Who out there doesn’t fill their eyebrows in with makeup, but has been considering microblading ?! ⁣

YOU ARE NOT ALONE. My client would rarely fill in her eyebrows with makeup because it was such a hassle.⁣

But she knew she wanted a fuller shape and decided to pull the trigger & get microblading.⁣

👇🏼 Look at how natural we can keep microblading. ⁣

This means even if you wear makeup regularly you can still benefit from microblading. ⁣

💗 No better way to start the weekend off than with some Microblading 💗 I have told this story before about my client, but I'm telling it again ..... 💥 Guys this client actually made me NERVOUS! I've been doing microblading for about 7 years now and I can confidently say that I haven't felt nervous to work on any client in years... BUT... The other day I did one of my ( very long time) friends brows. Right before the session, she mentioned she hasn't let anyone touch her eyebrows, and no plucking, waxing, threading ect. 😬 I panicked for .25 seconds... What if she doesn't like them and there goes 15 years down the drain as friends!?!?! Then I came back to reality and realized.... " ummm Sarah you do this for a living all day every day WTh are you worried about ?!" Not trying to toot my own horn or anything, but these came out FREAKING PERFECT !

Before I microblade, I will pre-map a brow shape for each individual client. Brow mapping is not a cookie-cutter process. Every client receives their own unique brow shape at their appointment. YOU the client will have to APPROVE the size and shape before we move forward. The things I take into consideration while mapping are ; 1. The client's facial features 2. The natural brow bone thickness 3. The client's natural brow growth 4. The amount of eyelid space 5. Age of the client Let me know if this was helpful in the comments below! 💕

BE HONEST... 🫣 How many of you have put off getting microblading in fear that they might look unnatural?! If so, let me put your mind at ease! In order to create a super-natural look, your artist needs to follow these 4 rules: 1. Ensure that the new brow shape follows each client's individual bone structure. ( this is why some brow shapes are slightly different than others) 2. The clients skin tone, undertone, and brow color all need to be taken into consideration before mixing the correct brow pigment. 3. The microblading pattern used, should always flow with the growth of your natural eyebrow hair. 4. All brow shapes, fullness, and colors should be age appropriate. These four rules are what I follow for each and every single one of my clients. If you have any questions about this process please send me a DM I would love to talk to you & don't forget to follow my Instagram to take a look at some of my work @ nirvanapmu

Did you know the beginning of your brows (aka the head of the brow) should start and line up with the nostril of your nose? If you place a pen right where your nostril meets your nose and hold it straight up, that's exactly where your eyebrow should begin. If your eyebrows does not start in that spot you might have the same problem my client had. Her eyebrows started too far apart. This can create an illusion that causes the head to look wider than what it is. This is why I brought her eyebrow in closer together. Look at how great they look now !

This sweet momma was gifted brows from all of her kids for christmas. I personally could not think of a better gift. 😜 Because she is a beautiful mom of older kids. ( I know she doesn't look like it ) I do want to take this time to point out when creating a brow shape for my client I also chose an age appropriate brow shape, size, and color. This is a HUGE factor in ensuring the microblading results look natural for each individual client.

Shout out to all my OG clients out there!⠀ ⠀ A lot of you have trusted me with your brows for the last 7 years and I couldn't be more greatful. ❤️

Do you see those crispy hair strokes ?! One thing I have learned over the years is that the microblading tools used can make a difference, especially the needle size. Many people are taught to use bigger needle sizes, which results in thicker looking hair strokes. I personally belive this makes the microbladed eyebrow look unnatrual. But when you use a small enough needle you can create thin and crispy hair strokes. This will mimic the actual size and apperance of eyebrow hair.

Who out there doesn’t fill their eyebrows in with makeup at all but has been considering microblading ?! ⁣ ⁣ YOU ARE NOT ALONE. My client here rarely ever filled in her eyebrows with make up because it was such a hassle.⁣ ⁣ She knew she wanted a fuller shape and decide to pull the trigger & get microblading.⁣ ⁣ Look at how natural we can keep microblading. ⁣ ⁣ I’m using this as an example to show everyone that even if you don’t currently fill your eyebrows in you can always benefit from this technique. ⁣

Would you rather ……..⁣ ⁣ Wake up with perfect brows everyday ⁣ ⁣ Wake up with perfect lashes everyday ⁣ Or ⁣ Both 😉⁣ ⁣ Just like my client has here !⁣ ⁣ Nothing beats waking up in the morning and already looking put together.⁣ If you have these services done, you know Exactly what I am talking about.⁣ ⁣ If not you should try it out 😛⁣ ⁣

Would you belive me if I told you this client suffered from the over plucking era ? She came in with pencil thin brows, but we were able to send her home with this brand new set of microbladed eyebrows. What do you guys think?

Nothing can beat the feeling after a microblading annual refresher 😍⁣ ⁣ I have my clients come back every 1-2 years to refresher their brows.⁣ ⁣ Over time internal and external factors will cause the microblading pigment and hair strokes to slowly fade. ⁣ ⁣ An annual refresher is needed to give that color back to the brows and some nice crisp hair strokes.⁣ ⁣ Who wouldn’t want brows that they only had to worry about twice a year ?!⁣

Some clients come in with already decent looking brows.⁣ ⁣ They have some what of a shape , some thickness, and you can over all see there is an eyebrow…..⁣ ⁣ BUT look at how much a little bit of microblading changes just a decent brow into a bomb ass brow 💣🔥.⁣ ⁣ This is why I am OBSESSED with microblading.⁣ ⁣ You can add as much as you want to make a dramatic transformation or you can keep it simple and soft and just perfect the eyebrow.⁣ ⁣ No matter what the client needs or wants the end result will always be a natural brow suited just for them 💖⁣

What is a combo brow ? A combo brow is a combination of microblading and shading. I use the microblading to fill the eyebrow with realistic hairstrokes to keep the eyebrow natural looking. I then use a small machine to shade in the eyebrow( lightly). I do this to help create density to the eyebrow.

Nothing beats the fresh look of microblading hair strokes. Now be honest can you even tell which hairs are real and which hairs are tattooed?

HE IS BACK !!!🔥🔥 This is my client Mark, you guys may have remembered his picture from a few years ago. My client Mark suffers from alopecia on and off. Sometimes he has eyebrows that fully grow back and other time they completely fall out. He’s back to a stage where he has lost almost all his eyebrow hair again so we’re doing another microblading session a few years later. This is an example of why it’s so important to be able to work on both female and male clients. We often forget that microblading is much more than just a beauty service. This service helps restore confidence back to so many people. ❤️❤️❤️

Afraid microblading your brows might make them TOOOOO DARK !? Every session I create a specific color to match my clients natural eyebrow hair color. Not just that but I also take in consideration the clients skin tone and undertones. Once I mix the color I swach it on my clients forehead for their approval. No one leaves my salon with a microbladed brow color they don't like. I will always work with my clients and let them see what I am doing before I do it. Did this help ease anyones mind with the microblading process and to help pull the trigger on microblading? If you'd like feel free to message me a picture of your current brows to give you an idea on what color I would suggest. 😀

Microblading Annual Refreshers My clients come back about every 12-18 months to get their microblading touched up. These annual refreshers are used to freshen up the over all color and bring back the crisp look to the microbladed hair strokes. What do you guys think of this annual refresher ? ❤️ If you ever have any questions regarding the microblading process please send me a message!

HEALED brows before my clients 6-8 week touch up. Look at how soft and natural they look even before we completed the touch up.
