• Wash your scalp with non-abrasive, gentle shampoo the night before or the morning of the procedure. 
• Eat before the procedure. 
• If experiencing breakouts on your scalp, we are not a medical establishment so we are not allowed to suggest what to use for any problems or disorders. Instead, please visit a dermatologist or appropriate medical doctor to resolve this issue prior to your procedure.
• The week before the procedure, wash your scalp with non-abrasive, gentle shampoo. After washing the scalp, moisturize the skin with some form of skin moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated. Doing so will allow the ink to be properly absorbed.
• Refrain from sun tanning to avoid burning and peeling of the skin.
• You may bring a clean hat or scarf to loosely cover your head after the treatment if so desired, but not recommended.
• Hair Piece – Please do not wear a hair piece at least 5-7 days prior to your scheduled procedure. As wearing a hair piece may limit oxygen flow to the scalp and the ink may not be fully absorbed into the follicle.
• Hair Length – Please contact your artist prior to the procedure to discuss proper hair length the day of the scheduled procedure.
  
• Refrain from the use of alcohol, aspirin, aspirin-containing medications, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning medications for seven days before and two days after any procedure. Refrain from judgment-altering drugs for at least 24 hours prior to any procedure. No medication should ever be discontinued without first consulting your physician.
  
• Refrain from consuming coffee and energy drink the day of your appointment.
  
• Sensitivity is heightened during menstrual cycles
  
• If you have been diagnosed with cancer or any extreme illnesses in the past, we require for you to have been in remission for a minimum of 1 year and have a signed note by a licensed physician in order to receive scalp micropigmentation.
