Q: What if I have previously microbladed or tattooed eyebrows?
A: If you have previously microbladed or tattooed brows you will need to get pre-approval by sending me a clear photo of your brows before booking an appointment via email (taylored.pmu@yahoo.com or text 5869940158) Pigment must be 50% faded or barley noticeable.
if your previous work is too saturated, uneven or large, tattoo removal may be recommended before we begin any correction/cover-up work.
*note: If your brows are able to be worked on, there are no 100% guarantees on how they will heal. Having previous work means retention is unpredictable & can possibly result in additional touch ups. I cannot undo what has already been done, but I can do my very best to help you as much as I can! *
Q: What if I have Oily skin?
A: Thats okay! Oily skin types can absolutely still receive any of the services. however, your best options for retention will be microblading + shading or powder brows.
Q: What service should I get?
A: I know it can be a bit overwhelming & you might be having a hard time picking between all the options. So, Ive provided a section called “Services” with pictures & descriptions of each one that will hopefully help guide you to what you want & need.
*Reminder: We can always add, we can’t take away! so starting with something you’re way more comfortable with & building your way up is always recommended and always worth it! We can also go over the best option together at your appointment.*
Q: How many touch ups will I need?
A: Normally a 4-8 week touch up is required after your initial appointment & then yearly color boosts are recommended. Sometimes people may need additional touch ups in between, depending on their skins retention, aftercare process, lifestyle & personal preference.
Q: Is it okay if i’m pregnant or Breastfeeding?
A: I do NOT microblade on anyone who is currently pregnant or breastfeeding. But I’ll happily take you when you’re all done!
*Lamination & tinting are alternative services for you*
Q: Does it hurt?
A: Everyones pain tolerance differs! I do use 2 topical numbing agents to keep you nice and comfortable the entire time! I use 8% Lidocaine with a 5% Lidocaine + Epinephrine mix.
Q: What does the first appointment involve?
A: At your first appointment we will go over all the brow things! We’ll start by going over your medical history form that you filled out prior to your appointment & we will talk all about your brow goals.
I’ll then take some before photos & start measuring and drawing out your new shape! making sure we create the perfect shape custom to your liking and that fits your bone structure.
We’ll go over it together and make any adjustments necessary! We won’t start unless you’ve 100% approve of the vision & love the new shape <3 (this may also be the most intimidating part)
After we get your new shape dialed in, i’ll clean up any hairs outside the new shape with a tiny razor. I’ll then prep you for numbing by quickly plucking through your brows with my hand tool, then immediately after ill apply the lidocaine & let sit for 15 minutes.
Before we get into the brow magic, we will go over color together & then start!
After the microblading is completed, we will go over all the do’s and don'ts with aftercare and exactly what to expect with healing!
Vuala! you have the brows you’ve always dreamed of!
Q: Why do I need a touch up?
A: Everyones skin heals & absorbs pigment differently, so a 4-8 week touch up is required to perfect any hair strokes, shape or color to achieve the desired look you are going for.
