FAQ

  • What is Microblading?

    Microblading is a cosmetic tattooing procedure. Unlike a traditional tattoo, which is permanent, the coloring from microblading may last for up to 3 years. Microblading uses various tools, depending on desired look to achieve lifelike hair strokes to make eyebrows appear fuller, well-shaped.

  • What Should I Know After My Appointment?

    During your 4-week healing process you will go through many phases. Your brows will scab and peel for 3-10 days or not at all. Every skin type is different. After your appointment you will be sent home with proper after care instructions depending on your skin type.

  • Where are you located?

    My studio is conveniently located in downtown Calgary, at Unit 505 - 1100 1 St SE in Muse Aesthetics. Please note that I do not accept walk-ins and that an appointment is required.

  • Are Results Guaranteed?

    Results for microblading are never guaranteed. Every result depends soely on your skin type. Proper instructions with after care are vital. Your lifestyle also has a direct affect on how long your results will last.

  • Do these procedures hurt?

    Numbing cream is applied throught the procedure to ensure you are comfortable.

    MICROBLADING is not recommended for clients who are or have any of the following:

    -Pregnant or Nursing

    -Diabeti​c

    -Undergoing Chemotherapy (consult with your doctor)

    -Viral infections (diseases)

    -Had botox within a 3 week period of microblading appointment
