PMU Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference?
What is High Definition Microblading?
First, your ideal brow shape is meticulously drawn on using a system of precise measurements and the artist’s skilled eye. Then, after your approval of the shape, we determine the undertones of your skin and carefully select the pigment colors and modifier pigments needed to assure a beautiful color match to your natural hair. Then using a precise, sterile fine needle hand-held tool we create gorgeous hair-like strokes to mimic the appearance of a natural looking brow.
How long does the PMU procedure take?
Did we mention Erika was meticulous? She does not rush the procedure and it usually takes around 2.5 hours to 3 hours from start to finish. She takes her time with each client and keeps you informed at each step. Erika takes a long time getting the shape of your brow JUST RIGHT before she proceeds to the actual microblading. The same applies to other PMU services. After all, this is a tattoo on your face, and she wants to treat it as such.
Am I a good candidate for the procedure?
How long does it last?
Typically, Microblading will last from 6 months to 2 years. However, everyone has a different lifestyle and different kinds of skin, therefore we cannot make any guarantees that your microblading will last any specific amount of time- nobody can, but if you wear sunscreen on your brows and do not use exfoliating products on your brows they will last much longer.
Does it hurt?
We do prenumb for all of our procedures, however, people who need more numbing at the dentist office will probably not numb as easily for us. There is typically a very minimal amount of discomfort if any at all! For most clients, it is pain free!
What kind of tools and pigments do you use?
We strive to provide the absolute best services and of course that also means we use the best tools! All of our tools are individually packaged, single use, and adhere to the highest standards of sterilization. We also use and are trained in Li brand pigments, which are the best pigments on the market. They are molecularly bonded together so that when they fade, they fade in a consistent way and will not turn colors like other cheaper pigment brands. We also took an extra course in these pigments, color theory, and color correction so that we can ensure that you get a beautiful color match for your brows that stays true to color.
