Microblading, is the process of manually implanting color pigment beneath the surface of the skin by means of tiny, sterile, disposable needles to produce the appearance of hair strokes, makeup, and to naturally enhance the face.

The purpose of microblading is to enhance the features with natural looking eyebrows. Microblading is more subtle – it is meant to be a natural looking enhancement. Traditional tattoos use electric tools and ink while microblading procedures use a manual hand tool.

Please do not tweeze, thread or wax your eyebrows, the harier the better!. Before your appointment starts a brief consultation, followed by measuring and shaping. Your regular brow maintenance of tweezing, threading, waxing and/or tinting may continue once the brows have healed.

Everyone has a different pain level. An anesthetic is applied for numbing during the procedure for minimal discomfort. Every effort is made to ensure you remain comfortable for the duration of the procedure.

The healed results of microblading last between 12-18 months. The variation in time is determined by your lifestyle, sun exposure and skin type. Someone with an oilier skin type tends to experience results that fade quicker compared to someone with a drier skin.

The color will appear darker through the first week or so. This is because the pigment takes around seven days to enter the deeper layers of the skin. After seven to ten days, exfoliation takes place. The top layer of the skin peels off, leaving a softer, lighter color below. The result leaves you with softer and more natural lines. As the treated area continues to heal, itching may occur. The complete healing process typically takes six weeks.

Absolutely, this is a great option for those who suffer from Alopecia or have been through Chemotherapy. Microblading can even correct past wax catastrophe, over tweezing, or the normal hair thinning.

Microblading can be done over an existing brow tattoo with a combo of shading, however the old tattoo must be significantly faded for the hair strokes to show through and look natural.

Yes! A touch up session after 4-6 weeks is necessary as everyone heals differently and outcome will vary. Certain areas may not pick up during first session and will need to be refilled. Pigment color may need to be adjusted, brow thickness and more strokes can be added. Individuals with oily skin often require a deeper shade during the touch up session as the oils tend to lighten the pigment. Most importantly, your touch up session is when we refine your brows to ensure it looks perfect and retains the color for the whole year.

As with all cosmetic procedures, individuals should not make their choices lightly. We always recommend clients do their research, understand the procedure and compare different artists' work and portfolio when making their decisions. We will do our utmost to shape and style the eyebrows to the clients satisfaction prior to the procedure. Every effort will be made to achieve an even appearance, but please realize our faces are never perfectly symmetrical. Uneven appearance can be fixed during the touch up session. Microbladed brows will eventually fade away if no additional touch ups are done.
