What makes you different?

I have 8 years of experience in the PMU industry. My background in dentistry has provided a strong foundation in facial aesthetics, attention to detail and client care. I believe every face is unique and my goal is to create natural timeless brows for your face.

What should I do after the procedure?

Please review our detailed Pre & Post Care Instructions. It is highly beneficial to follow these instructions to ensure a comfortable healing process and to achieve the best possible results. DO NOT rub or pick the healing area as the color will peel off prematurely, and avoid extreme heat, sweating, and contaminated bodies of water (such as saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, pools, lakes, and places with hot humidity, etc.).
Which Brow Technique Should You Choose?
Nano Brows:

Realistic hair-stroke look, Natural + Soft,

Skin Type: Most skin types

Pre-Care Instructions:

Avoid blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, alcohol) 48 hours before your appointment.

No caffeine 24 hours prior to the procedure.

Avoid sun exposure or tanning prior to your appointment
How will I look immediately after?
Your brows will appear darker and more intense than expected for the first week or so. This will gradually lighten during the complete healing process. Redness and swelling is minimal. You can anticipate your brows being bolder than normal the first few days after your procedure, but no need to go into hiding
Which Brow Technique Should You Choose?
Combo Brows:

Definition with dimension

Natural front + shading

Skin Type: Most skin types

What to Expect:

  • Duration: Expect the session to last 2-3 hours.

  • Comfort: A numbing agent will be applied for your comfort.

  • Healing: Initial redness and tenderness are normal and will subside.

  • 1-3 sessions may be required for desired results.

How long is the healing process?
It is normal to experience minimal swelling and tenderness immediately following your procedure. This usually subsides within a few hours. The first week following your treatment, the pigment will appear much darker than how it will appear once it has healed. Around the 1st or 2nd week post procedure, the skin naturally exfoliates and sheds. During weeks 4-8 when the skin completes healing, you will see the pigment become more visible.
Which Brow Technique Should You Choose?
Powder Brows: Long-lasting makeup look

Defined + Gradient

Skin Type: All skin types

Consent Form: A consent form must be signed prior to the procedure. If you have a previous tattoo, a medical condition or are taking any medication please contact Celi Ritchie before booking.

I’d be happy to consult with you to determine if you are a good candidate for microblading. However, I cannot perform the procedure on those that are:

You may NOT be a good candidate for microblading if:

- If you have a SKIN CONDITION : Psoriasis/dermatitis, eczema, keratosis pilaris, chronic acne, rosacea on and around the brow area. Rosacea is redness around your eyebrows or visible broken blood vessels. (i.e., your skin is constantly flaking, itching, or aggravated)

-If your skin is sensitive, it is likely to be easily aggravated and bleed easily. A good way to know if your skin is sensitive is if turns pink very easily from a little scratch. If your skin has large pores, specifically in the region of the eyebrows and forehead (aka the T-Zone), the color will blur and result in a powdered look. Along similar lines, tattooed hair strokes will not lay properly on skin with deep wrinkles, which can make the overall look appear uneven. Moles, bumps, piercing, and generally raised skin around the eyebrows will also not be able to retain color.

You are also NOT a good candidate if you:

- are pregnant or breastfeeding

- are prone to keloid scars - have taken Accutane in the last year

- are taking antibiotics

- had surgery within the last month

- have serious disease such as epilepsy, cancer (need 6 months clear), hepatitis C, immune disorder, blood pressure, hemofilia, etc.

- are an insulin-dependent diabetic

- have a heart condition/pacemaker

- got botox 1 month before procedure

- have a sunburn

- If you have previous microblading or permanent makeup ( Email celicamr@gmail.com a clear picture of your bare brows to determine if you are a candidate )

- if you are on ANY medication you have to text or email a list of medications you are taking to verify they won't interfere with the procedure or healing process.

- You cannot take any caffeine, vitamins, blood thinning medication or alcohol 24 hours prior to your appoinment.

So, if you’re thinking you’re ready for a microblading procedure, it is important to know that the results of your permanent makeup will be based on the health and quality of your skin. Results will vary from person to person, and if you have a pre-existing skin condition or are on medications, you may still be eligible for a procedure but should adjust your expectations based on your situation.
