PRE-SCREENING

As a brow artist, my goal is to ensure that my clients are a good fit for microblading, that they have realistic expectations, and that they receive the best possible results. 

​

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE?

Anyone interested in natural looking, full, gorgeous brows all day every day. Most commonly, my clients include busy moms and/or professionals who want to cut down on their "getting ready" time, athletes and competitive swimmers who want sweatproof/waterproof eyebrows, and gals who just want to nail the perfect brow shape and fullness like they see in their social media feeds.

Microblading can also be extremely valuable to clients who have experienced natural hair loss due to cancer treatments, alopecia, scarring, trichotillomania, and a variety of other diseases and disorders. 

​

WHAT FACTORS COULD MAKE AN UNSUITABLE CANDIDATE?

​

If any of the following factors apply to you, please let me know so that we can discuss and determine your candidacy. It is sometimes possible for us to find a work-around, or to put measures in place for you to be a good candidate.

You:

• Are under 18 years of age.

• Have dark prior permanent makeup (tattoo, microblading etc.) performed elsewhere may make you an unsuitable candidate. This can be determined during the consultation (I will need to see photos of the brow area.).  

• Are pregnant or nursing (due to the concern for the baby in the unlikely instance of an infection).

• Have extremely oily skin (as the microblading pigment won't last).

• Have uncontrolled high blood pressure.

• Have had recent or upcoming surgery (doctor’s note required).

• Have skin irritations near the eyebrows such as psoriasis, sunburn, eczema, shingles, melasma, rashes etc. Microblading should be avoided temporarily until the eyebrow area is clear.

• Are currently undergoing chemotherapy. Microblading is excellent for restoring brows after chemo is finished, but chemo compromises the immune system which can impact healing.

• Have a blood disorder/cancer such as hemophilia, anemia, leukemia etc.

• Are currently on Accutane or have been in the past 12 months.

• Have a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring, or hypopigmentation.

• Have Diabetes (requires good blood sugar control and doctor’s clearance).

• Have an auto-immune deficiency. (There are exceptions. Please let me know the details, and we can determine whether you could be a candidate or could receive doctor approval.)

• Have severe acne, especially in the eyebrow region.

• Have a condition that cause excessive bleeding.

• Have a viral infection and/or disease.

• Have a skin infection and/or disease.

• Have a transmittable blood disease such as HIV, HVP, or Hepatitis.

• Have a pacemaker or other heart conditions (doctor’s note required).

• Have any illness, medication, or treatment that compromises the immune system/healing.

• Have allergies to alcohol or numbing agents (which are found in our pigment and numbing cream and could cause a reaction).

These must be stopped at least 2 weeks prior to a microblading appointment or touch-up:

• Botox, Juvederm, and other injectable fillers 

• Chemical peels

• Laser treatments

• Sun sensitizing medications (including but not limited to Retinol/Retin-A/Vitamin A)
