F.A.Q

What is Microblading?

Microblading, also known as Eyebrow Embroidery is a permanent makeup procedure, but unlike traditional cosmetic tattooing, it  is considered semi-permanent. Microblading typically lasts 1-3 years. The procedure is done by using a hand tool with ultra fine needles and each 'hair' is gently etched into the skin, giving an incredibly natural and realistic look.  Excellent for those wanting to enhance their brows or who have little to no eyebrows, thinning brows from age or over tweezed brows. The pigments used are chosen to match the natural or desired brow color and skin tone will also be taken into consideration. 

How long does it take?

For the first Microblading session, the entire procedure should take about 2.5-3 hours. 

The client is to come in for a follow up visit in order to have any minor necessary touch ups.  After 4-6 weeks after the initial session. This session will take approximately 1.5-2 hours to complete.

How long does it take to heal?

The eyebrow area will be slightly red after the procedure and color will appear very dark. This is normal for the procedure and part of the healing process. The color will fade by up to 40% as it heals. You will notice slight scabbing. Do not pick at the scabs as this may damage the skin and the outcome of the microbladed area. The eyebrows will lighten up in color as it heals. The true color will reveal itself once healed.
