Eyebrow microblading in London

So, you have heard about microblading and fancy ditching the pencil for an easier, more natural-looking brow. After booking your appointment and discussing any concerns with your technician, it's time to prepare for your treatment. See Is Microblading Right for You?

There are several rules to follow to make sure your microblading experience is positive and you get the results you're looking for. Before your appointment, it's important that you:

• 1. Don't drink alcohol for 24-48 hours or don't drink coffee for at least two hours before
• 2. Don’t take aspirin or ibuprofen for 48 hours before - and of course, get permission from your doctor to do so

What to expect from your treatment

Shape
Firstly, your stylist will discuss which shape you'd like for your brows and what best suits you. If you haven't had much luck with drawing your ideal shape, or your eyebrows have suffered over-plucking, your stylist will help. They will craft a new brow shape using conventional makeup - based on your face structure. Your ideal shape will be fashioned using a specialised protractor-like tool - and you will have the final say on their recommendation.

Tweezing
Before any microblading can take place, your stylist will tweeze your eyebrows to remove any excess hairs that lay beyond your new brow shape. If you are trying to preserve your brow hairs we can work with that as well.

Numbing
Although microblading isn't a painful process, it can cause some discomfort, so numbing cream is used to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. The cream is applied to your eyebrows and the surrounding area and left for up to 15 minutes. During this time, you can discuss which colour/shade you'd prefer and what your stylist recommends.

Treatment
As with having your eyebrows tinted, the initial colour will appear a bit darker than expected immediately after microblading. However, this will fade to your desired colour within 10 days.
