beautifully defined lashes that create a wide-eyed and glamorous look without the need for eyelash extensions.

  • Upon completion of the procedure, our Artists will explain all aftercare, and provide you with an aftercare kit. 
  • To avoid the 4% Credit/Debit Card processing fee, please bring cash.
  • Wash your hands before touching any treated area. 
  • Cool packs (not frozen) may be used to help reduce swelling. Dampen paper towels or cotton pads with filtered/bottled water and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Apply to the area 10 minutes at a time. (10 minutes on, 10 minutes off) Cooling the area is most beneficial within the first 24 hours. Sleeping elevated may also help in the reduction of swelling.
  • Use a mild cleanser on and around the procedure area. DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or any exfoliates. Dial Soap, Cataphyll, and Neutrogena are good choices. Use a very light touch cleansing your procedure twice a day. Make sure you rinse off all cleanser.  Pat dry. Wait 15 minutes before applying ointment after getting the procedure wet.  Never put ointment on a wet or damp tattoo.    
  • Showering- Do not take an exceptionally hot shower and keep bathroom doors open as to NOT cause a steam effect.  Keep your face/procedure out of the water while you do your other shower “stuff” first.  At the very end of your shower wash your hair and rinse back away from your face. Wash your face either avoiding procedure area or over procedure area with a very light touch.  Do not let the shower spray hit you directly in the face.  So your face/procedure will only be getting wet at the very last end of the shower.
  • Keep brows and/or lashes dry for first 48 hours.
  • Don’t apply any type of skincare or product on them for the first 48 hours.
  • Don’t rub the area.
  • Avoid water proof makeup on the brows and/or lashes.
  • Apply the aftercare conditioner at least once a day until next appointment.

FAQs

Permanent makeup is cosmetic tattooing which is a very specialized form of tattooing. There are many fancy marketing terms out there like “micro-pigmentation” for instance, it is still the technique of tattooing.  It is the art and science of implanting pigment through the epidermal layer of the skin into the upper dermal layer of the skin. The epidermis is the outer layer of skin that is visible to all of us and is constantly shedding and renewing itself.  Because we implant pigment through the epidermis and into the upper dermal layer, the color we have chosen for you will appear about 15 to 20% darker than what the healed and final result will be. When the color in the epidermis sheds you will see a lighter, softer version of the pigment through a thin veil of healed epidermal skin…this takes about 7 days.  So be prepared…your procedure will look darker than you requested at first…then heal into the softer, lighter color you want.

Yes, most clients can.  Even those that may get some swelling and bruising can drive themselves home just fine. The exception would be if you take any medication before the procedure that can affect your driving…in that case, please arrange for a driver.

Day 4 – The peeling begins. The dark, outer color will start peeling off, revealing the softer, lighter color. Keep the brows moist but don’t overdo it. 

Day 5-8 – The dark, outer color finishes peeling off. The color is lighter and softer, and the brows themselves are a little thinner. The color may have a grayish or ashy tone for a few days until the color clarifies. It could appear that you are missing color and have light areas at this time due to layers of dry skin over the new pigment. Give your eyebrows 3 full weeks to heal and for the color to fully bloom. Use ointment no longer than 10 days.

Absolutely NO pet grooming, gardening, dusting, or anything that causes dust, dirt and dander for a minimum of 72 hours. Waiting 5 full days is best. Wearing glasses outdoors is a good way to protect healing eyeliner.   NO EXERCISING FOR 10 DAYS…NO EXCEPTIONS.  DO NOT DO ANY ACTIVITY THAT CAUSES SWEAT IN THE AREA OF THE PROCEDURE OR YOUR FACE TO HEAT UP AND TURN RED.  ABSOLUTLY NO LAKE ACTIVITIES. DO NOT GO TO THE LAKE OR BEACH.  NO HORSEBACK RIDING, NO CAMPING OR RIDING ATVS.  NO NOTHING OF THIS SORT.  DON’T’ DO IT!  STAY OUT OF THE SUN!  KEEP IT PROTECTED AND KEEP IT CLEAN!   TLC FOR YOUR NEW PROCEDURE.

During your healing process DO NOT expose your new procedures to chemicals, hot tubs, saunas, direct shower spray, hot water, salt water, chlorinated pools, lakes, or ponds.   Direct sun exposure and tanning beds should be avoided indefinitely….both are counter-productive to the cosmetic procedure.

Absolutely NO topical makeup on the healing procedure(s) for a minimum of 5 days. Topical makeup is bacterial and your new procedures(s) need adequate time to heal to avoid irritation and/or infection. You may apply your makeup around the new procedure area but avoid applying ON the healing areas.   

No tweezing or waxing the eyebrows for 10 full days.  NO FACIAL, PEELS OR ANY OF THAT FACE STUFF FOR TWO FULL WEEKS!

Some tenderness, puffiness (even bruising), redness, and itching is quite normal for the tattoo healing process. DO NOT PICK, PEEL, OR SCRATCH the treated area as this could result in your color healing uneven, as well as the risk of scarring and infection.

Lastly….relax.  Don’t worry about a thing.  It’s just a tattoo that will lighten, soften and heal in a matter of days.  Do exactly as I have advised you to do OR not to do and all heals well. Complications are extremely rare.

Microblading is a part of the Permanent Makeup industry.  Microblading is the art of tattooing eyebrows by re-creating realistic hair strokes using a hand-held manual tool rather than a machine.  It is still considered tattooing due to the fact pigment is being implanted through the epidermis and into the upper dermal layer. Realistic hair strokes can also be created equally as natural and beautiful with a machine…some call it machine microblading or nano strokes.  

When a skilled and talented artist does a hair stroke eyebrow using a machine or with the microblading manual tool…you cannot tell the difference as they both heal into beautiful, realistic hair strokes for the client. The two clear differences between machine hair strokes and microblading hairstrokes, other than the device being used, is that the machine method does not cause as much trauma to the skin, and hair strokes done with the machine method will last longer.

No, it is not semi-permanent. Some people will market permanent makeup or microblading as semi-permanent due to the fact it will fade in time.  Body tattoos will also fade in time and yet they are not marketed as semi-permanent.  Although permanent makeup, microblading and body tattoos will fade in time, it is there permanently until it decides to fade in its own unique time frame, and that length of time is different for everyone. 

Once your procedure heals, there is no magically erasing it or removing it.  As with regular tattoos, it can be lightened with saline or laser tattoo removal which can be a timely and costly procedure all in itself.  So, it is permanent until it either naturally fades over time or you seek some form of lightening/removal procedure.

Yes. If your permanent makeup artist is highly trained, following all proper guidelines and sets high standards for themselves and their studio, then permanent makeup is safe.  It is your responsibility to do your homework and ask questions.  Below is just a few of the high standards practiced at the Girlz Ink Studio.

  1. The same strict sanitation and sterilization guidelines followed by doctors and hospitals are followed by all artists at the Girlz Ink Studio. We are in accordance with the Southern Nevada Health Department as well as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and OSHA.  Sterility and cleanliness are our highest priorities…and performing beautiful work of course.
  2. All Girlz Ink Artists must take an industry regulated Blood Borne Pathogens course every two years.
  3. Brand new, single use, high quality sterile needles are used for each client and are properly disposed of after that client’s procedure in a regulation Sharps Container.
  4. All machine parts are one time use and disposable after each client procedure.
  5. Brand-new, high-quality nitrile gloves are new for each client and changed out during the procedure as needed.
  6. A new plastic bed sheet is used for each client that is properly disposed of after each client procedure.
  7. A brand new disposable apron is worn by all Girlz Ink Artists and disposed of after each client procedure.
  8. All appropriate areas in the room are cleaned with a hospital-level disinfectant after each client.
  9. Girlz Ink uses only high quality tools, pigments and products and practice the highest standard of sterility and cleanliness keeping both the artist and the client safe.

The possibility that you would have any allergies, reactions, or complications from these procedures, pigments or any products used during your procedure is extremely rare, especially with today’s health standard. It is important to follow all aftercare instructions provided by your Girlz Ink Artist to keep any of the risks mentioned at a minimum or non-existent.

Yes. All artists at the Girlz Ink Studio are either a licensed Tattoo/Permanent Makeup Artist with the Southern Nevada Health Department (SNHD) or they are a part of our Apprenticeship program in accordance with the SNHD.   The Girlz Ink Studio is subject to unannounced inspections by SNHD health inspectors and take great pride letting you know that we have received an “A” on every single inspection dating back to the inception of Girlz Ink in 2001.

In most cases, discomfort is minimal and tolerable.  Here at the Girlz Ink Studio we use only the best and the strongest anesthetics allowed to us. They are specifically formulated for permanent makeup and they are safe.  With the combination of the pre-numb along with the secondary anesthetic, discomfort for most is very minimal.  With that said, there are some people who have hyper-sensitive skin, have a very low pain tolerance or do not anesthetize well and those clients may feel more discomfort than the average person.

The time a procedure will take can vary from artist to artist as we all work a little bit differently. Generally speaking, eyebrows will take two to three hours.  Eyeliner, depending on the style and thickness, will take two to three hours.  Lips depending on the style will take two to three hours.  Keep in mind these times quotes include client/artist discussions, the designing and drawing, the twenty-minute numbing time in addition to actually performing the procedure.

No, not at all.  Hair makes our work look dimensional and more natural.  Another fact to point out is that performing permanent makeup does not make your eyebrow hair or eyelashes fall out.

It will appear visually healed in about seven days.  Although it will appear visually healed in seven days, it will take an additional 4 to 6 weeks to be considered fully healed.  This is why we wait a minimum of six weeks before doing any touch up appointments.

How long your permanent makeup procedure lasts will depend on several different factors.  It can last years for some people, while others will need to refresh their color annually.  Although some clients will need to refresh their color annually, it is our experience that for most it will last much longer than that.

All permanent makeup, microblading and body tattoos will fade due to the exfoliation process which is the process of the epidermis continually shedding and regenerating itself. Permanent makeup will last longer for some and not as long for others due most importantly to lifestyle, health, and skin type. Some contributing factors that will accelerate fading are: sun exposure, using products that promote cell regeneration (Retin-A, Renova, Glycolics and Alpha Hydroxy Acids), extra oily skin which regenerates more rapidly, unhealthy skin, medications, and smoking.

There are a few reasons why permanent makeup typically will not last as long as a body tattoo. One reason is due to the type of pigment colors we use for permanent makeup.  If we were to use those bright, vivid colors used in body tattoos, that would help with longevity.   But we want our eyebrows to look soft and natural so we use pigments in shades of soft blondes, browns and taupe.  Those more natural shades tend to fade faster than the bright, vivid colors.  Sometimes a client will choose a brighter, more vivid color for their lip procedure and in that case…that color could last years and years.

The second reason is that we generally are not packing in a ton of solid color so it ends up looking like a sticker.  It’s our goal to mimic the look of topical makeup and in order to do that we are careful with our color saturation.  We don’t want our work to look like a tattoo…unless that’s what the client requests and once in a while we do get that request.

The third reason is we are tattooing the face and facial skin is way different than body skin.  Facial skin is thinner, more vascular, its oilier and it has more pores. All these aspects particular to facial skin contribute to pigment fading faster.  And consider this…our face, hence permanent makeup is exposed to all the elements, where body tattoos are often covered by clothing.

The cost of permanent makeup varies throughout the industry from very low all the way to very expensive.  Here at the Girlz Ink Studio it was important to us that we set our prices fair and that they reflect the skill and talent of our artists.  Please refer to our price list here

A touch-up is an appointment that is needed by some to complete the procedure process and end up with the desired finished result.  The touch-up appointment is a fine-tuning session to make any adjustments that may be needed or desired to the shape, fullness, and color, and to go over any areas that may not have taken color well the first time.

Some clients will need a touch up and some clients will not.  We cannot predict who will need one and who will not.  It will take four weeks of healing to determine if a client needs a touch up due to some of the color not healing in and showing visible light spots.  If all your color healed in, but you want to go darker or thicker than that would require a touch up.  If all your color healed in nicely, you do not want to go darker or thicker…you are happy with the healed result…you would not need a touch up.

No, touch ups are not included in the initial price.  The Girlz Ink Studio is a “pay as you go” studio.  Not everyone needs a touch up so we do not include it in our initial pricing. Touch up fees are charged separately as needed. Touch ups are to be done 6 to 12 weeks after the initial procedure date in order to receive “touch up pricing”.

If you have made the decision to have permanent makeup done, then you will need periodic maintenance appointments to keep your eyebrows, eyeliner and lips looking fantastic. This is called a “Color Refresh”.   A color refresh appointment is needed every 1-5 years after the completion of the initial procedure and/or any touch-up appointment(s) that may have been needed to complete the initial procedure.  Some clients do require an annual Color Refresh with the majority of clients requiring one every two to three years.  We have our Color Refresh fees listed here
