**MICROBLADING**
Microblading is a semi-permanent tattoo technique that involves using tiny, fine point needles that make up a small, disposable blade. The blade finely scratches the surface of the skin, creating featherweight strokes on the epidermis layer of the skin.
It’s create by a handheld tool w/a fine blade to mimic natural hair like strokes, creating the illusion of perfectly shaped eyebrows. Best suited for normal/ dry skin & those w/ LOTS of brow hairs.
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR OILY SKIN, LAST ABOUT 1 YEAR.

How Long Does Microblading Last?

Since Microblading pigments are not implanted into the skin as deep as traditional tattoos, the area will naturally fade over tie. The microblading results can last anywhere between 1 - 2 years depending on skin types, lifestyle, age and how often you get touch-ups.

Your skincare routine will also have an effect on the longevity of the pigment. Clients who tan, use chemical peels or products with AHA or Glycolic Acid will fade faster as you skin will resurface faster.

PRE-TREATMENT CHECK LISTS

Must have moderate fine eyebrow hair, dry skin and small pores.

Must not be under the influence of alcohol and/ or drugs during the appointment. If you think you might have an allergy to our ink, numbing cream, or alcohol (which is in the ink), then you may have a reaction to our work. We suggest you to schedule a patch test at our Salon to ensure you have no reactions.

If you have a pre-existing eyebrow tattoo or permanent makeup. The tattoo or permanent makeup must be light enough for us to work on. We ask anyone with a previous eyebrow tattoo to send us an email with a picture of their eyebrows with no makeup on, so we can evaluate. Email brow photos to: browtifulbar.com

Must not have acnes around the eyebrows or sensitive skin as there will be more bleeding during the procedure, poor color retention, and a higher risk of scarring.

If you are prone to post-inflammatory hypo-pigmentation or Prone to Keloids (Please schedule a patch test to see if you are eligible.)

Those with a blood disease such as HIV or Hepatitis are suggested not to proceed with the procedure. Due to difficulties of the body being able to fight infections, it would be in your best interest not to move forward with a procedure.

Juvederm, Botox or fillers in the eyebrow area. Please wait at least 4 weeks.

Skin medications like Accutane, which thin and make the skin more sensitive. Please wait 6 months after getting off any skin medication.

After My 2nd Session, When Will You Need Another Touch Up?

If you want to keep your brows maintained, you will be required to come back every 12 - 18 months from your last appointment. If you decide not to proceed with a touch-up, your brows will last around 2 years and will eventually fade away. Longevity will vary per lifestyle and skin-type.
Microblading touch-ups are similar to getting root touch-ups for your hair. If you go when your microblading first starts fading, you can simply have the color filled in. But if you wait longer than your artist recommends, you may have to have the whole microblading procedure completed again.
When Should You Book It?

You may book your 2nd session 4-6 weeks after your 1st session appointment.
Please note: if you decide to come back for a second session past 12 weeks of your initial session, this may result in faded strokes which may result in additional charges due to extra work that may be needed. It is your responsibility to schedule your second session appointment.
Why Do You Need A Second Session?

During your 2nd session, we will go over every micro-stroke you had applied during your 1st session. Additional strokes may also be added to give your brows more dimension.
For new clients to Microblading, it will take 2 sessions to complete your desired brows and ensure longevity.
