For clients coming from Loudoun County
Soft powder brows,
a drive from Loudoun
Mugi works from one studio, in Annandale. If you are coming from Ashburn, Sterling, South Riding or Leesburg, here is what the trip involves and how to find out first whether it is worth making.
A question, and a photo only if you want to. Mugi reads it and answers herself.
The trip, honestly
The studio is at 7857 Heritage Dr #330, Annandale, inside Fairfax County. From Ashburn and Sterling the usual routes are Route 28 South to I-66 East, or the Dulles Toll Road to the Beltway; from Leesburg it is longer again.
Plan for two trips. The first appointment is a two-to-three-hour slot, most of it spent drawing and agreeing the shape before any pigment. The second is about six weeks later, once the first has healed.
Suite 330, on the first floor. The building has several businesses in it, so if you are not sure you are in the right place, call or text and she will come down to you.
Monday to Friday, 10:30am to 5pm, closed Sunday. Saturday hours vary — the booking page shows what is actually available.
What you would be driving for
The shape is agreed before any pigment
It is drawn on your face and adjusted in a mirror until you say yes. If you cannot get to a shape you are happy with, nothing is tattooed.
One person, start to finish
Mugi answers the first message, draws the shape, does the work and sees you at the second session. There is nobody to be handed on to.
Work you can look at, labeled
The results page shows her work photographed on the day it was done, labeled as fresh rather than healed. Healed photographs are added only with the interval stated and the client’s written permission, as follow-ups come in.
What it costs
Soft powder and ombré brows are $600, the same price whichever direction you drive from. That covers:
- The time it takes to map and agree the shape, before anything is tattooed
- The appointment itself, two to three hours, with topical numbing
- EU-compliant vegan pigments
Ask Mugi how the six-week follow-up is charged before you book, so the cost is settled before your appointment rather than at it. Later touch-ups are priced by how long it has been.
Questions from Loudoun
It is in Annandale, inside Fairfax County, so it is a real drive from most of Loudoun: Route 28 South to I-66 East, or the Dulles Toll Road to the Beltway, and longer again from Leesburg. Traffic decides the time more than the distance does, so check a map for the hour you would travel.
Usually two. The first appointment is a two-to-three-hour slot, and the second is about six weeks later, once the first has healed. Ask Mugi how the six-week follow-up is charged before you book, so the cost is settled before your appointment rather than at it. Later touch-ups are priced by how long it has been.
Yes. Send Mugi a question and, if you like, a bare-faced photo of your brows. She answers it herself, and a photo is enough for a first opinion on which technique she would suggest, or whether she would suggest waiting. Nothing is booked by asking.
The results page shows her work photographed on the day it was done, labeled as fresh rather than healed. Healed photographs are added only with the interval stated and the client’s written permission, as follow-ups come in. Client reviews are on Google, where Mugi cannot edit them.
Keep the brows dry for the first 7 days. For the first 14, keep makeup, heavy sweating, swimming, saunas, direct sun, and retinol or acid products away from them, and let the flakes come off on their own. The color is judged at about 6 weeks, not before. Darker before it lightens is the usual pattern. It is not the same thing as pus or discharge, skin that is hot to the touch, spreading redness, a fever, or pain that is getting worse rather than better after the first couple of days: those need a doctor or an urgent care clinic the same day, before you wait for a reply from Mugi.

Ask before you drive
Send Mugi a question and a photo of your brows if you have one. She reads these herself, and you can decide about the drive once you know what she would suggest.
