HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Retention is between 2-3 years depending on your skin type,lifestyle, pre-care, after care and your previous work (if any). Lifestyle refers to being out in the sun, swimming, getting chemical peels, taking certain medications etc. These factors will cause your tattoo to fade faster. Our work is considered Permanent Makeup however, as it fades over time some may consider it semi-permanent. If maintained over time with annual touch ups, it may last a lifetime.
DOES IT HURT?
This will depend on your pain tolerance. However, we apply secondary numbing throughout the procedure to minimize any discomfort. We try to keep the pain level at a bare minimum. Most of our clients have a pain level 4/10 before numbing. Please note that we are naturally more sensitive during our menstrual cycle. If you have a low pain tolerance, avoid an appointment during this time.
HOW DO I DETERMINE WHAT SHAPE TO GO WITH?
We take into consideration our client’s face shape, structure, eye shape and personal preference. Our Artist measures and draws in the desired brows with a brow pencil. We always get our client’s consent prior to proceeding with the procedure.
HOW DO I DETERMINE WHAT COLOR TO PICK?
We work with our clients to determine what color to choose. When it comes to ombre brows, we usually choose a color that matches the client’s hair or brow hair. This ensures that the hair strokes we implant blends in seamlessly with the natural hair. As for Ombre or Powdered Brows we are able to go a few shades lighter or darker.
WHAT TECHNIQUE DO YOU RECOMMEND?
It depends what your preference is. Clients who want a subtle natural look tend to go with combo brows. We implant hairlike strokes in the front, looks best when you have a bit of hair to blend it in with. Then shade the ends.If you want to mimic makeup, or have no brows we suggest Ombre brows
SKIN TYPE?
Microblading is recommended for dry to normal skin. Recommended for those who have quite a bit of brows with little sparseness. Ombre brows are suitable to all skin types including oily skin. While oily skin types are not as recommended for the microblading portion, it doesn’t mean you might not get results.

MICROSHADING (OMBRE BROWS)
Semi-permanent eyebrow styling technique that uses a small machine to place extremely thin dots of pigment into the skin, creating a soft-shaded brow pencil look.
COMBO BROWS
Includes microshading from mid brow until the end. Whereas the front is done using microblading. Microblading is done using a disposable tiny blade dipped in pigment to “draw” hair strokes into the brow & following the natural hair growth
The entire healing process will take from 4-5 weeks depending on your body regeneration and age. Your new eyebrows will go through several phases during the healing cycle.
The pigment will appear very unnatural looking immediately after the procedure. The color of the pigment will appear much darker the next day. However, healed results will appear 30-40% lighter.
Note that because of natural skin regeneration, after the recovery period (peeling), brows might appear lighter than the original. This might give you the impression that color is fading too quickly. Often even with proper care, clients may have more fading in some areas which make
the brows look uneven. It is absolutely normal. That’s the reason why most clients need a touchup after 6 weeks.
Once the healing of the skin starts taking place, it will look like dandruff flakes or dry skin. However, this is just superficial color and dry skin being naturally removed from your eyebrows. The final look of your eyebrows will be apparent approximately 30 days after your procedure.
Never rub the treated area as it will disturb the skin from natural healing. Once completely healed, always apply a layer of sunscreen SPF 30 up to SPF 50 on your eyebrows when exposed to the sun. Sun exposure might cause the color pigment to fade away more quickly.
When using foundation, avoid the area of your healed eyebrows. If foundation covers healed brows, your eyebrows will appear lighter. You can now enjoy your beautiful new eyebrows. You will simply love your new gorgeous fresh look!
HOW LONG DOES THE SCABBING TAKE?
The scabbing will start on average day 7 and end on day 14. Keep in mind everyone heals at different rate
