Microblading is a 4 step process
1st Session - After Care - Touch up Session - Up Keep
1st Session
During your first session I'll go over the process and what to expect during and after the procedure. I'll answer any and all questions you may have and I will go over the microblading contract with you to make sure you understand the process, risks and expectations.
You will be face mapped so I can get your brows as symmetrical as possible for your unique face shape. Once you are mapped you can always ask for a higher arch, longer tail, thicker, or thinner, ect. It's all in your hands or you can just let me do my artistic magic. Up to you.
After mapping we will go ahead and numb you as well as do an allergy test to make sure you are not allergic to the pigment.
When all is clear and you are numbed, we go ahead and start on the actual microblading process which takes between 30 to 45 minutes. It may be slightly longer if a second numbing is needed. There are 2 "passes" and a 3rd may be needed for pigment retention but is usually not needed.
The Reveal. (My favorite part)
I will show you your enhanced and improved brows.
Once we have those brows on fleek, we will go over after care, the do's and don'ts and what can help you get the best, longest lasting results.
After Care
I can make you the BEST set of brows you've ever had BUT if you do not take care of them your touch up session can only do so much. It is IMPERATIVE that you take care of your brows. Take the after care seriously. You spent your hard earned money and endured the procedure so its worth to really take care of your brows before your touch up.
For your first Microblading, Blade and Shade or Ombre session, you will receive and after care kit which will have everything you need to heal for the next 7-10 days.
Touch up Session
For the best results, you will need a touch up 4-6 weeks after your first session. The touch up will fill in pigment that was lost during healing or if you want an area a bit more fuller this would be the time to do so.
Please view my touch up prices for future upkeep.
Up Keep
Microblading can last 6 months to 1.5 years until you will need another touch up. It's different for everyone and there skin type and lifestyle. People prone to oily skin, exercise and sweat a lot may need a touch up 6 months after or someone who swims or gets micro-dermabrasion or is out in the sun a lot may need there touch up sooner.

Aftercare Instructions
After care is very important for producing a beautiful and lasting result.
Clean and Balm before bed, once you wake up and 3 times during the day for great results. 7-10 days after procedure.
1. Clean: Keep the area clean by patting lightly with baby wipe. Do not rub, simply pat.
2. Balm: After cleaning use your balm by placing balm on a q-tip and placing a good layer on your healing brows. Make sure not to rub in. Keep those brows balmed as much as possible the first 10 days.
*Do not allow your brows to dry out. They will crust and peel off.
· Crust: Should it scab over (we all heal differently) DO NOT PICK or PEEL OFF. Allow to flake off naturally.
· Makeup and Working out: Wait 7 to 10 days.
· Sun block: Sun block of at least SPF30 should be used after the area has healed to protect from sun fading. Stay out of direct sunlight or tanning booths for 7-10 days.
· Activities: Do not go swimming or soak in a tub or Jacuzzi until tattoo is completely healed. Showers are fine just not steamy. You don’t want your pores to open and push out that pigment. Do not use hydrogen peroxide, witch hazel or running alcohol on your tattoo. Do not participate in activities that will make you sweat until it heals.
What is normal
· Swelling: Mild swelling, itching, light scabbing, light bruising and dry tightness can be normal. Use your aftercare balm for relief.
· Appearance: Too dark/light or slightly uneven can occur. 2-7 days the darkness will fade and once swelling dissipates unevenness usually disappears. If they are not to your satisfaction, the touch up appointment is very important and the changes can be made once healed.
· Touch up: Microblading is a process, touch ups are highly recommended for long lasting results. If pigments still fades, then a 6 month to 12 month procedure should be done again.
****Failure to follow up after care instructions may result in infections, pigment loss or discoloration****
