Question 1

How long do semi-permanent brows last?

Accepted Answer

Twelve to eighteen months for most people. Skin type, sun exposure, and skincare routine all affect the rate of fade. Oilier skin and heavy sun exposure speed it up. Drier skin and careful protection slow it down. A top-up appointment at twelve to fifteen months refreshes the colour and shape if you want to maintain the look.

Question 2

Is the procedure painful?

Accepted Answer

Most clients describe it as a mild scratching sensation, not significant pain. I apply topical numbing before the procedure starts and reapply during if needed. Some areas of the brow are more sensitive than others. We'll talk through what you can expect for your specific brows during the consultation before any pigment goes in.

Question 3

Will my brows look unnaturally dark afterwards?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in the first week. Brows look noticeably darker and more defined than the final result will be. This is normal and expected. The initial intensity comes from pigment sitting at the surface before your skin's natural processes settle it. By week four to six, the true colour shows through and looks like the result we agreed during mapping.

Question 4

Can I have semi-permanent brows if I'm pregnant?

Accepted Answer

No. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are on my contraindication list, alongside active skin conditions on the brow area, recent Botox or filler in the brow region (wait six weeks), known allergic reactions to pigments, and history of keloid scarring. I'll always check before booking. If you're unsure whether something applies, message me first.

Question 5

What's the difference between microblading and semi-permanent brows?

Accepted Answer

Microblading is one specific technique that creates fine hair-like strokes using a manual blade tool. Semi-permanent brows is the broader category including microblading, powder brows, ombré shading, and combination approaches. I describe what I do as semi-permanent because the pigment fades on schedule rather than being a true tattoo. The right technique for you depends on your brow type and the look you want.

Question 6

How do I prepare for the appointment?

Accepted Answer

Avoid alcohol for twenty-four hours before. Skip caffeine the morning of the appointment. Don't tweeze, wax, or tint your brows for two weeks before so I can see your true natural shape. If you take blood thinners or aspirin regularly, mention that during booking - we may need to adjust timing or technique. Eat a proper meal before arriving.
