what is microblading?
Microblading is a form of permanent makeup that creates natural, beautiful eyebrows with a handheld microblade. It’s perfect for people who have overplucked or those who want to define, darken or reshape their eyebrows.

Technically, microblading is a form of eyebrow tattooing. However, unlike traditional tattooing, which uses a machine, microblading artists apply each hairstroke with a handheld microblade. This produces a very fine line that resembles real hair. Each individual hairstroke is hand drawn by the artist and blended in with the client’s existing eyebrow hair. With a strong artist at the helm, the results can be gorgeous and very lifelike.

Microblading typically takes two appointments to complete. In the first appointment, the client is profiled and the eyebrows are drawn on with a brow pencil, so the artist and client can agree on the look. The artist then microblades the eyebrows and the client is ready to go back into the world. There are some pre-care and aftercare required, but your microblading should be completely healed in 30 days.

​The second appointment is a touch up at least 30 days after the first session, but we prefer to do it at 6 weeks.  This allows enough time for the ink in the epidermis to naturally slough off, and the color to settle into your skin. In the touch up appointment, the artist can see how your skin has received the ink and make any necessary corrections.
​how long does it last?
Microbladed eyebrows last 1 to 2 years for most people, before it usually needs a touch up. This can vary depending on the skin type and how you take care of the treated area.

​
does it hurt?
Most clients report little to no pain, and would compare it to a tweezing session.  Many clients even fall asleep! Topical anesthetic is applied prior and during the procedure so the client can feel at ease while receiving the treatment.

​
​HOW LONG IS THE PROCEDURE?
A microblading sessions consists of a consultation the day of, where we review your lifestyle and daily brow maintenance.  We then map the brows according to your facial structure with the golden Phi ratio of balanced proportion.  Once you approve the brow shape, the procedure takes about an hour and a half.  This entire session takes a total of 2.5-3 hours.

​
​HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO HEAL
You’ll be able to wear your new brows back to brunch! In the first 7-10 days, you’ll need to avoid getting them too wet (in the shower), working out (sweating) or wearing brow makeup.  Please see aftercare for more details.

​
WHEN SHOULD I GET A TOUCH UP? HOW MUCH IS IT?
I offer a complimentary touch up between 6 – 10 weeks of your appointment. After that, we charge a fee for annual or semi-annual color boosts.

WHO IS INELIGIBLE FOR MICROBLADING?
Microblading is not recommended for those with oily skin or large pores. If that’s you, you may want a shading or combination shading and microblading technique. We also 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 disorder, HIV/Hepatitis, skin cancer, hemophilia, or if you’re taking skin medications like ro-accutane and steroids.
HOW DO YOU MATCH THE COLOR OF THE HAIR?
Our pigments are of the highest quality and are pre-mixed to match every type of hair color.  We can mix in additional pigment colors to match each individual client.  Beauty Angels Pigments are hypo-allergenic, vegan friendly, and have great retention!
​

Brow Pigments are a blend of red, yellow, and black which makes brown.  Yellow is the color that typically fades the fastest, which may leave brows more reddish or cool grey.  Phi Pigments compress the yellow ink so that it fades evenly with the other colors, to create the most natural finished result.
