Exclusions From Microblading Candidacy

As a permanent make up artist, it is important to carefully evaluate each client before beginning the microblading session. This evaluation is done to ensure you develop the best-healed results and avoid damage to the skin. 

Unfortunately, there are some pre-existing conditions and treatments that can exclude you from microblading candidacy.  If you fall under any of the categories below your skin can be heavily compromised and therefore not eligible for micoblading. This does not mean you cannot wake up with make up! There are other options on the market for you. Although I specialize in micorblading, I can refer you to artists in the area that practices microshading/powder brow (which could be a viable option).
