  • WHAT IS MICROBLADING?
     

    Microblading is a form of permanent makeup where a small blade is used to create ultra fine thin lines throughout a persons brows, giving the illusion of a full, natural brow. Is it a semi-permanent procedure, with results lasting 1-2 years.

    Microblading is meant to be a natural enhancement, and to create the appearance of full, beautiful brows. It looks most natural on clients who have full brow hair, and are wanting to perfect their shape and add natural fullness. The more fine hair you have, the more natural it will appear. This is not an ideal service for those with little natural hair, hair that is patchy, or coarse hair.

  • WHAT IS COMBINATION BROW?


    A combination brow combines microblading strokes with machine shading. Like microblading, results typically last several years depending on your skin type.

    If you have naturally sparse brow hair or uneven brow growth, a combination brow is perfect for you! Soft shading blends out any unevenness in the growth and can give a more 3D result. It is also idea for those looking for a more defined or filled in brow. We can add as much or as little shading to give a variety of different looks!

    This is a beautiful look for all skin types (including oily/aging skin), and heals very soft and beautiful.

  • HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?


    Permanent makeup is designed to fade over time, but is still considered a tattoo. Factors such as skin type, lifestyle, age, metabolism, medications, and pigment color affect the longevity of the tattoo.  The sun and some kinds of lighting (tanning beds) can affect the rate at which these pigments are broken down.  Following the given aftercare instructions is critical to getting your best healed results, and touch-up your brows every 12-24 months (as needed). Touch-ups are normal and expected for permanent cosmetics. Picking the proper service for your skin type and following the proper aftercare will lead to beautiful results for years to come!

    *Please note that final results vary and CANNOT be guaranteed due to the nature of skin as it heals. A follow-up appointment is recommended 6-12 weeks after your initial session where we can assess your pigment retention and perfect your permanent makeup!

  • I’VE HAD MY BROWS DONE BEFORE, WILL YOU DO THEM?
     

    Anyone who has had their brows done previously by another artist please send me picture before booking an appointment.

    I want to give my clients the very best, and help create their dream brows. If I don’t think we can achieveh what you’re wanting with your existing work, I will give recommendations on how to help the ink fade more quickly or recommend a removal artist.

    Please email current photos of your brows, along with your goal photo to hpicazo@ymail.com before booking to make sure I am comfortable working over the existing work.

  • BROW LAMINATION 

     

    What is brow lamination? Brow lamination enhances the look of your natural brows giving them a fuller, thicker and fluffy look. This procedure is done with a perming solution, a neutralizer and a nourishing serum to set the eyebrow hairs in the desired position. For best outcome, brow lamination is paired with brow tinting and shaping. Results lasts from 4-8 weeks.

    How long does it last? Generally 4-8 weeks, could last up to 8 weeks with proper care.
