Q. How long does microblading last?

Typically, this service lasts 1.5-2 years. It can even last up to 3 years. The main factors that affect the duration is age, sun exposure, facial products used, and skin type. When it starts fading, the pigment is designed to fade softly and not alarmingly. When it starts to fade, some may decide to fill it in given that they still have the "guide" on their face. Others will miss having the ease of not having to fill-in and crispness of the strokes and will come back to get it done again. 

 

Q. Do you carry colors for blondes and those with red tones in their hair?

Yes, I carry colors for a wide range of haircolor. However, I will caution blondes from choosing a "blonde" color, but rather a very light brown to a taupe color because the hairstrokes will not show up on typically fair skin. Most eyebrow pencils are light brown to taupe for blondes.

 

Q. Does this hurt?

I get asked this question alot. This one is hard to answer, because everyone has a different pain tolerance. I have clients who could fall asleep during the service and I have those that tear up. However, I will say that we do use a numbing agent (lidocaine) to assist with the discomfort.Is there discomfort? Yes. Is it unbearable? No, Unless you're extremely sensitive. Or a crybaby. Completely worth it? Absolutely!  

​

Q. Why should I trust you to work on my eyebrows/lashes?

Many reasons. I'm a trained microblader. I did makeup for many years before I fell in love with microblading and lashing, so I understand the face. I care that you are walking around with sad, mad, angry, rainbow, circular, equation, surprised, missing, and/or even sperm eyebrows. You'll know it when you see them. Basically, I've found my passion and this is important because this means I will employ the latest techniques and the best products. I also believe that the hairs should look real, and not all going one direction,have "shaky" strands or even robotic looking eyebrows. *shivers* If you see this, run for the hills! There should be a fluidity that mimics real hairs, not just some lines on your face and say that it is an eyebrow! Slap the hand of your technician and say "Bad! Bad! No! Bad!" if they do this to you.

​

Q. How long does an appointment last?

Typically two hours. Most of that time is spent on measuring and outlining your eyebrows before the actual procedure begins.

​

Q. How long do I have to refrain from exercising?

Please refrain from working out and chance sweating for one week after. It is so important to keep your eyebrows clean and dry. So go ahead, sit back, relax and eat some Nutella.

​

Q. Do I need a second appointment after my initial appointment?

I highly recommend it to achieve optimal results. You may want to get them darker, change the shape a little bit, or even fill in any imperfections that may occur.

​

Q. My eyebrows are naturally uneven. Is that normal?

Yes, it is completely normal to have uneven eyebrows and uneven features in general. Due to how the skull is formed, the muscles you employ to make expressions, and mother nature in general, your eyebrows will have some variation. We can work to try and correct that, but the saying goes," Eyebrows are not twins, they are sisters."

Q. Whats the experience like?

​

Q. Do you do a consultation?

I only do consultations on the day of the actual service. As I mentioned above, the appointment usually takes 2 hours. The first hour is the consultation. I will go over detailed aftercare, your desires for an eyebrow, and then start to craft an outline for an eyebrow so you can see what it would look like on your face. Only after I get your, "Ok, lets do this!" do I actually begin microblading!
