Microblading is a way to achieve natural-looking eyebrows for those who don't have much (or any) brow hair or those who just want brows that are more full or filled in. It is a manual semi-permanent makeup procedure where tiny needles, which make up a small blade, are used to deposit pigment underneath the top layer of the skin. We do not use a tattoo gun, and pigment is used instead of ink to make natural-looking hair strokes and/or a powdered look.

It is highly recommended for you to book a consultation prior to having Microblading done so we can discuss your expectations and you can see how the process works. It also gives us a chance to fill out some paperwork ahead of time. A consultation will help calm any anxiety you may have, and you will be able to get all of you questions answered.

YES! Most of what I use are one-time use disposable items. I also thoroughly clean, sanitize, and sterilize all of my reusable tools. I also use sterile water during the procedure. My sterilizer is a high-pressure steam autoclave, which is used in many hospitals and dental offices. I have an incredibly high standard of cleanliness due to my background working in various hospital and healthcare settings.

Yes! Some natural fading will occur during the healing process after your initial procedure. This happens because some parts of the skin may take pigment better than others. If you have very oily skin, you may need two touch-ups. We fix all of this fading in the touch-up as well as any areas you may want to shade or add a few more hair strokes. This touch-up must be done 6-12 weeks after the first procedure. We actually call this first touch-up the Perfecting Session.

Most clients say it doesn't hurt or that it just stings a little, but it depends on your pain tolerance. I am not stingy with numbing creams/gels and will make sure you are as comfortable as possible.

That depends on a few things. If your tattoo has significantly faded, it is much easier to make it look more natural. Dark tattoo cannot be Microbladed, because it won't show up. Also, if your eyebrows were tattooed quite unevenly, you may need to do tattoo removal first. Otherwise, we will have to do a very thick brow to make them match. Please send me a very clear close-up photo of your brows with no makeup on so I may assess if we can Microblade over your tattoo: CONTACT ME HERE with your photo.

I will be offering tattoo removal soon.

This depends how how much hair you naturally have, and your natural symmetry. However, I always say to allow for 3 hours for the initial procedure and and hour-and-a-half for the touch-up. Most of your first appointment is spent meticulously mapping and measuring to make sure you get the most perfect symmetrical brows that you LOVE before we start with the actual Microblading.

I will give you some printed directions and an after care kit to use on your brows following the procedure, which we will discuss before you leave. CLICK HERE to read the directions.

I use the highest quality and most expensive pigments on the market today. The color fades less than cheap versions and stays true to color, so you don't have to worry about your brows turning blue or grey.

Your color will be custom blended according to your hair color, skin type, and preference.

Microblading is usually $550 for the first session and $150 for the Perfecting Session. We do need a consultation to determine what your exact needs are.

No, and please be VERY CAUTIOUS when getting cheap Microblading! Oftentimes cheap materials are used, because good supplies are expensive! If cheap needles are used, they can tear and damage your skin and leave scarring. Cheap pigments may also be used that don't last or turn funny colors. Sanitation & sterilization are also a HUGE DEAL to avoid infection and transmission of disease! Sterilization equipment and maintenance are not cheap! Remember, you get what you pay for! Cheap cost usually means cheap results or infection that you end up paying to fix later!

That is entirely up to you. While it is never expected, it is always appreciated. As artists, it is one of the highest compliments we can receive. The only thing better is referrals! :)

It is possible to remove Microblading pigment following a less-than-desirable procedure. CLICK HERE to find out how. If it has been less than 24 hours, please text me for an emergency session. If it has been longer than 48 hours, you will need to wait at least three months before having it done again. Before you try to remove it, feel free to send me a photo or arrange a meeting with me to take a look. I may be able to touch them up for you.

Please be VERY CAREFUL when talking to artists about removal techniques. If it is not laser removal performed by a doctor, it is probably not a legal procedure.

This is a form of filling in the brows so they look like they are always filled in with a pencil. Please schedule a consultation so we can see what style will be best for you.
