EYEBROW MICROBLADING

EYEBROWS MICROBLADING

Microblading, also known by a variety of names such as embroidery, micro-stroking, 3D brows, feather touch and hair like strokes, is a form of semi-Permanent Makeup that provides a means to partially or fully create a realistic illusion of missing eyebrow hair with the appearance of simulated hair using fine deposits of cosmetic tattoo pigments. Unlike a regular tattoo, Microblading is a form of tattoo artistry where pigment is implanted under the skin with a manual handle tool instead of a machine. Microblading artists draw hair strokes to mimic natural eyebrow hair.

Microblading is a semi-permanent tattooing technique that creates hairlike strokes to fill in sparse or thinning brows. The practice aims to give you an effortless full brow ― no need for expensive brow pencils or gels. Of course, this sounds great in theory. But it is a major investment: microblading can cost anywhere from $350 to $600. And if you’re going to get a tattoo, especially one on your face, you need to do your research.

1. No, it’s not permanent

As we mentioned above, microblading is semi-permanent.

Cosmetic tattooing, unlike body art tattooing, is much more superficial to the skin. The inks are also much more degradable. Your own immune system will digest the ink and also push out the pigment as well. Over time these looks tend to fade. It lasts for one to three years depending on your skin and lifestyle.

Microblading does require touchups yearly or bi-yearly.

2. Most people require two sessions to get their ideal brow

Your average person needs about two sessions ― one first session, and then they can come back 4-5 weeks later for a touch-up session. You have to come back 4-5 weeks later because, depending on the skin type, your skin may push out a bit of ink and in some places the hair strokes won’t be as saturated as we want them. You can tell if there’s minor imperfections after the first session that need to be filled in.

3. Some skin types retain ink better than others

Very oily skin types are the most difficult skin type to work with. They’re at risk of rejecting the pigment, and more concerning, they are prone to pigment hydration, which is where the pigment fans into each other, the strokes sort of blend and it ends up looking like a powder-filled brow more than it looks like distinct strokes. If you have a tendency to scar or retain keloids very easily, you might not want to have this procedure.

4. Microblading can take a few hours

It takes up to two hours per client just to draw the brow. The drawing is the most tedious part and the huge majority of the session.No one thinks about their eyebrows as much as they do when they are about to get them tattooed. It takes quite a while to figure out what the clients are looking for, draw that on their face, but most importantly, take into consideration their facial imbalances.

5. Your eyebrows will not look identical (but we will do our best to match)

“Eyebrows are sisters, not twins”. This is very true and very important for people to understand so that they have realistic expectations. Nobody’s eyes are equidistant from the bridge of their nose so the starting points of your eyebrows are a little different. And your ocular cavities ― one side right above your brow bone is sometimes a little bit more flat or rounded. So there’s a lot to account for.

6. Yes, it might hurt a little bit

We do apply topical numbing cream to make your experience more pleasant. 

However , everyone’s paint tolerance is different so as experience. We can promise, no one ever walked away because it was not tolerable. 

7. Your brows will lighten considerably after the first week

If you’re afraid your brows are too dark as you walk out of the salon, don’t panic.

They will look darker during the healing period, so please don’t panic. Trust the process and follow the aftercare instructions carefully. The first three days are the darkest days, where your eyebrows look darker. By days four and five those little scabs start to fall off and by days seven and eight you can actually see the result underneath. It’s about 50 to 75 percent lighter than the day one eyebrows. The look fades significantly.
