FAQ

Microblading is the artistic technique of tattooing individual hair strokes with a handheld tool called a microblade. Unlike traditional tattooing, which uses a machine, microblading artists hand draw each hair to match the color and coarseness of your eyebrows, resulting in natural looking brows.

Once healed, results last an average of 1-2 years. Since all skin types are different, results may vary.

Most clients compare the pain to getting your eyebrows threaded. Sensitive clients may experience temporary pain, and some report no pain at all (usually even falling asleep). We use a topical anesthetic before and during the procedure to numb the affected area.

It usually takes about 2 hours, with most of the time spent drawing eyebrow shapes. The microblading portion lasts 30-45 minutes.

Please refer to our Pre-Procedure Advice. In the week before your appointment we recommend avoiding: blood thinners, aspirin, alcohol, fish oil or using retinol creams. Please consult your Physician if you have a medical condition and/or are taking medications.

You'll be able to wear your new brows back to lunch! In the first 10 days you will need to avoid getting them wet, working out or wearing brow makeup. It takes about 30-45 days to completely heal, in which time you may experience mild scabbing.

​

Stay out of the sun and water while your microblading heals. Avoid chlorine, exfoliation creams, and sun exposure as they may cause your color to fade. We recommend applying a very small amount of Aquaphor ointment twice a day. Refer to our after care instructions and you will also be handed a printed copy to take home along with an after care kit when you come in for your appointment.

Microblading is a two-step process, and for your convenience we offer a complimentary touch up between 4-8 weeks of your appointment. Please note: any touch-ups after 8 weeks will have an extra cost.

No, we do not recommend microblading while pregnant or breastfeeding, but be sure to revisit this option 3 months after your delivery.

We do not provide microblading for people: under 18 years old, pregnant or nursing, if you have diabetes, glaucoma, skin diseases such as Shingles, psoriasis or eczema on the area of treatment, allergies to makeup, Keloid scar disorder, HIV/Hepatitis, skin cancer, hemophilia, or if you're taking skin medications like accutaine and/or steroids.

If you have a scar, please contact us by email and provide a picture so that we can determine if you are a good candidate. Microblading is great for covering up most but not all scars.

Yes! Microblading works on all skin tones and types. Oily skin may need more frequent touch ups. If you suffer from Keloid disorder, we do not recommend microblading.

Technically microblading is a form of micropigmentation, but we use a microblade to hand draw individual hair strokes. Micropigmentation specialists use a permanent makeup machine, which offers less control and results in blurrier strokes.

Yes, Yes, & Yes! Very much so because we hand draw in each individual hair to mimic your natural hair growth and pattern.
