Question 1

What is microblading?

Accepted Answer

It is considered to be semi-permanent, as compared to the traditional hair stroke technique. It is done using a very fine blade to deposit pigments into the epidermis. Because we’re impacting color closer to the surface, the strokes appear crisp and very fine.
This method is ideal for anyone wanting to enhance the look of their eyebrows. The results are natural looking, hair-like strokes, regardless of the amount of hair present.  People suffering from alopecia or any other condition that causes hair loss benefit greatly from Microblading, as well as people who simply aren't happy with their eyebrows.
The pigments used in this method have been formulated to match your original eyebrow color, and if the eyebrows are still present, blend perfectly into them. The results are a natural, flawless, fuller looking brow. Initially, the brows appear darker, but fade significantly over a two week period. It is absolutely crucial to have a touch up done, as it is very difficult to predict how well the skin will retain the pigment.

Question 2

How much is Microblading?

Accepted Answer

Microblading is performed in two separate appointments. Prices vary depending on where you go. Remember because a price is cheaper doesn't mean it's a good deal. It is important that you trust your technician and they are trained properly, this is your face after all and that's worth investing in. Currently my price is $550-$650 depending on add ons ($100 to add shading for combo); this includes a free consult with brow shaping, and $200 for 6-8 week touch-up which is required for desired results. All prices and promotions subject to change. $100 deposit due at booking

Question 3

How do you choose the shape?

Accepted Answer

We choose your custom shape and style together.  At the beginning of your appointment we will discuss what you want your new brows to look like (pictures help as references) Then I will come up with a design shape specific to your wants & your bone structure. I will make measurements to make them as symmetrical & position them as much as possible.
​

Question 4

How do you choose a color?

Accepted Answer

We choose a color together by applying small amounts of different colored pigments to the skin near to your brows and selecting the best match for your skin tone, features and personal preference. Now remember while choosing your color it will faded 40-60% after your first visit.

Question 5

Why Is it necessary to do a 6-8 week touch up?

Accepted Answer

Every client heals differently and it is impossible to accurately predict how a pigment will be affected by a client’s undertones. Therefore the required (highly recommanded) touch-up is done  6 - 8 weeks after the first appointment.  During the touch-up appointment, I will analyze how the skin received the pigment and will make any necessary corrections to color, shape and strokes.  This appointment must be booked at the end of your first appointment.

Question 6

How often do I need a touch up?

Accepted Answer

After your first visit a refreshing touch up appointment is extremely recommended. This service is offered any where from 6 to 8 weeks after your first visit, your touch up is a $200 charge. Some people feel like they need a third session another 6 weeks after touch up, that is okay but not necessary. A color refresh is recommended on average from 3-9 months after your initial procedure if you feel you need a third session that price is $250.

Question 7

How long does it last?

Accepted Answer

This varies from person to person, everyone's results last a different amount of time. Microblading typically lasts 1-2 years, depending on skin type (normal, oily, dry). Skincare routines will also affect the lasting effect of the pigment such as those who tan, uses products with AHA or Glycolic Acid and routine peels.  These types of resurfacing regimens will cause faster fading.  Each individual's color retention within the skin will vary. To maintain the brows looking fresh, a touch up is suggested every 6-12 months.

Question 8

Does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

I have a wide range of medical grade anesthetics which I used to make you as comfortable & pain free as possible. I use a topical anesthetic that is applied before the procedure & one during to continue the comfort. However, I personally like the healed results much better if clients skip the topical anesthetic. I feel the lines look more crisp & heal so much better. I let every client know my opinion before so they can choose during their appointment.
Keep in mind, pain levels vary from person to person and every effort is made to ensure you are comfortable for the entirety of the procedure. Most of my clients report little or no pain and have sometimes fallen asleep during the procedure.  You will hear a scratch noise/ sensation throughout. Music is usually played during the procedure, however feel free to bring your own ear phones and music to distract you

Question 9

Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Sterilized, disposable needles and supplies are used during the process.

Question 10

How long does it take to heal?

Accepted Answer

No down time is required after microblading procedure. It takes approximately 7-14 days for the brows to heal over, and about 1 month for the color to fully set in. You'll notice the color is very light right after the two weeks after healing; the skin will have an opaque milky looking quality to it. Don't worry once this phase is over your true brow color and pigment absortion will show.

Question 11

Can you guarantee your work?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, I can't. How the skin will react is different for everyone and many factors are to be taken into consideration. Skin type, age, scarring, diet, stress levels, facial products used, etc. all play a key role in how the pigment will hold, which is why it is important to know that more than one touch up may be required.
I can guarantee that your face is important to me and that I will act in accordance with my experience and expertise to give you my absolute best. I can guarantee that I will strive to make you gratified and content every time. But there are no guarantees in this industry. Please think long and hard before you decide to go for it.

Question 12

What’s the process like?

Accepted Answer

Eyebrow tattoo is a two-step treatment, consisting of an initial procedure and then a touch up between 4 to 6 weeks after. 
After taking your before photo, I will draw the brow design in pencil so you get an idea of shape and form. (Please note that nobody’s face is totally symmetrical and you need to be realistic with your expectations. There is no point in trying to make the eyebrows identical or match a photo of your favorite celebrities' eyebrows if your face shape looks nothing like theirs.). Once we have agreed on a final shape (ultimately it is your decision – but I will always voice my opinion on what I think suits you aesthetically), I will shape your eyebrows then we will decide on the color. Shortly after that, a topical anesthetic will be administered to ensure comfort. Once you’re numb, the pigment is deposited.
During healing, it's normal to experience some pigment loss; this is why we have the touch up in place.

Question 13

What if I don’t like it?

Accepted Answer

Although Microblading or Gradient Eyebrow Tattoo is considered to be semi-permanent, the procedure does allow flexibility for color or shape change to some extent. However, I will work closely with you to ensure that you are satisfied with the proposed technique. I will allow you to have as much control over the procedure as possible, so there’s very little room for error. If you do not like the decision you made, the 6-8 weekTouch Up can be cancelled and the pigmented area naturally fades away over time. If you aren’t 100% sure you would benefit from this procedure, please opt for a more temporary option.
