  • What is Microblading and Permanent Makeup?
    Microblading and Permanent Makeup are to also referred as cosmetic tattoos and feathering, however, they are not similar to traditional tattoos. These techniques include a process where pigment is implanted beneath the first layer of the skin, using either a manual microblade tool, or a permanent makeup machine. Microblading produces realistic hair strokes in the pattern of your own eyebrow hair growth, whereas other permanent makeup procedures, such as Ombré Powder, use a machine method to produce tiny pixels in the skin to resemble soft shading. Other permanent makeup techniques include: lip blush tattoo, eyeliner tattoo, freckles, etc.
  • Is the Procedure Painful?
    Each procedure is different in terms of pain level, as different areas are being treated. However, at Precision Studio & Academy, we use medical grade anesthetic BEFORE and DURING the procedure in order to reduce the pain and ensure that your experience is as comfortable as possible.
  • What is the Downtime and How Long is the Healing Process?
    Depending on the area being treated, the downtime varies, however you are still able to continue on with your day after your appointment as redness and swelling usually subsides within 2-3 hours after the procdure. Each individual is unique in terms of their healing as everyone's body reacts differently to permanent makeup procedures. On average, the standard time for most permanent makeup procedures is between 5-7 days. However, in certain cases, the skin of the area being treated may require up to 14 days to heal. During your initial session, your technician will thoroughly explain each stage of the healing process and give you precise answers after analyzing your skin.
  • How Often Do I Need A Touch-Up?
    This varies between each individual, depending on skin type, lifestyle, etc. In permanent makeup (ie. lip blush, permanent eyeliner) touch-ups are generally reccomended every 1-3 years to refresh the colour. Microblading requires touch-ups every 1-2 years, however, some clients may feel that they require a touch-up after 6 months. Depending on your skin type, your lifestyle activities (ie. tanning, exercising) can affect your retention. Wearing sunscrean on the treated area, and generally taking good care of your skin will help maintain retention.
  • How Long Does The Procedure Take?
    Each procedure takes roughly 2-3 hours depending on the area being treated and the complexity of each case. For example, those with less natural hairs on their eyebrow area, or those with hyperpigmentation on the lips will generally require more time. Please allow a 3-3.5 hour window in order to ensure that nothing is rushed.
  • What Should I Expect During The Healing?
    During the first 2-3 days after the procedure, the area being treated will look bold and more pronounced than usual. This is completely normal, as your body is attempting to reject the pigment and therefore it is being pushed to the surface of your skin. Over the next few days, your body will begin to heal the area, and therefore you will go through a "sunburn" phase. The area treated (ie. eyebrows/lips) will begin to scab and flake. Eventually, the flakes will all fall off and the colour will lighten by about 40-60%. Once again, this is NORMAL. Any pigment loss in the treated area will be completed once you return for the touch-up session. This is also when you can tweak the shape or colour.
  • Will Microblading Damage My Eyebrow Hair?
    Microblading is a very safe procedure when it is performed by the right technician. It will not damage the hair or the follicle. It is extremely important to choose your microblading artist wisely in order to avoid any damage to your skin, and most importantly any scarring.
  • What is Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)?
    Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a medical grade application technique which disposes pigment into the deep layer of the epidermis on the scalp. This technique mimics hair follicles in the scalp, which allows for the appearance of a recently shaved head. However, not only is this technique available for men, but for women as well! Scalp Micropigmentation can also be used to treat areas where women are experiencing excessive hair loss. The small pixels into the skin allow for the area to look full and dense.
  • Is This Treatment Affordable?
    Scalp Micropigmentation is the most affordable solution for men and women who are suffering from hair loss. Our pricing is based on the level of hairloss, and size of treated area, which generally varies between each client. We recommend setting up a FREE consultation so specialist can evaluate your case and provide you with a personalized price quote and answer any questions you may have.
  • How Many Treatments Should I Expect?
    Please note that scalp micropigmentation is never a one step process. Most clients can expect at least 2-4 sessions to complete their treatment. Again, this depends on the extent of hairloss or scarring. These treatments are usually spaced out about 2-4 weeks apart.
  • What is A Lash Lift and Tint?
    A lash lift and tint is a technique designed in order to enhance the natural eyelashes of an individual. This treatment involves lifting the lashes from the root in order to produce perfectly curled eyelashes that mimic the result as if you had used a eyelash curler. The best part: black tint! This creates the illusion of full and thick lashes, while also looking like you have mascara on all the time. Please note: lash lift and tint procedure is NOT the same as eyelash extensions. There are no extensions being applied to your eyelashes, we simply lift and tint your natural eyelashes.
  • How Long Does it Last?
    This varies between each person, and depends on how well you are taking care of your eyelashes. However, in general, this procedure lasts between 4-6 weeks before your eyelashes begin to lose their curl and go back to their original state.
  • What is the Aftercare?
    1. Do not wet your eyelashes for the first 24 hours. 2. Avoid the sauna and excessive sweating for the first 24 hours. 3. Avoid rubbing your eyes. 4. Gently brush your lashes daily with a lash brush provided at your appointment. 5. Remove eye makeup gently with an oil-free remover.
  • Can I Still Wear Mascara?
    YES! However, only after the first 24 hours has passed after your treatment. In addition, please use a mineral or waterbased mascara only. NOTE: the use of water-proof mascara will weaken and damage the lift.
  • Can I Still Get This Treatment Done if I Use Latisse or Eyenvy?
    Ofcourse! Any eyelash growth serum paired with a lash lift and tint creates beautiful results. In fact, the most dramatic lifts are seen with clients using a eyelash serum since their lashes are naturally so long.
