What is microblading, exactly?
Microblading is a form of semi permanent tattoo, where you use a small slender tool to make small scratches into you skin to create individual hair strokes. After numbing the skin, you dip the tool into the pigment and literally draw additional hairs onto the clients brow to correct brow shape and fullness. No more powder or anastasia pomade!

Microblading is an artistic Process
The majority of brows will need two to three full sessions for you to be fully satisfied. Only an average of 80% of the micro bladed stokes stay with each session, so it is a process to build fuller and more perfected brows. Every four weeks we can do another session until your brows have reached your ideal shape and fullness.
I like to combine different microblading methods during each session to get as 3D and natural look as possible. You CAN cross hairs to give a maximum 3D and hyper-realistic look, you just cannot do this in one appointment. You can also do finer, softer strokes for fullness, or more sharp, dense strokes to mimick the coarser hairs.
At your first session appointment, we will discuss and decide the best method to use to reach your dream brows.

Can I pick the color I want my brows to be?
Yes. Absolutely! I can custom mix color to perfectly match your hair color and skin tone. However, remember that the ink fades an average of 20%. Because everyone's skin is different and holds pigment different, I like to begin with assuming your ink depth will stay 100%. (Which for some people, it does.) Using this method, we are able to see how the ink fades on your skin specifically, then perfectly adjust the ink formula during the second session to achieve your Perfect ideal color. I like to err on the safe side, and start out lighter rather than darker when it comes to pigment. I also love the multi dimensional look this method provides.
How long does it last?
One to two years. If you don’t touch them up again after 12 to 18 months, they will fade to an extremely soft, powdery look. I recommend Touch Ups annually.
The day of your appointment:
We will first discuss your brows, and what you would like to adjust. We will then draw on your perfect brow, and outline the shape. Thirdly, we numb your brows before starting the session with a professional grade numbing for 45 minutes. Lastly, the actual microblading.
The entire process takes only about two hours. Your brows may feel slightly sore just the first day, and will lightly scab from the micro cuts. Because of the scabbing, your brows will darken during the healing process. It is completely normal! The ink returns to normal after the healing is complete.
Please see my pre and post care page for an in-depth explanation on the above information.
You need to prepare for your appointment.
If you drink a lot, tan, take aspirin, or use retinol, you must stop one week before your treatment. See Pre and Post Care page for a full version of how to prepare for your appointment.
Aftercare is required to have your brows heal properly.
Your microbladed brows are NOT set in your skin until they have scabbed, and the scabs have shed! If the scabbing comes off too early, you WILL lose pigment in that area.
I have a very specific healing system to retain as much pigment as possible. This includes no sweaty workouts and avoiding other moisture with the exception of cleansing your brows per my instructions. My Pre and Post Care page goes over all of this in depth.
