How much does microblading cost?

The consultation is free. The cost of the microblading appointment is $499, which includes a complimentary perfecting session. (At certain points during the year, a non-refundable deposit of $100 + HST ($113) is required by email money transfer to book, which is applied toward the cost of the microblading appointment. Final payment would then be made at the microblading appointment.) Payment is preferred by cash or email money transfer, although credit cards are also accepted.

​

Will it look natural?

YES! Because microblading involves the precision of manually drawn hair-like strokes, your brows will look very natural. You will be amazed at the realism of the technique. Because everything is done manually, the eyebrows can be created as large and full or as subtle as you’d prefer.

​

How long does it take to heal?
You can wear your new brows back to work/momlife/brunch after your appointment! Your skin will be completely healed after two weeks, and the colour will be healed after about four weeks. I provide you with healing balm that helps with itchiness and flaking. It will not be visibly apparent that you've had work done (no extreme redness, bandages etc.).

​

How long does it last?

Microbladed eyebrows lasts an average of 12-18 months for most clients. This can vary depending on age, skin, lifestyle, and compliance with aftercare recommendations. Other factors can include sun exposure, chemical peels, tanning beds, iron deficiency, and smoking. We recommend an annual touch-up appointment to keep your brows looking fabulous.

​

Will the procedure hurt?

Of course pain tolerance varies by client. That said, most people find the discomfort level minimal and completely manageable (an average of 2 or 3 out of 10). We use a numbing cream during the procedure to assist with potential discomfort. The feeling is often described as warm pressure or a scratching sensation, but it is very tolerable (and of course worth it!). Some clients even fall asleep during the procedure!

​

How long does the appointment take?

The consultation takes about 15 minutes, the first microblading session takes about 2 hours, and the perfecting session generally takes about an hour.

​

How is the colour chosen?

We work with your skin’s natural pigment and take inspiration from your natural hair colour. If you dye your hair, that is also taken into consideration. We can discuss this further and look at multiple options if you are uncertain.

​

Can microblading cover/hide my scars?

Usually, yes! But please send me photos beforehand so I can ensure that you're a good fit. 

​

Do I need to wax, shave, or pluck my brows in advance?

Generally speaking, no you don't! Leave all of your brow hair for at least 5 days prior to your appointment. We will shape your brows with a fine razor and/or tweezers as needed in accordance with the new brow shape and size. If you have a lot of eyebrow hair, it may be appropriate to have the brows waxed a few days before your appointment. We will confirm this during our consultation. 

​

How is microblading different from a regular tattoo?

A regular tattoo is implanted deeper into the skin, and leaves the recipient with a dark block style brow which looks very unnatural and has no depth. The colour tends to fade and change, leaving undesirable results after a couple of years. Microblading pigment is embedded close to the surface of the skin (which is why microblading lasts 6-18 months). Microblading colours heal properly and are maintained because of the positioning of the pigment (unlike regular tattoos), and the manual strokes allow for a very natural and 3D look.

​

What types of pigments do you use?

We use PhiBrows pigments which is one of the safest and highest quality cosmetic pigment brands worldwide. With over 25 years of safety, stability and amazing performance, with no heavy metals, no iron oxide, and no other harsh chemicals. Your face is important - we use the best.

 

Are there any side effects during or after the procedure?

Most clients feel slight discomfort during the procedure, and may have some very minor swelling, redness, and/or tenderness for up to a couple of days afterwards. Clients are able to drive right after the procedure, and most people continue with their day as normal. 

​

Can you microblade over an existing tattoo?

Often we can! If you have ink of any kind in your eyebrow area, please ensure you send photos and discuss this with us during your consultation. Due to colour, depth, and technique of previous tattooing, sometimes microblading is not possible. For upkeep of our microblading services, we recommend an annual touch-up appointment every 12-18 months.

​

How are you keeping your clients safe from COVID-19?

All clients are screened prior to studio entry. All products that come into contact with a client's face are disposable, and are disposed of after use. Clients wear a mask at the studio, and Brit wears a mask, gloves, and a face shield. Surfaces are disinfected after each client's appointment. Brit has completed additional health and hygiene certification for extra safety (including on the specific topics of Personal Protective Equipment, Infection Prevention and Control, and COVID-19).

​

Are you certified and insured?

Brit Wynne-Jones is a certified Microblading Artist. She has also received certification in Bloodborne Pathogens, Personal Protective Equipment, and Infection Prevention and Control. Brit is licensed and insured, and operates from a Public Health inspected home studio. *Because Ottawa does not require microblading artists to be certified, it is important that you research your artist carefully!

​

What if I don’t love them?

We want our clients to be happy. Please keep in mind that it is very difficult to predict exactly how well your skin will retain the pigment. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out right away.
