  • Not always! If you have extremely oily skin, a microblading technique may not work well for you. The constant production of oil in your skin will cause the hair strokes to heal with a migrated/ blurred look, so strokes are not as crisp looking. In this case an "Ombre' Powdered Brow" technique may be better suited for you. If you are a very active person who works out a lot, you may also be better suited for an Ombre' Powder Brow. The reason being is that the salt naturally produced during sweating can cause premature fading . Medical conditions and medications can also determine your suitability. If you are taking blood thinners, you will be required to stop taking these and seek Doctor's approval if prescribed prior to booking any permanent make up services.

  • We use a topical anesthetic to numb your skin during the procedure, so discomfort is very minimal. Anesthetic is reapplied as needed throughout the procedure so your experience is as comfortable as possible. Most of our clients only feel the very fist pass, which takes about 3-4 minutes per brow. A topical numbing anesthetic is applied immediately after first pass, and brows are completely numbed throughout the remainder of the procedure. Most clients fall asleep during the tattooing process.

  • Absolutely not! We try to retain as much of your natural brow hairs as possible and work to enhance your natural facial features. Only the brow hairs that are outside the perimeters of the brow design will be removed. The goal is to create the most natural and realistic brows as possible, and your natural brow hairs help aid in this process.

  • None! You can leave the salon after the procedure and carry on as normal. Minimal redness may be present for an hour or so after procedure. Lips on the other hand, may cause some swelling, but this subsides after 24 hours. If you have an important event or trip away, we ask that you plan accordingly. Make up can be worn after getting your brows done, however we would prefer for you NOT use any make up in the actual treated area. Aftercare involves lightly cleansing the area and applying the provided ointment that is included in your after care kit. An aftercare instructional video will also be sent immediately after your appointment to make sure you fully understand all aftercare instructions, Further to this, swimming, wetting your brows and/or heavy sweating is not permitted during the healing period.

    Each client receives a customized pigment selection based on his or her natural brow hair color, skin undertones, skin complexion, and the client's overall desired look. Your skin type and hair color will help guide this process along with other specific factors that are taken into consideration so modifications can be made to ensure the best healed results. Multiple shades are chosen to help determine the best shade for each client. We also mix colors to find the perfect match specifically for you.

  • No, you cannot, but once you are no longer pregnant, and / or breast feeding you can receive your permanent make-up procedure of choice. We want what's best for both mommy & baby, and we would prefer to NOT inject any foreign unnecessary substances into your body which may cause adverse reaction to your little one.

  • Results are varied on each individual's skin type, how your body heals, the technique used; Microblading VS Microshaded Ombre' Powder Brows, lifestyle choices and our individual bodies' responses, all effect the long-term outcome.

    Cosmetic Tattooing is not an exact science, but typically last between 2-3 years, depending on the area treated and technique used. For example, Ombre' Powder Brows will last longer than Microblading, so this procedure is a great option for active people who workout a lot or have oily type skin.

  • The color & saturation on your new Cosmetic Tattoo will heal anywhere from 30%-50% lighter than the initial procedure. The 6-10 week touch-up is where we make sure your brows or lips have healed properly. In this appointment we have an opportunity to fine tune and perfect any areas that have faded a little too much, and make color adjustments if needed. For this very reason, it is important that all clients schedule this appointment to maximize the appearance and longevity of your procedure. If we feel you DO NOT need a touch up once you arrive to your appointment, your deposit will be returned and we will see in a year or so.

  • Booking an annual color retouch is a personal preference. We offer 3 different options for annual touch ups; 12-18 month annual touchup, 2-3 year annual touch up and 3-4 year annual touch up. If your shape is still present, then we can give you an annual touch up. If you book 4 years after your initial appointment with Blush Browz & Lashes, you are considered a full treatment again.

  • All Permanent Makeup Initial appointments are 3 - 3.5 hours. Once you arrive to your appointment, we will walk you through filling out the consultation form, and obtaining your medical history. Step 2 is before pictures & videos and then we map out the new brow design. Once you are happy and approve the pre-draw design, color selection is chosen based on your complexion, undertone, and natural brow hair color. Once the tattoo is completed, Ms. Shannon will then spend time thoroughly educating you on aftercare.

  • Ms Shannon is known as the queen of cover ups! About 50% of our business is correcting previously botched brows. We only accept previous Cosmetic Tattoos done elsewhere with caution and may refer you for removal first if we feel this is needed prior to offering our services. You must book a consultation prior to booking an appointment. Disclosing ALL information is extremely important in the event that there is anything that may affect your suitability for this procedure.

    If you have had you eyebrows previously tattooed at a Tattoo shop / Body Art facility with tattoo ink (NOT pigment), you WILL need to contact Shannon for an in person consultation first. Tattoo removals are no longer offered at Blush Browz. We refer all clients who are in need of removal to a suggested partner Dermatology clinic.
