MICROBLADING & PERMANENT MAKEUP FAQ​
​
How long does the appointment take?
Your initial session takes 2 to 3 hours. This time allows us to fully customize your brows with precise mapping, perfect color selection, and detailed application to ensure the best possible results.
​
How long will my brows last?
Results typically last 12 to 36 months depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you follow aftercare. Most clients love refreshing their brows every 12 to 24 months to keep them looking soft, fresh, and defined.
​
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Preparation is one of the most important steps in achieving beautiful, long lasting results. Following these guidelines ensures better pigment retention and a smoother healing process.

Also allow your natural brows to grow in. Avoid plucking, waxing, threading, or tweezing for at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment. The more natural hair we have to work with, the better your final result will be.
​
How long is the healing process?
Healing happens in stages and is completely normal. Your brows will appear 30% to 40% darker for the first few days before softening into their final result. Light flaking or peeling may occur as your skin heals. Avoid makeup on the brows for 1 to 2 weeks and do not submerge them in water during the healing phase. Proper aftercare is key to achieving the best, long lasting results.
​
Does it hurt?
Most clients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. We use a high quality numbing agent throughout the service to keep you relaxed and comfortable.
​
Will my brows look natural?
Absolutely. Every set of brows is fully customized to your face shape, bone structure, and natural hair growth. Our goal is always to enhance your features while keeping your brows looking soft, balanced, and natural.
​
Who is NOT a good candidate?
This service may not be suitable if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, currently taking Accutane, or have certain medical or skin conditions. If you are unsure, please reach out before booking so we can guide you in the right direction.
​
Can you work over previous permanent makeup?
In many cases, yes. However, previous work must be reviewed first to ensure the best possible outcome. Please send clear photos before booking so we can determine the best approach for your brows.
​
Do I need a touch up?A touch up is not always required, as every client heals differently. However, most clients choose to come in for a perfecting session to refine the shape, adjust the color, and ensure the best possible healed result. Your artist will let you know if a touch up would benefit your specific brows.
​
What is the difference between microblading, nano, and powder brows?
Each technique is designed for different skin types and goals, but all are customized to give you the best possible result.
Microblading is the most natural looking option and our most requested service. Nano brows are machine based and are better suited for certain skin types. Powder brows create a fuller, makeup style finish. During your brow appointment, we will select the technique that will give you the most beautiful and long lasting results.
