wake up with brows

What can I expect at my first appointment? During your first session, you will receive a consultation where we will go over the procedure and discuss your brow goals. Next we will map and outline your brows to aid in producing a visualization of the final result. I will work to design a shape that suits your individual facial features. After agreeing upon a shape and making sure you are satisfied, we proceed with the appointment. I’ll never push you to complete the service if you aren't feeling comfortable or not 100% certain on moving forward. However, clients are responsible for 100% of the service amount if they decide not to move forward with the appointment. Do I need a touch up appointment? Absolutely! Touch ups are required for the best results. This follow up procedure is crucial for longevity of your permanent makeup and to make any adjustments if necessary. All follow-up appointments are scheduled between 6-12 weeks after the initial appointment. This ensures that brows are fully healed from the initial procedure. Going back into the skin before this time can result in scarring. While I suggest booking between 6-12 weeks after your initial appointment, you have until 6 months to make your follow-up appointment. Anything booked beyond 6 months will be treated and charged as a new service. When should I book my refresher appointment? We recommend that all refresher appointments be done at least 18 months after your touch-up appointment. Brows must fade between 40-50% in order to be serviced. I would rather you wait until your brows have significantly faded and reach out to me with pictures to see if you are ready to book. Otherwise, I will have to push your appointment out if you arrive and they’re not significantly faded. If the pigment hasn’t faded significantly and I push additional pigment into the skin, it will result in blotchiness and unflattering eyebrows for years to come. Products are more advanced than they were ten years ago, so there's no saying just how long they'll last, but if you take good care of your brows and keep up the refresher appointments they should look great even after several years! Does it hurt? Most people say it's not that bad! Both prior and during the procedure, I apply topical numbing creams to the area. This greatly aids in any discomfort you may feel! What products do you use? Here is the list of products I use. Feel free to look up the products for additional ingredient details. - I use the Brow Daddy pigment collection. - All of the needles/blades I use are stainless steel & single use only. - Before and during the procedure, I use Zensa 5% Lidocaine primary numbing cream. After the procedure, I apply Bowler Esthetics Comfort Candy secondary numbing solution. - Before, during, and for aftercare, I use Bowler Candy Cleanse Cleanser. -For aftercare, you are provided with either Bowler Permanent Makeup Aftercare Balm or Lotion What can I expect after my Microblading Appointment? While at first your brows may appear almost perfect, this will change. Please be aware of the healing stages to avoid stressing about your brows. Your brows will go through several stages where they will become noticeably darker, then will become scabbed and itchy, and finally will almost disappear (ghosting stage), before finally healing to 60-80% of their original depth. After your Microblading procedure, your eyebrows may appear red or swollen, but this typically subsides within 24 hours. Between Day 2-5, the pigment will oxidize, making the brows look darker and redder. This is normal. In most cases, the pigment will fade by 20-40% once fully healed. Between Days 5-10, you will develop scabs and or flakes in the brow area and they might become very itchy. This too is normal. Do not pick at the area, as you could remove pigment and cause scarring! Until fully healed, you may see spots or patches on your eyebrows. After this flaking stage is complete, your brows will become very light and almost disappear (the ghosting stage) Don’t fret! Within the next 4-6 weeks, the pigment will darken and return to the skin. It will take 4-6 weeks for your brows to heal completely. You will be able to address any pigment that does not return at your follow-up appointment. At that point, I will evaluate your retention, touch up any sparse areas, and make color adjustments if necessary to give you flawless brows that will last up to 36 months. Can I book an appointment if I've previously had my brows done? At this time, I am not offering services to those with previous work done elsewhere. However, I’d be happy to provide recommendations on removal services if you're unhappy with your current results.
