WHAT IS PERMANENT MAKEUP?

Permanent makeup is a form of cosmetic tattooing, almost the same as getting a typical tattoo.It mimics the look of freshly applied eyeliners, lips or lips liner, and eyebrow pencil shading.The techniques used for application is call micro pigmentation where the artist us a tattoo pen to apply designed that would resemble makeup.It result in enhanced facial features that would typically be done with temporary makeup.Furthermore, since the results can last up to 24 months, it enables to experience a high quality finish without the need for much maintenance.

​

WHAT IS SEMI-PERMANENT MAKEUP?
Semi-permanent makeup known as Permanent Makeup, treatments that replicate perfectly applied conventional makeup. This is done by inserting cosmetic pigments into the dermis layer of the skin. Also known as Permanent Make-up, Microblading, Micro-Pigmentation, Brow Embroidery, and Cosmetic Tattooing.

​

WHAT IS MICROBLADING PROCEDURE AND HOW IS IT PERFORMED?

In Asia, Microblading is also known as eyebrow embroidery also known as feather strokes in Europe and allows everyone to improve the appearance of his/her brows.  This cutting edge procedure is used to give realistic hair stroke effects to eyebrows, enabling a thicker and fuller appearance without the need to apply makeup on a daily basic.  Most common reasons why people turn to microblading are to change the shape of their brows, to improve definition, to add color and density, as well as to replace brows that have been lost through medical treatment or over plucking.

The procedure is done using a hand tool, with a prepacked, sterile, single use, specially designed blade made up of a group of needles use in a tattoo machine.  With appropriate amount of pressure, the skin is scored and the pigment is deposited underneath the epidermis (outermost layer of skin) to create the most natural finish to your eyebrows.

​

HOW LONG DOES THE RESULT LAST?

This varies from person to person because skin type, diet, genetics and environmental factors can all contribute to how long the pigments will be retained.  For instance, sun bed use and sun exposure have a bearing on the pigment retention, but this can be prevented with proper protection.

As a guide, it could be anything between one to five years before a new treatment is required, although refresher color boosts are recommended for maintenance during this time. Once the color starts to change you will know that you are ready for your refresher color boost.

We offer discounted color boost rates from 6 – 18 months after the initial treatment. It is important to remember that semi-permanent make-up is a “low” not a “no” maintenance treatment.

​

IS IT PAINFUL?
We use effective numbing creams that are FDA approved. On a scale of 1 to 10 with “1” being no discomfort, clients often experience between a 2 and 3 with the Bespoke Brow treatment. Other factors such as menstrual cycles also affect level of sensitivity.

​

IS IT SAFE?

My clients’s health and safety always come first, and that’s why we only use the highest quality and highest standard pigment available.They are 100% vegan, never tested on animals and free of heavy metals.

All of the pigments used are cosmetic grade, meaning that they are sterilized and purified for cosmetic use.The pigments used are exclusively mad for microblading and allow for an easy application with excellent color retention.All hand tools are using use only, come in a sterilize sealed package, and disposed after each client.

​

WILL MY BROWS LOOK FAKE?

No, not with the brow building method.  Every single stroke is made to mimic natural brow hair, and most of the time the results are hardly distinguishable.

​

CAN I HAVE THE PROCEDURE DONE IF I HAVE NO BROW HAIR?

Absolutely, this is a great option for those who suffer from Alopecia, Trichotillomania, or have been though Chemotherapy.Microblading can even correct past wax catastrophe, over tweezing, or the normal hair thinning that occurs post menopause.

​

CAN I HAVE THE PROCEDURE DONE IF I AM PREGNANT?

Unfortunately, this procedure is not suitable for those who are pregnant and/or breastfeeding.

​

WHAT IF I DON'T LIKE MY BROW AFTER THE PROCEDURE?

Please keep in mind that your brows will appear darker for the first couple weeks.Once they have healed, we can fix any minor imperfection during your 6 weeks touch up appointment.

As with all cosmetic procedures, individual should not make their choice lightly.I always recommend clients to do their research, understand the procedure and compare different artists’ work and portfolio before making their decision.I will do my best to shape the style the eyebrows to the clients’ satisfaction prior to the procedure.Every efforts will be made to achieve an even, perfect appearance, but please realize your faces are not perfectly symmetrical.Uneven appearance can be fixed during the touch up appointment.

There is a removal process, no guarantee, but it does generally give great results.

​

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A  CONSULTATION?
Brow hair grade and color is analyzed, and the desired shaper is drawn on with a specialized pencil. We will draw each strand to create a symmetrical, natural-looking brow that is custom-made for your bone structure, giving you the chance to see how dramatically new brows change your face. Once you are satisfied with the shape and thickness, the therapist consults with you on color— we mix and match with the hue to ensure we get a shade that is closest to your natural hair color . We will also discuss the procedure, the after-care, how long it takes the skin to heal, and how to ensure the best results. Consultations at are always free with no obligation to proceed with the treatment. 

​

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO PREPARE FOR MY APPOINTMENT?

Do not drink alcohol or caffeinated drinks before the procedure (at least 24 hours for alcohol)

Do not take Advil or other blood thinner such as Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E and/or Ibuprofen (unless medically necessary) 48-72 hours prior to your procedure.

Avoid excessive exercising the day of procedure, as this will open up pores.

No waxing, threading, or tinting 3 days prior to the procedure.

Recent tanning may affect the outcome of the healed color.

​

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A TREATMENT?
Brittany will create your brow by hand, strand by strand. A topical numbing cream is applied that stays on for about 20 minutes, and then a special tool is used to make small, hair-shaped incisions in the skin underneath the brow-- this technique is also known as Microblading. The shallow cuts are filled with highest-grade pharmaceutical pigments selected to match or darken arches. The treatment takes about two hours, with enough time to assess each step of the way.

​

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY TIME?  HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO HEAL?

There is no down time after procedure.It takes approximately 7 to 14 days for the brows to heal and about a month for the color to fully set in.

The brow areas will be slightly red after the procedure and color will appear very dark.This is normal for the procedure and part of the healing process.The color will fade up to 50% as it heals.In the following days, the brows will continue to be dark and you will notice slight cabbing.Please pick at the scabs as this may damage the skin and the outcome of the PMU area.The true color will reveal itself once healed.

​

WHAT IS THE PERFECTING SESSION? 
The Perfecting Session, done within two months of the initial treatment, is extremely important to ensure perfect results.  We use this session to set the shape and color, and make any small adjustments if needed.

​

CAN I GET MY PERFECTING/TOUCH UP APPOINTMENT SOONER THAN 4 WEEKS?

Touch up appointment should not be done earlier than 4 week after first appointment (procedure) as pigment color has not fully settled into the skin.Most important, this is to prevent scar damage, as the tissue requires time to completely heal.

​

IS TOUCH UP NECESSARY? HOW OFTEN?

Yes, a touch up appointment after 4 to 6 weeks is necessary as everyone heals differently and outcome may vary.Certain areas may not pick up during the first appointment and will need to be refilled.Pigment color may need to be adjusted; brow thickness and more strokes can be added.Individuals with oily skin often require a deeper shade during the touch up appointment as the oils tend to lighten the pigment.Most importantly, your brows will be refined to ensure they look perfect and retain the color for the whole year.

Since microblading pigments are not implant in to the skin as deep as traditional tattoos, the areas will naturally fade overtime.Microblading typically lasts 1 to 3 years, depends on skin type (normal, oily, dry…), ages.Skincare routine will also effect the lasting effect of the pigment, frequently tanning, using product with AHA or Glycolic Acid will fade faster as the skin resurface faster.Touch ups are recommended once every 12 to 18 months to keep the color fresh and the strokes crisp.Some clients like to keep them fresh looking and come in before 12 months mark while other wait to 18 months.
