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 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.

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!

Microblading Tailored to Your Face and Style

The shape and color of a person’s eyebrow can completely change the way he or she looks. Because every face is unique, it is important to find an artist with a lot of experience in microblading and who has worked with clients who have similar eyebrow shape and coloring as you want.

Never feel afraid to ask to look at an artist’s portfolio and to see client reviews and testimonials before deciding if he or she is the right fit for you — after all, this is a semi-permanent tattoo that is on your face and you’ll want to go with someone who will give you the beautiful results you are looking for.

What to Look for When Choosing a La Jolla Microblading Artist

If you are looking for a microblading artist in the La Jolla area, it is important to do your research before making a decision. Just because an artist is located in La Jolla, it does not mean he or she has the skills and experience you need to give you the best results.

Some of things to look for when choosing an artist to work with include:

• Experience — never feel afraid to ask about an artist’s experience (questions to ask include: How long have you been microblading? Are you licensed? How many clients have you worked with? Can I see your portfolio and client reviews?)
• Cleanliness — most artists will allow you to schedule a free consultation prior to scheduling the actual service. This is important because you can check out the facility during the consultation to make sure it is clean and that they are taking proper precautions to ensure your safety.
• Experience with eyebrow shapes similar to what you are looking for — this is very important! If you are looking for a particular shape or color, you will want to make sure you find someone who has worked with clients who have similar brows as you. Of course no one will have the exact brow you are looking to achieve, but this will give you peace of mind that your artist has the right skill set to give you the shape you desire.
• Attention to detail — something to keep in mind when choosing your artist is how he or she pays attention to detail. When you are in the consultation do you feel like he or she is fully answering your questions and listening to exactly what you want to achieve? Or is he or she distracted or rushing through the consultation? You will want to make sure he or she is listening and paying attention to exactly what you want and makes you feel like he or she hears you and is going to give you the results you are looking for.

So, How Safe Is It?

Microblading is generally considered safe and most people who get it done do not experience problems. But, as with any procedure, there are risks that you should be aware of before you choose to go through with it.

First of all — what exactly is microblading? The term “microblading” refers to a type of semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo in which a technician uses a tool with a tiny needle to draw in eyebrow hairs. The technician uses the tool to make tiny cuts in the skin and fills them in with color to create a richer, fuller brow. The tattoo itself usually lasts about a year.

What are the Risks?

Possible risks you should know about and discuss with your technician beforehand include:

• Infection — there is always a small risk of infection, as with any procedure. You could be at risk for infection if the technician doesn’t properly sterilize the equipment or uses dirty water – easily preventable by using an experienced technician. The risk for infection is low and is most always avoided by ensuring you choose an artist who follows clean and safe practices.
• Allergic reaction — some people develop allergic reactions to the ink itself. This is very rare, but can happen and is easily treated. Signs of allergic reaction include red, itchy skin and rash. Your doctor will likely prescribe a steroid or antihistamine.
• Granulomas — this is rare, but some people develop inflammatory knots around the brow area (called granulomas). This sometimes occurs months or even years after the procedure.

Eyebrow microblading, which uses a tiny needle and ink to create hair-like strokes for fuller, richer brows, is the latest beauty trend. While sparse eyebrows were a thing of the 90s, people are now longing for thicker, fuller, darker brows. When your brows are fuller and darker, they make more of a statement and draw more attention to the eyes.

While $600 (even $475) may seem like a lot, it is completely worth it! You will no longer have to fill in your eyebrows every morning before going out into the public. You simply wake up with full, dark, stunning brows that you don’t have to touch up at all! You can also go to the pool and the beach and never have to worry about your eyebrows wiping off in the water.

Initial Microblading Procedure

The initial procedure will typically cost about $600. The day of the procedure you will want to use a gentle cleanser to thoroughly clean the area to prevent infection or irritation. You may consider using a gentle exfoliant to clean dead skin off the area but be careful not to over exfoliate as this could leave the skin unprotected. Make sure to moisturize after cleaning the skin to protect the skin and allow the ink to set in. Overly dry skin will not take the color as well as hydrated skin and may cause irritation.

Your technician will walk you through the proper steps to ensure your color sets properly and you get the best results possible. This will help the results to last so you don’t have to have as many future touch ups.

Six Month Touch Up

Usually when you first get your brows tattooed, you will go through the peeling process (like a typical tattoo) and you may experience fading in certain spots. Every person is different, and the ink settles different in each person’s skin type and color. We usually suggest a touch up after 6 weeks to fill in the areas where significant fading occurs. This is $50.

One Year Touch Ups

The full effects of microblading usually lasts about 1-2 years. Most clients come in for touch ups after one year, but some people don’t need to that soon. It depends on how the ink settles in your skin and how fast it fades. One-year touch ups are not full microblading services, so they are much quicker and the healing process is much quicker than the initial procedure. One-year touch ups cost $325 at A. Samara Beauty.

In an effort to help prepare you, we have compiled some tips:

Things to Avoid Before Your Procedure

There are some things you should avoid during the days leading up to your procedure, including:

• Direct exposure to the sun — you do not want a sunburn or to be peeling at the time of the procedure as this may cause extra irritation to the area. Dry or peeling skin will also affect the color of the tattoo and may cause it to be uneven.
• Avoid medications that can cause the blood to thin for at least 48-72 hours before the procedure — these include Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E or Advil/Ibuprofen.
• Avoid fish oil and any hair or nail supplements for 48 hours before as well.
• Do not drink coffee or anything with caffeine the day of the procedure.
• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before.

Things to Do the Day of the Procedure

Your artist will guide you through the steps of what to do the day of the procedure. A reputable microblading artist will make sure to thoroughly clean the area to prevent irritation or infection. However, you should use a gentle cleanser to clean the eyebrow area before going in. You may even consider lightly exfoliating the night before, but do not over exfoliate as it could leave the skin thin and unprotected.

After gently removing dirt and bacteria from the skin, you should properly moisturize! This is an especially important step that people often forget. Adding moisture adds a protective layer to the skin and makes it healthy. Overly dry skin may not take the color as well tends to be more irritable.

What to Do After the Procedure

Post procedure care is pertinent to your results. The following are some definite dos following microblading:

• Keep ointment such as Aquaphor on the area for 7 days following the procedure to make sure it is protected and that it properly heal. The ointment will provide a protective layer.
• Do not scrub or pick at the brow area even if it scabs.
• Do not wear makeup until your artist says it’s OK.
