With years of dedicated experience, top-rated microblading services, and a team of highly trained artists, we pride ourselves on pioneering microblading artistry in the North State.
What is Microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent makeup technique designed to enhance your eyebrows by creating fine, hair-like strokes that mimic natural brow hairs. Using a specialized handheld tool, our skilled artists deposit pigment into the superficial layers of the skin, resulting in fuller, more defined brows that perfectly frame your face.
What to Expect During Your Microblading Procedure
Your microblading appointment at Gild Beauty Bar begins with a thorough consultation where we discuss your desired brow shape, color, and style. Our artists will then customize a plan tailored specifically to your facial features and preferences.
During the procedure:
- A numbing agent will be applied to ensure your comfort.
- The artist will gently draw the desired brow shape as a guide.
- Using a fine blade, we carefully create individual hair strokes and deposit pigment.
- The entire process typically takes about 2 hours.
Afterward, you might notice your brows appear darker and more defined, but this will soften over the following days as the pigment settles. We prioritize your comfort and natural look, ensuring your new brows seamlessly blend with your existing features.
Pre-Care Tips for the Best Results
To ensure optimal results and a smooth healing process, we recommend the following pre-care instructions:
- Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements like aspirin or fish oil for 48 hours prior.
- Refrain from waxing, tinting, or threading your eyebrows at least 3 days before your appointment.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure or sunless tanning treatments on your brows.
- Stay well-hydrated and keep your skin moisturized leading up to your session.
Post-Care: How to Protect & Maintain Your New Microbladed Brows
Proper aftercare is essential for the best healing and longevity of your microblading results:
- Keep your brows dry for at least 7 days—avoid swimming, heavy sweating, and excessive moisture.
- Gently cleanse the area with a specialized aftercare ointment (we strongly recommend Aquaphor), once a day for 3 days.
- Do not pick or scratch at scabs or dry skin to prevent pigment loss.
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds to protect your healed brows.
- Schedule a touch-up appointment 6-8 weeks after the initial procedure to perfect your brows.
Following these simple steps helps your brows heal beautifully, with crisp, natural-looking strokes that last up to 1-2 years with proper maintenance.
