HOW LONG CAN I EXPECT THIS TO LAST?
The pigment used in microblading is semi-permanent and can last between 1-3 years. The pigment will begin to fade within 12 months. In order to keep your brows looking fresh, a touch up is recommended every 12 months to 24 months maximum. After 2 years, full price for microblading will apply. For clients that choose a softer look and lighter color shade initially or those who did not follow the after care instructions properly may require more frequent touch ups.

FACTORS THAT WILL CAUSE YOUR MICROBLADED EYEBROW TO FADE FASTER:
• Iron deficiency
• Sun exposure
• Exfoliants
• Strong immune systems
​• Exposure to salt water
• Smoking

ARE SEMI-PERMANENT EYEBROWS DEEMED PERMANENT?
Technically, semi-permanent micro-pigmentation is considered permanent because the colour is implanted into the upper dermal layer of the skin and cannot be washed off. However, the pigment is implanted more superficially than a traditional tattoo, so it naturally fades over time.
​
DOES THE APPLICATION HURT?
We take every precaution necessary to ensure the microblading procedure is as pain free as possible. A strong topical anaesthetic cream is used prior to and during the procedure to keep you as comfortable as possible. Some clients find the procedure a little uncomfortable while others report no discomfort at all.

HOW LONG IS HEALING TIME?
Immediately after your microblading procedure and in the first 10 days, your brows will appear significantly darker and defined than perhaps your desired look. It may continue to get darker over the next few days as scabs begin to form, however this is not an accurate indication of the finished and healed result. 20-30% of your brow color will fade as the scabs fall off within 7-10 days. In some cases, the scabs may take longer to heal and fall off. DO NOT PICK YOUR SCABS. The pigment is within the scab and you do not want to pull any pigment out of your skin prematurely. We all heal differently and what works on one client may not be effective on another so please do not compare your results. The complete healing process takes approximately 6 weeks.

HOW DO YOU CHOOSE A COLOUR?
We choose a colour together by applying small amounts of different coloured pigments to the skin near to your brows and selecting the best match for your skin tone, features and personal preference. As a rule of thumb, we closely match the color of your brow hair rather than your current hair color for the most natural results.

CAN I HAVE MY EYEBROWS MICROBLADED IF I AM PREGNANT?
No you cannot have this treatment done if you are pregnant in case of infection.

DOES IT HURT AFTERWARDS?
The area can be a little sore for the first few hours and tender to touch for a couple days.

CAN YOU MICROBLADE OVER AN EXISTING BROW TATTOO?
Microblading can be done over an existing brow tattoo, however the old tattoo must be significantly faded for the hair strokes to show through and look natural. Please advise if you have an existing tattoo and submit a picture to determine if you are a candidate for this procedure.

WILL MY MICROBLADED EYEBROWS LOOK FAKE?
NO! Semi-Permanent makeup is done using a hand held blade and our eyebrow pigmentation unique artistry guarantees soft, natural looking eyebrows. When we implant semi-permanent makeup pigment in the skin, it appears more natural looking than topically applied cosmetics.

ARE THER ANY SIDE EFFECTS DURING OR AFTER THE PROCEDURE?
During the procedure there may be some minor bleeding. This depends on the client. If you take blood thinners on a daily basis, then some slight bleeding may occur. Bruising is rare but can occur. There is usually some tenderness for a few days.
