What is microblading?
Microblading is inserting pigment into the skin with a handheld tool called a microblade. This artistic technique uses fine lines to mimic hairstrokes in the brow area. Microblading can be used to define brow shape, fill in sparse areas or create a whole new eyebrow for those with little or no hair. Immediate results; lasting up to 12-18 months with proper care. Wake up to waterproof, sweat proof, and smudge-proof brows. A color boost may be needed before a year depending on the client’s skin type.
What are combo brows?
A combination of microblading in the front with microshading towards the tail end of brows. This combined look will create a fuller bold eyebrow, yet still very natural.

How long does it take to heal?
The first week, you'll need to avoid getting them wet, working out or wearing brow makeup. It takes about 4-6 weeks to completely heal. You may notice some of the pigment has lightened since the initial appointment. DO NOT be alarm this is common with microblading. It’s impossible to accurately predict how the pigment will affect a client skin type. A touch up is recommended in 6 weeks. During this appointment, we will add more pigment to perfect the brow shape and color.
​
How do I care for my new brows?
Stay out of the sun and water while your microblading heals; this may cause your color to fade. We recommend applying a small amount of A&D ointment once a day before bed. Do not pick or scratch the brow area. This may cause unwanted results!
