Question 1

What is Microblading?

Accepted Answer

Microblading (or eyebrow embroidery) is a relatively new, manual method in which a unique hand instrument with a small row of very fine needles that deposit pigment into the epidermis with a slicing, feathring stroke. The pigment is implanted in the basal membrane which divides the epidermis from the dermis layer of the skin. This creates very crisp, fine hair strokes that don't blur after healing.

Question 2

What are Combination Brows

Accepted Answer

Combination brows are just that, a combination of two different techniques.  We microblade a portion of the brow and add machine shading in between the strokes or just through certain areas to "fill in".  This technique is great for clients with less hair in certain areas.

Question 3

Who is NOT a good candidate for Microblading?

Accepted Answer

Allergy to Nickel (blade)
Diabetic (Doctors note required)
Viral Infections or Diseases
Epilepsy
A Pacemaker or major heart problems
Had an Organ Transplant
Sick (cold, flu, etc.)
Taking blood thinners
Skin irritations near the area such as sunburn or Psoriasis
Taking sun sensitizing medications
Botox within last 2 weeks
Accutane within last year
History of keloid scarring
Auto-immune deficiencies
People suffering from severe acne
Pregnant or nursing women
Chemotherapy patients will need to check with their physician and provide a doctor’s note.
People with conditions that cause them to bleed very easily (this impacts results)
People with prior permanent makeup may not be good candidates. This determined by consultation
I Do NOT recommend Microblading for oily skin types. Oily skin, tends to dilute pigment under the skin & can push out the color. A traditional method of tattooing that we offer, with a machine, is more penetrating & a better option for retaining ink with oily skin. No REFUNDS will be given, due to color loss! Some skin types & working environments such as steam, laundry mats, Hot kitchens, outdoor occupations in humid weather, Salt air, & Water have a negative effect on retaining color. It is the clients responsibility to take care of the tattoo & protect the tattoo from sun & weather conditions. Refunds are Not given, but touch ups can be scheduled to add additional color & shape.

Question 4

Is Microblading/Shading painful?

Accepted Answer

This is designed to be a gentle procedure with minimal discomfort. We pre numb the eyebrow area prior to breaking the skin and also use a secondary numbing throughout the procedure.  Our clients report little to no pain!

Question 5

Reduce alcohol intake and end it two days before the treatment.

Question 6

How long will my brows last?

Accepted Answer

This question is different for everyone and will depend on your skin type and your lifestyle.  In general, Microblading will last about 9-18 months before a color boost/touch up is needed and Ombre brows will last about 12-24 months before a color boost/touch up is needed.  We recommend always wearing sunblock on your brows and avoiding serums and creams on the brow area for longer results.
