Hi there!

Thanks for booking with Blade – We are excited to transform your brows!

Prior to your appointment, we would like to familiarize you with what to expect. Because no one likes nasty brow surprises. As you will see, the information provided is quite different for Nanobrows (machine strokes) and microblading.

We will match the colour of your hair however we may use a slightly darker shade. Why? Because the colour will fade 1-2 shades lighter once it is healed. Furthermore, your brows will look quite dark for the first few days – this is all part of the normal healing process.

Please do not wax/shape/tint the brows unless this is done at least 2-3 days prior to your microblading session. It is preferable that you have your brows tidied/threaded/waxed prior to your appointment, and clients with blonde hair will usually benefit with a tint, of course this would ideally be maintained every six weeks.

Botox should be done at least two weeks prior to your microblading session, or one week after. Please advise if you need to reschedule if you are unwell.

Microblading can be done two weeks either side of vaccinations. Avoid excessive sun exposure, and strong facials within a week of your appointment. These can aggravate your skin and make it more sensitive.

Payment: Cash, Bank Transfer

We look forward to seeing you, thanks for choosing BLADE.

NANOBROWS - new clients only

PRE-APPOINTMENT FOR NANOBROWS TECHNIQUE (Machine Strokes) : As above, but also need to off blood thinners (with GP permission) for 48 hours, no fish oil. Alcohol and caffeine are ok unless you are normally a bleeder or normally have flushed skin, then they are best to be avoided as well.

AFTERCARE FOR NANOBROWS TECHNIQUE : For the first week only, please wash the brows twice a day with a gentle face wash (Cetaphil, Cerave), gently pat to towel dry, and apply a very thin layer of Bepanthen ointment (provided). No sweating. No swimming/spa/sauna. Shampoo twice in the first week - you may want to shampoo before your apppointment. Shower as normal. After the first week you may return back to usual activities.

I will go through more information on the day regarding aftercare instructions. The information provided applies once again when you come for your touch up session 8 weeks later.

Important! Some redness and slight itching during healing process post procedure is normal.  Luckily allergic reactions are extremely rare however if you experience anything else abnormal (e.g. a lot of swelling or shortness of breath) then contact your local emergency clinic.

General advice for all Permanent Make-up Applications:         

One touch-up visit is free and must be scheduled for, and completed, at around 8 weeks post procedure.  You will lose your free touch-up if you fail to have it done in that time frame unless a special arrangement is made with your artist.  Most permanent makeup procedures are a two-step process.  Final results cannot be determined until the touch-up application is completed. The touch-up is intended to fill in any faded strokes caused by the healing and shedding process.  Annual touch ups (or thereafter) should only require one visit, but in some cases an extra visit at extra cost may be required as healed results cannot be guaranteed to be the same for each client.

Avoid the following for at least ONE WEEK: sweating, swimming, tanning, steam rooms, jacuzzi, laser/chemical peels, creams containing Hyaluronic acid, Retinol/ Retin-A or Glycolic/Lactic Acid (over your brows), excess alcohol, picking/peeling/scratching the area.
