During the consultation, you can expect

Our consultations are thorough, tailored, and designed to ensure your comfort. They typically last about 30 minutes, allowing us to fully understand your needs and set you on the path to achieving your dream brows.

Inspiration Images

Bring any images that have caught your eye—whether from other brow artists, celebrities, or Instagram—as inspiration for your look. We will work with you to design brows that subtly enhance your natural beauty and suit your unique features.

Favorite Brow Pencil

If you have a favorite brow pencil, bring it along! It will help us understand the color and style you’re accustomed to and ensure we match or improve upon your preferred look.

Custom Brow Design

We take precise measurements of your facial profile to create a brow shape that complements your natural structure. We never use stencils or templates, as we honor your individual beauty and craft brows uniquely tailored to you.

Pre-Existing Work

If you have any pre-existing cosmetic tattooing, please send a photo of your current brows in advance so we can assess and advise on the best course of action.

Discussion of Contraindications

We will review any potential contraindications to ensure that permanent makeup is a safe and suitable option for you.

Step Inside

Preparing for Your Appointment

We’re thrilled that you’ve chosen Posh Permanent Makeup Experience to help enhance your natural beauty! To ensure you get the best results from your procedure, we ask that you carefully review our care instructions before your appointment. Proper preparation will help extend the longevity of your permanent makeup and ensure it heals beautifully.

Before Your Appointment

Avoid certain pain relievers:
Do not take Advil, Aspirin, or other over-the-counter pain relievers for three days before your appointment. Tylenol is okay to use.
No alcohol:
Avoid drinking alcohol for 24 hours prior to your appointment to prevent excess bleeding and sensitivity.
Menstrual cycle sensitivity:
Keep in mind that if you’re on your menstrual cycle, you may experience heightened sensitivity during the treatment.
Pre-appointment grooming:
- You may have your eyebrows waxed up to two days prior to the appointment.
- Brow tinting can be done up to one week before your appointment.
Avoid Botox, fillers, and certain skin products:
Refrain from using Botox, fillers, AHA products, or retinoids for 3-4 weeks before your procedure to ensure optimal results.
No advanced skin treatments:
Avoid laser treatments, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, microneedling, and other skin resurfacing procedures for six weeks before your appointment to protect the integrity of your skin.
Sun and tanning bed exposure:
Tanning beds, sun exposure, and pools can affect pigmentation retention and skin health during and after your service. Avoid sun exposure for four weeks before and after your appointment to ensure the best results.
Brow growth serums:
If you’re using Latisse or other brow growth serums, discontinue use for two weeks prior to your procedure, as they may interfere with pigment retention or increase sensitivity

AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS

Proper post-care is essential to the longevity and appearance of your new brows. Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure the best results.

Do not allow any lotion, soap, or makeup to touch your brows during the first 14 days after your procedure.

For the first 8 hours, use a damp cotton round to gently pat the treated area every 30 minutes to absorb any excess lymph.

Day 1 -7: In the morning and at night, gently cleanse your brows with water and soap. Allow them to air dry or blot dry gently with a clean towel. Apply a rice grain size amount of ointment is enough for both brows.

Before & After

Next slide

For the next 14 days, avoid the following:

Excessive sweating
Physical exercise or sports
Swimming
Hot saunas, baths, or Jacuzzis
Sun tanning or salon tanning
UV/UVA rays or chemicals, which can cause color shifting and premature fading
Laser treatments, chemical peels, or any creams containing Retin-A or Glycolic acid on the face or neck
Picking, peeling, or scratching the treated area to prevent scarring and pigment loss
Heavy household cleaning that may expose you to airborne debris (e.g., cleaning basements or garages)
Excessive alcohol consumption, as it may slow down the healing process
Driving in open-air vehicles such as convertibles, boats, bicycles, or motorcycles
Touching the eyebrow area, except when rinsing or applying post-care cream with a cotton swab

Additional Tips:

Wash your face carefully, avoiding the brow area. When showering, either keep your face away from the water or opt for a bath.
Itching and flaking may occur during the first seven days. However, with proper aftercare, these symptoms will typically resolve quickly.

What to Expect After Your Microblading Session

The entire healing process will take approximately 4-6 weeks, depending on your body’s natural regeneration and age. During this period, your new eyebrows will go through several phases:

Immediately after the procedure, the pigment will appear natural, but you will notice the color darken by the following day.
During the healing process, your skin will naturally regenerate. After the initial recovery phase (peeling), your brows may appear lighter than expected. This is normal and might give the impression of fading. However, even with proper care, some hair strokes may initially be lost, causing an uneven appearance. This can be addressed during your follow-up touch-up appointment.
As the skin heals, dandruff-like flakes or dry skin may form. This is part of the natural healing process and is the superficial pigment and skin being removed. The final look of your brows will become more apparent after about 30 days.
Never rub the treated area during the healing period, as it can disrupt the skin’s natural recovery.
Once fully healed, be sure to apply sunscreen (SPF 30-50) to your eyebrows when exposed to the sun. Sun exposure can cause the pigment to fade prematurely.
When applying foundation after healing, take care to avoid your eyebrows, as foundation covering them may cause the pigment to appear lighter.
