Microblading is a premium semi-permanent tattooing technique designed to create the illusion of fuller, more defined eyebrows. Unlike traditional tattoos, this process uses a specialized hand tool with ultra-fine needles to deposit pigment into the upper layers of the skin.

What to Expect

• The Technique: Your technician manually draws individual, crisp "hair strokes" that mimic the natural direction and growth pattern of your existing brow hair.

• Customization: Each session includes a mapping process where we measure your facial proportions to ensure your new arches are perfectly symmetrical and tailored to your bone structure.

• Durability: Results typically last between 12 to 18 months, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.

• The Process: A standard appointment takes about 2–3 hours, including consultation, numbing, mapping, and the procedure itself.

Key Benefits

• Waterproof & Smudge-proof: Ideal for active lifestyles, swimming, or humid weather.

• Time-Saving: Eliminates the need for daily brow pencils, gels, or powders.

• Natural Appearance: Great for filling in sparse areas, correcting over-plucked brows, or defining a faint arch.

Microblading is often described as an "emotional rollercoaster." Because it is a semi-permanent procedure that involves small incisions, your brows will go through several distinct (and sometimes alarming) phases before they reach their final look.

Here is the breakdown of what to expect from the appointment through the first month.

1. The Appointment (2–3 Hours)

• Consultation & Mapping: This is the most important part. Your artist measures your facial features to "map" the perfect symmetry. You’ll approve the shape before any pigment is applied.

• Numbing: A topical cream is applied for 20–30 minutes to ensure you're comfortable.

• The Procedure: You’ll hear a "scratching" sound, but with numbing, it usually feels like light pressure or a dull scratch.

• Immediate Result: You’ll walk out with bold, crisp, and beautiful brows.

Prep Your Canvas

To get that flawless, "filtered" skin finish, a little bit of prep goes a long way! Follow these steps to ensure your makeup sits perfectly and stays locked in all night.

• Cleanse & Exfoliate: Arrive with a freshly cleansed face. We recommend a gentle exfoliation 2-3 days before your booking. This removes dead skin cells so your foundation looks smooth rather than patchy.

• ⚠️ The "No-Go" Zone (Downtime): * Facials & Peels: Avoid any professional facials, chemical peels, or intensive acid treatments (like AHAs/BHAs) at least 7 days prior. These can cause unexpected peeling or sensitivity that prevents makeup from adhering properly.

  • Brows & Waxing: Complete any facial waxing or brow threading at least 48 hours before to allow redness and skin sensitivity to calm down.

  • Lash Lifts: If you are getting a lash lift, please ensure it is done at least 3 days before your formal. Freshly lifted lashes can sometimes be tricky for strip-lash application if the perming solution is still settling.

• Hydrate: Drink plenty of water! Hydrated skin is the secret to that viral "glow from within."

• Moisturise: Apply your usual lightweight moisturiser on the morning of your appointment, but avoid heavy face oils or new active serums.

• The "Fit": Wear a button-down shirt or a robe so you can change into your formal dress without smudging your face or messing up your hair.

The Healing Timeline

Days 1–3: The "I Love Them" Phase

Your brows look sharp and perfect. However, they will start to look 30–50% darker and bolder than the final result as the pigment oxidizes. The area may feel like a mild sunburn.

Days 4–7: The "I Hate Them" Phase (The Itch & Flake)

This is the hardest part. As the skin heals, it will begin to flake or peel.

• The Itch: It will be very tempting to scratch. Don't.

• The Flakes: Your brows may look "crusty" or patchy. Resist the urge to pick at the flakes, or you will pull the pigment out of your skin.

Days 8–14: The "Where Did They Go?" Phase (The Ghosting)

After the flaking stops, your brows might look incredibly light—almost like the pigment disappeared entirely. Don't panic; this is "ghosting." Your skin has thickened over the pigment as it heals, temporarily masking the color.

Days 15–30: The "They’re Back!" Phase

The skin finishes its regeneration cycle, and the pigment "settles" back to the surface. The color will soften into its final, natural-looking shade.

3. The Golden Rules of Aftercare

To get the best results, you must follow these "don'ts" for at least 10 days:

• No Water: Keep them dry (careful in the shower!).

• No Sweat: Skip the gym; sweat contains salt that can blur the hair strokes.

• No Sun: UV rays will fade the pigment before it has a chance to set.

• No Makeup: Keep all products (except the provided healing balm) off the brow area.

4. The Touch-Up (6–8 Weeks Later)

Microblading is a two-step process. At your touch-up, your artist will fill in any spots where the pigment didn't take and perfect the shade. Your brows aren't truly "finished" until after this second session.
