The Consultation
A consultation for a microblading procedure typically involves several steps to ensure that you understand the process, feel comfortable with me, and achieve your desired results. Here’s what you can expect during our consultation:
Introduction
- I’ll ask you about your reasons for wanting microblading, your expectations, and any specific concerns or preferences you have.
- You can explain to me what you want to achieve to help me understand your vision.
- I’ll inquire about your medical history, including any allergies, skin conditions, medications, or past procedures that might affect the microblading process.
- I’ll examine your skin type and condition to determine suitability.
- Patch Test: I recommend a small patch test to be done at least 48 hours before the procedure to reduce the risk of experiencing an allergic reaction to the pigment.
- Step-by-Step Overview: I’ll explain the microblading process, including pre-procedure preparation, the actual microblading session, and post-procedure care.
- Pain Management: I will use a numbing cream to minimise any discomfort.
Design and Shaping

- Your Approval: You’ll review the drawn shape and give feedback. I’ll make adjustments until you’re satisfied.
Colour Selection
- Pigment Choice: I’ll present different pigment options and recommend a shade that matches or complements your natural brow color and skin tone.
Aftercare Instructions
- Detailed Guidelines: I’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions, including what to do and avoid in the days following the procedure to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
- Aftercare products: I’ll provide an aftercare products, such as ointments or creams, to aid in healing.

Scheduling and Paperwork
- Appointment Scheduling: If you decide to proceed, we’ll schedule an appointment for the microblading session.
- Consent Forms: You’ll review and sign consent forms acknowledging your understanding of the procedure, risks, and aftercare. I will provide you with a copy of the consultation form electronically so that you have all the aftercare details to hand, as there is a lot to remember!
Payment and Follow-up
