Frequently Asked Questions

Usually Microblading/Soft Powder or Effortless Brows or Eyeliner are done in two sessions. The first takes two hours. Lips take a little longer. In the first session, the brow, eyeliner and lips are shaped and styled to the client’s preference, and pigment is applied. 4-6 weeks later, the client returns for the second session for the perfecting appointment This takes one to two hours depending on how much work needs to be done.

It takes 14 days for outer healing. In that time any redness will fade and the initial darkness of the permanent makeup will begin to lighten. Inner healing takes 30 days. In that time the color will lighten over the 30 days as it completely sets in. Lips heal differently as they will peel for the first 5 days, then disappear and then come back darker in the first 3 weeks.

Perfecting appointments are necessary because everyone heals differently and therefore the outcomes vary. Sometimes it is necessary to adjust the color and brow and liner thickness by adding more strokes or create a thicker eyeliner and adding more lip color. In the perfecting session, the final adjustments are made to assure the client’s satisfaction.

This is not recommended because the healing needs to be completed before the final results are seen. Final adjustments should only be done after the initial work has completely healed.

No, I work within the hairs and actually when microblading I work to follow how your hair grows so that no one knows which is your hair and which has been microbladed. Microblading is done to enhance what you already have to make the eyebrows look as natural as possible. Microblading is a great solution for people who have over-plucked their eyebrows, or who have naturally very thin/light eyebrows and want to accentuate the look of eyebrows on their face. It is not necessary, nor recommended for a client to get rid of any natural hair he or she may already have.

I use the most current and best numbing products so that when I am working on you it feels pressure, not pain. I walk you through the process and constantly working to be sure you are comfortable.

Eyeliner is done with the eyes closed. I use only manual tools which is very gentle and effective to get the correct amount of pigment into your skin that allows your permanent cosmetics procedure to last. I use 3 – 4 types of numbing products and most of my clients say it feels like I am tugging on their eyelashes. I send you home with green tea bags to place on your eyes to bring down any swelling you may have.

Generally Microblading lasts 9 months to 1 1/2 years, depending on skin type…normal, oily, or dry and age…young or mature. There is only one layer of pigment in the skin, therefore it fades faster. Skincare also affects the duration of the pigments. To maintain the brows, a color boost may be done every 12 – 18 months.

Because there is more pigment implanted throughout the area, you can expect that this technique will last 2-3 years before a color boost is needed.

No, my pricing is much less from 6-18 months and two to four years. Only after 5 years would you pay full price, less a loyalty discount.

I do color boosts of other artists work and corrective work, sometimes your colors fade or change and we talk extensively about what you would like the end result to be and we work to achieve that.

Proper procedures and precautions are used to ensure safe procedures. Sterilized tools and disposable tools are used in a sanitized environment. When pre and post care instructions are followed the risk of complications are minimal. Allergic reactions to pigments are very rare, but sometimes occur. For this reason, a pigment patch test for those with sensitive skin or to topical makeup product, gold , silver, nickel, or hair dyes should be patch tested a week in advance of the procedure.

No. Microblading itself will not cause scarring. What can cause scarring is possibly the artist going too deep into the skin, the client's skin type if prone to scarring or picking at the healing skin. This is why it is extremely important to make sure the client knows NOT pick at any scabs or flaking skin after they have had a microblading procedure. Picking could result in the loss of pigment as well as scarring.
