Microblading can be a wonderful career for people in the beauty industry who love to help clients feel confident and beautiful in their own skin. But, before you decide to jump into a training program, it is important that you do the work to choose the RIGHT microblading class to set you up for success.

I’ve been seeing a ton of 2- or 3-day microblading training courses pop up lately because people feel like they can make better money at training than actually providing the microblading service (which is much harder to do). So, before you sign up for a quick training session, it is important to realize this is an exceedingly difficult and intricate skill to learn so you want to be sure you receive the right training from the right instructor so you are not left confused and unprepared.

Think about it — most tattoo artists are required to apprentice for two years before they can even touch human skin with a needle. Although this is different, it is important that you learn the proper techniques and that you understand all the potential issues that may arise with clients before they actually do.

Tips for Choosing the Right Class

OK, so next step—how do you choose the right microblading class? Well, it may take time and it will not be cheap. But here are a few tips that may help your process:

• Choose an instructor with experience. I’ve seen these courses pop up from instructors with very little experience and that is not what you want. To be sure you are learning from the best, you will want to go with an instructor who has at least two years of experience in microblading. It is also important to look at his or her portfolio to be sure your style fits with theirs. Reviews are also important! Look for client testimonials and reviews to make sure he or she is someone who can teach you the tips and tricks you need to know to make a range of clients happy.
• What does the course look like? Before choosing a class, it will be important to know how many days of training there will be and what the agenda looks like. The key thing to look for is a course that offers a comprehensive, in-depth agenda.
• What happens once the course is over? It is also important to find a course that offers continued support after the program is over. Just know it is common to feel overwhelmed and full of questions when the training is over, so it is important to go with an instructor who will provide ongoing support and a space where you can continue to ask questions and seek help.
• Practice on live models is key! When you are choosing a microblading class, make sure you will be able to practice on a live model. It is so important to touch as much skin as you can and get as much practice in before asking to be paid.

If you are considering taking courses to become a microblading artist, there are a few things you should think about before starting the program.

First, it is especially important to recognize your ability to be a perfectionist. Microblading is an incredibly detailed, precise service that takes time and focus. It is not something that can be rushed. So, before you dive into a microblading training course, you should really think about whether it is truly something that will be enjoyable for you to do.

It is also important to choose a program that feels right for you. Not all microblading training courses are taught the same — some are strictly online while others are in-person, offering more one-on-one attention. You should also make sure you check out the instructor’s work ahead of time to determine if his or her style matches your own.

Some other things to think about before starting your microblading courses include:

• Practice makes perfect! Sound cliché? Well, it’s not. It’s true, especially in this field. It’s totally normal to feel eager to start on your first actual client after completing the course. But, even when you think you are ready, you should practice a few more times to really gain the confidence in your abilities. Your client will feel your confidence and that will make her or him feel confident in the process as well.
• Be prepared to take detailed notes and practice everything you learn. It may sound silly to be told to take notes, but it’s really important to take detailed notes as you are going through the training. It is also important to practice what you learn each night so you can retain the information and really develop the proper techniques while training is fresh in your mind.
• Not every eyebrow will be shaped the same, so it is important to learn the proper technique to create the right shape for each individual face. This is a skill you must learn to perfect before starting on paying clients, so make sure to really pay attention to this during training and ask questions if you have them!
• When you are choosing your microblading course, make sure that you will have great support after the course is over. Choosing an instructor who will continue to support you and will be available for questions post-training is important so you can continue to feel confident in your new skill and develop more techniques.

Before you dive into a microblading course, it is important to do your research to make sure it is something you really want to do and believe you can do. It is equally important to find the right instructor with the right training course for you. Don’t just choose a course that is fast or cheap — really make sure it is a course that will help you become the best microblading artist possible.

Microblading Near YOU!

When it comes to a semi-permanent procedure on your face, it is important to not settle for just the closest salon near you. However, how far is too far to drive?

Microblading has only been in the US for 6 years, and now it seems like everybody you know has had it done. It definitely is a HUGE trend, and as it has gained popularity, it has become more accessible to everyone. Several of my clients share stories of traveling all the way to Los Angeles from San Diego and neighboring areas just to get microblading done, but the good news is that today, microblading can be found near you!

Microblading San Diego By A. Samara Beauty often has clients coming in from San Diego and neighboring areas such as Chula Vista, Del Mar, El Cajon and more. We are located in Downtown, and are an easy drive away from the majority of San Diego suburbs. We also have free downtown parking for our clients to make it as easy of an experience as possible.

Initial appointment takes about 2.5 hours, and the touch up takes about 1.5 hours, therefore for the first full procedure it takes two sessions. Therefore making a trip more than 45 minutes away can get overwhelming! Thankfully with the increase in popularity and demand there is an increase in artists.

Each area has its own style, so finding somebody near you that specializes in the style you’re looking for can be such a relief! You will ideally be building a long term relationship with your artist so making sure it is comfortable in both the aesthetic and accessibility is a win/win situation! Los Angeles trends yield big, fluffy brows. I see this happening more often to mimic the “model brow” look that Cara Delvign and others are rocking. San Diego, Chula Vista, and neighboring areas have a more conservative, day to day perfection style. Microblading San Diego by A. Samara Beauty specializes in the “Naturally Perfect” brow. We do just the right amount of width and density to suit YOUR face, because although big trendy brows are beautiful, it is all about timeless beauty for such a semi-permanent procedure.

Take a look at more of our signature “Naturally Perfect” brows on our instagram (@a.samarabeauty)! No more need to drive over 2 hours and be stuck in LA traffic anymore.

Microblading has quickly become one of the hottest trends in the beauty industry. More and more women and men are jumping on the train, seeking beautiful, full brows. As it becomes more popular, estheticians who are passionate about helping people feel confident and beautiful in their own skin are taking courses to become microblading artists.

Thin and sparse eyebrows were all the rage in the 90s. Every decade has its own iconic look. Remember how popular Madonna’s signature look in Like a Virgin was in the 1980s? Drew Barrymore became a big deal in the 1990s and everyone wanted brows like her. Now thanks to Cara Delevingne, many of us are obsessed with eyebrows and want them to be fuller and bolder. Her eyebrows are one of the signatures looks this decade is known for.

If you want the perfect brows without all the work of brow makeup, microblading might be for you. It is a more permanent answer for sparse and over-plucked brows. So, if you have been looking for the best microblading salon in Chula Vista, you have landed in the right place.

If you’re considering microblading for fuller, thicker-looking eyebrows, you are not alone! More and more people are jumping on the train and taking advantage of the latest beauty trend every single day. Whether you have thin, light, patchy brows or even if you already have full brows and just want them to be a little more refined, microblading may be the answer.

As you begin your microblading journey, it is important to properly prepare yourself for the aftercare to avoid infection and to make sure you heal properly and with the best possible results. While there is no actual downtime, it is important to note the skin may be red, irritated and scab for up to two weeks. 

If you’re in or near the El Cajon area and are considering microblading, we can discuss the proper aftercare with you.

The following aftercare tips are suggested to achieve the best results:

• Do not wear makeup around the area for at least ten days.

• Do not itch or rub the scabbing area — this could result in scarring or uneven healing.

• Do not wet or wash the area.

• If you have excess liquid in the first 24 hours, you can dab the area lightly with sterile gauze, but do not use soap or water.

• Apply Aquaphor (or the ointment given to you by your technician) four days after the procedure to help soothe. You can apply once in morning and once at night but make sure the skin has time to heal properly during the day so don’t over apply.

• Do not exercise or engage in activities that would cause you to sweat excessively.

• Avoid going in the pool, spa or sauna.

• Avoid direct sunlight or tanning beds.

• Avoid excessive amounts of alcohol as it could slow the healing process.

• If the area continues to swell, scab or starts to puss after two weeks, you should visit your doctor immediately as these could be signs of infection.

Maintenance Tips for El Cajon Microblading 

After you are fully healed, you should take care of your skin to ensure long lasting results. Keep sunscreen on the area to avoid fading from the sun. 

You are considered to be healed within about two weeks, but the true color will not surface until about week 4/5. When this occurs, your technician will likely recommend that you come back for a “touch up” which will only take about 15 minutes and will add in the final color to complete your new perfect brows. 

Phases During Healing

It is important to note that during the healing process, you may experience several different phases. For example, the day after the procedure your brows may appear exceptionally dark. 

Once the peeling starts, however, the pigment may lighten dramatically and may seem spotty in some areas. This is why its important to keep in mind the true pigment will not surface until week four or five. And this is also why you may need a touch up around week six to give you an even beautiful brow you can be extremely satisfied with!

Full and bold eyebrows have become of the most lusted after facial features. However, not everyone is born with the perfect fully arched eyebrows and others are still recovering from the days of over-tweezing and plucking. If you are the one tired of having to do your eyebrows anytime you go out, you may want to consider microblading as it can give you the bold brows of your dreams.

This procedure is currently exploding in Chula Vista and with good reason, you won’t have to do your eyebrows again for up to 3 years. That’s many months of waking up and not even touching your eyebrows at all. What else do you need?

Are considering microblading but want to know about the cost. Is it expensive? Is it worth it?

How Much Does Eyebrow Microblading Cost?

The most important thing about microblading is being satisfied with the salon and stylist you have chosen. You need to select a licensed, reputable, and experienced eyebrow microblading specialist. Also, ensure the pricing are clear and that all costs are talked about before any work is started. They should be able to give you an estimate for the procedure and how many additional touch-ups will be required.

The average price for microblading is $350 to $1000 depending on the specific style, procedure, specialist, and the length of time to complete the treatment. The cost can also vary with location. Microblading cost in Chula Vista and the entire San Diego area don’t have to be expensive with A. Samara Beauty centrally located and within reach of anyone.

Touch-Up Microblading Price

The touch-up is done after 5 weeks of the initial procedure. This process will help to retain the dye coloration and fill any spots, and to redraw any faded strokes. It is recommended not to miss your touch-up because it is needed to have that perfect look for many months to come. The touch-up price varies from $50-$200 depending on what your specialist charges. Many times, the touch-up cost is already included in the initial payment, but sometimes it is charged separately from the first session. So, you need to ask your specialist before starting the initial procedure.

So, this is an overview of the cost of microblading. However, you can look for microblading deals in Chula Vista to further cut the cost.

I’m sure you’ve been hearing the term “microblading” and you may even know someone who has had it done. But, what exactly is it and is it safe?

Microblading is a type of semi-permanent tattooing that involves tiny, fine-point needles which make small incisions in the brow area while simultaneously depositing pigment to form little hair-like tattoos. This procedure creates realistic-looking brow hairs that do not wash off. Unlike ink from a tattoo gun, this is not permanent and will fade over time.

While microblading is not permanent, it can last anywhere from 1-3 years depending on your skin type. Typically, the oilier the skin, the quicker it will fade. Most clients will need to go back for a touch up after one month as some of the initial pigment may fade, but after the initial touch up, you will likely be set for at least one year.

What to Expect at a Microblading Appointment

Your technician will go over the type of brow you desire and will draw the brow directly on to your face so you can see exactly what it will look like before he/she gets started. During this time, he or she will likely ask you to smile, laugh and frown to create a brow that matches the symmetry of your face.

Every face is different, so it is important that your brow fits your unique face structure. Your technician will work with you to create the thickness and darkness you desire to give you the full brow you’ve been wanting!

Your brow area will be numbed before treatment begins. Wait time for the numbness to kick in is usually about 30 minutes. While you are waiting, your technician will discuss after care with you and will be able to answer any questions you may have. After you are numb. Treatment begins and this will take about an hour. Then… your new brows will be revealed!

It is important to keep in mind that the initial tattoo will be darker than what it will fade to. It usually takes about a week or so to fade but it can take up to four weeks to see the final results. After it is healed, you will likely need a touch up to fill in the gaps of where excess fading occurs. A touch up appointment is typically scheduled 4-6 weeks after the initial appointment.

What You Should Do after the Appointment

It is important to follow the proper aftercare instructions provided by your technician to ensure proper healing and to reduce the risk of irritation or infection.

Some things to note include:

• Do not get your brows wet at all during the first week (we recommend not washing your hair and using face wipes or a damp wash cloth or sponge when washing your face to keep water from dripping on to the brow area)
• Do not touch your brows or rub or pick at the scabs
• Avoid saunas, pools and anything that may cause you to sweat
• Avoid direct exposure to the sun
• Do not apply makeup or moisturizer until your technician says its OK
• Apply the ointment provided by your technician during the healing process to keep the skin from drying out to create a protective barrier
• The area will be tender during the healing process, but it should not be overly painful

If you notice any signs of infection, contact your physician immediately. Signs may include excessive redness, puffiness, severe pain and or yellow discharge.

After your brows are healed, you will go in for your touch up and your technician will make sure you achieve the results you have been dreaming about! And then you can enjoy your new, full brows!
