Microblading
Microblading
Microblading is a manual technique used to create the appearance of real, natural hair. It is done with a handheld tool that has microscopic needles lined up to resemble a blade. Because microblading is the most imperfect and least structured technique, it is an excellent choice for those seeking a more natural look. This technique creates the appearance of faux hairstrokes by inserting pigment into the skin’s uppermost, superficial layers. By strategically placing faux hairstrokes where they are needed, you can achieve symmetry, density, shape, and fullness.
This method is ideal for people with normal to dry skin who want to look younger because the simulated hair strokes heal and stay crisper on these skin types. Clients with porous and oily skin will benefit more from the combo brow or ombré powder technique, as microblading alone will heal more powdery or blurry due to the skin’s excess oil production. Some of these customers are still churning.
Touch-ups are recommended on a regular basis to keep your brows looking good after microblading. Clients typically return every 1-2 years for a colour boost to maintain the shape and saturation of their brow tattoo, which will naturally fade over time. Fading is actually beneficial because it allows you to tweak or change the shape of your brows as trends change or you want to adopt a new look.
*Kindly note that for new clients, a touch-up is recommended within 6 to 8 weeks to achieve a more vibrant and lasting result. Please be advised that the touch-up is not included in the initial pricing.

After the procedure, the brow area will be slightly red, and the colour will appear very dark. This is expected for the procedure and is part of the healing process. As it heals, the colour will fade by up to 40%. The brows will remain dark for a few days, and you will notice some scabbing. It takes 7-14 days for the brows to heal and about a month for the colour to fully set in.
We take every precaution to make the microblading procedure as painless as possible. To keep you as comfortable as possible during the procedure, a strong topical anaesthetic cream is applied prior to and during the procedure. Some clients report minor discomfort during the procedure, while others report no discomfort at all.
To keep the colour vibrant, we recommend yearly touch-ups. It varies from client to client, but it can range from 9 months to 2 years, depending on the skin type and lifestyle of the client.
For the first 2 days, do not allow your newly microbladed eyebrows to come in contact with water.
We provide you with some Vitamin A & D ointment for you to take home and apply every 2-3 hours as needed for 7-10 days. Any redness or irritation will subside within 2 hours of completing your appointment.
Please remember the first 7 days will NOT reflect your true final result as the pigment has not yet peeled completely so they will look dark.
Things to avoid while healing: Tanning (UV exposure), Swimming, Saunas, Hot tubs, Gymnasiums or any activity that may cause you to sweat excessively.
