With extensive experience, high-quality vegan pigments, premium needles and tools, advanced techniques, and a strong commitment to safety and detail, our goal is to provide each client with a beautiful and elevated experience.Our treatments are designed to simplify your daily beauty routine while enhancing your natural features in a soft, elegant, and refined way.The intention is never to change who you are, but to create a polished enhancement of your own features so you still look and feel like yourself.
We recommend receiving permanent makeup first, two weeks after or consulting your Juvaderm specialist for clearance if the treatment was done recently in the area where you’d like to receive permanent makeup.
Microblading or Featherlight cannot completely hide or cover an existing eyebrow tattoo or previous permanent makeup.However, if the previous pigment has faded significantly, it may be possible to consider microblading, featherlight or another brow technique, depending on the remaining color, shape, saturation, and condition of the skin.For brow corrections or cover-ups details, we recommend booking a consultation so we can evaluate the existing work in person and determine the most suitable treatment option for you.https://DUNIAGHABOURBOOKING.as.me/?appointmentType=89261321
Microblading and Feather Light Brows are best suited for normal to dry skin types and for those who already have natural brow hair but need minimal filling in sparse areas.This technique is ideal when the goal is to softly restore what is missing while keeping the brows looking very natural and light.For oily skin, larger pores, or more textured skin, techniques such as Nano Brows, Hybrid Brows, or Powder Brows may be better suited.The best technique is always selected based on skin type, existing brow hair, and desired result.
Clients with a history of keloid scarring may not be suitable candidates for permanent makeup, as any procedure that creates trauma to the skin can potentially trigger additional keloid formation.If you have developed keloids in the past, we recommend discussing permanent makeup with your dermatologist or healthcare provider before scheduling a treatment.A consultation may also be required so we can review your history and determine whether treatment can be safely considered. In some cases, medical clearance may be requested before proceeding.
Permanent makeup can transform your daily routine by minimizing the time spent on makeup while enhancing your natural beauty. It offers long-lasting confidence and beauty, and each treatment is performed by our experienced master artists.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
For brows, results typically last between 1 to 2 years, while Lip Blush and Lash Line last around 2 years. We also offer short-term pigments for clients who prefer treatments that fade within 6 months to a year, providing flexible options for your beauty needs.
We offer specialized training taught by our master artist, Dunia Ghabour. For more details click here: https://www.duniaghabour.com/microblading-classes-greenwich-ct

Use water protective visor to shower and to keep products away from your brows. Important to keep face off the shower stream, lather your body from bottom up, at the end of your shower, wash your hair. Don’t trow away the visor, reseal it and use it again. Remember, face should only be washed in the sink for 10 days, NO EXCEPTIONS! When washing your face avoid your eyebrows. You can use a washcloth or disposable wipe to wash and clean face around the brows to ensure no other products are touching the brows.

WHAT TO EXPECT DAY BY DAY?:
Immediately after procedure eyebrow color will look more intense. You may love it, or you may feel like it’s a bit much – either way, that’s not the true shade the pigment will have. Your brows will look 30 - 40% lighter once the 6 weeks have passed and you will be back at the studio for your Top-Up Session. BE VERY PATIENT AND TRUST THE PROCESS.
Day 1-5:
Your eyebrows will become darker, crispy and filled in looking as they begin to form a scab.

Brows will start to scab off, allow this process to happen naturally. Don’t pick or scratch to prevent scarring or poor retention.
Day 11:
Top layer of skin should appear sealed, color will fade significantly and sometimes will appear like they are totally gone. Be patient & trust the process.
Day 28:
Eyebrows will slowly bloom back to the surface as the new milky skin settles in, heals completely and matures over the week 4 and 5.

FOLLOW-UP SESSION ( Perfecting Session):Many clients achieve beautiful healed results after their initial appointment and do not require a follow-up when proper pre-care and aftercare instructions are followed. We include one complimentary follow-up session with your initial procedure, as long as it is completed within the recommended 6–12 week timeframe after your appointment.Appointments requested after 12 weeks are considered a Yearly Color Boost and are no longer eligible as a complimentary enhancement session.This session is intended to touch-up refine and perfect the original work created during your first appointment. We will only adjust the areas originally designed and treated that require a color touch-up or minor refinement. Any requests to modify or add areas outside of the original design will be considered a new treatment and will be charged accordingly. If refinements are desired, please remember to follow pre-care and aftercare instructions and allow proper time in your schedule to complete this session. This appoinemtn follows the same healing process as your initial procedure, and the post-care cycle must be completed to achieve the best possible healed results.Please note that this one-time complimentary follow-up session is scheduled on the same day as your initial appointment. If it is not scheduled at that time, the client is responsible for contacting the studio at 203-444-6303 to arrange the follow-up appointment within the recommended timeframe.
ENHANCEMENT SESSION:
After your treatment has fully healed, if you feel your skin has retained less pigment than expected, an additional Enhancement Session may be considered. Permanent makeup is performed on living skin, and every client heals and retains pigment differently. Our approach is intentionally soft and refined, with the goal of enhancing your natural features rather than creating an overly saturated or heavy result. For this reason, we do not recommend excessive pigment implantation simply to create a darker appearance. If additional pigment or minor refinement is appropriate once healing is complete, an Enhancement Session may be scheduled. This session is intended to touch up, refine, and perfect the original work created during your previous appointment. Adjustments are limited to the areas originally designed and treated that may require additional color or minor refinement. Any request to change the original design or add new areas will be considered a new treatment and charged accordingly. The Enhancement Session may be scheduled no sooner than 6 weeks after your Perfecting Session and no later than 16 weeks. After the 16-week window, the appointment will no longer qualify as an Enhancement Session and will be scheduled at the studio’s applicable Color Boost or Maintenance rate. Please note that the Enhancement Session is not complimentary and will be charged according to the studio’s current Enhancement Session rate. The same pre-care and aftercare requirements apply. Please plan accordingly, as the treated area will go through the same healing process and post-care cycle as your previous treatment.
PRE-CARE & AFTER-CARE:
Clients must follow pre-care and after-care instructions before undergoing a treatment. These steps are crucial to achieving the best healed results. Results will vary from client to client, and we cannot guarantee your results. If you cannot fulfill the proper pre-care and post-care instructions, please plan your appointment for a later date. Improper preparation and care will lead to poor results that we cannot fix, and you will be subjected to cancellation fees or declining of all future appointment requests.
BROW TATTOO CORRECTION OR LIGHTENING SESSION FROM OTHER STUDIO/ARTIST:
We are extremely selective when working over existing tattoos from other tattoo artists. All previous PMU/tattoos done elsewhere will need approval. Please submit face shot photos to 203-444-6303 or duniaghabour@gmail.com for review.
GRATUITIES:
Tips usually average 18-25% of the treatment price. These can be given in cash or charged to a credit card. All tips are much appreciated and go directly to your specialist!
HEALED RESULTS:
Permanent makeup is a form of cosmetic tattooing performed on living skin. Because every person heals and retains pigment differently, healed results will naturally vary from client to client.
GUARANTEES:At Dúnia Ghabour Beauty Atelier, every step of your treatment is thoughtfully considered with the goal of providing the best possible healed result.Even when every technical step is performed with great care, permanent makeup is still performed on living skin. For this reason, exact pigment retention, final color, longevity, and a specific healed result cannot be guaranteed. Following all applicable pre-care instructions before your treatment and aftercare instructions during the healing process is essential, as both play an important role in healing, pigment retention, and the quality of your final result.
LONG-TERM CARE:
Apply sunscreen SPF 40 or higher daily directly on top of your cosmetic tattoo to aid the longevity of the treatment. A yearly touch-up is recommended to keep your cosmetic tattoo looking its best. Do not apply products containing Alpha Hydroxyls (AHA’s), Retin-A, Salicylic, Lactic or Glycolic Acids, Benzoyl Peroxide, Proactiv, or bleaching/lightening creams to the eyebrows. If you are planning a chemical peel, laser procedure, or an MRI scan, inform the technician of your permanent cosmetics.
NO REFUNDS/NO EXCHANGE/NO TRANSFERABLE:
All treatments, services, and products are non-refundable, non-exchangeable, and non-transferable, especially if services have been booked or treatments have been initiated. No exceptions.
