Permanent cosmetics, a procedure also known as permanent makeup or microblading is applied by a gifted practitioner that can give you the polished glamour of professionally applied makeup that will never flake, smudge or run, stay with you day and night and last for years.
At a fraction of the cost of plastic surgery, permanent makeup can instantly take years off your appearance, bring out and enhance your best features and correct minor and not so minor flaws and skin imperfections. Many entertainers, actresses and models have used it to maintain their polished, seemingly flawless appearance.
Microblading or 3D eyebrows is a form of semi-permanent makeup. To apply this technique, we use a tool that has many fine scalpel-like needles to apply the ink rather than a traditional tattooing machine, allowing us to create a natural-looking brow with short, ultra-fine micro lines that look like individual hairs. Pigment is implanted close to the surface of the outer layer of the skin, meaning the strokes are crisp and fine. The fine lines are applied in the same direction as the natural hair growth resulting in an appearance that is as close to a natural brow as possible.
Microblading fades after a while, but it can last up to 3 years. A Color booster treatment should be done within 12 to 18 months from the last visit and be repeated in that order to maintain beautiful look of your brows. Color booster is only for people that I have seen before. If you had work done somewhere else and you are coming to see me for the first time then please book 1st visit not a color booster.
If you have extremely thick oily skin, or you are a smoker the microblading may NOT work well for you but I am happy to do it for you as long as you have a realistic expectation. The constant production of oil will cause the hairstrokes to heal with a diffused, softer look.
Our talented team of artists provide everything from semi-permanent full lip treatments, microblading, semi-permanent eyeliner and eyelash extensions. We also offer tattoo removal for small tattoos.
Please Note: Consultation is done on the day of procedure and not as part of a separate appointment. Together, we will choose the style and color that works the best for you!
Touch Up: Typically, Microblading/Permanent Makeup is broken into two appointments, the 2nd appointment is a touch up, done 6 weeks after the initial visit. This touch up appointment is very important for the best results so please make sure you book it sooner rather than later.
Color Booster: Pigment fades over time. A Color Boost procedure are for clients who have had previous permanent makeup completed by High Brow, and need a refresher application of pigment to perk up their color.
When you make your appointment, you can come with your eyebrows penciled in so I can get an idea of how you like your eyebrows.
Microblading also known as 6D eyebrows, Eyebrow Embroidery, Eyebrow Feathering, Softap technique or Japanese method is a way of permanent makeup, where through manual process of inserting pigment into the upper layers of skin (upper layer of dermis) we create the desired fullness and shape of the eyebrows though natural looking strokes.
Microblading shading is a complementary procedure that is often done in combination with microblading, but it results in a completely different look. Microblading shading is a "stipling" technique where the microblade is pushed directly down against the skin (as opposed to pulling or dragging the microblade across your skin).
Ombre is permanent powdered brows technique for clients who prefer fuller result than hairstrokes but still very soft. It’s a technique which looks like daily makeup done with eyebrow pencil or eyebrow shadow. The tails of the brow are darker and fade into a light beginning to the brow, giving a perfect Ombre makeup affect. The effects will be waterproof, smudge-proof and completely natural.
Powder Brows is also permanent makeup, but it’s a totally different technique from Microblading. The Powder Brow technique punctures the skin with a needle to deposit the color. And the finished look is a ‘powdered brow,’ like you have used a pencil to fill it in, rather than individual hair strokes.
Exactly what it sounds like: a combination of microblading and powder fill. The combination of microbladed hair strokes and a powder fill gives an incredibly natural looking brow. It's a bit more defined and filled in than just straight microbladed brows, and a bit less solid and dramatic than the ombre powder fill.
Brow Lamination is the latest innovation in Brow Artistry that gives a full eyebrow shape in minutes, even on the most unruly & non-symmetrical of brows. Like a perm for your eyebrows, this procedure helps hold course hair in place and gives you a fluffy effect. This service comes with shaping, grooming, tinting and brow lamination that can last up to 2 months.

Eyelash extensions are used to enhance the length, curliness, fullness, and thickness of natural eyelashes. The main method of applying the extensions is by using an adhesive glue to stick the extensions to the eyelashes.

it looks exactly like a liquid eyeliner applied on the top of the eyelash line. The edges are well defined, sharp and clear.
Winged eyeliner - solid dark look with distinct edges finished off with a wing. Wing size is many times limited by the amount of space that I get to work with ( meaning the size/shape of your eyelid)
It creates an eyeliner/shadow combination that looks like eyeliner with a smokey eyeshadow. Few techniques are used to create it. More than one color can be used as well.
Smokey eyeliner- the finished "product" looks like an eyeliner that was applied with a pencil and smeared with a finger - leaving a smudgy/eyeshadow effect.

Permanent makeup lips is a breakthrough procedure. MicroArt technology is a system that creates beautiful, symmetrical lips. You have the option of creating a more youthful look as well as enhance or change color of your lips. Lips play a significant role in our physical and emotional life—the lips are one of the first things to look at – they surround your smile and exude your attractiveness, youthfulness, and even kissability.
New and softer take on a classic lipliner. It is no longer just a line surrounding your lip edges but an additional color is spread below the vermilion border- for a more natural look.
The whole lip area is fully saturated with pigment.
It is a mix of shaded lipliner and a classic lip look. The largest amount of pigment is placed closer to the edges of the lips and then delicately spread towards the inside of your lip.

This will allow me the most flexibility to achieve optimal results:
4 WEEKS BEFORE PROCEDURE
Discontinue Glycolics, Chemical Peels and Retin around treated area.
2 WEEKS BEFORE PROCEDURE
Stay away from any face acid products, check your makeup, creams, face wash for anything that says acid and stop using it! If you use Botox, it should be done 2 weeks before procedure.
1 WEEKS BEFORE PROCEDURE
Avoid sun and tanning, no brow tweezing, waxing or tinting.
4 DAYS BEFORE PROCEDURE
For LIP procedure you will need an antiviral prescription. Physician usually instructs to begin taking it 4 days before procedure, for a 7-10 day course.The stimulation from the needle can bring out cold sores and that can really ruin the procedure and make the healing process much worse.
24 HOURS BEFORE PROCEDURE
Please do not work out; do not use alcohol or caffeine; do not take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E; avoid power shakes and power greens, Fish Oil; Hair, Skin, Nail supplements.
Eyeliner procedure: DO NOT wear eyelash extensions and contact lenses during procedure, remember to bring your glasses with.
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR FOR APPROVAL OF THIS PROCEDURE IF YOU ARE TAKING MEDICATIONS OR HAVE A HISTORY OF ILLNESS!!! PREGNANT AND BREASTFEEDING LADIES CANNOT GET THIS PROCEDURE!!!
The day of the treatment: Absorb
After the procedure, gently blot the area with clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this every 5 minutes for the full day until the oozing has stopped. Removing this fluid prevents hardening of the lymphatic fluids.
Days 1-7:
Wash: Wash daily to remove bacteria, build up of product and oils, and dead skin. (Don't worry, THIS DOES NOT REMOVE THE PIGMENT!) Gently wash your eyebrows each morning and night with water and an antibacterial soap like Dial Soap, Cetaphil, or Neutrogena. With a very light touch, use your fingertips to gently cleanse the eyebrows. Rub the area in a smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with water ensuring that all soap is rinsed away. To dry, gently pat with a clean tissue. DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or exfoliants.
Moisturize: Apply a rice grain amount of aftercare ointment (Vaseline) with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated area. Be sure not to over-apply, as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin. NEVER put the ointment on a wet or damp tattoo.
Important Reminders:
Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 10 days, use a fresh pillowcase while you sleep.
DO NOT rub, pick, or scratch the treated area, let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate away. Picking can cause scarring or loss of color.
No facials, botox, chemical treatments or microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.
Avoid hot, sweaty exercise for one week.
Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for 4 weeks after the procedure. Wear a hat when outdoors.
Avoid long, hot showers for the first 10 days. Limit your showers to 5 minutes so that you do not create too much steam. Keep your face/procedure area out of the water while you wash your body, then, at the end of your shower, wash your hair. Your face should be getting wet only at the end of the shower. Avoid excessive rinsing and hot water on the treated area.
Avoid swimming, lakes, and hot tubs for the first 10 days,
Avoid topical makeup and sunscreen on the area for one week.
Remember, with the proper prep and aftercare routine, you will have much better results with your microblading procedure.
All permanent cosmetic procedures are a multi-session process. You are required to come back for at least one touch-up visit before it can be determined that your work is complete. Touch-up visits are scheduled at 6 week intervals or longer. Be prepared for the initial color intensity of your procedure to be significantly sharper, brighter, or darker than what is expected for the final outcome. It will take time to heal. Though rare, infection is possible. If you see signs of infection such as persistent increased redness or swelling, fever, drainage, or oozing, contact your doctor immediately. Pigments will slowly fade over time according to ones metabolism, skin type, sun exposure, medication, facial surgery, and smoking. Schedule maintenance visits as needed (color booster) to keep it looking fresh.
Show up to your appointment completely bare-faced
That includes not curling your lashes either if they’re curled, there’s a crease right by the root and it’s hard for the lash artist to apply the extensions—it won't be a smooth-finish job. Other things to avoid: mascara, waterproof eye makeup, oily skin care, and eye cream. You basically don’t want anything that’ll interfere with the glue. If you need to work out, go to the gym and take a shower in advance. You can’t get them wet for 24 hours post session because the adhesive has to dry completely. Avoiding waterproof eye makeup for up to a week before your appointment, because leaves an invisible film that will keep the lashes from adhering fully.
They WILL feel weird at first. It takes a day or two to get used to the feeling of wearing extensions, but I found them to be much more comfortable than strip lashes.
The general rule of thumb is to avoid anything too oily around your eyes.
