Honestly ladies I can be your guinea pig for almost any beauty concern. So after I got my eye lash extensions which I loved, I started thinking about micro blading, which is a service that my salon also offers.
I may have lost some people right now, so let me explain. Micro blading is a technique like waxing or threading for eyebrows only it is semi permanent, giving defined brows and tint for up to 18 months.
In case you haven’t heard of said procedure, manual micro blading is a form of semi-permanent tattoo that involves using tiny needles (instead of a tattoo gun) that make up a small blade to help deposit pigment under your skin
You may be wondering what would make anyone consider this sort of procedure but trust me when you have to decide between brow fillers, eye brow pencil, brow powder and the rest, a sort of permanent well done eyebrow is very desirable. I mean you get to wake up with your eyebrows on fleek every day. If you get this done and your eye lashes and skin look good, you practically do not need any make up. Think of how fast it would take to get ready in the mornings and for any occasion.
After I decided to get micro blading for my eyebrows, I made a few discoveries;
• It is not ideal for oily skin
If you have really oily skin, it may be better to get shading which is another semi permanent procedure. This is because most times a tint is used in the micro blading process and oil will blur the thin hair like strands and cause the tint to fade. It will not last as long. Hence a possible waste of resources
• It is not cheap
That being said; you can compare prices at different stylists but it will cost you a quite a bit to get it done properly.
• The process can take time
I am talking like two hours. If you have to rush somewhere I don’t suggest booking the appointment then.
• Pick a shape first
Really discuss with your stylist, you don’t want to come out with a brow shape you hate for months.
• It is really helpful if you have no hair or scant hair on your eyebrows
It really is a life saver.
• There are after care instructions
Your stylist will talk you through the Dos and Don’ts right after. So you may not get to skip off into the sunset immediately. You will need to be careful the first few days after to prevent an infection.
Did I mention it looks really natural?
I highly recommend it!
