Microblading is done first with a single-use sterile needle to create hair-like strokes. The shading technique is then done with a cosmetic tattoo machine to create a fuller, more blended appearance.

How to prepare for your microshading appointment:
Think of your ideal brow, concerns about the current brow, and a reference photo if you have one.
You may wear makeup to the appointment to give us an idea how you normally style your brow.
You may wax or sugar before your appointment at a minimum of 3 days prior.
Avoid all blood thinners for 72 hours prior to appointment; aspirin, fish oil, vitamin e, ibuprofen or other blood thinners like alcohol and caffeine 24 hours prior.
Important Notes:
No caffeine on the morning of your appointment.
Do not take blood thinners for 48 hour prior to your appointment.
No makeup or soaking your brows in water or sweat while healing for 2 weeks.
Micropigmentation is done in TWO appointments, your brows are not final until the 2nd session has healed.
Micropigmentation is a process, it might feel slow but the long-term quality results are worth it.
Healing time is 7-14 days; we all heal differently and results are not guaranteed.
