Eye Brow Permanent Makeup
Microblading, also known by a variety of names such as embroidery, microstroking, feather touch and hair like strokes, is a form of permanent makeup that provides a means to partially or fully camouflage missing eyebrow hair with the appearance of simulated hair using fine deposits of cosmetic tattoo pigments. Over time the strokes can blur and fade and will need to be refreshed.

Combination/Combo Brows is a form of permanent makeup (cosmetic tattoo), where both the Microblading technique and Powder/shading are combined. This technique is great for those who have sparse eyebrows, little to no hair, or those who simply want to add definition to their eyebrows and arch. Combo Brows allow us to create an illusion of eyebrows hairs and soft powder that resembles a natural makeup look.

FAQ
Are you certified? Yes, I am a certified in Microblading as well as Ombre. Licenced by the state board since 2006
Does the eyebrow procedure hurt? No, it doesn’t hurt, the area is numbed first with topical anesthetic before and during the procedure. Pain tolerance level varies from different person. Clients report feeling no pain to slightly feeling a sensation of having insect bites or paper cuts.
Who can get eyebrow microblading? Anyone over the age of 18.
Is it safe? Absolutely. Sterilized, disposable needles and supplies are used during the process.
Can permanent makeup cause eyebrow hair loss or fall out? Does it cause any damage to the natural hair follicle?
Microblading will not damage any hair. However, if there is an incident that the hair that was lost was only cut off with microblading. The root is intact and will grow back. It will take about one month for it to grow out.
Ombre brows do not affect the hairs in any way.
How bad are the marks or scars?
There is no scarring to the area unless the procedure is done incorrectly. Microblading does not leave scar, since only a thin layer of the skin is punctured and deposited with ink . However, any cut on your skin will leave a scar. How visible these scars are depend on how your body heals. If your body is prone to scarring, then even "micro-blades" can leave "bumps" and scars.
Why did my microblading turn like a tattoo?
Yes, it can happens when the strokes are microblading close to each other, when healed it can blends together. When the lines are too "perfect", it can look unnatural. The lines should not all be the same size/thickness and should have a far gap.
Does it scab?
Yes, lightly scab or no scab at all. It depends on different people and their healing process.
How long is the healing process?
The healing process is 4-6 weeks. It can vary from individual and skin conditions. Clients who are diabetic healing can be slower.
How long can I put on makeup after ?
Do not make contact with water, powders or any other liquids than what was recommended for 10 days after the treatment. Even a small drop, which seems unimportant, may expand the wound and scabbing will appear. You will want to avoid all makeup on the eyebrows for a minimum of 10 days. Makeup can have bacteria in it and freshly done eyebrows will increase your chances of infection.
What is happening when eyebrow microblading scab and color disappears after first week of getting it done?
Fading almost to the point of it appearing to have disappeared is normal. It takes roughly 4-6 weeks to see the final healed result. In some cases, some of the color can still return. Most technicians offer a touch-up after the first procedure to perfect the eyebrows. During this appointment, your technician can assess the retention and make modifications the second time. Microblading in particular has a tendency to look very "crisp" immediately after, but as it heals becomes softer and somewhat blended.
Ombre brows will also scab and lighten 1-2 weeks after the procedure.
What should I be aware of before the procedure?
● We recommend coming to your appointment without any makeup on the brow area because your brow technician will go over the shape with you using their own products.
● No aspirin, niacin, fish oils, vitamin 3, ibuprofen 2-3 days before. Tylenol is okay.
If you are on accutane, you must be accutane off for 1 year.
● Do not consume any alcohol the day before.
● Avoid working out or sweating the day before.
● If you wax your eyebrows, it must be done 3 days or more before your appointment.
● If you have botox done, you must wait 1-2 months before getting the procedure done.
Do I need to take a day off work?
No. There’s no downtime associated with the treatment. Redness and swelling will dissipate within an hour after. Your brows will appear darker initially, but not so dark that you will be prevented from your activities of daily living.
How do I extend the life of the procedure?
Your eyebrows will last longer if you apply sunblock often and avoid abrasive facial treatments in the brow area.
How many colors do you have?
Of the handful of colors we use, we can blend several to achieve even more shades to suit the client. ALL clients who have had the procedure done will be conscious they have brows that are very obvious, however please bear in mind, the skin has been broken to allow the pigment to settle, and healing has yet to take place.
Do you have to shave off my own eyebrows?
No. Every attempt is made to retain all natural hair and integrate it into the design of the permanent 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.
I have heard some clients just do not retain pigment even after a few visits. Could this happen?
Yes, it does happen and yes it’s true. A third appointment may be set up so the client has the opportunity to return and we get the chance to review the work and sort out any (if any) tweaks that might need to be done. Often times the clients do not make this appointment as all is usually well, however there are the occasional few that may need one or two extra strokes to finish off the look. Some ladies 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 Autoimmune disease symptoms (the client may not even be aware of it). The skin would have over reacted and become super sensitive to the pigment and reject it at any cost.
Can you guarantee your work?
Unfortunately, we can’t. 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. We can guarantee that your face is important and we will act in accordance with our experience and expertise to give you our absolute best. We can guarantee that we 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.
