What to expect in a session with London Brow Clinic

On arrival, you will be asked to fill out a health questionnaire so that we can build a physiological profile on you that will better enable us to understand how we conduct your treatments for years to come.

When in your session, Galata will ask you questions to determine exactly what your objectives are for your microblading. You will be given an opportunity to show her pictures of work that you like, pictures of yourself from moments when you feel you have looked your best, so that Galata can recreate this for you.

Once Galata has created a design (for first set customers) she will ask you to sit up to check whether the design still works correctly adjusting for gravity. If the design needs to be tweaked to create a better look holistically, she will do this for you whilst you are sat upright.

In this consultative process, Galata will answer any questions you have about how to keep the microblading looking as good as possible for as long as possible. Fully plant-based pigments are used at London Brow Clinic, meaning that colour discolouration (red, green or blue) does not occur when having microblading with us (read other blog posts to learn more about metal in pigments and why brows by other clinics change colour). With over 8 years of microblading experience, there isn't a face shape or skin composition that Galata has not encountered.

Once the design element is finished, Galata will proceed to microblade the brows. As much anaesthetic as needed is used; existing clients typically report that it is not very painful. Due to the magnitude of experience, Galata typically does not require more than 1 hour and 15 mins to microblade a client's eyebrows, but if the client needs more time the appointment will not be rushed, regardless of if another client is waiting. It is of paramount importance to Galata that every client leaves with a pair of brows that make their heart sing!

Clients will then be given aftercare instructions and the ointment required to aide in the healing process. Full support is offered post treatment via message/email.

Full results are seen after 4 weeks post microblading session, but the healing process is over after 1 week. The brows do not look swollen or bruised immediately afterwards, as Galata has medical experience and understands how to achieve the results without creating excessive trauma to the skin of the client when microblading. The client will be able to carry on with their day, and not need to limit their activities the week proceeding the session due to the eyebrows. Providing the aftercare instructions are followed, the client will not have hard scabby brows as can be the case when using other microblading clinics.

If you have any further questions please message or email the clinic and we shall answer expediently.

LondonBrowClinic- The Academy!!

If I had a pound for every time I have been asked whether I was going to start an academy, I would be a very rich lady indeed! I am proud to say that I have been asked this since almost the beginning of my microblading career. For the most part, I’ve seldom told people the truth about why I had resisted starting this endeavour for so long if I am honest...

The truth is, this industry already suffers from a chronic lack of high education as a standard, and this undermines the potential for clients to understand how discerning they must be when choosing whom to do their microblading. It is with deep sadness that I tell you here now that I have not wanted to start an academy because I didn’t feel that I could stay true to my personal principles of transparency relating to what it takes to be a successful microblader, and offer this as a course that could be competitive among so many others in the industry considering what I have seen them to be comprised of up until now. The offerings currently out there are thousands of pounds, and often really don’t show how to be safe, how to cater what you offer to various skin types and ethnicities, and how to provide a good value proposition to the customer.

It is a sad indictment of where the industry is, but it is a position that I do actually understand. You see, this industry and occupation offers an opportunity to so many. An opportunity to start afresh, to reinvent their lives, to earn well, and above all else, to be part of someone’s journey of becoming happier. It is often embarked upon by those feeling the pain of socio economic injustice. For this reason, it is imperative that it remains accessible and not out of reach regarding the possibility to learn a new skill and be able to pay for that new skill. I have felt for so long that I wanted to start something that would enable me to expand my need to give back to society where it needs the most help. I started on a new path of educating myself by embarking on studying Politics, but progress in this area will be slow for me as it will take time before I can offer something that I believe is of substance to the community. In contrast, building a new offering for those of you who wish to embark on a career in microblading is something I can do for you now! And so, as I write this, myself and my husband are busy constructing a new platform where we will provide content to those of you that want it. Somewhere that will offer education so that different members of society will be able to access it with almost no financial outlay! As most of you who know me already know, my background means I will also be able to offer this is Spanish, meaning I can help many across the world better their circumstances. I’m excited!

Watch this space, the best of LondonBrowClinic is yet to come… MICROBLADING TRAINING SERVICES BECOME A MICROBLADING INSTRUCTOR / TRAINER Gali xx

It is with a heavy heart that I write this blog post…

It is becoming increasingly more difficult to navigate owning a business in the SPMU industry. I wish that this was simply a case of the competition becoming stronger and forcing those of us whom already hold a place to up the ante and raise our game. Sadly this not the case.

The world of microblading, micropigmentation and SPMU is fast becoming similar to that of the injectables business, a race to the bottom, where those of us who still stay true to our morals, preach to customers that they ought to be discerning when deciding on whom to use for their microblading. But with so many academies churning out hundreds of new microbladers daily, most of whom do not have any experience at all in a medical capacity, the market is becoming saturated with people who are innocently trying to make a living and don’t fully comprehend what is at stake when they take on each new customer.

The plight of those attempting to make the best of the pandemic has meant that many women (I say women because we are the ones that it is has most impacted; I am not suggesting that it has not negatively impacted men of course) have become easy targets for academies with a keen eye for preying on the desperate. So many females lost their jobs or had their hours or contracts diminished as they took on the burden of the domestic role on top of their day jobs through the time of Corona virus and COVID 19. It is not in the least surprising that many sought to find a way of producing a second income. The issue here is that these academies make it sound as though starting a semi permanent makeup business requires little money or skill, which is not correct. One should strive to be making sure they are trained as best as possible, with as much skill and experience on non-paying customers as possible before they start, not to mention that they should also be attempting to use the best possible products, sufficed to say.

When a prospective client chooses to use a microblader who charges £150 for a set, have they considered if this person can truly afford to use the best single use blades? Whether they can afford to adequately sterilise the non single use equipment necessary? Whether they are even adequately insured?!

I write this blog post for two reasons. I want to encourage clients to make sure that they make good decisions when choosing a microblader, knowing what is at stake when they don’t. But more than that, I want all these new microbladers to please read this and remember that their new career is just beginning, that they can make it with hard work and consistency, and that they do not need to start their businesses cutting corners. We all need to stand together to implement best practices to make sure that everyone remains safe. I salute every single one of these new business people, and hope that they understand that every client deserves the best of our time and experience, because their confidence is at stake!

Good luck to you all!

Galata x
