​
Clients with very thin, aged or mature skin, extremely oily skin, or very large sebaceous pores are more suited for a combination, ombre, or powder brow done with a machine. Please contact Chloe and send a photo of your bare skin if you are unsure.
2. What if I have previous microblading/microshading work?
Any previous work must be removed or 75% faded (Chloe will soon be offering saline tattoo removal).
​
Anyone who shows up to an appointment with unapproved previous tattooing
will likely be turned away and charged the cancellation fee.
​
Please send a photo if you are unsure if you qualify before booking.
All clients with previous work from another artist will be charged as a new client, unless explicitly told otherwise.
3. Is there anything I should avoid before my appointment?
-
No Botox 3 week prior to appointment
-
No chemical peels 6 weeks before or after
-
No Retinols/Retin-A or other anti-aging/acne creams, or serums containing acids as this will cause quicker fading. If you take Vitamin A everyday then you have to be off of it for 6 weeks before you can get the procedure and stay off until 6 weeks after touch up. Accutane must be off 6 months-year
-
Discontinue use of AHA (chemical exfoliation) skin care products close to the area to be tattooed at least one week prior to your procedure
-
No laser or electrolysis on or around the treatment area one week prior to procedure
-
Do not have any chemical peels, dermabrasions, mesotherapy, or any other intense treatments which will cause faster skin call rejuvenating and cause skin irritation 3-4 weeks before procedure

Do not work our or sweat heavily the day of the procedure or 7-10 days after
-
Do not tan or have sunburned face the day of
-
Do not take any blood thinners 48 hours before
-
No waxing or tinting 3 days before
-
No alcohol or caffeinated drinks 24 hours before
-
Smoking before procedure can cause excess bleeding, and may lead to slow healing of wounds
4. What does the healing process look like?
-
Day 1: Brows will look finely detailed and crisp. Color may appear too light or too dark, but should develop into a more fitting color when healed.
-
Days 2-3: Brows will appear bold and dense, as scabs begin to form. The scabs should look like a thick and raised scab.
-
Days 4-5: Scabs will begin to flake off. DO NOT PICK. This may create patchiness or scarring.
-
Days 5-7: Skin under scabs will appear lighter in color. Pigment may even seem to have disappeared, but be patient. The color should return day by day. This is normal!
-
Days 7-10: Your body will develop a new layer of skin over the tattoo.
-
Days 10-45: If your brow color doesn’t return as bold as you hoped, don’t worry. This is the purpose of a touch up session. Patchiness and imperfections will be corrected then.
5. What can I expect during my first microblading session?
-
First, we have a consult where we discuss the shape, size, and color of the brow, as well as the aftercare instructions and healing process.
-
Then, I do brow mapping and draw out the brows. I make sure you LOVE THEM before moving forward. Don’t be shy about changes!
-
Then, I outline the shape with my machine. You will not be numbed yet as this is a very LIGHT outline.
-
After I have the outline, I numb you. And then we go into the shading! I use two local anesthetic to ensure you feel as little pain as possible.
-
At the end, we go over the aftercare instructions again and I give you an aftercare kit!
6. How long does it last?
-
Longevity varies per client. After the touch-up (6-12 weeks after the first session) it will last between 12-24 months, depending on your skin-type, sun exposure, facial products, etc.
7. Will it hurt?
-
You will be numbed in the area throughout the procedure. It may sting a little, but overall, the pain level for most clients is about a 2 on a scale of 1-10.
8. What forms of payment do you take?
-
Debit/credit, cash, check, Venmo, Cashapp, Paypal, or Zelle!
9. WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY
-
YOU CAN RESCHEDULE UP TO 48 HOURS BEFORE YOU APPOINTMENT. IF YOU CANCEL WITHIN THE 48 HOURS, YOU WILL BE CHARGED AN INCONVENIENCE FEE, WHICH IS 50% OF YOUR SERVICE COST.
