If you have additional questions you would like to ask before booking your appointment, please see our FAQ or Ask Emme.

 

Microblading is a semi-permanent makeup technique used to enhance eyebrows. It’s perfect for medical conditions, thin hair growth, and busy professionals that result gives you full, balanced, and natural-looking eyebrows. 

Creating small lines in the skin with a hand tool and ink. The result is an eyebrow tattoo that looks like hair strokes. This technique shows more of the skin than other brow techniques. The look is more subtle.

  • Best for people with tight skin and small pores

  • Better for people with dry to normal skin

  • This technique fades the fastest

  • More trauma to the skin over time. Touch-ups should be minimal and spread out over time.

Although the benefits of microblading are endless, here are a few to consider.

 
 
 

Q&A

 

  • Are you certified and licensed to operate?

    Yes! Emme Brow & Aesthetics is a licensed tattoo studio and I am a certified permanent makeup artists. I am a practicing, Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and licensed to perform all aesthetic injections. All artists have received extensive training and certification in Blood Borne Pathogens as deemed necessary for tattoo artists by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. It’s crucial that you choose not only a certified permanent makeup artist, but also a licensed one to ensure your health is protected!

  • Does the permanent make-up procedure hurt?

    Every client is different and pain tolerance varies by client. Most clients describe the pain level as minimal and find tweezing and threading more uncomfortable. At Emme Brow & Aesthetics, I use the best topical lidocaine available to minimize discomfort. This is a still a tattoo. You will typically feel some discomfort. Based on experience, we would describe the feeling a slight burning, astringent like sensation. Very tolerable and worth it!

  • How long does it take?

    The process takes approximately 2-3 hours from the moment you walk in the door to completion of your beautiful new brows. The first hour or so is spent designing your new brows and numbing the area. There is no downtime!

    Occasionally, some clients will have some slight redness and swelling around the area which is very normal and will subside within a couple of hours. Most clients go on about their normal day when they leave their appointment.

 

  • Is Microblading painful?

    The service can be a little uncomfortable for those who are more sensitive. However, there is an anesthetic applied to keep this to a minimum to where it is completely tolerable.

  • What is the healing process?

    Some swelling and tenderness after the procedure is normal and may last a day or so, depending on the client. Your new brows will appear DARKER, WIDER, AND SHARPER than the way they will heal. This is especially true for days 2-5. This is harder for some clients than others. Clients who rarely wear makeup may find that they don't like how their brows look on these days because they are too intense. That's normal! The pigment is sitting on top of the skin and has not yet settled into your face.

    As your skin heals over the tattoo, your brows lighten and soften. This process takes about 7 days or so on average. It’s important to follow all aftercare instructions and to attend the required follow-up appointment to make the finishing touches to your new brows!

    Your healing is only about 50% in our control. Once you leave it's up to you to be diligent about following the instructions you're given to get the best result! And no matter how great they look, it's important to come for your touch-up appointment to get the final result. This is a 2-step process, so even if you have some things you want to tweak after the first appointment, no worries! We will continue to work on your brows at your touch-up.

  • How long does it last?

    This will vary by client. If aftercare instructions are followed diligently, your new brows will last approximately 12-24 months on average before they're mostly faded; 18 months is average. For some people, their brows will last even longer, and some less. Certain factors such as sun exposure and tanning beds, getting chemical peels, oily skin type, bleeding, etc., will affect whether your brows will last on the higher or lower end of the expected 12-18 months. We recommend one touch up per year to keep them fresh. Coming more often increases the risk for scar tissue or causing your brows to look unnatural. Will it look natural? Absolutely! The techniques used at Emme Brow creates realistic, simulated hair strokes and/or powder fill that looks just like a real eyebrow! Your brows can be as big and bold or as soft and subtle as you like! What if my brows are fading faster than I’d like? We will revisit aftercare and lifestyle to make sure that is not the issue. If not, it’s likely that you need to go darker and fuller at your touch up, and/or you are ready for a more full coverage, longer-lasting technique like powder brows. What if I have concerns about my brows after they heal? Complete customer satisfaction is our goal! If you have concerns about your brows after they've healed, please call right away so we can discuss! I am here to help.
