Microblading Details & FAQs

What is Microblading

Microblading is a gentle, semi-permanent technique that gives you naturally fuller,
beautifully shaped brows.

With a fine, hand-held tool, we create soft, realistic hair
strokes that blend seamlessly with your own brows for a natural, effortless look.
Each treatment is customized to your face, skin tone, and style, so your brows feel like your own—just enhanced. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to wake up every day with defined, balanced, and low-maintenance brows that last for 1–2 years.

How to Prepare for the Appointment

2 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT:

BOTOX: If you regularly get Botox/Dysport, it must be done at least 14 days prior
to your appointment. If you’ve had it done within 14 days of your appointment, we
will need to reschedule.

WAXING/THREADING: We recommend coming to your appointment with your
brows grown out to see how they grow naturally; we will clean them up for you. If
you decide to clean them up before, please do so at least 1-2 weeks prior to your
appointment. If you tint your brows, please do so at least 7 days prior.

RETIN-A: Please refrain from using any retin-a/retinol/exfoliation products on
your face for 2 weeks leading up to your appointment and after.

FACIALS/PEELS/LASER: Do not have any harsh facial treatments done within 2
weeks before and after your appointment. 

24 HOURS-72 HOURS BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT:

ALCOHOL: Please avoid any alcohol.

CAFFEINE: Avoid it! We know it’s hard to do.

MEDICATIONS: Avoid blood thinning medications 72 hours before your appointment. Consult with your doctor if needed. Common blood thinner medications to avoid are Aspirin, Eliquis, Warfarin, Xarelto, Dabigatran, Heparin, Lovenox, Clopidogrel, Dipyridamole, and others. Common blood thinner supplements to avoid are Ginger, Ginseng, Turmeric, Vitamin E, Garlic, Aloe, Fish oil, Chamomile, and others.

*If any of above are ingested, you will bleed a lot during your appointment making it harder for me to give you your ideal brows. Excessive bleedings increases the risk of infection, skin not holding pigment, and room for error. If you ingest of any of these prior to your appointment, please let me know!

DIRECTIONS: Please be sure to map directions to our studio. We have a strict 15-minute late policy, so please plan ahead to make sure you know how long the commute to the studio takes, and plan for traffic if appropriate. Please let us know if you will be running behind. 

DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT:

SHOWER: We recommend washing your hair the night before or morning of your appointment. This will give you a head start in the healing process so you won’t have to wash your hair right after you get your brows done. You will need to avoid direct water contact on brows for 7-10 days including no sweating, pools, lakes, sauna’s/steam rooms, salt water, and extreme sun exposure, so plan your vacations accordingly.

EXERCISE: Avoid exercise right before coming to your appointment, exercising increases blood flow and will cause excessive bleeding, leading to poor healed results.

MAKEUP: Please come with your brow makeup on! This helps me to see your regular and preferred shape and color. Please note that we also take before and after photos during your appointment.


What to expect AFTER the appointment

Redness and tightness around the treated area are normal and should subside within 24 hours. After your appointment, the pigment will oxidize, making your brows appear darker—and sometimes slightly redder—than their initial look. This is completely normal.

Around days 3–4, the treated area may begin to scab and flake, which is a natural part of the healing process. Avoid picking, scratching, or rubbing, as this can cause scarring or pigment loss. During this phase, your brows may look patchy until the healing process is complete.

By around day 10, once the flaking has stopped, your brows will appear lighter. Over the next 4–6 weeks, the pigment will settle, revealing the final healed color.

If any areas experience pigment loss, we can address it during your follow-up appointment.

Why is it necessary to wait 6 weeks for your touch up?

A 6 week touch up appointment is necessary because some strokes may fade during the healing process, which is normal! Most clients also like to add more strokes to their brows and go bolder.

When should you not get microblading?

  • Pregnant
  • Currently using Accutane or have used Accutane within the last year
  • Freshly tanned or sunburned face
  • On blood thinning medications or antibiotics
  • Have Rosacea or acne in the brow area
  • Currently undergoing cancer treatment, chemo, or radiation

If you have previously had microblading, can you still book?

If you have previous brow work, they must be at least 75% faded or have undergone tattoo removal. For the most natural-looking results, we need to start with a clean slate.

During your consultation, we’ll assess your brows and help determine the best plan for you.

Does it hurt?

Everyone’s pain tolerance is a little different, but most people are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the process is. We apply a topical numbing cream before and during your appointment to minimize any discomfort. You might feel a bit of pressure or a light scratching sensation, but most clients describe it as mild and completely manageable.
