What's Microbladed Brows?

Microblading is a specialized method of applying pigment into the skin using a manual tool. This technique uses a gentle feathering of hair-like strokes to create a beautiful natural looking brow that will match every individual's unique bone structure.

What’s Combination Brows?

Combination eyebrows refer to a popular eyebrow enhancement technique that combines both microblading and shading. This method creates a natural yet defined look by using hair-like strokes and soft shading, resulting in fuller and more textured eyebrows.

What’s Ombre Brows?

Ombré brows are a trendy semi-permanent makeup technique that delivers a gradual color transition from light to dark, creating a soft, powdered effect on the eyebrows. This method results in a more defined and long-lasting look, perfect for those seeking bold, yet natural-looking brows.

What’s Henna?

Henna eyebrows involve using henna dye to tint and shape the eyebrows. This natural and temporary technique enhances the eyebrows' color and definition. It's a popular choice for achieving fuller and well-defined brows with a temporary and semi-permanent option.

What’s Lip Blushing?

Lip blushing is a cosmetic tattooing procedure that enhances the natural color and shape of the lips. It involves depositing pigment into the lips to create a more defined, fuller, and long-lasting appearance, often with a subtle tint. This technique is popular for achieving a natural and youthful lip look.

What’s Tattoo Eyeliner?

Tattoo eyeliner is a cosmetic tattooing procedure that involves applying permanent pigment along the lash line, mimicking the look of eyeliner. This technique enhances the eyes by creating a long-lasting, smudge-free eyeliner effect, eliminating the need for daily makeup application. There are 3 different types of eyeliner. The eyeliner can be extrememly natural or extremely sassy! Detailed descriptions can be found on the booking page.

What’s an Eyelash Lift?

An eyelash lift is a beauty treatment that enhances the appearance of natural lashes. It involves curling and lifting the lashes from the root, resulting in a more open, wide-eyed look. The effect is similar to that of using an eyelash curler but lasts longer and requires little to no maintenance.

Does It Hurt?

Pain is obviouslys subjective but the majority of my clients experience no pain. On a Scale of 1 to 10 (10 being max pain), average clients give a 2 Pain rating. 2 is often described as the feeling of firm pressure or sound. I do offer elevated numbing options for those that have a lower pain tolerance. Medical grade products such as a "BLT" Formula as well as Liquid Epinephrine. This is NOT usual and the Standard Cream found at most locations is 5% Lidocaine.

How Long Is The Procedure?

Initial procedures = 45 min to 3 hours depending on the procedure booked.

4 - 6 week follow up procedures (included in initial fees) = 1 - 2.5 hours depending on the procedure booked.

 

How Long Does It Last?

It is important to understand that Microblading, Lip Blushing, Eyeliner and Lash LIfts are Semi-Permanant procedures. Depending on the color chosen, skin textures and lifetsyle, procedures will last around the following time frames:

  • Eyebrows : 10 - 24 months

  • Henna : 1 - 2 weeks

  • Lip Blushing : 1 - 3 years

  • Eyeliner : 1 - 3 years

  • Lash Lifts : 4 - 6 weeks. Longer if currenty using eyelash growth serums.

Any artist that preforms this process too deep runs the risk of executing permanent pigment as well as damage your skin. Any artist that performs this process too shallow, the pigment will fade quickly and you are left wondering why you invested in that Groupon Deal. This is a process that should be taken very serious, always do your research.

Things that will speed up the fading process:

1. Sun exposure

2. Smoking

3. Skin Care products that include exfoliants, glycolic acids, hyaluronic acids and vitamins C.

4. Oily skin

5. Medications and Vitamins

6. Excessive sweating

7. Thyroid issues

What About Healing?

Healing will take 7 - 14 days for Microblading. Healing will take about 5 days for Lip Blushing. Healing will take 5 - 10 days for Eyeliner. Each individual will vary, this is an approximation. At your 4-6 Week Follow Up Appointment (PMU Eyebrows, Lip Blushing and Eyeliner), we will do any perfecting and address any color or shape changes IF needed.

  • Eyebrows : When leaving your initial appointment, your brows will ALWAYS Appear Darker/Brighter by 50 - 70%. They will stay this way for at least a few days or until the minor scabbing flakes off on its own. Your brows will be overly striking and accentuated. This is completely normal and temporary. It is part of the natural healing process. You must AVOID applying make up to the areas serviced until they have Healed (7 - 14 Days). You will DRY heal during the healing period. Wash the treated area twice a day with mild soap.

  • Lip Blushing : When leaving your initial appointment, your lips will ALWAYS appear bright and swollen. This is normal. Swelling will go down almost always by next day. Ice is encouraged. If you are some one that has ever had a cold sore, I would highly recommend taking your Valtrex 72 hours prior the appointment. Your only job during this tie frame is to keep them moisturized with natural oils! I offer a compact grapeseed oil that will last you both session for $10 if desired.

  • Eyeliner : When leaving your initial appointment, your eyelids will be slightly puffy. Nothing major. It will have the appearance that you were allergic to your mascara. Ice is encouraged as well as sleeping elevated. In most cases, swelling is completely gone 24- 48 hours after the appointment. You must AVOID mascara until they have Healed (5 - 10 Days). You will DRY heal during the healing period. Wash the treated area twice a day with mild soap.

  • Eyelash Lifts : No down time. You will want to avoid wetting them for 24 hours.

  • Henna : No down time. Brows will appear bold and fade over time until they completely disappear.

What do I need to know Prior to the Appointment?

Although everyone deserves to look and feel their best, some situations will prevent you from being an ideal Candidate. These are also Included in the consent Form you will be signing at the initial appointment.

  • AVOID at least 48 hours PRIOR to your procedure : blood thinners such as Alcohol, Aspirin, Motrin, Fish Oil, Tumericl...Basically ANY blood thinners. It is not a deal breaker but will result in pigment rejection.

  • Acutane. You must stop taking it 6 months before the procedure. Consult with your physician if you are concerned.

  • Pregnant or Breast Feeding? Consult your physician and requires a doctor's note

  • Diabetic? Consult your physician. I have done many a Diabetics in my day. Its just good to know that healing may be a little slower than the average person.

  • Actively doing Chemotherapy? Once Chemotherapy is completed...Add another 6 Months before Microblading. HOWEVER, if you are on the Chemo - Pill you are CLEARED for the procedure at anytime.

  • Moles? Raised Moles will NOT be Microbladed over.

  • Cold Sore Prone? Always take your Valtrex 72 hours prior to your Lip Blushing appointment.
