Get certified in Microblading!

Yes, I am a Certified Microblading Technician.

It is a cosmetic tattoo technique that creates hair-like strokes directly in the skin’s epidermis, resulting in realistic looking eyebrows. Eyebrow Microblading creates the background and fills in the areas of the eyebrow that looks empty so that a full and complete look is accomplished. The “3D” effect adds realism to the end result. Unlike a traditional eyebrow tattoo, Eyebrow Microblading does not leave a flat, dull, and fake look that tattoos leave behind. The Eyebrow Microblading method can fill in sparse brows or create an entire brow.

There are mixed reviews on pain. Everyone has a different level of sensitivity/pain tolerance, so topical anesthetics are applied before and during the treatment to alleviate any sensation or discomfort. Some clients naturally feel one brow sorer than the other. You will hear a “scratching” noise/ sensation throughout. Music can be played during the procedure, however feel free to bring your own ear phones and music to distract you.

Absolutely. Sterilized, one-time use disposable needles and supplies are used during the process.

This depends on each person and their skin type, but most likely. One might also have slightly red skin around eyebrows.

Most likely. Within a week of your first treatment the color will fade significantly and over the next 4-6 weeks it can continue to fade as much as up to 50%. This is considered an extremely positive occurrence as it allows you time to reflect on your shape and color. After this period your follow-up appointment is carried out. At this point, any changes you would like to be made should be discussed.

In order to keep your Eyebrow Microblading results looking fresh, maintenance touch ups are recommended anywhere from every 6-24 months, depending on client's skin type, pigment retention, etc.

It will last as long as it’s maintained. Untouched, the ink will last up to 3-5+ years.

Because color is implanted into the facial area, there tends to be more fluid circulation than in other parts of the body. Your face sees the most wear - exposure to the sun, facial products, daily regimens, etc. All of these things cause color to fade, which is why you need a touch up.

Healing time varies from individual to individual. It typically takes 10-14 days for the epithelial crust to form and slough off. Your skin will be considered healed after that happens. Then, the pigment takes some time to settle into the skin. A good month should pass before the process is considered complete.

Eyebrow Microblading is a two-step treatment, consisting of an initial procedure and then a correction touch up after. After taking your before photo, I will draw the brow design in pencil so you get an idea of shape and form. (Please note that nobody’s face is totally symmetrical and you need to be realistic with your expectations. There is no point in trying to make the eyebrows identical or match a photo of your favorite celebrities' eyebrows if your face shape looks nothing like theirs.). Once we have agreed on a final shape (ultimately it is your decision – but I will always voice my opinion on what I think suits you aesthetically), I will shape your eyebrows. Then, we will decide on the color. Shortly after that, a topical anesthetic will be administered to ensure comfort. Once you’re numb, the pigment is deposited. During healing it's normal to experience some pigment loss; this is why we have the touch up in place.

You are advised to keep the skin clean and dry - that means no swimming, sweating or otherwise getting the area wet; no tanning or prolonged sun exposure; no picking, peeling, scratching or rubbing the area, this may result in a loss of color and scarring. You can still wash your hair and face and once they’re healed up, you treat them as your own.

Your beautiful eyebrows will last longer if you apply sun block often and avoid abrasive facial treatments in the brow area.

I have a wide variety of pigments to choose from to match the client's eyebrow hair color. Pigments can also be blended to achieve more shades to suit the client.

No. Every attempt is made to retain all natural hair and integrate it into the design of the eyebrows. In some cases where shaping of the natural brow is required, a few hairs here and there may need to be removed to create a clean and aesthetically pleasing result.

Yes, it does happen. A third appointment can be set up so the client has the opportunity to sort out any (if any) tweaks that might need to be done. Some skin may react to the trauma of the tattooing, and the skin may try to push out the foreign body of pigment by producing an extreme scab, so they eventually fall off, taking all the pigment with it. There is a condition called Pigment Allergy (PPD Allergy, a condition known by dermatologists) or Auto Immune disease symptoms (the client may not even be aware of it), where the skin could have a reaction and become super sensitive to the pigment, rejecting it at all costs.

Unfortunately, I cannot. How the skin will react is different for everyone and many factors are to be taken into consideration. Skin type, age, scarring, diet, stress levels, facial products used, etc. all play a key role in how the pigment will hold, which is why it is important to know that more than one touch up may be required. I can guarantee that your face is important to me and that I will act in accordance with my experience and expertise to give you my absolute best, and that I will strive to make you gratified and content every time, but there are no guarantees in this industry. Please think long and hard before you decide to go for it.

Although Microblading is considered to be semi-permanent, the procedure does allow flexibility for color or shape change to some extent. However, I will work closely with you to ensure that you are satisfied with the proposed technique. I will allow you to have as much control over the procedure as possible, so there’s very little room for error. If you do not like the decision you have made, the touch up can be cancelled and the pigmented area naturally fades away over time. If you aren’t 100% sure you would benefit from this procedure, please opt for a more temporary option. Please read through the before and aftercare pages before booking your appointment to ensure that you are an ideal candidate for Eyebrow Microblading.
