Microblading is a form of Semi-Permanent Makeup for the eyebrows whereby a manual tool, made up of a line of tiny needles, is used to apply pigment into the surface layer (the epidermis) of the skin. The aim is to create hyper-realistic beautifully shaped eyebrows. These are created by hair-fine strokes which are drawn following the natural growth of your hair. The chosen pigment will be a close match to your eyebrows or your natural hair colour.

Microblading is a 3 Step Procedure that consists of an initial Consultation Appointment, your actual Microblading Appointment, and a final Top Up appointment 4 - 6 weeks later.

Step 1: Consultation Appointment

Typically taking 30 minutes we will go through your desires, talk about what you can expect from both your initial appointment as well as your top up appointment. We will discuss the aftercare & healing process (you may find more info on this here). You will also get a chance to see my tools & products and discuss any concerns you may have.

I will check your eyebrows as well and advise what results can be achieved. If you are happy to go ahead a quick Patch Test will be performed to rule out an allergic reaction as much as possible to the products I use during the treatment. More information about Patch Tests you may find here.

To end we will find you a convenient time to book you in for your actual microblading appointment (£50 booking fee required), unless you have booked yourself in already.

Step 2: Microblading Appointment

Typically I schedule 3 full hours for the actual Microblading Treatment. We may not need this long, but perfection must not be rushed. Before you arrive...

Before you arrive.

I will ensure that everything is disinfected. This will include my tools such as my PhiBrow Compass, pencils, but also the couch, my chair, my Glamcor Professional LED light & my work surfaces.

I use disposable tools where possible and will offer for you to disinfect your hands as well on arrival.

Your Desired Look.

Next we will discuss your desired brow look; we will choose a colour pigment according to your natural brow colour, your skin tone and your eye & hair colour. I then commence with measuring & drawing on your tailored brow shape. It must be said that our faces are NOT perfectly symmetrical but I do try my very best to create as much symmetry as possible. In the industry we often like to say 'Brows are Sisters, not Twins'.

Brow Shaping

The shape of your eyebrows will be calculated according to the Golden Ratio (also known as Phi - 1.618) and face morphology.

For those who do not know about the Golden Ratio, it is a mathematical ratio linked to Italian Mathematician Fibonacci, which seems to appear recurrently in nature, architecture, etc & which we perceive as 'Beautiful'. The geek in me really urges you to give this a google as it is fascinating stuff.

To help with my calculations I will use my PhiBrows Compass and draw the shape which is specifically suited to you. Pictures will be taken during the shaping part of the treatment to ensure symmetry.

Hair Fine Strokes

After your approval of the brow shape, I will commence applying semi-permanent pigment with a disposable microblading hand tool.

Anaesthetic

After the initial strokes have been placed an Anaesthetic will be used to make the treatment relatively pain free.

Pigment Mask

The pigment is worked into the hair fine strokes and a pigment mask is left on for a short while which will define your brows beautifully.

Aftercare Instructions

Your brows will go through a series of changes during the weeks after your Microblading appointment and I will ensure that you know exactly what will happen so you are prepared for it. Full detailed Aftercare Instructions will be given as well as a little Aftercare Pack. Next time I see you will be for that all important Top Up which will perfect your brows.

Step 3: Top Up Appointment

Microblading, like all forms of micropigmentation, is a process which in 95% of the time will require 2 sessions for the desired result to be achieved. I tend to compare it with having your nails done. The first coat looks good, but the second coat will just top it off and makes it look amazing!

The reason for this is because everybody heals differently and outcomes will vary. Certain areas my not have picked up during the first session and will need to be refilled. Pigment colour may need to be adjusted, brow thickness and more strokes can be added.

Most importantly, your Top Up Session is when we refine your brows to ensure they look perfect and retain the colour for as long as possible. Pre eXISTING CONDITIONS While most people are great candidates for Microblading, there are a few contraindications for this procedure to be aware of. If you have any questions regarding any of these please get in touch before booking your appointment.
