How do I know which technique is best for me?
You can always send me a photo via email at info@marijacalija.com, Instagram profile or Viber – the photo should be taken in daylight, in full frontal view and without additional eyebrow makeup.
In addition, I recommend that you schedule a free consultation where we will find the ideal solution and clear up any doubts.
How are the color and shape of the eyebrows determined?
The shape of the eyebrows is determined according to the golden proportion of the face, the height of the arch, the distance between the sclera, the physiognomy and structure of the face, and the color is determined with relation to the existing natural hairs or in relation to the natural hair color if there are no hairs on the eyebrows.
Is it necessary to shave or pluck the eyebrows before or after the treatment?
No, it is preferable to have as many natural hairs as possible so that the drawn hairs blend better with them as a whole and look as natural as possible. If the client does not have natural eyebrows, the hairs are drawn so that they look completely natural.
What is pigment retouching and when is it done?
Retouching the pigment is a type of correction, whereby the intensity of drawn hairs is increased and the shape and color of the eyebrows can be partially modified. Retouching is usually done once a year, with many works looking great for much longer, a couple of years at a time. After a year, the client should call, come for a consultation, and then decide whether a retouch is necessary.
Is permanent eyebrow makeup harmful to existing natural eyebrows?
The existing natural hairs are not removed, it is even desirable to have them to blend better with the drawing as a whole. Only those hairs that may stand out of the ideal shape when drawing the shape of the future eyebrows are plucked.
