Frequently Asked Questions

MICROBLADING IS A “SEMI-PERMANENT“ TECHNIQUE OF IMPLANTING PIGMENT IN THE EYEBROW AREA  IN FINE, SHORT STROKES RESEMBLING HAIR. THIS CAN ADJUST ASSYMETRY IN THE BROWS, ALOPECIA,  OR FILL IN SPARE OR EMPTY BROWS. THE PIGMENT WE USE IS DESIGNED TO FADE IN BOLDNESS OVER TIME. FADING IS DESIRED AS IT ALLOWS THE ARTIST TO MAKE CHANGES TO COLOR, SHAPE AND FULLNESS OVER THE YEARS.

OVER THE YEARS, MICROBLADING HAS GROWN A REPUTION OF BEING “PAINFUL” BUT, TECHNIQUES, PRODUCTS AND PIGMENTS HAVE CHANGED. BEFORE PROCEDURE, A TOPICAL NUMBING IS APPLIED FOR 20-30 MINUTES.  I HAVE A CERTAIN NUMBING TECHNIQUE, MY  CLIENTS ARE ALWAYS  COMFORTABLE, EVEN NAPPING DURING PROCEDURE.  IF YOU HAVE AN EXTREMELY LOW PAIN TOLERANCE, EXPECTING SOME DISCOMFORT IS NORMAL. (PLEASE NOTE, IF YOU ARE A FRQUENT SMOKER, ON YOUR MENSTRUAL CYCLE, PAIN COULD BE INTENSIFIED.)

AS A SAFTEY PRECAUTION , I DO NOT PERFORM PERMANENT MAKEUP ON PREGNANT WOMEN. 

IT IS BEST TO WAIT 4-8 WEEKS AFTER YOUR LAST CHEMOTHERAPY SESSION BEFORE BOOKING A NEW. BROW APPOINTMENT. IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY A CANCER SURVIVOR, I OFFER 50% OFF FOR ALL CANCER SURVIVORS. MY MOM HAD STAGE 3 BREAST CANCER 2020 AND SEEING HER WITH #BROWCONFIDENCE CHANGED MY PERSPECTIVE FOREVER.

TO ENSURE THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF SAFTEY, ALL TOOLS ARE ONE TIME USE, DISPOSABLE & STERILE. ALL BLADES, HAND TOOLS, WIPES, AND ANY OTHER PRODUCT USED DURING PROCEDURE ARE DISPOSED AFTER EACH APPOINTMENT. SANITATION AND SAFETY ARE CRUCIAL IN MY STUDIO, SO IS MY BROW-BABES SAFTEY.

EVERY BABE SHOULD STOP IN FOR A 4-6 WEEK PERFECTING APPOINTMENT. AFTER YOUR INITIAL BROW SESSION, THE SKIN HAS HEALED ITSELF. CAUSING FADING, SHRINKAGE AND STRUCTURE CHANGES. YOUR 4-6 WEEK TOUCH-UP & PERFECT WILL PERFECT THE BROW AFTER HEALING, WE ASSES COLOR, FULLNESS, FADING AND THAT WAY OUR BROWS  WILL LOOK BETTER, FOR MUCH LONGER!

EVERYBODY HAS DIFFERENT SKIN & DIFFERENT HEALING PROCESSES. THE LAYER OF SKIN WE WORK IN DIES AND REGENERATES ITSELF EVERY 30 DAYS OR SO, SO PIGMENT FADES OVER TIME. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO GET A  TOUCH UP EVERY 12-24 MONTHS. YOU DO WANT TO BE SURE THAT THEY ARE NOT MORE THAN 50% FADED, STROKES SHOULD STILL BE VISIBLE BUT FADED FOR A TOUCH UP. IF YOU ARE UNSURE, PLEASE EMAIL ME A PICTURE OF YOUR BROWS & WE CAN DISCUSS IF YOU NEED A TOUCH-UP OR NOT. IF YOU HAVE OILY SKIN OR USE ANTI-AGING PRODUCTS REGULARLY, A TOUCH UP IS RECOMMENDED EVERY 8-12 MONTHS.

IF YOU HAVE PRIOR FADED OR DISCOLORED PRIOR WORK, PLEASE SCHEDULE A INSTUDIO CONSULTATION. AT YOUR CONSULTATION WE CAN DECIDE WHAT IS BEST FOR YOUR BROWS. SEEING THEM IN PERSON IS THE BEST WAY TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO. IF THEY ARE MORE THAN 50% FADED, A COVER-UP & CORRECTION WOULD BE BEAUTIFUL. OR WE COULD EXPLORE OTHER OPTIONS.
