​

​

WHAT IS MICROBLADING?​

​This service consists of having hair-like strokes created to give a natural look to your eyebrows. Microblading is an ideal solution for clients who have normal to dry skin. Not suitable for oily skin.​

​

​

WHAT ARE POWDER BROWS?

This service consists of shading only through the brow. This service is suitable for all skin types and will give you a soft and natural full/filled in brow look everyday without the stress of penciling them in.

​

HOW LONG IS THE APPOINTMENT?

​Your initial appointment will be on average 2-2.5 hours. During your appointment we will consult with you the entire time ensuring we are on the same page. Much of the time is spent measuring and drawing on a symmetrical set of brows and agreeing on your perfect shape and color. 

​

IS THE TOUCH UP APPOINTMENT INCLUDED?

To ensure your brows heal to their full potential, a touch up is recommended 6-12 weeks after your initial session. The touch up appointment allows us to fill in any imperfections that happen during the healing process. If the brows heal too light and/or too thin, this appointment also allows us to add and darken the work from the first session. The touch up is NOT included in the price of the initial session. For current pricing, please visit the "services" tab on our website.​

​

HOW LONG DOES MICROBLADING LAST?​

The treatment is considered semi-permanent and will fade over time. Touch-ups are recommended every 1-2 years to maintain shape, color, and detail. How often depends on a number of factors including:

​

- Skin type (oily skin fades faster)

​

- Pigment color used (lighter colors fade faster)

​

- Sun exposure, including tanning beds (over time can cause fading and discoloration of the pigment)

​

- Use of daily anti-aging products e.g.- (Tretinoin (Retin-A) & Alpha Hydroxy).

These products increase your cell turnover rate and will shorten the life of your microblading.​​​​

​

CAN I GET MICROBLADING IF I'M NURSING OR PREGNANT?​

As a precaution to avoid any complications, we do not perform microblading on pregnant or nursing women.

​

​

DOES MICROBLADING RUIN YOUR BROWS?​

It's always good to know how you heal, and the effect that a semi-permanent procedure will have on your skin, If a procedure is performed correctly and you have been honest with your brow artist, you shouldn’t experience lasting scarring. You should know your brow artist’s previous work and be confident in the result you’re going to get.

​

ARE SEMI-PERMANENT BROWS, PERMANENT?​

Technically, semi-permanent micro-pigmentation is considered permanent because the color is implanted into the upper dermal layer of the skin and cannot be washed off. However, the pigment is implanted more superficially than a traditional tattoo, so it naturally fades over time. 

​

HOW DO YOU CHOOSE A COLOR?​

We choose a color together by applying small amounts of different color pigments to the skin near your brows and selecting the best match for your skin tone, features and personal preference. As a rule of thumb, we closely match the color of your brow hair for the most natural results.

​

CAN YOU MICROBLADE OVER EXISTING MICROBLADING?

Microblading can be done over precious work, however the old work must be significantly faded for the hair strokes to show through and look natural. Please advise if you have existing microblading, a consultation will need to be scheduled to see if you are a candidate.

​

WILL MY MICROBLADED BROWS LOOK FAKE?​

Our brow pigmentation and unique artistry guarantees natural looking eyebrows. As your body heals it creates a new layer of skin which will heal over the implanted pigment, creating a more soft and natural look than you would get from a makeup pencil, which sits boldly on top of the skin.
