What should i expect during my appointment?
Prior to arriving for your appointment, you will fill out and submit your electronic consent forms. When you arrive, we will clean and remove all makeup and begin taking pictures. We will then discuss the number of freckles desired and placement. Next, we begin a pre draw of your future freckles, this is the most important part! Once the pre draw is done we will then have you look over them and make any necessary adjustments. We will NEVER move on to the next step until you are 100% SATISFIED. Once we are given the go ahead, we begin manually creating the freckles. After the first pass we apply a numbing solution and then finish the next couple passes applying additional numbing solution as needed. Once freckles are completed, we will take after pictures and go over after care. You’ll be a mild facial cleanser to use daily for 7 days.
How can i complete a touch up?
We offer all NEW clients the ability to book a touch up freckle service for $100 if completed within 45 days of their initial freckle session.
Touch up sessions are good for those wanting to achieve a fuller layered freckle look or who may want to darken or perfect the freckles they received during their original session. For those wanting to add more freckles / layer, the touch up pricing will only include placement that was booked during your initial session. Freckle placement add on will be subjected to additional fees.
