About Heather B. Brains, Beauty, & Bladin’! Hi there everyone, my name is Heather Burrell and I am a Junior Permanent MakeUp Artist currently operating in Savannah and the surrounding areas. I am a Savannah native, and just recently decided to make the transition into the beauty industry, which I absolutely adore!

Now, I get the chance to enjoy something I love, while helping others achieve their beauty goals. I have trained here in Savannah, GA, and am a cosmetology student at Savannah Technical College. I believe that there isn’t a goal that’s impossible, as long as you are dedicated, and willing to take your time with your craft. My goal, is to provide all of my clients with an amazing experience to achieve their best results possible!

It is suggested you stop taking omega 3, B6, vitamin E and fish oil 3 weeks prior to your appointment as they contribute to thinning the blood and may affect how well the numbing works and how well the pigment takes. Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without your doctors permission. You may continue your vitamins 72 hours after your appointment. On the day of your appointment you’ll want to shower and wash your hair the morning of because you will not be able to shower for 72 hours. After the 72 hours showers should be quick (5 minutes long) for the remainder of your 14 day healing process. Showers should be cool and the door left open to prevent steam. Wear comfortable clothing. Bringing a sweater can help keep you warm and relaxed. Avoid waxing, threading, tweezing and electrolysis around your eyebrows for a minimum of 5 days but the longer the better. Bringing in inspiration pictures of brows you like and dislike will help communicate your aesthetic goals. Do not tan two weeks prior to the service, or have a sunburned face Do not have any type of facial 2 weeks prior to the procedure Do not work out the day of the procedure Do not have botox 2 weeks prior to the procedure Do not consume coffee before your procedure Frequently Asked Questions Q&A What Is Microblading? Microblading is a manual “hand” method of permanent cosmetics for your eyebrows which creates extremely fine natural looking strokes by implanting pigment under the epidermis. What is Blade and Shade The combo brow is the best of both! Microbladed hair strokes to create texture and detail at the front of the brow (manual hand method) and blended shading (rotary tool) through the body and tail. How long does Microblading last? Depending on your skin type and aftercare, the pigment will fade slightly over 18 to 24 months. Is Microblading or shading painful? The service can be a little uncomfortable for those who are more sensitive. However, there is an anesthetic applied during to keep this to a minimum to where it is completely tolerable. How does it work? The pigment is applied with a specific tool that has a row of several fine needles to create thin hair like marks in the skin. Your artist will choose needles and the blade type according to the technique and the skin type. The pigment is bladed just below the epidermis and the most shallow part of the dermis, making extremely fine natural looking hair strokes. A very natural result is achieved, as the hair strokes are bladed into the skin according to the natural hair growth direction. A touch up is needed 6-8 weeks after your initial treatment. How long does the service last? The appointment should take about 2-3 hours. AfterCare The 14 Day Healing Process The day of the treatment: Absorb After the procedure, gently blot the area with clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this every 5 minutes for the full day until the oozing has stopped. Removing this fluid prevents hardening of the lymphatic fluids. Days 1-7: Wash Wash daily to remove bacteria, build up of product and oils, and dead skin. (Don't worry, THIS DOES NOT REMOVE THE PIGMENT!) Gently wash your eyebrows each night with the cleanser in your aftercare kit. With a very light touch, use your fingertips to gently cleanse the eyebrows. Rub the area in a smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with water ensuring that all soap is rinsed away. To dry, gently pat with a clean tissue. DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or exfoliants. Days 1-7 Moisturize Apply a rice grain amount of the ointment provided in your after care kit once a day with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated area. Be sure not to over-apply, as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin. NEVER put the ointment on a wet or damp treated area. Here are some extra tips to help with a smooth and easy recovery: Important Reminders Use a fresh pillowcase while you sleep. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate away. Picking can cause scarring or loss of color. No facials, chemical treatments or microdermabrasion for 4 weeks. Avoid hot, sweaty exercise for 14 days. Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for 4 weeks after the procedure. Wear a hat when outdoors. Avoid long, hot showers for the first 14 days. Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 14 days. Avoid face-down swimming, lakes, and hot tubs for the first 14 days, Avoid topical makeup and sunscreen on the area for the first 14 days. DO NOT rub, pick, or scratch the treated area. Remember, with the proper prep and aftercare routine, you will have much better results with your microblading procedure. Important note about showering: Limit your showers to 5 minutes so that you do not create too much steam. Keep your face/procedure area out of the water while you wash your body, then, at the end of your shower, wash your hair. Avoid excessive rinsing and hot water on the treated area. Your new eyebrows will go through several phases during the healing cycle. True reflection of healed color can only be assessed 3-4 weeks after treatment. It will go from too dark, to too light, to just right! Immediately after the procedure, the pigment will appear very sharp and dark. This is because the pigment is still sitting on top of your skin and has not yet settled in completely. The color of the pigment will soften gradually (do not be alarmed if you see some pigment on the cotton swab as this is excess pigment and/or body fluid that is naturally exiting your skin). Once the healing of the skin starts taking place it will look like dandruff flakes or dry skin. This might give you the impression that the color pigment is fading too quickly. However, this is just superficial color and dry skin being naturally removed from your eyebrows. Your eyebrows will be the lightest tones during days 5-12 because the color is absorbed in the deeper layers of the skin. Later skin cells push it back to the upper layers. Once the healing is completed, you will enjoy a pair of beautiful, new, natural looking eyebrows. Some residual swelling is normal for ALL procedures. This area may appear uneven, darker, itchy, tender, red and irritated. These symptoms will dissipate each day and vary on an individual basis. CONSULT A DOCTOR IF THE SKIN ON OR AROUND THE EYEBROWS APPEARS TO BE INFECTED. Color WILL fade/soften from 30%-60%. At the touch up we will fine tune any area that has faded too much. Healing is specific to each client. It is important to understand that you will need a color boost every year to maintain its fresh natural appearance. Fading will happen after each procedure. We do not have control over our bodies. You may need to powder and/or pencil even after healed results. This is an enhancement to your natural brows. Permanent makeup is an art, not a science. Remember, no two sides of the face are the same. Perfection is our goal but brows are sisters not twins.Business Hours
