Although many people use the terms interchangeably, a beauty salon and a hair salon are different. Hair salons specialize in hair and generally only have a small offering of other services, while beauty salons employ specialists in many other areas like nail services, massage, and skin care.

Plan microblading around a less busy time to make sure you have time to care for your eyebrows properly. Showering takes longer since the brows can’t get wet during healing, and ointments are required for healing.
Did you know that even dry skin can produce excess oils when not properly moisturized? The staff can help you choose the right products for your skin type before beginning your facial.
If you have sensitive skin that easily bleeds, make sure you tell your eyebrow stylist before your eyebrow waxing begins. There maybe a salve or some kind of cream that your stylist can apply to your skin either before or after the waxing that can keep you from getting skin irritation.

Tight clothing may cause irritation and ingrown hairs after waxing. Hot baths and showers should be avoided for at least 10-12 hours after waxing, because the pores are opened up and are more vulnerable to infection and irritation.
Avoid medication or face cleansers that will make the skin sensitive up to 72 hours before microblading. With proper care taken, microblading will only feel like a threading session.
