What is Microblading + Powder?

 

Microblading is a technique in permanent makeupmeant to look like real hairstrokes. It is done with a manual tool and blade. It is best suited for dry skin and lasts 10-18 months. Powder is a technique is meant to mimic the look of a powder makeup, a more "filled in" look. It is best suited for any skin type and lasts 1-3 years. The combination of the two is absolutely gorgeous!

What can I expect at my appointment?

​

When you come into your appointment, we will go over a few medical questions to make sure you are a good candidate for permanent makeup. Next we will take before photos. From there we will start the mapping process and then numb for 20 minutes while the consent form is filled out. After you're finished numbing, we will start working on those beautiful brows!

How long does it take?

​

The entire appointment takes about 2 1/2 hours.

Does it hurt?

We numb with a topical anesthetic for 20 minutes before the procedure. A second topical anesthetic is used during the procedure. You should be pretty comfortable the whole time.
