Color Correction
Angela can do color correction on brows, eyeliner, etc. Most often I color correct gray brows. If your brows aren't completely saturated with color being super dark gray. Removing them with laser or saline might be your best option. If they are a lighter gray, green, red, pink, etc. Depending on your longer goals color correction might be an option. I usually recommend doing one session that is only color correction to get the best results. Before we do anything over it.
Color Correction for brows
This client wanted Nano Brows touched up, and I recommended a color correction and after the color correction she liked the results and decided to wait a year before doing Nano Brows. Sometimes you don't need a full Nano brow, Powder brow re application. Sometimes just adding some warmth to the color it will be enough to make someone happy.
This client had quite dark gray brows that were aging her. Getting just a color correction made her look so good, and didn't need anything more because she liked her shape.
This client lived farther away from me and wanted to do the color correction and nano brows in the same appt. At her touch appt we will tweak more with the shape, but we were able to balance a bit more and will do more at her touch up.

How do I choose color for color correction?
When you come in for your consultation or when I see them I will decide the color and how saturated the color needs to be to help with the color correction. You need to go opposite of the color wheel to neutralize the color. So if you have green brows than red will neutralize. If you have gray it is orange. I also have to take into consideration how dark or how bright the color needs to be to not add too much of the color correcting color.
As a Permanent Makeup artist you are always giving your best guess based off experience, skin tone, hair color, etc. Some people will change the color drastically, purge and not hold as much ink as usual, and the tails might disappear. That is what the second appt is for. its for all the details to perfect and make you absolutely LOVE the healed result.

What to Expect During Your Color Correction Appointment
1. Consultation
We discuss your goals, existing brows, past PMU, desired shape and color. I will give recomendations and hear feedback.
2. Prepping and Numbing the area.
I will use an alcohol wipe to sanitize the area, scrub the skin, and then place the numbing on the skin and put plastic over it.
3. Color Selection
Pigment is selected based on what color we need to saturate and how dark or light it needs to be for your end result.
5. Color Correction Procedure
I shad over the area using a tattoo machine and after doing first pass on one brow I will renumb, so you are in as little pain as possible.
6. After care Instructions
You'll receive detailed instructions for caring for your area while they heal.
What do I do if I have past Microblading/PMU?
Having past Microblading or PMU tattoo doesn't make you a bad candidate for Nano brows, but there are alot of questions that I would ask and want to see a picture or in person to see what the work looks like, and if it can be changed or tweaked. If its too saturated or if you don't love the shape and want it changed significantly than you might want it removed first. If you want to schedule a consultation we can figure it out together. you could also be a good candidate for color correction.
Can you fix your Old PMU or Microbladed Brows, or do you need to remove them with laser or saline.

Healing Process
Remember your skin will heal differently and some people heal in shorter time, some longer, some have more skin that peels, and some have none. But this is a timeline that is similar to a lot of people.
Days 1-3
Brows may appear darker and warmer and more defined. You might wonder if you made the right choice or think it's too dark etc. Especially if you want from little to no brow hair. Trust the process.
Days 4-7
Brows will start flaking some skin, the color can dissappear it's called the ghosting phase. Trust the process.
Days 10-14
You will be done flaking and can shower and swim, hot tub, and sauna again. You might feel itchy because its healing but that's ok. You might even get to the point you feel they are too light and you might have gotten used to the initial color, but remember we can always choose a darker color at your touch up appt.
Weeks 2-4
Brows will start to settle and you will start to see what the color and what the strokes will look like healed.
Weeks 6-8
You will get your touch up appt and can share anything you want tweaked or changed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Much does Color Correction Cost?
I charge $250 for one color correction session. It is one appt it does not include a touch up.
How often do you need a touch-up?
Depends on how saturated they are and how dark gray, How well you take care of them, and the way your skin holds on to the ink. It can vary for everyone.
Can I wear Makeup after Color Correction?
For the first 10-14 days you are not supposed to put anything but the balm on, but after that time frame yes you can put makeup on them. As long as your skin is done flaking that is a good judgement it is not an opened wound stil..
What Should I do before my appointment?
If you have any questions or concerns ask me. If you want to do any facials or anything like that do it before. 6-24 hours before you should eliminate or minimize caffeine and if you are aon a blood thinner that you can skip one day than do that. Come hydrated and eat something. Also I recommend comfortable clothing you will be laying down on a massage bed for a couple hours.
Does a Color Correction Hurt?
When I do it I do a primary numbing, and once I do a first pass than I do a secondary numbing. Most of my clients say they couldn't feel anything. Especially after secondary numbing. Most people say they can feel the vibration, but that is mostly it. I have been told it does not hurt the way microblading does, and I can attest to that.
Can I get a color correction with oily skin?
Yes any skin type can get a color correction
Can a Color Correction cover old microblading?
Depending on the color and saturation level sometimes yes and sometimes you might want warmer or darker brown once the color correction heals. If u aren't sure you can fill out the form and do a consultation.

It depends on the saturation level and color and how well you take care of it.
What Angela's Clients say about her Permanent Makeup work?
Color Correction
" She wasn't just about the money!!"
"Angela with Angelpink_beauty explained the whole process to me showed me how the colors would fade and told me to do color correction first and see how I liked it and then we can go from there. My brows were grey from someone else's work. The color came out great. I will be getting more color once summer is over. She wasn't about just taking my money to do the services it was about what was actually gonna make me look best. Services were in South Jordan."
Nano Brows
"After being dissappointed they are Wonderful!!"
"After being disappointed with three Microblading treatments over the years in the Ogden area I was so excited to have Color Correction and Nano Brows at Angel Pink Beauty, they are Wonderful!"
Permanent Eyeliner
"It turned out so good!"
"I recently got permanent eyeliner. I was numb the whole time. Numbing cream was put on before starting. Then after the skin was broken more numbing cream was put on. It was a great experience I'll tell you that. I was twitching, and felt like I was trying to open my eyes. And it also felt ticklish, and I had to tell myself don't go scratch. LOL! It turned out so good. I haven't worn makeup in idk how many years. So I was excited to do this. I have a touch up included in price. I highly recommend Angela. She located in WJ, Utah @Angelpink_beauty She also does wedding parties. I highly suggest reaching out. You will not regret it."
