You may NOT have this procedure if :

• You are under 18
• You get Keloid scars
• You are pregnant or breastfeeding
• You have been taking Accutane within 1 year
• Diabetic (consult your doctor)
• Have HIV or Hepatitis or any other viral infections and/or diseases
• Undergoing Chemotherapy (consult your doctor)
• Epilepsy
• A pacemaker or have major heart problems
• Had an organ transplant
• You generally don’t heal well and develop infections easily
• If your old eyebrow embroidery is too dark (please contact me to send a picture so I can see how faded your old eyebrow embroidery is)
• SKIN CONDITIONS (FACE ONLY)  as below is NOT RECOMMENDED for microblading
  • Skin Complications – If you have skin which is prone to complications with eczema, psoriasis, keratosis pilaris and dermatitis (i.e., your skin is constantly flaking, itching, or aggravated), chances are your skin is in a is in a constant state of unrest and shedding and is not suitable for semi permanent makeup embroidery session and therefore won’t hold the pigment well.
  • Chronic Conditions – The same goes for conditions like chronic acne and rosacea. The inherent nature of this type of skin causes easy bleeding, which once again means your skin will not retain the color very well and intended effect of microblading. Additionally, excessively oily skin can cause those tattooed hair strokes to blur together and give off an unwanted solid effect instead of a naturally feathered look.
   

Please be aware:

• Do NOT DRINK ALCOHOL or CAFFEINE  before the procedure (at least 24hrs for alcohol)
• Do NOT  TAKE Pain killer tablet such a Aspirin or Ibuprofen unless medically necessary, 48-72 hrs prior to your procedure. If you are taking blood thinning solution like Accutane, the treated area might easily bleeds and the outcome may not be as good as the expectation.
• If you have recently tanned, this will affect the outcome of the healed colour.
• If you’ve had laser removal of previous work done by someone else, the treated area has now more scar tissue and can affect the outcome of the result.  More treatments may be necessary to have the skin absorb the colour.
• Please note that you will be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle.
• Please come with a clean face and without makeup during the procedure.
• For brows -no waxing, threading or tinting 3 days before.
• For eyeliner – No lash extension during the procedure.
• For lips – pls apply lots of lip balm for at least 3 days prior the procedure to hydrate the lips well.

FOR EYEBROW EMBROIDERY:

If your natural eyebrows are dramatically uneven, you may have to give up a significant amount of  your eyebrow hairs or choose a much thicker shape to achieve better symmetry. If those options are not desired and symmetry is not a concern for you, you may opt to do over the natural flow of each eyebrow.

If we are covering up an old eyebrow embroidery previously done by another artist, please come with realistic expectations of what is possible to achieve. If the former shade is extremely uneven or dramatic in shape, we may not be able to achieve your exact desired shape or symmetry. Any hairstrokes done within the old eyebrow embroidery may blend in and will not be as crisp, giving an appearance of unevenness in color and the old shade will still show through the new microbladed eyebrows. Therefore, you may either opt to do Microblading with Shading (Bladeshading) or Ombre Brow to better coverup your old eyebrow embroidery.

All options will be discussed during the consultation, and procedure will not start until the final design is agreed upon so please come prepared with an idea in mind of how you would like to design your eyebrows. Having pictures available will help me have a clear vision of what you are trying to achieve.

FOR EYELINER EMBROIDERY:

There are few designs available. You can let me know which do you prefer as some just want to enhance the lash line and do not need a long winged tail to maintain the natural look. Some would like more dramatic makeup look therefore will design thicker and longer winged eyeliner. All these options will also be discussed during consultation as not all eyelids are suitable for every eyeliner designs.

FOR LIPS EMBROIDERY:

The design will actually following your lips line and it can enhance your current lips shape but will not make it a lot bigger as we do not do over the lip skin too much due to the lips skin and face skin are both different in the texture and healed result. Different color can be customized according to your preference. All these options will be discussed during consultation and just let us know what is the end result you would like to achieve.

Microblading (also known as eyebrow embroidery or feathering or 6D Eyebrow) originated in Far East Asia. This method is the finest form of eyebrow tattooing, using a pen-like device with a disposable microblade attached to stroke very thin lines of pigment into the skin which is also called hairstroke technique. These thin lines flow in the same direction as your own hairs, and create the most natural results. This method is different than the traditional tattoo done by machine.

Ombre brow is also known as powder eyebrow/ mist eyebrow is shading technique by machine/ hand, will give your eyebrow look like having put on makeup using the eyebrow pencil.

Microblading with Shading Eyebrow (Bladeshading) is the combination of both the hairstroke and also the shading method. You can refer to photos of my works on my clients to further understand on how it will look like immediately after the treatment. You can follow my Facebook page (Minsays_Beaute) or Instagram (Minsays_Beaute) for these info.

If you get keloid scarring, any of this treatment will NOT be suitable for you.

Microblading works BEST on these types of skin:

• Dry skin type with tiny pores. Skin that’s thin but not super thin. This type of skin is usually not very sensitive with non-translucent fair ivory skin tone and doesn’t bleed easily.
• Normal to combination skin-type with small pores can be a bit oily to dry and sensitive or not sensitive. This type of skin is usually non-translucent and can range from light to dark skin tones, young or mature skin and doesn’t bleed easily.
• Normal to Oily skin with medium pores. Skin that is thicker and a bit oily. This type of skin is usually non-translucent and can range from light to dark skin tones, young or mature skin and doesn’t bleed easily.

Microblading will NOT WORK WELL for these types of skin:

• Thick oily skin with large pores, tends to bleed easily. The skin texture and constant production of oil will cause the hairstrokes to heal with a thicker diffused, softer look. I can work on this type of skin, however, you must be aware that your end result will look more powdered and blended than you would expect.
• Super-thin, soft, hypersensitive, skin with barely any upper skin layer. Usually translucent and pale with invisible pores and can have rosacea or dermatitis. This type of skin bleeds VERY easily, has a harder time healing, Pigment can appear more ashy, blurred and patchy.

Things to note:

If you have an old tattoo that is still quite dark, the strokes will blend right into the old tattoo and results will not look as crisp as going over blank skin (*Please refer to the next question number 5).

If you are a frequent smoker, your pigment may fade sooner.

If you are iron deficient or Anemic, your pigment may fade sooner and bleeding/bruising may occur during and after the procedure.

If you generally have problematic skin, bleed excessively, get infections easily, and do not heal well when cut or injured, you may want to reconsider having this procedure as the results are extremely dependent on the healing process.

** PLEASE SEND A PHOTO OF YOUR OLD EYEBROW PRIOR TO BOOKING AN APPOINTMENT. NOTE THAT YOUR OLD EYEBROW MUST BE VERY FADED IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE DESIRED RESULTS. GOING OVER AN OLD WORK THAT IS STILL TOO DARK WILL GIVE YOU DISAPPOINTING RESULTS, so it is best to remove the old tattoo first, before getting microblading done. Some can still be salvaged using Ombre Brow Coverup 🙂

If we are covering up an old tattoo previously done by another artist, please come with realistic expectations of what is possible to achieve. If the former tattoo is extremely uneven or dramatic in shape, we may not be able to achieve your exact desired shape or symmetry. Any hairstrokes done within the old tattoo may blend in and will not be as crisp, giving an appearance of unevenness in color and the old tattoo will still show through the new hairstrokes. If there is a build up of scar tissue, the strokes may not hold as well in those areas. Specifications on an exact color after healed is not guaranteed.

If you want to correct the color of your old tattoo (that has faded to red/orange/blue/gray) so it doesn’t end up showing between the hairstrokes, color correcting can be an option by shading in the area. Hairstrokes will still not be as crisp even with shading. Please keep in mind that the pigment I use are semi permanent and will fade over time which means that the color of your old tattoo will still be there as my pigment fades. You will need touchups to maintain a neutralized color.

For optimum results with Microblading, you may also opt to remove your old tattoo . This option may require several sessions (done before your microblading procedure at least 8 weeks apart) for desired results.  

All options will be discussed during the consultation, and procedure will not start until the final design is agreed upon.

Please contact 0182290377 to send a picture of your old tattoo prior to booking an appointment for cover up or color correction to eliminate the risk of losing your deposit due to not being able to work over the old tattoo.

Immediately after, the area will be quite dark and gets darker over the next 3-5 days as scab forms in the area. Over the next 6-14 days your scabs should flake off bit by bit. DO NOT pick at the scabs. We promote dry healing as this will give best result for microblading eyebrow.

Scabbing will take around 7-14 days, some may be longer. For the after scabbing area, you will see that the color of your pigment appears lighter, foggy and muted in color because a layer of skin has grown over the pigment to seal it in. Not to worry, over the next several weeks your skin will regenerate and the pigment will be more vibrant in color. The complete healing process takes at least 4 weeks which is when the true orientation of the pigment will show.

For Ombre Brow, it will look darker over the next 2-3 days and thin peeling can be seen after that. Just stay dry for at least 24 hours after the procedure. Do not pick on the peeling and just let it drop off by itself. Real result can only be seen after 4 weeks. Same goes for eyeliner and lips 🙂

FOR MICROBLADING EYEBROW

Getting them wet for prolonged periods of time may cause premature lifting of your scabs and increase the chance of infections and loss of pigment. If you get them wet, you must blot them dry immediately to avoid complications and undesired results such as smudgy blurred lines, scar tissue, and uneven pigment. Dry healing is recommended as it will give best result for microblading eyebrow.

You also must avoid sweating in that area for at least 14 days. Salt draws out pigment and you will be left with undesirable results.

FOR OMBRE BROW, EYELINER & LIP

You just need to let them dry for 24 hours and then can continue your normal facial routine after that. Please do not rub too hard on the treated area though. For Lip, please ensure it is cleaned every time after meal to keep them hygiene as lips is more prone to get infection due to the food intake. Continue to apply lip balm/ Vaseline for lips as often as possible to keep your lip hydrated at all times so that the color can last longer.

FOR PRP, MICRONEEDLING & PLASMA PEN

Please do not wet the treated area for at least 24 hours after the procedure. No makeup for at least 48 hours on the treated area.

Chemicals found in makeup and cleansers may alter the color of the pigment and affect the healing process so it would be best to wash around it.

No makeup on the treated Semi Permanent makeup (Eyebrow, Eyeliner & Lips) area for at least two weeks or until it fully peel off (whichever comes first) but everywhere else is fine. 

For brows, 2 hours. The consultation takes up most of this time.  Numbing the area takes 20 min. The actual procedure is around 30-40 minutes. Touchups are around 1 hour 30 minutes.

Classic Eyeliner embroidery takes 2hrs, Stardust Eyeliner Embroidery and Lip Embroidery takes around 3 hours. 

We use a strong topical anesthetic cream for numbing before and throughout the procedure for maximum comfort as pain tolerance will vary from person to person. Some do not really feel much while others may feel more sensitive.

Yes! I do occasionally travel and offer services in other cities. Please note that prices may increase or vary for travel dates. Complimentary touch-ups are not included with travel dates and are reflected upon the price. Travel expenses and studio fees for my guest spots will be included in the price.

**Please read the policies section about deposits for out of town guest spots.

The first appointment is about structure, design, and embroidery session. The touchup is about seeing how the skin heals and retains pigment, as well as making any necessary adjustments to achieve better symmetry, definition, or volume.

In most cases, only a minor touchup is necessary to fill in any sparse areas for a very natural look and some do choose to skip the touch-up appointment to keep the look more natural.

If you are opting for a fuller more defined look, then the touch-up is recommended to achieve desired results.

Some may need a 3rd session to complete the process. Especially if your brow have little to no hair to begin with, have scar tissue, oily skin type, peeling on lips or we are trying to cover up an old shade.

As a conclusion, it is recommended for touchup after 2 months to get desired result 🙂

They fade over time and should be refreshed every 1 – 1. 5 years for maintenance. Fading is desired as your skin and facial structure will change as aging occurs. However this does not mean that your semi-permanent makeup will completely disappear. Depending on  your skin and health, overtime your semi-permanent makeup may leave a soft haze of residual pigment behind. It is recommended to refresh them before 2 years and no sooner than 9 months. If they have faded before that, you may fill them in with makeup and wait after 9 months to come back for additional touchup to avoid too much trauma to your skin.

These factors will cause your semi-permanent tattoo to fade faster:

• Iron deficiency
• Sun exposure
• Exfoliants
• Strong immune systems
• Exposure to salt water
