What is Microblading  

​

We make sure that you’re comfortable through every step of your eyebrow transformation. The steps we follow for a microblading appointment are listed below.

Feel free to come to your microblading appointment with your full makeup on, especially your eyebrow makeup. It can be helpful to see your made-up brows for a color reference when choosing the right ink color for your brow transformation.

Pictures - Microblading before and after pictures are a great way to see your brow transformation, so we snap a few quick pictures of your eyebrows before getting started, and then a few more after they’ve been microbladed.

Consultation - We both have to be on the same page in terms of eyebrow shape, and color, to give your brows the look you want, so there is heavy emphasis placed on understanding your expectations, and also helping you understand what results are possible through microblading.

Brow Shaping - Shaping eyebrows correctly is the foundation to getting perfect eyebrows. Using your facial features, and some measuring, we draw the perfectly shaped eyebrows for your face directly on your skin for you to see.

Everyone’s facial structure and features differ, which requires eyebrows to be designed using the specific proportions of the face they're on. Therefore, brow shaping stencils are not used since a cookie cutter shaping process won't result in the right brow shape for each unique face.

Approval - You take some time to examine your newly shaped eyebrows. We won’t move forward with anything until you are completely happy with your brow shape, and if that means some adjustments need to be made, then so be it.

Numbing - At some point you’ve probably wondered, “does microblading hurt?” After a topical anesthetic is applied by using a specialized technique, pain is not an issue. Some clients have actually fallen asleep during the microblading process, so yeah, we make sure you’re comfortable.

Paperwork - While your skin is numbing you’ll review and sign consent forms, followed by completing a brief medical history to ensure the microblading procedure won’t interfere with your overall well being.

Microblading - Using a microblade, ink is implanted into your skin by making microstrokes that resemble hair to give you the brows you’ve always wanted.

Care Instructions - You'll be instructed on the microblading healing stages, and how to take care of your microbladed eyebrows. We supply you with a special aftercare cream to help your brows during the microblading healing process, and then schedule your touch-up appointment for 4 to 6 weeks later.

***Please note skin cells turn over more frequently on oilier skin types causing the color to fade quicker than drier skin types. For oilier skin types more frequent touch ups may be required which are not included in the original price.

Microblading results create amazing looking eyebrows, however the procedure is not recommended for everyone. To prevent any complications related to your overall well being, please review them

The Healing Process 

​

TRUST THE PROCESS

Healed microblading results are the most beautiful and natural looking way to enhance eyebrows, but the path leading to those anticipated healed results can be a little bit surprising. In addition to following the microblading aftercare instructions, understanding the microblading healing process is essential to avoid undue worry and stress while going through the different stages of healing.

When it comes to understanding the microblading healing process, the best way to start is by emphasizing the word “process.” Since microblading involves cutting into the skin, clearly there’s going to be a healing process, just as there is for any other wound. However, unlike those other wounds, the fine cuts made by microblading are expected to heal in a way that the healed microblading results mimic the appearance of natural eyebrow hair; which heightens the concern for correctly healed results for anyone going through the healing process.

There are stages of the healing process that can cause many, especially those who aren’t prepared with what to expect, to wonder if eyebrow microblading was a mistake. To help reduce the drama, the microblading healing process is described below:

*PLEASE NOTE: EVERYONE HEALS DIFFERENTLY SO THESE TIMES ARE ONLY A GENERAL GUIDELINE.

MICROBLADING HEALING TIMELINE

DAY 1:

Eyebrows look amazing immediately after microblading appointment

Pigment gradually gets darker through out the day

WEEK 1:

Pigment reaches darkest level on day two

Light scabbing develops where microblading strokes occurred

WEEK 2:

Scabbing from microblading strokes begin to peel and flake off, sometimes revealing no definite, visible color in skin

WEEK 3-4:

Pigment in skin continues to oxidize and microbladed strokes begin to reappear in color intended from the beginning, but some strokes come back looking patchy

WEEK 6:

 

Eyebrows fully healed and ready to undergo the finishing effects of touch-up appointment Beautiful eyebrow enhancement/transformation is complete after final touch-up MICROBLADING TOUCH-UP APPOINTMENT

The best microblading results are achieved by dismissing any doubts while undergoing the healing stages of microblading, and continuing to follow the microblading aftercare instructions. Not only is healing a process, but microblading itself is as well. The initial microblading appointment is essential for laying a good foundation, but the final touch up appointment is where the process is completed. Trust the process!
