Microblading
Expert Microblading Services in Winter Park, FL
Our Permanent Makeup Artist, Shanna Angel, performs the most highly anticipated form of tattoo artistry that mimics hair strokes, natural hair color, texture, and growth pattern. Shanna is a fully licensed tattoo artist for the state of Florida and is triple certified in Microblading, Combo Brows, and Lip Blush.
While there are many techniques and patterns when it comes to Microblading, Shanna uses a pattern that exhibits depth throughout the eyebrows as well as a natural direction of each hair stroke. With Combo Brows, our artist is able to use a combination of Microblading with Shading to add boldness and definition while creating a more powdered brow effect. Our microblading artist uses top-of-the-line pigments, disposable microblades, and aftercare made by tattoo artists for microbladed eyebrows to ensure great retention and lasting results.

Who Is the Ideal Candidate for Microblading?
Most people are candidates for Microblading, especially those with small pores, those who have overplucked throughout the years, and who have very light brows. Even clients who already have hair can get Microblading performed so as to achieve a fuller and more defined brow. A client who has never had their eyebrows Microbladed is the most ideal candidate as we will have a clean canvas to work with and be able to customize their set of brows according to their bone structure. Clients who have had previous Microblading or tattooing on their eyebrows from another artist may need color correction which can be achieved with the combination of Microblading with Shading.

What Are the Post-Care Instructions After My Microblading Appointment?
Aftercare Instructions
Your Microblading artist will go over with you in-depth your protocol once treatment has been completed. The entire healing process will take 4-6 weeks at which point you will be due for your initial touchup. Your eyebrows will appear very natural on the day of the procedure and much darker in color the following day. This is to be expected. Over the course of the next few weeks, your brows will begin to peel/scab and may appear lighter. The pigment will begin to resurface approximately 30 days post-treatment.
First 24 Hours
First thing after your Microblading procedure your brows may feel tender or raw—this is normal. Do not apply any type of soap, cleanser, or makeup. Do not get your brows wet in the shower.
24 Hours After & Seven Days Post-microblading Procedure
After 24 hours, use a clear neutral foaming cleanser and wash the brow area GENTLY in an upward motion (up to 10 seconds max). Blot the area dry and wait 20-30 minutes before applying your aftercare ointment. Continue this routine only ONCE A DAY and up to 7 days.
Itching and flaking may appear during the first seven days post-microblading procedure. If you see patches of light and dark areas, this is part of the scabbing process.
Activities such as increased sweating, sports, swimming, saunas, tanning, chemical peels, laser treatments, alcohol, and rubbing the treated area must be avoided for 14 days thereafter to prevent premature fading of pigment.
Upon complete healing, applying SUNSCREEN to your eyebrows is ESSENTIAL! Apply SPF 30-50 when exposed to the sun to prevent pigment from fading more quickly. Now you will be able to enjoy your new eyebrows! Microbladed eyebrows can last anywhere from 1-3 years based on your skin type post-treatment.
