Question 2

Does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

To ensure comfort, highly effective topical anesthetics will be applied both before and during the procedure.    Pain tolerace will differ from one person to another.    If you are a frequent smoker, topical anesthetics during the treatment may have a shorter shelf-life when applied.    Ideally, refrain from booking any cosmetic tattooing during your menstrual cycle as this may increase the level of discomfort.

Question 4

What is 3D Hairline Microblading?

Accepted Answer

It is a technique used to create hairlike strokes, very much like eyebrow microwblading. The strokes copy the color and the style of the hair to create a natural look. The finished product is light enough, and blends seamlessly into your natural hairline creating the  illusion of a fuller hair line.    We offer semi-permenant microblading for women and men experiencing thinning hair.

Question 5

How will 3D Hairline Microblading look?

Accepted Answer

Hairline Microblading mimics hair strokes with a very thin and sharp needle. It is good for clients with a fair amount of natural hair. It is affordable and a great option for clients concerned with a thinning frontal hairline.    In order for the hairline strokes to blend seamlessly with your natural hair, the artist will closely color match the pigment to the roots of the client's hair.    Immediately after treatment, tattoo will appear darker, bolder and larger for the first few days.

Question 6

How long will it last?

Accepted Answer

After carefully matching the pigment to your root hair, clients can expect it to last for approximately 10-18 months before requiring a touch up appointment. Results and lasting power will vary depending on skin type, sun exposure and how often you wash your hair.

Question 7

What is the recovery process like?

Accepted Answer

There is no "down-time". But do avoid washing your hair for a week to let the color settle. Treated areas may appear darker at first, this is normal and part of the healing process. The color will lighten to your desired hue.    To ensure proper healing post-procedure, it is recommended to use a water based lotion or cream. If you are going in the sun, please apply broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen to protect your scalp and prevent tattoo from fading.    Please see Aftercare page for more information.

Question 8

How many sessions is recommended?

Accepted Answer

Two appointments are generally required for optimal results, with a 6-8 week time period in between. The wait time period is generous to ensure full healing is done prior to your touch-up appointment to sure natural-looking results.    There are cases where a single appointment is enough, but follow-up appointments are ideal and ensure longevity. In the touch-up appointment, we will look at how the skin has healed, and make any necessary adjustments.

Question 9

Cosmetic Tattooing/Microblading vs. Tattoos

Accepted Answer

The components are purposely meant to heal soft, so that it can easily adjust over time as the face changes.    Please keep in mind, although cosmetic tattoos are semi-permenant and the pigments will fade, your skil will not fully return to its pre-tattooed state without tattoo/laser removal services.
