The Consultation

The first part of the process is a consultation. This is normally done as part of your initial treatment, but can be done separately if you prefer. My team and I will talk with you in great detail about the look you are trying to achieve and what we might recommend to you. This is very much a two-way conversation. We listen, we respond, we advise.  Once we have an idea of the look you are aiming for, we draw the brows on with a makeup pencil. These can be drawn on and adjusted 50 times if necessary! We will never begin the  process until you are completely happy with what they are going to look like.

 

Permanent Makeup Treatment

Using a micoblading Pen, we gently apply pigment to the skin using very fine needles. You should not feel any discomfort. We will always work with you at this stage, giving you breaks if you need them. The process normally takes about one hour, but it varies from person to person depending on your individual requirements. Immediately after a brow treatment you should expect the area to look 40-50% darker than the color you have chosen in consultation. This will start to fade after 3-4 days.

 

Ink & Arch Salon: Microblading Treatment

Using a state of the art microblading tool, tiny precision hair strokes are created by hand, mimicking the natural direction and lengths of your brows. Pigments are then implanted into the channels created by the microblades in the dermal layer of the skin. The sensation is similar to a little scratch but you should not feel any discomfort. As with the semi- permanent makeup treatment the area will look 40-50% darker than the color you have chosen in consultation, but this will fade within 3-4 days to reveal your chosen color. The treatment generally takes around 1 hour and will leave you with highly defined, ultra-realistic looking brows.

 

The Retouch

A second appointment is needed 4-12 weeks after your first treatment. This is usually a 30-60 minute appointment to add more pigment to the brow area. This is because as the area is healing, some parts may not ‘hold’ as well as others and you may have a few patches that need more color. This is completely normal and everyone heals differently. Whatever the case, we advise you always come back to clinic for your retouch.
