It is a meticulous pigment placement at the very base of your lashes to create the illusion of a thicker, darker lash root. Unlike traditional eyeliner, there is no "makeup" line on the eyelid; it simply provides a soft, structural depth that makes the eyes appear clearer and more awake.

The Enhancement is about discreet definition. While Nina also offers a Classic Liner and a soft "Dusty Shadow" effect for those seeking an editorial lift, the Lashline Enhancement is for the woman who wants her eyes to hold attention without looking like she is wearing a product.

The eyes heal remarkably quickly, usually within 5 to 7 days. You may experience very minor swelling similar to the effect of a good cry for the first 24–48 hours. Nina recommends avoiding mascara and lash growth serums during this week to protect the pigment.

No. All lash extensions must be professionally removed at least 3 days prior to your session. You may have a new set applied two weeks after your enhancement is fully healed.

Absolutely. In fact, Nina specializes in using a sophisticated machine technique that is low-trauma and incredibly gentle on the delicate, thin skin of the eyelids. This ensures the pigment heals softly without "bleeding" into the fine lines.

It is a refined, semi-permanent enhancement designed to restore the natural vitality and symmetry of your lips. Unlike traditional "lipstick" tattoos, this technique creates a soft, translucent tint that appears healthy and balanced rather than "done".

The artistry is semi-permanent, typically lasting 2–3 years. The color will naturally and gracefully fade over time, allowing for subtle adjustments to your aesthetic as you evolve.

Discomfort is minimal and managed with professional-grade topical numbing. Most clients describe the sensation as a light, rhythmic pressure or a soft scratch.

Hydration is essential for optimal pigment retention. Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours prior. If you have ever experienced a cold sore, even once, you must consult your physician for an antiviral prescription to be taken before and after your appointment.

Initial healing takes roughly 7–10 days. You may experience mild dryness or soft peeling. The color will appear quite vibrant initially, but it will settle into a beautiful, lived-in glow once fully healed.

Yes. Nina specializes in Advanced Neutralization, a technique that balances cool or dark undertones first to create a warm, even canvas before applying your target shade.

Cosmetic tattooing is not recommended for those who are pregnant or nursing, currently on Accutane, or experiencing active skin irritations or cold sores.

It is an approach rooted in high-end editorial roots priorizing glowing, real skin and balanced definition. I believe makeup should look as sophisticated in person as it does through a camera lens.

Arrive with a clean, well-hydrated face. I recommend staying consistent with your proven skincare routine and avoiding new, aggressive treatments in the two weeks leading up to your event.

In an industry that often prioritizes volume, Nina Gashi prioritizes restraint. Every appointment is a dedicated block of time where you are seen as an individual canvas. The goal is a result that feels quietly elevated and entirely aligned with who you are.

Every new appointment begins with an in-depth consultation to discuss your lifestyle, skin architecture, and aesthetic goals to ensure we achieve the perfect "edit" of your features.
