Microblading FAQ

  • First we have you schedule your initial microblading appointment, this appointment takes up to 2.5 hours and requires a 50% deposit to be made at the time of booking. During your visit our brow artist uses measuring tools to perfectly align your brows to your desired look and style. Before performing any actual microblading, our brow artist ensures that you are satisfied with what they have designed for your eyebrows. The microblading follow up appointment must be scheduled 6+ weeks after your initial microblading appointment. The follow up appointment takes up to 1.5 hours. During the microblading follow up visit, any areas that have faded or decreased in size will be enhanced. 

  • Siren & Proper always welcomes those of you who have existing microblading from other salons. For your first visit with us however, we will require a bit more time to evaluate your current microblading. A Microblading Transfer Color Boost is scheduled for 2 hours. If you wish to book your appointment with Lisa Kaylie ($300), e-mail a current photo of your microblading to lisakaylie@sirenandproper.com. As with all services at Siren & Proper, a credit card is require at the time of booking in order to hold your reservation.

  • No. Microblading is broken up into two separate visits.  Your initial visit is where your actual microblading appointment will take place, while your second visit is a follow up.  Microblading follow up appointments must be booked 6+ weeks after your initial microblading visit, this follow up appointment is included in the total pricing. 

  • Although numbing cream is used during the procedure, slight sensitivity/discomfort may be felt by some sensitive clients. 

  • Microblading can last a number of years, but to maintain a fresh color & overall appearance a annual or semi-annual color boost appointment will be needed. Fading will happen naturally after each procedure.

  • Although there is no “down time” after receiving microblading, it will take about 14 days for the strokes to completely heal. Your freshly microbladed brows may look more bold, dark and sharp for roughly 2-3 days after your initial procedure.

  • We recommend waiting 2 weeks after your microblading appointment to apply any makeup to your brow area. A brow powder, gel or pomade is recommend to fill in your brows. The usage of brow pencils are discouraged during the healing process.

  • Consultations are not required for microblading appointments. We typically reserve consultations for clients who may have an already existing eyebrow tattoo or possible scaring under their brows. If you wish to book a microblading consultation prior to making a microblading appointment please call us at (616)-427-5394 to schedule a consultation. Consultations are free of charge. Any questions you may have will be able to be answered by our microblading artist.

  • Unfortunately no, due to risk of infection. 

  • Once your brows are fully healed, you may still need to use powder or a pencil on your brows as this is an enhancement and is not permanent. Your genetics, physiological makeup, and lifestyle will affect the treatment in various ways.
