You just got your beautiful power brows done, now what? How do you take care of them so they look fresh and frame your face nicely. Every individual is different and every person heals at a different rate. Some people heal within 5-7 days, while others may take 10 or more days to heal. Please allow up to 14 days for your brows to heal and return to your regular routine on day 15.
