What is the difference between Microblading & Ombré Brows
Microblading: using a manual hand held tool to create hair like strokes. Basically making little paper cuts & depositing pigment into them. Only for dry, non sensitive skin.
Ombré: using an automatic tool to shade the pigment into your skin. Less abrasive & will heal natural & like a tint on your skin. More universal & the best option for most people, but especially those who have oily, thin, or sensitive skin.
They both are semi-permanent & last a very long time. Annual touch ups will happen every 1-3 years depending on how your skin retains the pigment.

Q: How do you determine the color?
A: I choose what color pigment to use, based off the color of your complexion, eyebrows, & hair.
Q: I just hit the 2 week mark & I feel like my eyebrows are gone & have faded a lot. Did I do something wrong?
A: You did not do anything wrong! That is completely normal! That is because the skin cell turnover hasn't fully completed its cycle yet. So yes, although you are healed & can resume your regular skincare routine, exercise, and go swimming; just keep in mind that they are not fully healed. You will see the full result 28-30 days post appointment.
