Who should get microshading

Framing and balancing the face a well-designed and groomed brow can instantly give lift and emphasis to the eyes giving a more youthful appearance. Various concerns such as sparse, thin or naturally very light eyebrows can be addressed by adding fullness and definition without compromising a natural look. This procedure gives you the appearance of a powder | shadow brow. Anyone who desires more fullness of the brows will love this procedure and the time saved not applying make-up.

Those who used to apply brow pencil can go swimming, sweat, or wipe your forehead without the embarrassment of losing their eyebrows. Alopecia suffers are pleasantly surprised at how natural it looks. Most brow procedures require at least one touch up.

This amazing eyebrow treatment suits people who have an unflattering brow shape, have over tweezed or waxed, lack of hair do to prescriptions or chemotherapy, always had or are getting sparse areas in their brows that won’t grow back or just what to define and enhance their brow.

What’s the difference microshading verses microblading

• Microshading or Powder Dust brows If you have sparse brows and love the look of lightly or heavy filled-in brows, this is for you! Microshading also known as powder brows great for those with oily, sensitive or mature skin. Perfect pixel dot technique is used to powder shade in a new perfectly shaped brows. Our favorite is a natural-dusting feathery brow.
• Microblading uses a bladed needle to apply pigmentation underneath the skin. The technician fills your brows by making hair-like strokes that look like natural eyebrow hair.

Hybird brows | both worlds

Between you and me, the hybrid brow is my favorite. It’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like: a combination of Microblading and microshading (blade + shade).

Pros: The combination of microbladed hair strokes and a powder fill gives an incredibly natural looking brow. It’s a bit more defined and filled in than just straight microbladed brows.

Who is it best for: I really love this technique for everyone to be honest. All brows are customized specifically for each individual client based on your desired look, skin type, coloring, bone structure etc. There are no two clients with the same brow design.

Pigments used

Tonya has used several pigment lines since 2010. She is using one of the best pigments on the market with safety as it #1 priority. The inks are comprised of the highest quality ingredients and have a very high light fastness which means as the ink ages in the skin they “should’ not discolor. Leaving a soft appearance that blends naturally with the skin. These inks are known for their stability, longevity and reliability. Cruelty free never tested on animals and certified vegan.

How long does it last

Microshading procedure results vary person to person. Usually, lasts about 1 to 3 years, although you’ll need a touch-up or maintenance refresher session every 8-18 months. Generally the results are amazing but it very much depends on your own skin type, texture and oiliness. After care must be taken seriously!

How long does it take

Your Microshading sessions are broken up into two appointments – the first appointment and then 4 to 6 weeks later (perfecting session).

First treatment

Please allow up to 1.5 hours for your first microshading appointment to be completed.

• Tonya will take a before pictures and will chat about your desired look, color and shape.  

• Tonya will then get your numbing cream on (this is the strongest numbing with a prescription from a Doctor associate).

• She will first tint and shape what you have for brow hair as she likes to use as much of your natural brow as possible. Then she will measure, balance, and draw a brow shape with a white pencil.  This is the template Tonya will use to start your new brows.

• Most of this time is spent waiting for numbing to take effect and measuring and balancing the brows and working together to get the best final shape. The tattooing itself is quite quick.

• Once finished with the tattooing, you’ll discuss aftercare, and take some after pictures to compare.

Perfecting session

Tonya will then see you in 4-6 weeks for your perfecting session. The time between appointments gives the skin time to heal and let the color settle. Tonya will see how your skin has held the pigment and can make any adjustments to color or shape as needed. But really this appointment is exactly as described- it’s all about the perfecting of your new brows. Because everyone’s skin heals differently with different results the same amount of time will be scheduled for this session.

Your perfecting session cannot exceed 60 days from your first procedure date or a charge of $175 will be charged.

Healing

Healing usually takes about a week. However, please allow a few days if you have an event or special occasion coming up. Do not to micro-analyze your brows until 30 days that’s when you will know your completely healed pigment.  Your new permanent eyebrow will go through several phases during the healing cycle.  

The pigment will appear very sharp and dark immediately after the procedure. This is because the pigment is still sitting on top of your skin, and has not yet settled in completely. The color of the pigment will soften gradually, and you may see some pigment on your towel after washing your face, or on your pillowcase – do not be alarmed.
