microblading
Microblading is a form of permanent makeup, also known also as feathering, 3D brows or waterproof brows. It involves a microblade (a sharp specially designed handtool) and cosmetic tattoo pigments. Custom shaping also known as mapping and a color match is always included. Your brow design can be fierce and on point or subtle and natural. Annie uses a comprehensive pigment line that accommodate all hair color, red, grey, taupe, blonde, black and can be customized for every shade in between.
Let's talk healing! Brows are bold at application, however, heal into a soft hair like effect. This service is ideal for the client who have no brow hair, sparse brow hair or is looking for an improvement in their natural brow shape.
A second application is necessary at 6-8 weeks. Future color touchups are at an additional (discounted) cost. Microblading can last up to 2+ years if well cared for. You will always have some remnants of microblading despite faded pigments.
-Healing Expectations: healing can be emotional - reasonable expectations are something that we will discuss repeatedly! Initial application brows will be bright and bold with some redness, aftercare protocol is critical to follow & prevent infections. Within 1 week you will naturally form scabs, allow them to peel and flake as needed (not appealing), clouding then occurs (color fades), followed by a bloom (color reappears) around 6-8 weeks. Touchup time and repeat the cycle!
-Pigment options: red/auburn, blondes, taupe, grey, brown (light-dark) and black
-Brows do not get shaved for microblading
-Pigmentation retention does depend upon your aftercare and health (medications)
-Use sunscreen on your pigment to extend its life
-Avoid retinol, brow tints (ammonia fades your pigment), and AHA's

Shaded/ombre/Powder Brows
Unlike microblading, shading does not use a manual hand tool. Rather cosmetic tattoo pigments are gently applied with a quiet tattoo machine. Immediately after application, your newly designed brows will be bold, however, pigments heal into a soft powdery makeup finish. This "fill" effect mimics the look of an eyebrow powder. Also known as ombre brows or powder brows.
Your brow design can be fierce and on point or subtle and natural. Annie uses a comprehensive pigment line that accommodates all hair color; red, grey, taupe, blonde, black and blended for customizes shades.
Shading options include adding onto a microblading brow reshape or as a stand alone service.
Natural brow shading is perfect for the client with a nice natural brow shape but wants to define their brow with an every day makeup look.

What service is best for my brows?
Good question! Yet another great reason to meet with Annie for your complimentary 15 minute consultation! She is happy to make recommendations and customize your brow experience.
A quick rule of thumb: microblading is best for clients with no brow hair or minimal brow hair and is ideal for anyone looking for a "natural" result. Microblading is also great for adding shape, definition and "filling" any missing hair from bulb, to arch & tail. However, if you've been blessed with pretty good brows and are just tired of filling them in with makeup everyday...a powder brow (shaded brow) is all you will need to achieve a wake up & makeup look!
A combo brow (aka microblading & shading together), is generally what a client imagines (think Pinterest brow images) when trying to explain their ideal brow. A combo brow can redefine, reshape & fill! A one two punch to perfect brows!

Are your services considered a tattoo?
All of my services are considered to be a permanent cosmetic tattoo, thus all PMU (permanent makeup) artists are required to attain the appropriate state licensing & blood born pathogen training. Certification and training, however, is not mandated in Washington state. I truly believe that this oversight by the state is dangerous & that is exactly why you see & hear horror stories (scars, poor brow patterns, scary results and even infections). I have sought out the best in the business to receive education and certification from.
Scalp Micropigmentation | SMP
Scalp MicroPigmentation is a tattoo procedure designed to mimic the look of healthy hair follicles. Services include full scalp giving the illusion of a close buzz cut or density for thinning hair. Scalp scar treatment may be necessary prior to pigmentation (generally necessary following a hair replacement). Men & women enjoy the confidence gained from masking their thinning hair with this non-invasive, pain free and waterproof procedure. Consultations are always required prior to scheduling your SMP appointment. Several appointments may be necessary to achieve desired results.
-Healing expectations: A warm sensation & minor discomfort will be experienced following your appointment, there may be light scabbing. Healing protocol is simple: do not wash for 48 hours, do not use alcohol based hair products. Annie will send your home with a free & clear shampoo and conditioner for your first wash.
-Pigment Options: blonde, grey, brown (med to dark) & black
-99% of clients state that there is no pain or discomfort, however, Annie does provide topical lidocaine for your comfort if needed.
-SMP does not stimulate hair growth nor does it cause thinning.
-Shaving your head or a section of your hair is not required.

I'm nervous, Does it hurt?
Permanent cosmetic procedures can be uncomfortable. The majority of clients are taken aback by the odd sensation that their body is not used too. A 5% topical lidocaine is applied before and during your procedures - this helps alleviate any harsh sensations. Many factors can attribute to your lidocaine experience - including hydration, your cycle and how your body reacts to lidocaine (think about the dentist). No two clients are the same, some doze off during their appointments and some still feel uncomfortable.
I promise to talk you through your entire process, keep you calm, relaxed and comfortable. Reasonable expectations help set the stage & alleviate your hesitations, thus a consultation is highly recommended.
Following your appointment preparation guidelines also play a large part in your appointment experience.

How long does it take?
Procedure time varies: as a general rule set aside 2 hours, however, some appointments take far less time. We highly encourage you not to arrive rushed and needing to get out the door. Please don't overbook yourself around your service appointment. FYI: you may experience redness and minor swelling, socializing after your appointment may not be entirely comfortable.

Eyeliner
I believe that permanent cosmetics should enhance your natural beauty! Therefore, my repertoire includes very specific beauty services. I'd rather people wonder if you've had "work" done rather than the work be glaringly obvious (much like the subtly of botox...refreshed & youthful...not plastic & bizarre). Therefore, I only offer a natural lash enhancement eyeliner. I do not offer winged eyeliner, extended eyeliner or under-eye...a natural lash enhancement allows you to utilize makeup to create a cat eye when you want too or simply wakeup daily with a soft gorgeous eyeliner.
-Healing expectations: light swelling and perfect color after application, occasional bruising (rare), peeling (no scabs), clouding (lightening of pigment), bloom around 6-8 weeks (pigment reemerges).
-Pigment options: black, true black, grey, dark brown, emerald green, peacock blue
-Remove contacts prior to your appointment
-Discontinue lash serums 6 weeks prior to your appointment
-Other artists eyeliner: Touchups over other artists work require a consultation.
-Future touchups: To keep your eyeliner looking its best expect a touchup at 1 to 5 years.

Lip Blush | Lip Tint
Permanent lip tint (or lip blush) provides definition to your lip borders & a uniformed lip pigment. As we age our lip borders and natural lip color can become softer, blotchy and less defined. Lip blush will initially be very bold (like a lipstick), but quickly heals into a soft shade that is easy to gloss or lipstick over. For example, red lip blush will look like the perfect red lipstick upon application, but heals into a cherry popsicle kiss.
-Healing expectations: bright, bold & swollen initially, decreases over several days, peels around day 4, sensitivity may continue, clouds (decreased pigment), blooms around 8 weeks (pigment emerges).
-Pigment options: from natural to bold, wine to mauve- I have invested in a wide variety of the highest quality vegan pigments available!
-COLD SORES/Herpes: Please read contraindications closely, especially if you are prone to cold sores/Herpes outbreaks. Premedication is required if you have a history of cold sores.
-Future touchup: Expect the need for future touchups between year 1 - 5. Lips are resilient but we use and abuse them!
-Not harsh lipliners please - not my fave
