Microblading and Powder Brows
Unlike traditional tattooing, it is less invasive and is considered semi-permanent. Cosmetic tattooing typically lasts up to 3 years depending on skin type, age and lifestyle. Excellent for those wanting to enhance their brows or who have little to no eyebrows, thinning brows from age or over tweezed brows. Pigments used are chosen to match the natural or desired brow color and skin tone will also be taken into consideration
Pricing: $450
*please allow up to 3hrs for your procedure. Consultation and drawing out the brow before tattooing take up majority of your procedure time.
Techniques
Microblading is a semi-permanent tattooing technique that creates hair-like strokes to fill in sparse or thinning brows using pigment. Best for clients with dry skin. Not recommended for clients with oily or combination skin. Natural oils cause the tattoo to eventually blur or not last long.
Powdered Brow is a semi-permanent technique for clients who prefer fuller result than hair strokes but still very soft. The Ombre Powder Brow technique has the effect of light to dark. The front of the eye brow is soft and graduates to a darker tail. Recommended for clients with oily or combination skin. Clients with dry skin can also get this technique.
Micro- Shading is a technique using hair strokes at the front of the eye brow then graduating into a powder technique. Most skin types.
Ombre Micro-Shading is a technique using a combination of both microblading and powder. Most popular technique available.
Color Refreshers $225 per session (must be a previous client) This is dependent on the clients preference of darkening fading brows for a refreshed appearance.
if you’re thinking you’re ready for a microblading procedure, it is important to know that the results of your semi permanent makeup will be based on the health and quality of your skin. Results will vary from person to person, and if you have a pre-existing skin condition or are on medications, you may still be eligible for a procedure but should adjust your expectations based on your situation. Like any procedure, every person is unique and will react differently. If all checks out and your skin is in good physical condition.

The following conditions do not prevent you from getting permanent makeup, but should be considered when deciding if it is right for you.
Cirrhosis of the Liver: Susceptible to infection
Scar tissue: Scars can be tattooed over, however be aware that scar tissue can prevent proper healing; pigment may not take to the skin at all. This can happens if you've had microblading or permanent makeup in the past.
Platelet Disorders- Causes more bleeding to occur, and therefore lower pigment retention.
Moles/raised areas in or around the area: Pigment will not be put into moles or anything raised but you can be tattooed around them
Thyroid medications: Potential for faster fading and need for more touch-ups
Auto Immune Disorder of any kind (MS, RA, Lupus etc): Due to the medicines to treat these disorders, pigment will not retain well
Anemia: Will require more touch-ups
Tanning: May alter color over time
MEDICATIONS: Taking certain medications can effect your skin and the way it heals. Taking a lot of different medications at once will also make it harder to predict how well the permanent makeup will heal on you (no its not the same as a regular tattoo).
The following medications will prevent proper pigment retention and if you take any of these regularly you should not get permanent makeup:
Triflusal (Disgren)
Clopidogrel (Plavix)
Prasugrel (Effient)
