What is Microblading?
Microblading is a safe and effective form of semi permanent make up, that lasts up to 2 years. It is carried out by using a very fine, disposable blade to deposit hypo-allergenic pigment into the deep layers of the skin, creating a hair stroke effect.
Microblading is perfect for those who want to enhance, fully reconstruct, define, cover gaps or fill in over plucked brows. Also ideal for those who want to add a slight arch, length or more definition to their brows.
What are Powder/Ombre Brows?
Ombre or Powder brows is a form of semi permanent makeup where pigment is deposited under the surface of the skin using a rotary machine. It is the application of thousands of tiny dots of colour pigment, gradually building up colour and a defined shape. The colour transition from lighter to darker, creates the ombre effect.
This technique creates a soft, powdery, airbrushed look ideal for those who want a bolder brow or have brows and want a more defined base colour. Also really good for cover ups or corrections.
What are Combination/Hybrid Brows?
Combination or Hybrid Brows are a semi permanent make up technique that combines manual Microblading hair strokes with the Ombre/Powder technique. This method allows the technician to create the illusion of both natural brow hairs with definition and depth using the shading technique from the Ombre effect. Great for those who want slightly more definition than a natural microblading look.
What happens during the procedure?
Before your initial treatment, you will need to visit the salon for a thorough consultation where we carry out a patch test and fill out a medical questionaire with you. Patch tests need to be carried out at least 2 days prior to your procedure. A £50 deposit will then be required to secure your treatment, which is redeemable against the cost of your procedure.
Your procedure appointment will consist of a thorough consultation to determine shape, colour, thickness and general expectations. The procedure will then be carried out to the highest standards as you would expect from The Beauty Studio. Our Microblading Technician (Amy) will advise on aftercare and maintenance following your procedure to maximise the healing and longevity of your semi permanent makeup treatment.
Once your brows have healed about 6 weeks after your initial treatment, you will need to come back for a colour touch up to thoroughly perfect your new brows. This is free of charge (this second treatment must be taken within 3 months of the initial treatment).
To enable correct healing of your brows - 2 weeks before your treatment DO NOT use Retinol or AHAs, have your brows tinted or have any sun exposure or sunbeds.
24 hours before your treatment DO NOT have any Aspirin, Ibuprofen or alcohol and on the day of your treatment no caffeine.
