What is microblading?
Microblading is a very delicate technique, filling in the bald spots with strokes that mimic hair, that will give very natural results!
This technique is recommended for clients with bald spots and have normal to dry skin. Clients with sensitive skin, bruise easily and bleed easily are not good candidates for microblading. Microblading is considered semi-permanent makeup and not a tattoo due to the durability and ink composition.
Fusion – Combination iBROWS
Microblading at the beginning of the brow and powdered at the tail.
This technique provides a very natural, sexy and sophisticated look!
Good for all skin types and ages!
What is Powdered iBROWS?
The powdered eyebrows have a very soft and sophisticated look!
It is the makeup effect, giving the powdered finish appearance. This technique can be designed to your style, some may want more soft and light, others may want darker and more defined! We will guide you to a style that better enhances your looks and lifestyle.
Good for all skin types and ages!
What is a Kissable Lips or Lip Tinting ?
Permanent Makeup for your lips.
This technique enhances and brings back the natural pinkish color of your lips, giving the appearance of plump and healthier lips. Over time our lips lose that vibrance and this technique brings it back!
Color choices are available from natural to makeup effect!
What is the difference between
Lash Enhancement and Eyeliner?
Lash enhancement is discrete and very natural, the line is created on the upper lash line and can be done on the bottom as well, providing an illusion of fuller lashes. Eyeliner is thicker and more dramatic, it’s more of a makeup effect.
What is Mapping?
Where numbers meet art! Mapping is the technique that we use to draw your eyebrows and is based on bone structure and facial features. With our expert technique and your feedback together we build a shape that best suits you!
How about the color?
Blondes, Grays & Auburn:
We have the ability to customize a color that will complement your light features, we also work exclusively with an ink company that has a special line for blondes, grays & auburn. You will have plenty of choices to choose from!
Brunette:
For the girls with brown, dark brown & black (hair or complexion) Miss Vivian Meyers has had extensive training on ink composition & skin anatomy because the understanding of the needs of each client is very important to us! We currently work with an international ink brand specializing in brunette,
with endless choices of brown shade tones!
Are virtual consultations as effective as in-person?
Yes! Virtual consultation is the most popular, we just require you to send us two pictures (1 full face picture and 1 picture of one eyebrow) with good light and no makeup on the eyebrow area prior to your virtual consultation. Clients that have had a previous procedure done on their eyebrows with a different technician must have the consultation in person. All consultations are free!
If the virtual consultation is for eyeliner or lip tinting, no picture is required.

The long term care?
Eyebrows:
We recommend clients to maintain the regular tweezing, waxing or threading of the eyebrows to keep the eyebrows on point!
We would love to provide the up keeping to you but we understand that many come from out of state so our recommendation is to follow up with a professional near you.
Avoid products for skin care touching the eyebrow area. SPF is ok!
