Today I am finally sharing me second round of microblading. (You can read all about my first round here.)
A little info on microblading for anyone that has never heard of it or the process. Microblading is a semi permanent tattoo for your eyebrows. It doesn't go 7 layers deep like a normal tattoo which is why it's only semi permanent. (Microblading only goes 2 layers deep making it semi permanent.) It also requires 2 appointments the first time and then touchup appointments about once a year after that. I did my first appointment in May and went for my touchup about a month later.
I will start by telling you that my second appointment was very different from my first one. The second appointment is what my brow gal calls a "perfecting appointment". Basically making sure everything is dark enough and the shape is perfect after you're all healed.
We started the appointment with numbing just like we did the first time. This time she numbed me a little longer because during my first appointment I could feel a little bit on my right brow. Once I was all numbed we both decided that I should go darker. (I will always say my brows need to be darker. hah)
After that she went to work. This time things hurt a little more than the first time. One reason is because you have already been "cut" there and they are essentially cutting through scar tissue. The second reason it hurt was because I forgot to follow the rules and had some drinks the night before. I mentioned this in my first post and I would HIGHLY suggest you heed my warning and not drink alcohol or caffeine for 24 hours prior. Not only does it cause more pain for you, but it also causing more bleeding which isn't good either. (Fun fact: My right eyebrow bled soooo much and my left one barely bled at all. Clearly we know which one is the problem child.)
Once she was all done and my brows were perfect she sent me on my way with my aftercare. (I went straight to my office and was totally fine. No one had any idea.)
The aftercare was the same this time as the first time.
It's been about a month and a half and my brows are PERFECT!! I love them so much!!
She did tell me to get some brow gel since my brows are so blonde. I use it from time to time, usually when I'm going out or if I have something important going on at work.
I'm sure the big question you have is if I think it was worth it. My answer... ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY! I would spend the money again in a heartbeat. I know it's a little pricey, but for someone like me, I think it's 100% worth it. Eyebrows really add dimension to your face so when you don't have very prominent brows something like mircroblading makes all the difference.
If you are in the Jacksonville area I cannot recommend Cristal enough. You can check her out on Instagram here and make an appointment here.
