Your Complete Guide to Perfect Eyebrows: Microblading and Nanobrow Aftercare with Q&A


Let’s talk perfect eyebrows, babe. Achieving flawless, envy-inducing brows isn’t just a goal—it’s a lifestyle. If you’re ready to ditch the pencils, powders, and “oops, too much” moments, I’m here to help you elevate your brow game with expert microblading and nanobrow techniques.

With over eight years of experience, six certifications (yes, six—because excellence is non-negotiable), an award-winning track record, and thousands of happy clients, I know what it takes to create brows that slay 💁‍♀️. Whether you’re a newbie to semi-permanent makeup or a seasoned pro ready for a refresh, this guide has everything you need, from prep to aftercare.


Why Trust Me with Your Brows?

Let’s cut to the chase—here’s why I’m the brow artist you’ve been searching for:

  • Over 8 years of experience. I’ve been perfecting brows since before “on fleek” was a thing.

  • PhiBrows Accomplished Artist Award Winner. (Yes, I’m that good.)

  • Six certifications in Microblading, Nanobrows, Tattoo Removal, and Shading—some with multiple distinctions.

  • Thousands of services completed with zero infections or complications. That’s right, zero.

  • Dozens of apprentices trained who now slay brows across the industry.

  • Hundreds of 5-star reviews. (My clients don’t just love their brows—they love me 🖤.)

When you sit in my chair, you’re not just getting a service; you’re getting a transformational experience. Your perfect eyebrows are my priority, and I don’t settle for anything less than fabulous.


Before Your Service: Prepping for Perfection

Perfection starts before your appointment. Follow these prep steps to make sure your brows are ready for their big moment:

The Do’s:

  • Stay hydrated and eat a light snack before your appointment. Hungry + dehydrated = no fun for anyone.

  • Talk to your doctor if you’re on blood thinners or have a health condition that could affect healing.

The Don’ts:

  • No NSAIDs like Advil or Ibuprofen for 48 hours before your appointment.

  • Skip alcohol, smoking 🚬, and caffeine 48 hours prior (trust me, your brows will thank you).

  • No Botox, threading, or skin resurfacing at least two weeks before your service.

Preparation is key to achieving perfect eyebrows. Show up hydrated, fed, and ready to slay.


What to Expect During Your Appointment

Let’s get one thing straight: microblading and nanobrows are a process. Your brows will look darker and thicker for the first two weeks, which is 100% normal. Here’s the tea:

  • The Look: Expect your brows to appear 30% darker and thicker right after your appointment. Don’t freak out—they’ll fade beautifully.

  • The Feel: Absolutely pain free with the best topical anesthetics on the market! So relaxed, I guarantee you will love your nap!

  • Day of: Redness and swelling? Minimal. It’ll feel like a light sunburn. Pain? We use top-tier anesthetics, but if you’re sensitive, we’ll adjust.

  • The Results: About 20-30% of pigment will naturally fade during healing. Don’t panic—this is part of the process, and we’ll perfect everything at your touch-up.

Remember, achieving perfect eyebrows is a two-part treatment. We aim for 90% perfection at your first appointment, with touch-ups scheduled 4-8 weeks later to refine shape, tone, and density.


Aftercare: The Golden Rules for Perfect Eyebrows

Listen up, babe—aftercare is everything. Your healing journey determines how stunning your brows will look in the long run. Here’s the step-by-step breakdown:

Days 1-5: The Intensive Phase

  • Day 1 (Treatment Day): Wash your brows gently 4 times with lukewarm water and antibacterial cleanser. Pat dry with a lint-free towel and apply a thin layer of aftercare lotion.

  • Days 2-5: Gradually reduce washing frequency (Day 2 = 4 times, Day 3 = 3 times, etc.). Always apply lotion after cleansing.

Days 6-28: The Healing Phase

  • Avoid water, sweat 💦, sun exposure ☀️, and skincare products on the treated area.

  • Apply aftercare lotion every 8 hours to keep your brows hydrated.

  • Expect your brows to scab and lighten. Don’t pick at them—trust the process!


What to Avoid (Seriously, Don’t Do These Things)

If you want your perfect eyebrows to stay flawless, avoid the following like your ex’s Instagram:

  • No sun exposure or tanning for 30 days.

  • No picking, scratching, or touching your healing brows.

  • No Vaseline, Neosporin, or petroleum-based products.

  • No exercising or sweating for two weeks. (Gym who?)

  • No swimming, saunas, or soaking your face in the shower for three weeks.

Following these rules is non-negotiable if you want bomb results.


Touch-Ups and Long-Term Perfection

Your first touch-up is scheduled 4-8 weeks after your initial appointment. This is where we finesse the shape, tone, and density of your brows.

For maintenance, annual touch-ups keep your brows looking fresh for 12 months to 3 years. Have previous work or scarring? You may need more sessions to reach peak perfection.

Pro tip: If you’re not sure about your retention rate, send me a photo of your brows, and I’ll let you know what’s next.




Microblading Removal: For When You Want a Do-Over

Not happy with previous work (from someone else, obviously)? Removal is a safe, non-invasive way to lift pigment without leaving scars. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Most clients need 1-3 sessions for epidermal pigment and up to 8 for deeper dermal pigment.

  • You can return to normal life 24 hours after treatment—no scarring, no stress.

  • Avoid swimming, sun exposure, and saunas during the healing phase.
