FAQ

WHAT IS MICROBLADING?

Microblading is a technique where fine lines are scratched into the surface of the skin, and pigment embedded. The strokes accurately replicate hair (as in a brow or hairline). Results can last from six to 12 months, depending on a variety of factors such as color of pigment, skin type, and lifestyle.

WHAT IS PERMANENT MAKEUP?

Permanent makeup are treatments that replicate perfectly applied conventional makeup, most frequently on the brows, and hairline. This is done by inserting cosmetic pigments into the dermis layer of the skin. Also known as Microblading, Micro-Pigmentation, Brow Embroidery, and Cosmetic Tattooing.

HOW LONG DOES THE RESULT LAST?

For brows, up to 12 months. Hair color, skin type, after-care, and lifestyle also affect longevity of the results. Occasional touch-ups are a way to refresh the results. Done correctly, the treatments do not change color and fade naturally away with time. For areas such as brows, this allows future flexibility with shape, as standards of beauty change.

IS IT PAINFUL?

We use effective numbing creams that are FDA approved. On a scale of 1 to 10 with “1” being no discomfort, clients often experience between a 2 and 3 with the Brow treatment. Other factors such as menstrual cycles also affect level of sensitivity.

IS IT SAFE?

All our pigments are cosmetic grade, meaning that they are sterilized and purified for cosmetic use. The ingredients used have been approved by the FDA for cosmetic use. Be wary of products that have not met safety standards, including those that contain “vegetable dyes” that are unstable and may change color after time. In addition, all our tools are single-use and discarded after the treatment. Our specialists are highly trained and experienced professionals.

WHAT IS BROW RESCUE?

It is our signature treatment, where we create your brow strand-by-strand using lifelike strokes applied directly onto the skin, using a technique called Microblading. The treatment replaces eyebrow pencils, and assures perfectly shaped and balanced brows all-day, everyday. The Brow lasts up to 12 months, fading gradually without any discoloration.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A BROW CONSULTATION?

Brow, hair grade and color is analyzed, and the desired shape is drawn on with a specialized pencil. We will draw each strand to create a symmetrical, natural-looking brow that is custom-made for your bone structure, giving you the chance to see how dramatically new brows change your face. Once you are satisfied with the shape and thickness, the therapist consults with you on color— we mix and match with the hue to ensure we get a shade that is closest to your natural hair color . We will also discuss the procedure, the after-care, how long it takes the skin to heal, and how to ensure the best results. Consultations at Hair Solutions are always free with no obligation to proceed with the treatment.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A BROW TREATMENT?

The technician will create your brow by hand, strand by strand. A topical numbing cream is applied that stays on for about 20 minutes, and then a special tool is used to make small, hair-shaped incisions in the skin underneath the brow– this technique is also known as Microblading. The shallow cuts are filled with highest-grade pharmaceutical pigments selected to match or darken arches. The treatment takes about two hours, with enough time to assess each step of the way.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY TIME?

There is no downtime, however the brow will take about one week to fully heal. The brow will soften in color by up to 40-50%. During this period, after-care procedures should be carefully followed.

WHAT IS THE AFTER CARE?

Apply our specially-made after-care Serum (for healing) and Cream (for protection) for the best results. Use a q-tip to apply to eyebrows. Do not pick at the brow when the color starts to peel. To be certain color is not compromised, please avoid the following for one week after treatment: sun exposure, saunas, excessive sweating, and brow makeup. Avoid the following for two weeks: swimming and facials.

WHAT IS THE PERFECTING SESSION?

The Perfecting Session, done within two months of the initial treatment, is extremely important to ensure perfect results. We use this session to set the shape and color, and make any small adjustments if needed.
