Microblading (also known as Eyebrow Embroidery , Feather Brows or Hair-stroke Eyebrows) is a semi-permanent eyebrow procedure that is carried out by a qualified cosmetic tattoo artist. It involves using a specialized manual hand-tool that holds a disposable microblade and is pulled gently across the skin, leaving behind individual tiny hair strokes that mimic your own natural eyebrow hairs. Microblading is a technique that yields extremely natural looking brows and is best for clients that want hyper-realistic results or are afraid of having "bolder" eyebrows.

When you arrive, you will have an initial consultation with your artist. The consultation involves the explanation of the procedure, assessing your current eyebrows and skin type as well as establishing your desired shape. You will then be asked to fill out an informed consent form. This is to collect your medical history, contact details and to further explain the procedure. A topical anesthetic will be applied to your skin and left to sit for approximately 60 minutes to ensure a pain-free process. Once the anesthetic has come off, your natural eyebrows will be shaped . ( We take care not remove your own hairs) and a new shape is meticulously mapped out according to your facial features and will be drawn on with a waterproof pencil. This shape is then tweaked until approved by you. The microblading takes place after this, and generally takes around 30 - 45 minutes to perform. You will then leave with a touch-up appointment date , aftercare gift pack (including instructions, ointment and a step-by -step of the healing process) and an amazing new set of eyebrows.

Microblading is the original hairstroke brows, these strokes closely mimic real brow hair and yield a very realistic and natural look. These brows generally last around 12-24 months. Microshading is a powdery effect that is often used in conjunction with microblading. We can completely control how bold or dark you would like your microshading and do anything from a full bodied "filled in" look or a natural shade for volume and density. Sometimes shading onto of microblading is necessary to disguise any visible gaps or asymmetries with the brows. These brows generally last around 12-24 months. Jess’s Signature Ombre - These brows are our popular “Instagram Bold Brows” . The results are usually a more dramatic brow effect that resembles a makeup look. Signature brows are done by doing a fully microbladed brow with strokes that are left "clean" in the front and a dark ombre shade throughout the rest of the brow. These brows generally last around 12-24 months. Powder Brows ,also known as machine brows, are a modernised version of traditional permanent makeup brows. This technique is extremely popular among people with oily or sensitive skin or as cover up’s and corrections over old permanent makeup/ microblading. Powder Brows are more permanent ( 2 - 3 Years) and defined than Microblading. They are usually done in an ombre style (softer fronts to more solid tails).

Treatment Day 2 Hours after procedure, gently wash brows with provided soap, rinse and pat dry with cotton pads. Apply a very thin layer of ointment with a clean earbud. Repeat the above every 2 hours on the first day only to keep the wound clean and avoid scab formation. If your brows were done late in the afternoon, please cover them with a thick layer of ointment overnight and wash off in the morning. Apply cream 10 minutes after this. Washing your brows is only allowed on the first day of treatment. For The Next 10 - 14 Days Avoid wetting your eyebrows at all.
