Eyebrow microblading is a semi permanent eyebrow tattoo that lasts up to 12-24 months, although the longevity varies for each person. This technique involves drawing each individual hair stroke onto the clients eyebrows, using a light handheld tool with very fine needles to create the perfect natural and realistic brow. It is a two step process, in the initial microblading appointment we will consult and design the desired shape. The touch up appointment is necessary to consolidate the colour, touch up fading and make any adjustments to the shape or colour if needed.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
The initial appointment will take approximately 1-2 hours or longer if necessary. This will include filling out of forms, eyebrow design, colour choice and the tattooing procedure. The follow up appointment will take approximately 1-2 hours.
DOES IT HURT?
Everyone has a different level of sensitivity/pain so topical anaesthetics are applied before and during the procedure to eliminate sensitivity and discomfort.
