What to Expect

Consultation: 30 minutes

This optional appointment includes a patch/scratch test, after which there is a 3-day waiting period. During this complimentary 30-minute chat, we will determine which procedure is best suited for your hair growth and skin type, as well as discuss color selection and other personal features of the procedure.

First Procedure: 3 hours

We will spend the first 60-90 minutes perfecting your shape in pencil before we ever make a stroke.

At the conclusion of your appointment, the brows will look great, but stroke placement may be slightly sparse, as we will use the strokes in the first appointment to understand how the pigment settles in your skin – does it spread, does it fade, etc. Your appointment will take (on average) 2.5 hours.

Final Procedure: 2 hours

6 weeks following the first procedure, we will assess how the pigment settled in your skin and make any adjustments necessary – color, shape, as well as fill in any extra strokes for a fuller more 6-D brow.

The path to gorgeous brows is a highly personalized process.

Your final outcome will not be determined until 4-6 weeks following your Final Procedure.

After Your Apointment

Immediately following your procedure and for 14 days (up to 21 days if you are over 55):

Do not get them wet. Your artist will discuss options and methods to work around this
Absolutely no sweating. This includes hot yoga, sports, swimming, hot baths or anything that might get you damp and sticky
No laser or chemical treatments on the brow area
Avoid picking, peeling, or scratching of brow or scabs – disturbing this area will result in loss of pigment and patchiness, and may result in a change of color
Performing tasks where there may be airborne debris
Avoid excessive alcohol, which may prevent timely healing
Do not travel in open air vehicles such as convertibles, boats, bicycles, or motorcycles
Do not touch the eyebrow area with fingertips

After the skin has completely healed, make certain to ALWAYS apply a layer of sunscreen, SPF30 or greater, when outdoors or tanning. Sun exposure will cause the pigment to fade and may also cause blurring of the lines or pigment migration.

Your Microblading Journey:

Healing following your procedure is a journey. It’s going to get crazy-dark. It’s going to scab up. It’s going to look weird and blotchy. And, it’s ALL OK! Understand and be aware – Microblading is not something you do a week before pictures or a big event…
