Info For Scheduled Clients

Microblading and similar procedures are done in multiple sessions. Because healed results are different for every client, for many different reasons, NO guarantees can be made! Addditional touchups (at an additional charge) may be needed to achieve the best results. Every effort is made to provide the best service, but factors beyond our control can affect the outcome. Everyone heals differently, and the amount of bleeding varies from person to person. In order for your brows to heal properly and look thier best, please follow all pre-appointment and aftercare instructions! They are in place to limit the amount of sensitivity and bleeding you may experience during the procedure. Excessive bleeding can expel pigment out of the brows, or dilute it, resulting in poor retention and/or patchiness, which will require multiple sessions to achieve the desired results.

Consultations are always done prior to beginning any work to get an understanding of what you are looking to achieve, and to identify how best to bring out your natural beauty features. Feel free to come in with your makeup done how you prefer, or with your favorite brow pencil or even photos, so that we can get a feel for what you like! Color and shape will be discussed, as well as different techniques that may benefit you best based on your skin type and desired results. If you are unsure about whether you want microblading, powder, or a combo of the two, that can be discussed when you come in and can see the differences.

Brows are mapped out using the golden ratio and mapping tools. We shape the area using an outline around the brows and make sure things look as even as possible! The shape will be shown to you and once it's approved, the brows are numbed with a lidocaine and epinephrine cream. A completely painless procedure cannot be guaranteed, but the majority of clients do not feel much, if any pain at all. Some even fall asleep!

Previous Work and Color Corrections

If you are scheduling for the first time with us and you have previous work done from another studio, a clear photo of the area with no makeup on and no filter must be sent in prior to scheduling so that we can evaluate if correction can be done or if the area requires lightening/removal. This can be emailed to me at cindymcdaniel7171@gmail.com. Please note that in order to best correct previous work, multiple sessions may be needed!

Before Your Appointment

It all starts with a good canvas! The eyebrow area must be healthy, strong, non-sensitive, and non-irritated. Here’s how to get your skin ready for the procedure:

·Do not pick/tweeze/wax/perform electrolysis one week before the procedure

·Do not tan two weeks prior to the service, or have a sunburned face

·Do not have any type of facial 2 weeks prior to the procedure

·Do not work out the day of the procedure

·Do not have botox 3 weeks prior to the procedure

·Do not take Fish Oil or Vitamin E one week prior to the procedure (they are natural blood thinners)

·Do not wax or tint your eyebrows 3 days prior to the procedure.

In order to avoid excessive bleeding and poor color deposit:

·Do not drink alcohol 24 - 48 hours before your tattoo

·Do not consume coffee before your procedure

·Do not take an Aspirin or Ibuprofen for pain relief (these also thin the blood)

After Your Appointment

The day of the treatment: Absorb

After the procedure, gently blot the area with clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this every 5 minutes for the full day until the oozing has stopped. Removing this fluid prevents hardening of the lymphatic fluids.

Days 1-7: Wash

Wash daily to remove bacteria, build up of product and oils, and dead skin. (Don't worry, THIS DOES NOT REMOVE THE PIGMENT!)

Gently wash your eyebrows each morning and night with water and an antibacterial soap like Dial Soap, Cetaphil, or Neutrogena. With a very light touch, use your fingertips to gently cleanse the eyebrows. Rub the area in a smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with water ensuring that all soap is rinsed away. To dry, gently pat with a clean tissue. DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or exfoliants.

Days 1-7 Moisturize

Apply a rice grain amount of aftercare ointment with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated area. Be sure not to over-apply, as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin. NEVER put the ointment on a wet or damp tattoo.

This should have you covered, but here are some extra tips to help with a smooth and easy recovery:

Important Reminders

·Use a fresh pillowcase while you sleep.

·Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate away. Picking can cause scarring or loss of color.

·No facials, botox, chemical treatments or microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.

·Avoid hot, sweaty exercise for one week.

·Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for 4 weeks after the procedure. Wear a hat when outdoors.

·Avoid long, hot showers for the first 10 days.

·Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 10 days.

·Avoid face-down swimming, lakes, and hot tubs for the first 10 days,

·Avoid topical makeup and sunscreen on the area.

·DO NOT rub, pick, or scratch the treated area.

Remember, with the proper prep and aftercare routine, you will have much better results with your microblading procedure. Don’t forget your new favourite acronym: AWM - Absorb, Wash, Moisturize!

Important note about showering:

Limit your showers to 5 minutes so that you do not create too much steam. Keep your face/procedure area out of the water while you wash your body, then, at the end of your shower, wash your hair. Your face should only be getting wet only at the end of the shower. Avoid excessive rinsing and hot water on the treated area.
