All appointments booked at Scrubd Esthetics for any treatment service are subject to our late, cancellation, and no-show policy. All notices to cancel an appointment(s), regardless of whether the appointment is rescheduled at that time, must be submitted with a minimum of 48 hours' notice. Treatment appointment times are reserved for the client requesting that appointment. Appointments that are not cancelled/ rescheduled without ample notice are unable to be offered to other clients requesting that service. Should a client not attend their appointment without providing notice or cancel their appointment(s) within the 48-hour window, a missed appointment fee will be charged for $100.
If a client arrives later then 15 minutes for their appointment, their appointment time will be forfeited. This will be considered a no-show resulting in a cancellation fee of $100.
If a client has a history of reoccurring cancellations/ no-shows for their appointment times without giving ample notice, Scrubd Esthetics reserves the right to request full payment of services upfront prior to treating the client, or refusal of treatment all together.
Cancellation requests received AFTER business hours are considered received upon clinic opening on the next business day.
Payment at your appointment may be made using a debit, credit card, Venmo, or cash.

Neuromodulators are wrinkle-relaxing injections of botulinum toxin – commercially known as Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, Xeomin or Jeuveau – that are used to treat wrinkles, frown lines and crow's feet.
Unlike dermal fillers, neuromodulators don't fill wrinkles from beneath. Botox (and the others) instead address “dynamic” wrinkles. These are wrinkles that form as the result of a muscle contraction under the skin. These wrinkles form when we make expressions such as smiling, frowning, squinting, and others.
You can begin to see results as soon as 48 hours after your treatment, and the lines may continue to fade up to two weeks afterward. The effects can last up to 3-6 months. The effects of neuromodulators will gradually wear off over time until the treated area regains full movement again. This is when you will know it's time to have the area retreated.
Typically, clients will receive their follow-up appointments every 3-6 months as needed.
Minimal discomfort is normal. Bruising or swelling are also common. For those who are receiving lip injections, you will be numbed for 15 minutes prior to your appointment to ensure your comfort. No numbing is required for other injection services.
Results are seen right away. Fillers are not permanent. How long they last depends on things like the type of filler and where it's injected. They usually last between 6 and 18 months.
While pain tolerance does vary between clients, most clients report little to no pain throughout their procedure. We have even had clients fall asleep during their appointments! To ensure your comfort, topical anesthetics are used throughout the procedure. Having the procedure during your menstrual cycle may increase your sensitivity. So planning accordingly can help.
Microblading is a form of permanent makeup where a small blade is used to create individual hair-like strokes throughout the brow. This is a semi-permanent procedure, with results lasting 1-3 years.
Microblading is meant to be a natural enhancement, and to create the appearance of full, beautiful brows. This service is best for clients who have fuller brow hair, and are looking to naturally perfect their shape and add fullness. This procedure is not ideal for those who have sparse/absent brow hair. If you are looking for a filled in/makeup look, combination or ombre/powder brows are a better fit for you!
Microblading heals best on young, normal/dry skin. Those with combination/oily or mature skin are not candidates for microblading! You are better suited for a combination or ombre/powder brows.
Nano brows is a machine technique that fills in sparse, thin eyebrows for a thicker appearance. The procedure involves the use of a super fine needle to create natural hair-strokes.
This service is a beautiful look for all skin types (including oily skin), and heals very soft and beautiful. This is a great service for those who are not good microblading candidates due to skin type contradictions.
Nano brows do not cut open the skin, but instead implant pigment by the use of a tattoo machine. This causes less trauma to the skin, creates better healed results, and longer lasting results.
After your touch up, healed results can last for several years.
A combination brow service combines hair strokes and machine shading. Results typically last 1-3 years depending on your skin type.
If you have naturally sparse brow hair, no brow hair, or uneven growing brow hair, a combination brow is perfect for you!
Hair strokes are placed in the front of the brow or completely through the brow (We can discuss the difference at your appointment). Then soft shading is blended into the brow to give a more 3D result. This is a great option for those who are looking for a more defined or filled in brow that still has some hair strokes as well. We can add as much or as little shading to give a variety of different looks!
This service is a beautiful look for all skin types (including oily/aging skin), and heals very soft and beautiful.
An ombre brow is also known as a powder brow. This service has no hair strokes and is made up completely by machine shading. It is ideal for all skin types and youthful or mature skin!
An ombre brow is semi-permanent and will fade over time. However, this style will typically last longer than other brow services & creates the least amount of trauma to the skin. Like other types of brow services, this style will fade over time, but does so the most naturally.
Ombre brows may look intense at first, but the results heal about 40% softer, leaving a powdery finish. If you fill in your brows every day and want the least amount of maintenance, this service is right for you!
Permanent makeup is considered a tattoo but is also designed to fade over time. Fading begins over 1-3 years after the procedure is done. Many factors contribute to how fast your tattoo will fade. These include skin type, lifestyle, age, metabolism, medications, and pigment color. The sun and some kinds of lighting (tanning beds) can affect the rate at which these pigments are broken down. Following the given aftercare instructions is critical to getting your best healed results!
Please note that final results vary and CANNOT be guaranteed due to the nature of skin as it heals. A follow-up appointment is STRONGLY recommended in 4-8 weeks after your initial session. This is where we can assess your pigment retention and perfect your permanent makeup! Typically, touching up your brows every 12-18 months (as needed) is most common. Touch-ups are normal and expected for permanent cosmetics.
Initial sessions take 2-3 hours. Touch up appointments take 2 hours.
Yes! Permanent makeup is a two-step process, and a touch up is strongly recommended to get the best results. Also known as the “perfecting session”, a touch up is done 4-8 weeks after your initial session. This is where we assess your retention, perfect the shape and color, and add more dimension. Touch ups are very important and add to the overall results and longevity of your permanent makeup.
After the initial two step process, most clients prefer to touch up their permanent makeup annually.
We require that anyone who has had their brows tattooed by another artist to text me a picture before booking an appointment. This way we can discuss price, your options, and schedule sufficient time. Any client coming to us from a different artist is considered a new client, with full prices.
**Not all previous work can be covered up. You may require removal first. To work over old permanent makeup, it usually needs to be faded at least 80% to be successfully covered.
**All artists use different pigments, techniques, and stroke patterns. For that reason, we will not “touch up” another artist's work.
Yes! Scrubd Esthetics does offer saline tattoo removal and emergency removal of permanent makeup and small tattoos. Please continue through our FAQ page to the Saline Removal section to read more about these services and how to schedule your removal today.
Eye enhancements are a form or permanent makeup utilizing a machine to apply eyeliner in the shape of a wing, wedge, or slight addition to the lash lines. This beautiful form of liner accentuates and enhances the shape., color, and size of your eyes.
Eyeliner tattoos can add depth, definition, and lift to your eyes so that they appear larger and more striking. The lashes will also appear thicker and fuller.
For those who prefer a more subtle look, the lash enhancement will define and frame your eyes by applying a thin line of color between the lashes to create a fuller, thicker appearance.
This procedure is the perfect solution for anyone with allergies to cosmetics, contact lens sensitivity, dexterity issues, vision problems, and/or an active lifestyle.
Eyeliner tattoos will last 3-5 years, however, the color retention varies according to the individuals skin types, lifestyle, body chemistry, and age.
Factors that affect longevity: the thicker the skin, the pigment will fade faster), and sun exposure (utilizing sunscreen will preserve your permanent make up longer).
After the treatment, your eyelids may become bruised or swollen. Ice packs will be provided at your appointment. You can also use ice at home to help reduce swelling.
It is normal for there to be fading of the color during the first 2 weeks and patchy sections, as the skin is still healing, and the pigment will return to the surface in about 30 days. The outcome will be subtle.
Please review and follow your aftercare instructions as closely as possible. Any lack of adherence to these instructions will affect your healed results.
