PERMANENT BROWS
PERMANENT BROW ENHANCEMENT
brows can be a two step process, the initial appointment is to create a baseline shape, see how your skin reacts and holds pigment, and color. I keep the initial appointment very conservative as this is a tattoo on your delicate face, you can add to it you can’t subtract.
I really like to keep my clients peace of mind at the forefront of everything I do, therefore less is more typically in this case.
is microblading right for me?
Contrary to what you may think, microblading is not for everyone and actually there are very few perfect candidates for microblading. An artist who tells you otherwise is probably more concerned about making money, than about creating long lasting and beautiful results.
Cece will connect with you before your appointment for a brief consultation if needed to decide which is the best option for you. We want to make sure that microblading is going to work well with your skin type, cosmetic history, and ideal brow shape. This is your investment, your artist is here to make sure that you invest wisely.
What is microblading
Microblading is an advanced brow technique that uses a superfine row of needles to deposit pigments into the skin to create thin, hair-like strokes. Microblading is ideal for creating a very full and realistic looking brow, it is becoming an increasingly popular method in permanent makeup.
What brow service is right for me?
Depending on what style you like best, its now time to decide what service is correct for you.
Microblading Only: Best for those with dry/normal skin and existing full brows. This service can not be performed on someone with oily skin, or someone with sparse brows, asymmetrical brows, or if you’re over the age of 35.
Fusion/Hybrid Brows: Works on all skin types, existing full brows, or sparse brows, can fix asymmetrical brows or missing gaps of hair. Can be as natural or as soft as client desires
Powder/Ombre: Best for those with combo/oily skin but works on every skin type. Great for clients who want a precise dramatic brow, but also can be designed for clients with a natural look in mind.
FAQS
How many brow procedure sessions are needed?
For optimal results, two sessions are needed with a 6-10 week window between the two appointments. At the touch up appointment we will assess the color retention, shape and make adjustments as necessary.
How long will the microblading procedure last?
While the inks cece uses are semi-permanent, you can expect the ink to fade gradually. Once the pigment has faded about 50% (usually around 1-1 & 1/2 years) it is recommended to come in for a touch up.
Fusion/Hybrid/Powder brows will always last longer than microblading only. The pigment usually faded about 50% over the course of 2 years or more, and if anything all you need is color boost anytime before that.
It is important to note that optimal and long lasting color is a direct result of how well your after care instructions are followed.
Do any of the brow procedures hurt?
Cece uses two types of topical antiseptic numbing creams prior to and during your procedure to ensure that the experience is as comfortable and painless as possible. Of course pain tolerances vary person to person and with that in mind your cece will take the absolute most care to assess your numbness and comfort level throughout the session.
Do I need to know anything before i book?
Absolutely! If you haven’t already please read the list of contraindications that prevent you from getting the service, and please send cece a list of medications you are taking if any.
Can anyone have permanent makeup?
Please be advised that microblading is a form of tattooing and there are some medical conditions and medications that prevent clients from getting the service. If you have any questions, please email or call. Occasionally, a doctor's note can be accepted for special cases.
Can I book it i have old eyebrows from another artist?
Cece doesn’t take many clients from other artists for microblading, most have to be covered up by doing a fusion/hybrid brow or powder brow, and results are never promised due to the factor of scar tissue. To find out what you are a candidate for text our business line three photos of your current brows with no makeup in them. These photos need to be taken in natural light using your front camera (not selfies camera) taken by someone else is preferred, side profile of brow, right profile of brow, front profile for symmetry close enough to the brows but not too close we can’t see the shape.
