Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions are needed?
The initial procedure requires two sessions 6 weeks apart. The first session consists of a consultation, outlining the desired brow shape, and application. The 6 weeks in-between sessions will be necessary for the skin to heal. In the second session (perfecting session), a light application will be applied to perfect your desired brow results. The focus of the perfecting session is to bring back symmetry, adjust any imperfections, and create a general blend of pigment that lasts.
What factors will affect my semi-permanent makeup?
- An active lifestyle with swimming, constant sweating, and/or saunas may cause premature fading.
- Oily skin type
- Smoking

What should I expect during my appointment?
We start off with a discussion regarding your desired “brow goals”. We will then begin outlining one of your brows and will collaborate on the brow shape. Once we are both completely satisfied, both brows will be outlined and perfected using a surgical marker. This usually takes about 35 minutes. Next, we begin the microblading procedure.
