Frequently asked questions
-
What is Microblading?Microblading is a form of semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing where a small needle is used to implant colour pigment beneath the surface of the skin in the form of hair strokes. My process typically takes be 2 hours.
-
Does it hurt?We use high quality numbing topical cream before the procedure to make sure our clients are as comfortable as possible. Slight discomfort is normal and can be compared to the feeling of scratching a sunburn or plucking hairs. Everyone's pain tolerance varies, but if it hurt too bad people probably wouldn't be doing it!
-
How long does it last?Typically, microblading can last anywhere from 1 to 2 years depending on your skin type/ sun exposure/ skincare routine/ and how well you take care of your brows while they are healing. If you have extremely oily skin you have a big chance of losing a lot of pigment during your healing process and will almost always require multiple sessions. Touch-ups are very common and most people will need to come in for at least two sessions of microblading to get the desired results. Because everyone has such different skin types and healing results, final results can never be guaranteed.
-
How do I take care of my fresh brows?You will be sent home with a very detailed aftercare instructional guide after your procedure. Please read through it very thoroughly and do not stray from the instructions. Charlotte will also verbally walk you through the aftercare instructions at the end of your appointment. You will be also given a organic aftercare balm to apply morning and night.el free to email us th any questions about your healing process after your appointment! Aftercare is a very important part of the process and should be taken very seriously!
-
How can I make my cosmetic tattoos last longer?Switch to a daily moisturizer with SPF, sun damage is one of the main causes of pigment loss/dulling. Just like regular tattoos, you want to keep your brows out of direct sunlight as much as possible in order to preserve their colour. Avoid using products with anti-aging properties on your microbladed brows. These products cause cellular turnover and can shorten the life of your brows. Aftercare is the first step to ensuring your brows last as long as possible, make sure you follow all of the instructions you are given during your appointment!
-
How soon can I schedule my top up?You should schedule a touch-up between 4-6 weeks after your intional treatment. You will not see your final results until that point because your brows are still in the healing process.
-
How do I set up an appointment?Please see my "book now" section to make an appointment! Be prepared to send me clear pictures of your brows with no makeup on and a short description of how you would like to improve your brows. If you have any reference pictures of brows that you like, please have them ready at your appointment. We require a non-refundable £50 deposit to confirm your appointment.

-
Can you work on previously tattooed eyebrows?I take on cover-up work on a case by case basis. I would just need to see a clear picture of your brows in order to make my decision. It is very important to make sure you let me know that you have had previous cosmetic tattoo work in the first booking.
