EYEBROW FAQ

EYEBROW FAQ

The eyebrows play a significant role in the aesthetics of the face. The shape, fullness, and symmetry of the brows all work together to highlight the eyes and frame the upper face.

Eyebrow tattoo can improve the shape, definition, and thickness of the brows.

  • Recommended for dry skin with adequate amount of brow hair.
Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow procedure that uses a fine blade to place semi-permanent pigment into the surface of the skin. The effect very closely mimics the look and detail of actual brow hairs, creating a bolder, natural-looking brow. This procedure does not require a tattoo gun and is quite different from a traditional tattoo in terms of procedure, permanency, colour, detail, and overall look.

Microblading is simply the best way to create natural-looking brows. It can also be referred to as eyebrow embroidery or feathering.
  • Recommended for any skin type with or without brow hair.
Microshading and ombré shading is also a semi-permanent eyebrow procedure where it uses a needle that places semi-permanent pigment in the upper layer of skin in a stippling technique. The overall look of the eyebrows once it has healed is more of a filled-in make-up look compared to the hair-like look of microblading. Some clients prefer this type of look or if someone has an oily skin complexion, this procedure might be more ideal for better healed results.
  • Recommended for any skin type with or without brow hair.
This is the best of both worlds – combining microblading and ombré shading together. Usually microblading is completed at the fronts of the brows to keep it looking more hair-like and fluffy and ombré shading is completed in the middle of the brows to the tails to keep the shape looking defined and more filled-in. If your skin-type is more oily, this method is great for retention longevity.
Correction | Colour Neutralization | Old tattoo Correction |
If you had your brows done by another artist and you wish to correct the shape and colour, we are happy to offer you corrective work as long as your old tattoo has been faded by 50% or more. Corrective work is done using Microshading and/or Ombre technique. Please note that it cannot be done with Microblading technique alone.

Highly effective topical anesthetic cream is used to numb the area to be treated. This helps to alleviate any minor discomfort you may experience during the procedure. Comfort levels varies according to individual pain threshold and response to anesthetics. Some people describe what they feel as ‘irritation’, ‘vibration’, or ‘a slight burning sensation’.

The pigments used on all our procedures are hypoallergenic and reactions to these products are extremely rare. However, after care instructions should be strictly followed to prevent any bacterial infection.

Color will always look darker and more intense immediately following a procedure. It will gradually lighten and soften upon healing, which should take about 3 to 7 days and continue to lighten over several weeks.

Semi-permanent makeup will last up to 2-3 years. It will gradually fade over time and we recommend that our clients come in for an annual touch-up to maintain a good shape and colour. However, the frequency of touch-ups depend on a number of factors including: your skin type, lifestyle (sun exposure), iron deficiency (your body absorbs iron-oxide as a supplement), and if any chemical peels come into contact with treated areas.

Within a few days, the lines that we’ve placed throughout your brows will begin to scab. This is completely natural but it could look a little patchy at first. To relieve the brows of itchiness or dryness, you may use coconut oil or grape seed oil.

Once the scab falls off naturally, the lines will begin to appear darker and your brows will take a fuller, more natural look within a few weeks.

Everyone’s skin is different and therefore may heal differently from this procedure. Depending on your skin type and how well your body heals from small scabs, some areas might retain pigment better than others.

We will do our best to ensure pigment is placed well within the skin to achieve exceptional results. A small percentage of clients might need two touch-ups instead of one. Please be patient and know that we are committed to getting you the results you want.

Semi-permanent makeup is a safe and reliable procedure and suitable for most people.  However, if you have any of the following conditions, please consult with your doctor before attempting any one of our procedures and bring a doctor’s note with you to your appointment.  If you have any of the following conditions and do not have a legitimate doctor’s note with approval, we cannot perform this procedure for you. There are no exceptions to this rule.

  • Pregnant and/or breast-feeding
  • On blood thinning medication
  • Have had injections/fillers in the brow area within the last 3 months
