What is Microblading?
Microblading is a manual method which does not use a normal permanent makeup machine. Manual Micro-stroking, sometimes referred to as Microblading, Brow Micropigmentation, Manual Technique, Hand Method Eyebrow Permanent Makeup, Feather Brows, 3D-6D Brows, Cosmetic Tattooing and Eyebrow Embroidery originated in Asia and has become very popular in in the last few years all across the world.
Microblading is done by using a unique hand instrument with a small row of very fine needles that deposit pigment into the dermis with slicing, feathering strokes. The pigment is implanted in the basal membrane, which divides the epidermis from the Dermis layer of the skin. This creates very crisp, fine hair strokes that don't blur after healing like you would experience with a traditional permanent makeup machine. What is Nano Brow? Contrary to Microblading, Nano Brows are hair stokes created with machine vs a hand held tool. Both implement pigment into the skin using the same non-permanent pigments but with different methods. Machine Nano Hairstrokes are a great alternative that could potentially cause less trauma to the skin on women over the age of 40 as well as anyone with more sensitive skin. It ranges from being performed with a single needle tools, to multiple. As the artist, Taylor (myself) will access your skin, brows, ask you (my client) about your lifestyle to help chose which PMU brow method is right for you during the consultation half of your appointment. No worries if you are unsure! I will be there to help.
What is the typical cost for Microblading and Nano Brows?
Remember you get what you pay for! Competitors may charge differently, but this requires a higher price tag, brows frame the face so it's critical they are perfect.

How long does it last?
Everyone is different; it can last 1-3+ years. We suggest yearly touch-ups; however, some clients desire a touch-up every 6-12 months while other clients won’t return for a touch-up until year 2 or 3.
Main factors in how long results last depend on age, skin type and sun exposure.
Does it hurt?
This is designed to be a gentle procedure with minimal discomfort. The degree of discomfort will depend on several factors, such as if you opt for anesthetics, location of the treatment, and your pain threshold. In the beginning you may feel a scratching feeling while we are marking the shape and design of the brow. A numbing cream is then applied which is absorbed into the bloodstream within a few seconds. Once the cream has absorbed, you will have very little feeling and in most cases no feeling at all.
Non-Candidates for PMU:
Over that age of 60 (Dependent on the individual, will be determined after skin evaluation) Previous tatttoo/microblading on brow area (We need to schedule a consultation) Have recieved Covid-10 Vaccine (need to wait 2 weeks before/after vaccine) Pregnancy or nursing Diabetic patients Skin diseases Directly after Botox treatment (after 2 weeks is allowed) Use of Accutane, Isoltretinoin, or other retinoids (after 6 months is allowed) If you have a pacemaker, this manual method can be used, but any machine use is not allowed.

Problem skin broken capillaries Acne Moles Keratosis Very dry or peeling skin Problem skin Initial Consultation:
We provide free consultations if needed. The consultation will be approximately 20-30 minutes; this will not be your procedure day unless previously agreed upon. If you require a Patch Test, it must be completed 48 hours before your treatment, or you can sign a waiver on the day of your treatment. We take a photo of you so we can study the symmetry of your features. No one is exactly the same, and what we see as your ideal brow might not be what you want, we want to achieve your perfect brow. Our goal is to obtain symmetry and communicate realistic expectations. Please remember we can't make you look like your favorite celebrity; we are brow artists not plastic surgeons. Miracle beautiful brows that are true to YOU we can do. Be your own beautiful! Before the Treatment:
**If any of these items occur, we will be forced to cancel your appointment and you will be charged a $250 fee**
DO NOT take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E, Fish Oil or Ibuprofen 48 hours before. DO NOT drink caffeine, alcohol or energy drinks on the day of treatment!! AND 1 day before treatment. ** This is EXTREMELY important ***These substances thin the blood, which will alter pigment color, cause discomfort/excessive bleeding and result in poor results. If you tint your brows, do it 1-2 weeks prior to treatment Do not tan or sunbathe 1 week before treatment. You must complete any waxing at least 2 days before the treatment. Any and all Botox is recommended to be done 4 weeks prior to treatment. No chemical peels, dermabrasion, mesotherapy or any other intense treatments. This will cause skin cells to rejuvenate faster which will result in skin irritation. We recommend any of these to be done 2-3 weeks before permanent makeup brows. If you do not tell us you've had previous work on your brows (ie... microblading, tattooing, laser, removal, etc...) your appointment may be cancelled and a fee of $250 will be charged. Fix and/or wash your hair before the treatment. You will not be able to have direct contact with water on the brow area for 10days. You may still shower and wash your hair- I will explain how to do so at our appointment. On the Treatment Day:
Please arrive least 10 minutes before your appointment. Late arrival will NOT be accepted, please call us; it can lead to your treatment being postponed to another day. You will forfeit your deposit. If you are late on the day of your touch up, you will incur a $100 fee to rebook the touch up. We appreciate you contacting us when you are running late due to unforeseen circumstances, however, we run on a very tight schedule and cannot accept tardy clients. At the start of your appointment we clean your brow area with sterile, hygienic pads and draw the brow form on to your skin. A photo will be taken, often times a photo will show defects or issues that may need to be addressed. You will approve the brow shape before we continue on with numbing. We use a disposable microblading tool and disposable needles during your procedure. We use EU Regulated Permanent Makeup high quality pigments, specially manufactured for microblading. Treatment Steps (procedure usually takes approximately 2-3 hours):
Consultation discussing treatment, shape and pigment color. Shape is drawn with a soft pencil.
Pigment is applied with a manual tool/and or machine using our technique. Secondary numbing will be applied during the session after passes. Pigment is left to absorb and work its magic! We clean the area. Take a look at your new, gorgeous brows! After the Treatment
Aftercare will be discussed. Touch-up appointment will be scheduled 5-12 weeks from the date of initial treatment. *If touch-up appointment is not completed within 5-12 weeks from the initial brow treatment, price may vary .
