FAQ's
1. What is microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo technique that uses fine, hair-like strokes to fill in, reshape, or define your eyebrows. The process involves depositing pigment into the skin to create a natural, fuller look.
2. How long does microblading last?
Microblading typically lasts between 12 to 18 months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you take care of your eyebrows. Regular touch-ups are recommended to maintain the look.
3. Does microblading hurt?
Most people experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. A numbing cream is applied to the area to help minimize pain, making the process relatively comfortable. Some clients report feeling slight pressure or a scratchy sensation.
6. How long does a microblading session take?

8. Can I wear makeup after microblading?
You should avoid wearing makeup on the eyebrow area for at least 7-10 days after the procedure to prevent infection and allow the area to heal properly. After the healing period, you can wear makeup as usual, but it’s best to avoid putting makeup on the brows.
9. Can I go swimming after microblading?
It's important to avoid swimming, especially in chlorinated water, for at least 2 weeks after your appointment. This helps avoid irritation and ensures proper healing.
