PRECARE
Microblading Procedure:
PhiBrows Microblading is a hyperrealistic technique of drawing eyebrows manually using microblading. PhiBrows is one of the most popular beauty treatments today thanks to the range of benefits it provides to the clients. The procedure consists of 30 minutes of numbing time, measuring out the brow shape according to the golden ratio and 3-4 passes on each brow of the treatment itself. The treatment is done using a u-shaped blade made up of multiple micro needles to create hair like stokes. This blade is dipped in a pigment chosen to match your natural colour perfectly. 4-6 weeks after your initial treatment a touch up is required. The brows should then last 12-18 months before coming for a touch up.
Microblading prep:
Preparing for your microblading appointment is equally as important as your aftercare in ensuring your brows will last and the process goes smoothly! Microblading typically takes around 2 full hours to preform, so please ensure you are prepared to be here for the full amount of time!
Before your appointment avoid botox treatments for 3 weeks prior, chemical peels for 60 days prior, Retinols/Retin-A or other antiaging/acne creams or serums containing acids for 7 days prior, working out/sweating heavily the day of the procedure, tanning or having a sun burned face the day of the procedure, alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours prior, and waxing or tinting your brows 3 days prior to your appointment. Stop taking aspirin, niacin, vitamin E, fish oil, CoQ10 and ibuprofen for 48 hours before procedure.

Lash prep+ fill information/foreign fill info:
Preparing for your lash appointment is very simple! Please arrive with clean lashes (no mascara or makeup on lashes), avoid drinking caffeine before your appointment and expect to be here for around 2 hours for a full set or around an hour for a fill. For any fills please ensure you have a minimum of 40% of lashes remaining. If there is under 40% of lashes remaining this will be a full set.
If you are a new client coming from a different lash artist for a fill the expectations are the same in regards to remaining amount of lashes! Booking a fill coming from a different artist can be booked the same as a regular fill.
POSTCARE
Microblading aftercare:
First 7 days
After receiving your microblading treatment the healing process begins immediately. Clients should allow a full 14 days of healing with the first 7 days being the most important.
30 minutes after undergoing microblading, gently cleanse your brows until there are no traces of pigment or lymph on your wipes. This will aid in preventing scabs. After cleansing your brows, apply the phi cream provided to you at your appointment. This process should be repeated 3-5 times during the day. If you download the Phiapp as a customer you can set an alarm that will remind you to do this process on time.
Over the next 6 days cleansing the brows is not needed as there will be no more lymph or traces of pigment. However you must still apply the phi cream 3-5 times each day. If you have extremely oily skin it is recommended to only use the phi cream for the first day and only as needed on the remaining 6 days if you find your brows are beginning to dry out too much.
It is important to avoid any other creams, makeup in the eyebrow region, saunas, facial massages, and exercise that causes excessive perspiration for the first 7 days. For the full 14 days following treatment avoid any direct sun on your brows to prevent fading.
Next 30 days
In the 30 days following treatment it is important to avoid light (laser) therapy, chemical peels, fruit acids, microdermabrasion, botox treatments, and any creams that contain regeneration factors.
Aftercare is key in ensuring your brows will last.
When to book your touchup + what to expect:
After your initial Phibrows treatment, a 4-6 week touchup must be done. The touchup is to perfect and ensure your brows last. It is very important to come on time for your touchup! The touchup is essentially the same process as the initial appointment, where I will go over each individual stroke. I recommend booking your touch up at your initial appointment with me or as soon as you’re able to ensure you get in on time.

Lash aftercare information:
In regards to aftercare, lashes are quite simple to care for. Wash and brush your lashes daily with a lash cleanser (available for purchase at my studio), do not pick, pull, twist or tug at your lashes, avoid water, steam or saunas for at least 24 hours after your appointment, avoid any oil based products on your face , never wear mascara on your lashes and always prebook your fills to ensure you are in on time. Caring for your lashes is the only way to have long lasting retention and avoid any harm to your natural lashes. Remember, these are each individually attached to your natural lashes and any harm you cause to your extensions (ex. pulling or tugging) will affect your natural lash!
