Questions
Which service should i choose?
Our artists will assess your skin and discuss your goals at the appointment. If you choose the wrong service, not to worry! We will discuss the differences and answer any questions when we see you.
What should I bring to the appointment?
Most importantly, you must bring a valid ID. Dress in layers as you may get chilly during your appointment...we hope you even fall asleep! Feel free to bring water or snacks as a full procedure can take awhile.
Can I exercise after?
You sweat, you lose! Pigment that is... any activity that causes you to sweat increases your risk for pigment loss. We advise you hold off from working out for at least 8 days, or until all scabbing is complete.
is it painful?
We use two numbing applications to ensure discomfort is kept to a minimum. Microblading is sometimes described as annoying but tolerable with a few zingers. Some clients do not like the sound which is similar to Velcro. If you are one that is sensitive to noises, bring earbuds! Powder/Ombre can have clients feeling more tender as there is frequent wiping of the skin much like a body tattoo. After the procedure, clients often describe their brows feeling like a sunburn.
why does the appointment take so long?
The first 60-90min are spent creating the outline for your brows. We do not use stencils. An outlining session should never be less than an hour as this allows for precise measuring, symmetry and shape.
What shouldn't i do before the appointment?
1 day prior: avoid alcohol and caffeine
3 days prior: no more waxing of the brows
1 week prior: stop all heavier face products and start basic moisturizing
2 weeks prior: no botox
30 days prior: stop all acids/retinols/vit A/Latisse
1 year prior: stop Accutane
What is After Care like?
You will be sent home with an after care kit including instructions and products with fairly simple steps to follow. The bottom line is to baby those brows. You invested a lot of money and time in them so take care of them.
