MICROBLADING
-
A small tool is used to create strokes that mimic hair. When healed, microblading blends beautifully into your natural eyebrow hair for a “your brows but better” look. Maris specializes in this technique.
Best for clients with already full brow hair looking for more definition & added fullness. Microblading is not a good option for clients with sparse areas or little natural hair growth, and works best for normal/dry, young skin. If you are looking for natural results, but aren’t an ideal candidate for microblading, don’t stress! Super natural results are still very possible with a combination brow, powder brow nano brow.
May require a touchup sessions to achieve desired results. Can last 1-2 years before requiring additional maintenance.

nANO BROW
-
The latest, best, low trauma hairstroke technique in permanent makeup! Perfect for those wanting the most natural result with a much lower risk of scar tissue than microblading.
A Nano Brow, or machine hairstroke brow, is a technique that uses a single needle tattoo cartridge to create hairstrokes. The result is very natural and looks/heals similarly to microblading. Machine hairstrokes allow for a super natural flow that integrates with the existing brow hair seamlessly. Can be used in a combination brow (see below) instead of microblading. Best for those who want a natural looking brow, or those who have little natural brow hair/sparse areas. Suitable for all skin types, including combination/oily or aging skin.

May require a touchup sessions to achieve desired results. Can last 1-2 years before requiring additional maintenance.
POWDER BROW
-
A powder brow, or shading, is a fully shaded brow that is darkest at the tail and lightest/softest at the front. A machine creates small dots under the skin, mimicking powder makeup. Shading can be as soft or as bold as you like, and is very customizable. This style is ideal for all skin types. It can actually look just as natural as microblading if that’s your desired look. Please note: fully shaded brows look dark and intense at first, but soften a LOT as they heal.

May require a touchup sessions to achieve desired results. Can last 2-4 years before requiring additional maintenance.
HYBRID BROW
-
A Hybrid Brow is microblading or nano plus shading. Maris specializes in this technique.
There are two types of combination brow: the first has strokes throughout the whole brow, and shading through the outer 2/3. The second has strokes just in the front of the brow, and only shading through the rest. Extremely customizable for a natural result with extra fullness or a stronger, more defined brow that looks more filled in. Works well for those with little natural brow hair/sparse areas. Best for normal/dry and combination skin, sometimes aging skin on a case by case basis.

LIP BLUSH
-
Lip blushing is a cosmetic tattooing technique ideal for enhancing your natural lips. Lip blush can improve the color, shape and definition of your lips, even out your lip tone and bring lost color back to the borders of your lips. Color is customizable, but at Wild Violet we specialize in subtle enhancements. Note, lip blush looks very bold when freshly done and heals very natural, like a tinted lip balm or lip stain.

SALINE LIGHTENING
-
Ideal for clients with less than desirable previous brow tattoo that needs to be lightened before a correction can be booked.

Yes, for over 3 years Maris worked alongside the team at Highbrow.
Although she enjoyed her time working at another studio, in 2023 Maris realized she was ready to own her own studio again and founded Wild Violet.
If I was a client at Highbrow, can I book a color boost?
Yes! You may book a color boost with Maris. Once a client, always a client!
if you had work done elsewhere, not by Maris, you would book a ‘New Treatment’.
If you have had work done with other artists from the old studio, you may be able to have a ‘Color Boost’ not a new treatment. Please email us if this is the case to confirm.

The pain level for the procedure is considered mild for most clients. Topical anesthetics are used to make sure you comfortable during the procedure; however, pain tolerance varies from client to client.
-
We require anyone who has had their brows/lips previously tattooed/microbladed by another artist to book an in-person consultation before booking an appointment.
We cannot take all correction cases and will need to see your previous work to determine if we can take you on as a client. Working over previous tattooing is very difficult and can be unpredictable as the type of pigment/method used by the previous artist is unknown.
Correction appointments are far more time consuming and require higher level of expertise. ANYONE with previous work MUST be pre-approved by Maris prior to booking. If you arrive at your appointment with previous work and did not reach out to us before hand, your appointment will be canceled and you will be charged a cancelation fee.
We also offer Saline Lighting/Removal for those clients who are not good correction candidates!
-
Factors such as skin type, lifestyle, age, metabolism, medications, and pigment color affect the longevity of your cosmetic tattoo. The sun will also affect the rate at which these pigments are broken down. A touch-up anywhere between 1 to 4 years depending on your skin and lifestyle will be required to keep your brows/lips looking fresh!
-
The initial sessions take about 2-2.5 hours, depending on the type of appointment. During this session, I will shape and style your brows/lips and make any changes needed. We then follow with pigment color selection. Once you are satisfied with the choices, we will apply numbing cream and begin the procedure.
The second perfecting session takes place 6-12 weeks after the initial session. This session will take approximately 1-1.5 hours to complete.

FIRST 14 DAYS:
DAY 1: Approx. 30 minutes after your procedure, wet one of the single use cotton pads provided in your kit with bottled water. gently pat brows and fan dry. Wait an additional 30 minutes and repeat once. This evening, follow the steps below.
DAYS 2-14:
If soap is provided: Use a clean fingertip to gently wash brows with the provided soap in the direction of the hair growth, no rubbing! Rinse with cool water and pat brows dry a clean paper towel. Then, Apply a rice grain size dab of ointment. Ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin. Repeat steps 2 times daily, AM & PM.
If no soap is provided: dampen a cotton pad with bottled water and wipe your brows in the direction of your hair broth. Blot dry with a clean paper tower. Then, Apply a rice grain size dab of ointment. Ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin. Repeat steps 2 times daily, AM & PM.
The supplies provided in your kit are enough to last through the initial session and touch-up. Should you run out before your touchup, a follow-up kit is available for $15.00.
WHAT TO AVOID:
No products (makeup/skin care, etc.) on brows for 14 days other than the provided soap + balm
No picking or scratching brows and do not sleep on your face (use a clean pillowcase) for 14 days
No swimming pools, hot tubs, very hot showers, sweating, etc. for 14 days. Use provided face shields when washing hair
Avoid facials, botox, chemical treatments or microdermabrasion, etc. for 3 weeks
No UV exposure, direct sunlight or tanning for 4 weeks, apply SPF 30+ daily after 3 weeks. UV exposure will fade/discolor pigment!
No harsh products or products containing regeneration factors or exfoliants on forehead or brows for 4 weeks. These products should never be applied directly to brows, they will fade/discolor pigment!
-
DAY 1: Brows may look a little harsh and bright. Redness, puffiness, soreness will dissipate within about 24 hrs.
DAY 2-5: Your brows will feel darker and bolder. This is temporary and it’s normal to worry they will stay this dark (they won’t!).
DAY 5-10: Brows will begin to flake depending on the technique performed, may either shed in chunks, or in little pieces. Itching is normal.
DAY 10-14: Brows will appear several shades lighter once scabbing is gone. It's normal to worry something is wrong. The top layer of skin is fresh and is muting the pigment.
DAY 15-21: Brows will begin to appear darker and you will see some of the color returning. It’s common to be patchy in spots, and to feel that brows aren’t dark enough.
6-12 WEEKS:This is the time frame you schedule your second appointment. This is crucial.! This is where we assess your new brows and see how your skin reacted. Here we can touch up the shape, color and any faded spots to create the look of even fuller brows.

Your lips must be moisturized and not cracked, dry or chapped. Use a gentle scrub 3-5 days prior to your appointment and I recommend using Aquaphor in the week prior to keep lips as moisturized as possible.
