Microblading & Microfeathering Steps

STEP 1: CONSULTATION

Karen’s artists go through a thorough consultation before starting the microblading procedure. We believe the consultation is the most important part of the procedure and makes up about 90% of it. During the consultation, we ask clients to show us any photos they like, don’t like and/or how they normally draw on their eyebrows to get an idea of the client’s unique style.

STEP 2: SHAPE

Our artist will then measure all the points of the client’s face with a ruler to ensure symmetry and precision. Once our artist finds what she needs to make a perfect pair of eyebrows, she begins designing  based on the client’s natural eyebrow hair and their desired look. This is all done with a pencil first to ensure that the shape can be adjusted, if needed, before the procedure starts.

STEP 3: COLOR

Once our client approves the shape drawn, a color is selected among the artist and client. Our artist will swatch colors on the forehead based on their natural eyebrow color and the client’s unique style.

STEP 4: NUMBING

We want to ensure your utmost comfort so we apply a topical numbing cream for 20 minutes before your procedure. We place it on top of the outline and cover it with saran wrap to seal in the numbing as much as possible.

STEP 5: MICROBLADING

Only after the client has approved the shape, color and the numbing is completed, then we proceed with the microblading procedure. That’s when the magic happens. Our artist will open a sterile needle in front of the client and start the microblading procedure. Pigment is then implanted into the skin in a form of hair strokes to give it the illusion of real fine hair. Numbing is applied throughout the procedure to ensure the utmost comfort.

 

STEP 6: REVEAL

Once the microblading procedure is complete, the big reveal happens. We show our client their new beautiful set of eyebrows and ask the client if they would like to make any adjustments before they leave. We pride ourselves on customer satisfaction so we always make sure you walk out the door happy.

 

STEP 7: TOUCH UP

All microblading and permanent makeup is a multisession process, meaning, touch ups are necessary. Think of this as the second coat of nail polish, the first one is alright, but the second one seals the deal. This session is done 1-3 months after the initial procedure. At this session, our client and artist will go over any concerns they may have had during the healing, fill in any areas that may have faded or simply go thicker or darker than the first time! We go conservative on the first session to ensure the client is satisfied so adding on the touch up is a piece of cake! Again, steps 1-4 are followed on the touch up and make sure the client leaves satisfied.
