Getting ready every morning can be a drag. We don't always have the same pep in our step every time we wake up. Permanent makeup is a semi-permanent solution to that problem. It is known as Microblading and removes the hassle of doing your brows every day. If you are reading this, it already means you were looking for a permanent makeup clinic near you or looking for affordable microblading treatments.

In recent years, microblading eyebrows has become a go-to move for people who want to look their best, always even when just waking up. We here at Harlowe Beauty Studio provide a wide range of permanent makeup treatments and skincare solutions that rejuvenate your skin and life. So if you live in Fernandina Beach and looking for the best permanent makeup clinic, then we may be what you are looking for.

We don't blame you for looking at microblading as a more permanent option for your eyebrows. There's a vast number of us who are just tired of filling in our brows every single day. We hate waking up with no eyebrows and want to be able to just go out of the house without putting a full face on. With microblading you can achieve this, saving you time and money.

But before we dive into the topic, let us tell you a little bit about Meaghan. Meaghan is a certified esthetician and tattoo artist who owns and operates Harlowe Beauty Studio. She believes that we all need a little "me time" to make our lives better. So now that you know where your information is coming from let's dive into our topic!

What's Microblading Really?

Permanent Makeup Artists will use a hand tool consisting of tiny, fine point needles to create thin, precise hairline strokes that resemble hair, building these up so that it looks like a full natural brow. The process works by scratching the skin surface to deposit pigment. We use inks specially formulated to look natural and also match the clients hair color. We usually mix a couple of colors giving you the perfect shade.

A true permanent makeup artist can use this technique combined with custom shaping to transform sparse, barely there brows to fully natural-looking eyebrows within a couple hours. Now that we've fully explained what microblading is, let's talk about its cost and how long it lasts.

How Long Does Microblading Last & How Much Does It Cost?

So a typical microblading lasts a person one to three years, depending on the skin type. If you have oily skin, then you may find that the microblading fades away faster. You should go back after four weeks for a touch-up. After getting the touch up four weeks after you get the treatment, you usually wouldn't have to go back for a touch up for another year.

Now that you know how long it will last you let's talk about how much microblading costs. If you search on Google "permanent makeup near me," you will see that clinics usually charge anywhere from 500 to 2000 thousand dollars depending on which clinic you go to. However, Harlowe Beauty Studio offers premium quality eyebrow microblading and other permanent makeup services at an affordable rate.

Does Microblading Hurt & Can You Be Allergic To It?

First thing's first, yes, you can be allergic to microblading. Meaning you can be sensitive to the type of ink used in the process. Even though this allergy is quite rare, it can happen, so if you're concerned, tell your artist and they can perform a patch test for you.

As for the pain, it's very minimal mainly because of the numbing ointment applied before the procedure starts. The entire process of microblading usually take around 2 hours with numbing process taking around 30 minutes.

Can Microblading Be Removed Or Reversed?

Yes, the color used in microblading leaves no scarring or discoloration, meaning it can be removed with a salt/saline solution or with laser treatment.

What To Do Before Getting A Microblading Treatment?

There are quite a few things you need to do before you get yourself a microblading eyebrow treatment. Here are the things you need to do beforehand:

• Never pick, tweeze, wax, or have electrolysis one week before the procedure.
• Do not sit in direct sunlight for long or use sunbeds at least two weeks prior.
• Stop using retinol or Vitamin A products at least one month beforehand.
• No exercising on treatment day.
• Do not have botox before or after for 2 weeks.
• Stop taking fish oil or Vitamin E one week before treatment.
• Stop waxing or tint your eyebrows at least three days beforehand.

There are three things you need to do on the day of the treatment. Here are the things you should follow:

• Do not drink alcohol 24-48 hours before the treatment.
• Do not drink coffee 2 hours prior.
• Never take aspirin or ibuprofen 24 hours prior.

Now that takes care of the things that you need to do before getting your treatment. Let's start talking about the aftercare.

Microblading Aftercare

Regardless of what you hear anywhere else, always remember that the aftercare or the healing process is vital. Some things to remember are: you can not get your brows wet or sweaty for one week after you get the treatment. You will need to apply a NON-ANTIBACTERIAL OINTMENT for the first 5 days. This will be provided for you.

DO NOT pick at the scabs if they occur. Avoid using acids or retinoids. While these are great healers of wounds, they usually tend to discolor the pigment used in microblading. And then come back for your touch up appointment.
