microblading
Also known as feather-touch brows, this is a two-step process and the most natural form of eyebrow tattooing. Fine “hair-like” strokes are tattooed into the skin behind existing hair with a manual tool to create definition and fill in the gaps to give the illusion of a fuller brow.
This treatment is also semi-permanent and lasts anywhere from 12-18 months. A refresh once a year is recommended to keep them looking fresh.
Please be aware that you will need both appointments to complete your treatment.

At your first appointment, we will talk with you in-depth about the colour, shape, expectation and healing.
We will discuss the best options to suit your face shape and features. Once we are happy with this, the numbing cream is applied to the brows and we can start the procedure.

Two forms of topical anesthetic are used for your comfort. The pain threshold varies for each individual. Some clients may experience slight discomfort but it is very mild.

This depends on a few variables such as when the tattoo was last done, how much it’s faded if we need to change the shape of the tattoo needs laser removal before we can work over it etc.
This is evaluated by each individual to decide if that’s something we are able to do.
