 Hey guys, so today I'm going to be doing my first micro blading treatment. Never done it I'm a little nervous, but I'm excited and I'm going to a place called perfect frame run by Jonathan Paul I'm gonna have Jonathan himself do it Because I didn't want it. I couldn't trust anybody else to touch my eyebrows I don't want to do anything crazy. I want it to be natural if you here. Let's take a look See that there's some like patchiness. It's it's not It's not connected in certain areas and there's some holes And I just want there to be more symmetry. I want it to be fuller cleaner crisper So those of you who aren't familiar micro blading is essentially a semi-permanent tattoo. They will tattoo lines of Eyebrow hairs to blend in with the hair that I do have so that I can achieve a more fuller Defined look so I'm doing that today. I'm it's really excited. I'm looking forward to this for quite some time It's 311 my appointment at 4 fortunately, it's downtown as well. It's like several blocks of that way it's pretty close by and Fortunately, they were totally okay with me vlogging my experience. So I'll be bringing you guys along with me to Explore that it's been a while since I've done like something aesthetic and and taking you in with me So I'm looking forward to doing that. Let's go Okay, so for those of you who have been following my Instagram you probably saw my post on my new car But I finally got I'm so excited about This has been a long time in the making I Had been driving my 2005 Volvo for many many years and She served me very well Make no doubt about it, but So I want symmetry It's a bit patchy I feel like yeah And then they're different I feel like there's not much going on. Yes. You want to add some like some strokes in the front there I do want to keep it super masculine. Yeah Yeah, I feel like queen I feel like your natural shape is already so good I feel like we just need to you know make them look more balanced with each other Give it some more, you know definition, so it looks like you know, so you have a stronger frame, right? Yeah, so what I'll do is I'll like sketch everything out first and then have you take a look So you have the final say okay before I even microwave. Okay, so it's a very collaborative process So you'll see everything step-by-step cool Yeah, any questions for me? No So I'm gonna go ahead and start with sketching everything out guys. I'm gonna have you lay down Sweet Angle is good All right, so I'm just painting them off So I'm just gonna warn you now since you're not used to like filling in your brows or seeing yourself with darker eyebrows Yeah, first few days might feel a little intense just because you're gonna have to adjust to like these new eyebrows, right? Yeah, so even by just like darkening the brows it really changes your whole face. Okay, so For some clients, you know after they see themselves. They're like a bit weirded out. They're like, oh, this is different Yeah, and then after a few days it kind of just grows on you and you get used to it And then other reactions are people, you know, they love it right away. And they're like, oh my god, this is great So I always get those kind of two feels after the microwaving like I love how Natural, yeah, it's very just like yeah, like I like what I said with you I was like, you know, I don't want to take away too much from your natural shape So with this guy kind of just like gave it more definition like from below I brought it down a little bit lower. Yeah filled in those like little light areas Yeah, I trust that you know like what is going to go well on your face. Yeah And the good thing is The good thing is you have a pretty full base just like this guy. So the more hair you have the more natural it looks Before this I was in Hollywood near the Arclight Theater for a couple of years And before that I was in West Hollywood So I slowly made my way to the east side It's much better out here I prefer it too, right? I was in um, I was in West Hollywood too Were you born out? Did you grow up out here? Uh, I grew up in Orange County. Okay. I was born in the Netherlands actually Oh, wow All right, I'm gonna show you what this looks like. It looks crazy. Okay, so you're gonna just see like A bordering shape for this pencil. Yeah, so this is so I know where to stay within Once it's a microblading as you already saw it looks all soft and feathered. Okay, so this is just my guy I'm imagining inside of the border exactly So take a look looks nuts so When I microblade the front I'm gonna Do you know more like sparse feather strokes and do a little bit more lighter here And then as we get closer into like mid to tail it gets a little bit more filled in Um, when I do the ends, you know, don't worry. It's not going to look like they're so perfectly clean They're gonna be a little bit more fuzzy on the end when I do the strokes from below I'm going to do these little individual ones So it doesn't look like it's like like your brows got freshly waxed or something, right? Yeah So You know, I'm ready. I'm just really working off of your natural shape and just enhancing in the areas That I feel like need more like kind of just like building your archery Because it's a little bit more like sparse here, right? Yeah, giving you more of like a tail And before the actual microblading, I'm going to draw in the hair strokes one by one So you can kind of get like a preview before I actually microblade it So at that point if you're like, hmm, I don't really like what this looks like Then I could like adjust it. I could make it look more fluffy less fluffy More dense whatever, okay So like I said, it's a collaborative process. So you have a final say you're saying all the magic words Okay, okay putting me in this Yeah, so this is pretty much my bordering shape and then yeah, you'll see what it looks like with the The strokes drawn in and when I get a little photo of this What I'm going to be doing next is I'm going to be using this tattoo marker I'm going to be dotting the borders of the brow just so that throughout the whole process I don't lose the shape. Okay So for this part just keep your eyes closed hold your face still I'm going to apply the numbing cream So you go ahead and sit up for this work So first I'll be like adding more between these strokes that you see here, okay So let me know how you feel about something like this The blue dots come off. It's kind of a bunch softer right now because it's still there It's a little too like intense Let me know if you want me to like make this like shorter or like softer My only thing is I'm not like huge on like a laminated look. Okay So thinking me Yeah, so let me know if you want me to just like make it go a little bit shorter So it doesn't come out of the border as much Yeah, okay Yeah, and once I like fill in those bigger gaps, I'm gonna look like they're so like spaced out. You know what I mean? Um, and then I think it looks pretty good I'm gonna take a photo of this Even at the end if you still see a hair stroke and you're like, I don't like the placement of that one I could still remove it while it's still fresh. Okay, and then when I come back within that six months Within six months. Yeah Any of the lines that healed really light Or fill in any areas that maybe didn't step So it just depends on like how you feel and how good you are with the aftercare. Okay So does it not go as deep as like a regular tattoo? That's correct. That's why it's semi-permanent So if you're time and you don't get touched up it just slowly just starts to fade away So how was that seeing yourself with like more light hair? I loved it. Okay good. Yeah, some people they're like, whoa This is crazy, I don't know Yeah One side is like, oh cool. I then two sides like Yeah, I feel like with this side even it likes pretty much that there's just like a couple like bigger gaps And that's it, you know, we don't need to overcrowd it for this first session just so that it It's more sparse Rather than it being too dark and bold, you know, yeah Like you know sometimes Thing on your skin, you might swallow it all so the brows might look a little larger in size. Okay, so that's on one. Okay So yeah, you're gonna notice that the microplated strokes are gonna start to thicken up and look like they were drawn in with like a thin pen
