FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is it permanent?
No, all cosmetic tattoo procedures are all semi-permanent and only done on the superficial layer of the skin. This prevents any permanent scarring and/or damage to the skin.
Does it hurt?
A topical numbing agent is used to ensure the comfort of each client. Generally it shouldn't hurt after numbing. However there are a few factors that may cause the client to be more sensitive during the procedure including drinking caffeine or any energizing drinks prior to your service, time of the month and menopause.
How long is the procedure?
Timing of procedure varies per client.
Microblading - up to 2.5 hours
Shading Powder/Ombre - 2 to 3 hours

"I want to get my eyebrows done but i'm scared they will be too dark!"
This is a concern that many women have when it comes to considering getting their eyebrows done. The brows will be at its darkest and thickest at the beginning stages of the healing process. Please be patient as the pigment is absorbing into the skin. Once your brows are fully healed they will fade up to 40 to 60%. Majority of clients that ask to go lighter on their first appointment almost always ask to go darker for their touch up. This takes up a lot more time during your touch up and going over the whole brow just like the first appointment.
Shading Powder/Ombre
Great for all skin types. It is a bolder and more filled in look. Highly recommended for the ladies who don't want to fill in their eyebrows every day or drastically lessen the amount of time spent on filling their eyebrows in every morning. This technique is achieved using a manual tattoo device.
Combination brows
Great for all skin types. This technique is best for people who want a more natural head of brow while having bolder tail ends. This is achieved by microblading in the front with the blade and shading in the ends using the tattoo device. Another popular option (and less abrasive) is using a nano needle with the tattoo device and manually creating the hair strokes at the front of the brows brows instead of microblading.
Blade & Shade
Great for all skin types and for those who naturally have very thin & sparse brow hairs. This technique is a mixture of microblading all throughout the brows and shading to add more density.
Which technique would you recommend for me?
There are several brow techniques to choose from. It all depends on your own personal preference as well as considering the skin type of each individual client.
Microblading
Best suited for dry to normal skin types. This technique gives a more natural look to the brows as it replicates the appearance of brow hairs. This is achieved by making tiny incisions using a blade with multiple needles dipped in pigment only on the superficial layer of the skin. Going any deeper than this can result in scarring and damage to the skin. This technique is not recommended for oily or combination skin types as the pigment is less likely to hold and/or will not last more than 6 months. Microblading blends in the best with brows that already have natural flowing brow hairs.
What is the difference between powder and ombre?
Both are shading techniques which is achieved using a manual PMU device.
Powder - One solid colour throughout the whole brow. Powdery filled in effect.
Ombre - Ombre is the gradience of colour starting darker from the tail ends and getting lighter going up to the head of the brows.
