FAQ'S

Microblading is a modern form of permanent cosmetics in which the specialist uses a tool with very fine blades to deposit pigment into the epidermis to manually create hyper-realistic hair strokes. Thin eyebrows can be made to look fuller and shaplier.  

Microblading is ideal for anyone wanting to enhance the look of their eyebrows. The results are natural looking hair-like strokes, regardless of the amount of hair you currently have. Microblading can last 1-2 years depending on skin type and aftercare compliance.

People suffering from alopecia, trigonometrical or any other condition that causes hair loss benefit greatly from microblading, as well as people who simply aren't happy with their eyebrows. 

Recommended for clients with fine brow hairs and dry to normal skin type.

This form of eyebrow style does not include any hair like strokes that can mimic the look of natural brow hair. Instead this technique requires complete shading of the brow, from the head to the tail. The ombre/powder brow is compared to brows when filled in with makeup. The head starts out light and gradually gets darker all the way to the end of the tail. This style is for those looking for a fierce and sharp look.

Recommended for clients with all skin types.

This style of brow combines  microblading and shading all in one. Microblading to create hair like strokes and added shading for depth. Perfect for a super natural, yet more profound style of brow.

Your procedure may look patchy and uneven as the skin heals, drys out, sheds and color moves forward. Your skin may or may not retain the ink.
