What is Microblading?

Microblading is a semi-permanent tattooing technique that creates hairlike strokes to fill in sparse or thinning brows. #Microblading is performed with the use of an ultra-thin blade. This blade is a grouping of extremely fine needles affixed to a handle to manually create clean and crisp lines that resemble eyebrow hairs. Using a hand tool and blade, natural pigment is deposited into the upper dermal layer of the skin, making it semi-permanent for 1-2 years, depending on the skin type and lifestyle.​

Does Microblading hurt?

Everyone has different pain tolerances. I will always try my best to make sure you are as comfortable as possible and manage any discomfort. Most clients barely feel a thing – some even fall asleep while others find the pain intense, but manageable. Most say on a scale from 1-10 the pain level is 3.  

Numbing cream is applied prior to the procedure as well as a topical anaesthetic during the procedure. 

*Please note that if you are on your menstrual cycle or if you have had alcoholic beverages, coffee, or energizing drinks the day of and/or the night before, you may be more sensitive to the procedure.  We recommend to avoid these beverages 24 hrs prior to your appointment.

​

How long does the procedure take?

The appointment is typically 2 hours (sometimes 2.5) depending on how long it takes for your approval of the eyebrow shape and drawing.  Preparation, numbing, measuring and the drawing process can take up to 1 hour.  Microblading itself will take approximately 30-45 minutes.
