Frequently asked questions
If you have an ideal shape and color in mind, please bring a couple reference photos to your appointment or bring in your brow makeup. You may fill in your eyebrows as you normally would so we may take that into consideration. If you regularly get your eyebrows shaped, waxed, threaded, or tinted, please refrain from doing so within a week of your appointment.
If there are any stray hairs that fall outside of our final shape, we can remove them. Avoid any blood thinning medication for a minimum of 48-hours prior to their appointment. Don't drink any alcohol or caffeine 24 hours prior to your appointment. No Botox for 3 weeks prior to microblading and no Botox 3 weeks after microblading. If you have been on prescription Accutane in the past, you MUST wait at least one year before considering this procedure. Avoid sun and tanning bed exposure for 10 days before and after your procedure. Keep your eyeshadow and foundation sheer to none but mascara, brows, and lips makeup are fine!
Following the procedure, the pigment on the surface of the skin will begin to oxidize and appear darker/bolder. In 3-7 days the brow will begin to flake and peel, sometimes creating a spotty appearance until the entire brow has finished exfoliating. Immediately after peeling, the healing epidermis will cause the brow to appear light or muted over the next 4-6 weeks. The epidermis will normalize and the softened pigment will bloom back to the surface of the skin.
Healed results will vary from person to person. There are many variables that will affect your final result including your skin type, skin tone, colors used, skin thickness, medications and medical conditions, lifestyle, amount of natural brow hair, bleeding during procedure, aftercare, application techniques, and more. Results can not be guaranteed due to these factors. Most clients will experience a bold, crisp immediate result that will heal into a diffused and softened version.
Two sessions are required to complete most brows. The first session will be used to create shape and apply the foundation of the pigment and texture. Everyone heals and retains pigment differently and once healed you will return in 6-12 weeks for an additional touch up and layering session to complete your brows. Occasionally, certain clients may need or desire a 3rd session depending on their skin type or desired result. After your initial follow up is completed, maintenance is recommended every 12-18 months.
