Why doesn't Radiant Ink offer microblading anymore?

Microblading has been popular for years, but it's not the best option for most people. In fact, only 25% of clients are ideal candidates. It’s not great for oily skin, mature skin, or deeper skin tones—and can lead to trauma, fading, and color changes like blue or ashy brows over time. Microblading also causes more skin trauma and scarring, requires more maintenance, and often blurs into a powder brow anyway. That’s why I offer Nano Brows instead—no cutting, less trauma, and longer-lasting results.

What are ombre brows?

Ombre brows, also called powdered brows, create a soft, gradient effect using shading. This technique starts lighter at the front of the brow and gets darker toward the tail, giving a natural, filled-in look. Unlike microblading, ombre brows use a tattoo machine to softly shade the entire brow, which results in better pigment retention and longer-lasting results.

Nano brows use a PMU machine with a fine needle (around 0.18mm) to create ultra-precise hair-like strokes. Unlike microblading, nano brows don’t cut the skin, making them more gentle and ideal for clients with sensitive, oily, or mature skin. They're perfect for filling sparse brows and last longer due to better pigment retention.

Things not to do after a PMU brow service

For 14+ days after your PMU procedure, avoid sun exposure, sweating, getting brows wet, and using makeup or skincare on the area. Also avoid saunas, pools, massages, and exfoliants. Don’t touch or scratch the brows. After day 14, resume most activities, but avoid chemical peels or laser treatments near the brow area until fully healed.

Summer Ready? Why Your Permanent Makeup Touch-Up Needs a Calendar Invite 🌞✨

Permanent makeup brow transformation before and after — healed results show defined, natural-looking brows ideal for summer touch-ups

Hey there, sun chaser!

☀️ With summer sneaking up fast, it’s time to talk about the real secret to vacation-ready glam: timing your permanent makeup touch-ups like a pro.

Why April is Your BFF for Brows (and Lips, and Stretch Marks…)

Picture this: You’re sipping a margarita by the pool, your brows flawlessly arched, lips perfectly blushed—no makeup bag in sight. Heaven, right?

But here’s the kicker: To avoid looking like a peeling lobster roll by June, you need to plan now.

Permanent makeup isn’t a “quick fix” like slapping on mascara. It’s a commitment (the good kind, promise!).

Healing takes 4-6 weeks, and sun, saltwater, and chlorine are its mortal enemies. Schedule your touch-up at least in May to let your skin chillax before you hit the beach. Trust me, scabby brows don’t pair well with poolside selfies. 🏖️

Myth-Busting 101:

“But I Want My Brows Done Before My Wedding/Vacation/Reunion!”

Let’s get real: If your big day is in two weeks, don’t. You’ll spend your tropical vacay slathered in ointment, hiding from the sun, and side-eyeing anyone with a camera. Permanent makeup is art—not a last-minute eyeliner swipe.

💡 Pro Tip: If you’re boarding a plane soon, stick to your trusty brow pencil. We’ll glam you up after you’re back from Cabo. Your future hydrated, healed self will thank you.

What Needs a Pre-Summer Glow-Up?

Brows: Faded ombré? Let’s sharpen those arches.
Lips: Bring back that “just-bitten” flush.
Inkless Stretch Mark Revision: Smooth out those lines before bikini season.

“But Denise—Do I Really Need a Touch-Up?”

Great question! Snap a no-makeup selfie in natural light, text it to 424-224-6477, and I’ll give you the real talk.

Spoiler: Sometimes you don’t need one! I’m here to protect your skin’s VIP status, not upsell you. 🙅♀️

Permanent lip blush transformation in four stages: before, immediately after procedure, healed at 3 months, and post-touch-up for vibrant, long-lasting color

Bottom Line: Summer’s for sipping mojitos, not stressing over flaky brows. Book your touch-up now, heal like a boss, and strut into June like the main character you are.

Ready to glow? Text Me! Let’s make this your most confident summer yet! 💖

P.S. If you insist on ignoring this advice and booking a touch-up 3 days before your wedding… I’ll still love you. But I’ll also hand you a giant sun hat and a very stern look. 😎 🙃
