How long does it last?

At our studio, we want you to have stunning brows that last. Typically, your brows will keep their beautiful color for 1-2 years. However, to ensure your brows stay looking fresh and vibrant, we recommend scheduling a Color Boost appointment. Depending on your lifestyle habits, such as sun exposure, facial peels, or skin cell regenerative products, you may have more fading. During your touch-up appointment, which happens 6-8 weeks after your initial appointment, we'll be able to assess your retention level and determine how often you should come in for a Color Boost. If you're unsure when to book your next appointment, we suggest scheduling a Brow Check-In appointment, and our professionals can give you their expert opinion on the appropriate time frame to book for.

Will it hurt?

While this procedure is generally well-tolerated, it's important to note that there may be some discomfort involved. Many people compare the sensation to having their brows plucked or threaded. To help keep you as comfortable as possible, we apply a topical numbing anesthetic before beginning the procedure, and liquid anesthetic is used throughout. Rest assured that we'll do everything we can to ensure your experience is as pleasant as possible.

How long does the appointment take?

The length of your initial appointment will depend on the artist you've booked with. Amber's appointment slot is typically around 2 hours, while Tabitha's appointment slot is approximately 3 hours. However, in some cases, the appointment may not take up the full time slot. We factor in time for paperwork, so there's no need to arrive earlier than scheduled unless instructed otherwise. During your initial appointment, the actual Microblading process usually takes between 30 to 45 minutes. The rest of the time will be spent on consulting, shaping your brows, color selection, and skin analysis. For touch-up and color boost appointments, we set aside an hour and a half.

How many treatments will I require?

Typically, only one touch-up appointment is necessary, and it's included in your initial investment. This appointment takes place 6-8 weeks after your first treatment. However, for clients with particularly oily or difficult skin or those looking for a very light brow color (blonde/taupe), an additional touch-up may be required outside of the initial appointment and 6-8 week touch-up. This service incurs a cost of $75 and should be booked 6-8 weeks after your initial touch-up.

Am I an ideal candidate for this procedure?

Microblading is generally a safe and reliable procedure that's suitable for most people. However, the following conditions listed are disqualifying factors for Microblading.

Keloid scarring

Diabetes with severe symptoms
Use of blood-thinning medication and cannot discontinue for more than 4 days
Accutane use within the last 12 months (you must be clear of your prescription for at least 12 months prior to your appointment)
Chemotherapy or radiation (you must be clear of your prescription for at least 12 months prior to your appointment)
Diagnosed dermatitis or severe eczema in or around the brow area
