Question 1

Can you fix microblading from another studio?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this service is specifically for new clients with existing PMU from elsewhere. Please send a clear photo first so we can confirm suitability and the best approach.

Question 2

Will it take more than one session?

Accepted Answer

Depending on how dark or saturated the previous work is, correction can take more than one session. We will explain the realistic pathway for your case during your consultation.

Question 3

What Is The Iconbrows Eyebrow Correction / Cover-Up Process Like?

Accepted Answer

The entire Iconbrows PMU Correction / Cover-Up process takes around 2.5 - 3.5 hours. There is no down time. We apply a numbing agent before the procedure and give you aftercare instructions on how to best help heal your brows before your Perfecting Touch Up Session. Please follow the instructions carefully so that your eyebrows heal beautifully and avoid infection. It is important to have a realistic expectation when considering eyebrow PMU correction or cover-up. The outcome depends heavily on the state of your eyebrows and the previous work done, your specific skin type, makeup routine, exposure to natural elements and other unique factors. You may require more than one touch up to achieve your dream brows. First we sit down and do some basic paperwork to know your medical history and confirm you are a good candidate. You can also pre-fill this information via our online forms. We then start the design consultation by asking about your preferences and what you want in your new eyebrow design, incorporating your answers with our advice into a mapped-out design and shape. Every person has a unique brow shape. No two sets of eyebrows are the same, as every person has unique features that influence the design. Iconbrows specialises in natural-looking hyper-realistic eyebrows. We advise clients to go slightly bigger and darker as the eyebrows will fade and shrink by 20-30% during the natural healing process. After you review the mapped-out shape and design and approve it, we begin the PMU process. We will not start until you approve your new eyebrows. We make precise hairline-like incisions into the upper epidermal layer of the eyebrow skin over the remainder of the session. We end the session by cleaning up the area and handing you a mirror to inspect the work done. We close your appointment with advice and tips on how to care for your eyebrows for the next 4-8 weeks before you return for your Perfecting Touch Up once they have fully healed. Please be considerate and respectful of our time and profession. We have the right to refuse service to anyone who is more than 20 minutes late without notice, no-shows, or multiple cancellations. Please plan your travel to our location the day before and take traffic into consideration.

Question 4

How Long Do PMU Correction / Cover-Up Eyebrows Last?

Accepted Answer

Results last about 2 - 5 years depending on the individual’s skin type and lifestyle. Most clients return within 1 - 2 years to maintain their eyebrows. Those with oily skin and more melanin tend to fade faster and may require more frequent touch ups.

Question 5

Is The Eyebrow Correction / Cover-Up Service Painful?

Accepted Answer

The Iconbrows PMU Correction / Cover-Up procedure is virtually painless. Many clients comment on how easy and painless the entire procedure is, especially those who have had eyebrow PMU done before at other studios. Most clients experience little to no pain as we apply a gentle but effective topical anesthetic. Because it is a cosmetic tattoo, some individuals may experience minor discomfort, but we take many precautions to ensure your comfort throughout.

Question 6

Who Is A Good Candidate for Eyebrow Correction / Cover-Up?

Accepted Answer

Person with uneven or patchy brows or uneven hair growth Sleepy or droopy eyes that want to look more lifted and alert Those who are tired of hearing that they look tired all the time Those who wish to create the illusion of a more lifted and defined look without cosmetic surgery or injections Busy people who want to save time getting ready in the morning Those who experience stress from having to draw in their eyebrows every morning Those who want to wake up looking done right when they roll out of bed Those who want more definition in their face Alopecia, those who prefer having eyebrows rather than not having them at all Naturally occurring bald spots where eyebrow hair grows differently on both sides Those with active lifestyles who want to enjoy looking done even without makeup Those who sweat or have oily skin and do not want to wear makeup every day

Question 7

Who Is Not A Good Candidate for Correction / Cover-Up?

Accepted Answer

Those who sweat and have oily skin and active lifestyles. Oily skin and enlarged pores tend to fade faster and lines may be susceptible to blurring compared to normal or dry skin. Those who have recently had botox, injectables, a cosmetic procedure or surgery Scar tissue. Many people have small scars hidden within their eyebrows without their knowledge. These patches do not absorb pigment well and will fade quicker than the rest. Acne-prone skin Little to no eyebrow hair Alopecia. While our Brow Experts are highly skilled, correction and cover-up is most effective for those with at least some eyebrow hair to help blend and give the illusion of real hair. Those taking blood-thinning medication or vitamins. You must disclose any medical information before your procedure. We have the right to deny service if we feel the results will be less than desirable. Even if you have some of the above, that does not necessarily mean you can’t have the Correction / Cover-Up service. Results may not be optimal but are often better than no eyebrows at all. Our goal is to make sure you are happy with your brows. If we feel we will be unable to achieve your goals, we will let you know and recommend other options.

Question 8

What Is The Perfecting Touch Up Service? Do I Really Need It?

Accepted Answer

The Iconbrows Perfecting Touch Up is the second part of your eyebrow transformation. After your eyebrows go through their natural healing process, the injected pigment may scab, darken, lighten or come off depending on how well you care for them. The Perfecting Touch Up addresses those issues and ensures the final result matches the design you wanted. Many clients also wish to make small adjustments after living with their new brows, such as a slightly higher arch or a touch more fullness. That is another aspect we address during the Perfecting Touch Up Session. Without the Perfecting Touch Up, your new eyebrows will fade much faster.

Question 9

Can you fix brows that are too dark, too thick, or the wrong shape?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes. Brows that are too dark, too saturated, or placed in the wrong shape are among the most common corrections we see. The realistic outcome depends on how much pigment is present, how deep it was implanted, and how much the existing work has faded. Very dark or heavily saturated brows may need more than one session to achieve the coverage or reshaping you want. We always ask for a clear photo before booking so we can give you an honest assessment of what is achievable for your specific case.

Question 10

My brows have turned grey, blue, or ashy. Can that be fixed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is a very common issue and one we correct regularly. Brow pigment shifts to grey, blue, or ashy tones over time when the warmer molecules in the pigment break down and fade first, leaving behind the cooler undertones. Colour correction uses neutralising pigments, based on colour theory, to counteract those unwanted tones and bring the brow back to a natural, balanced shade. Not every case is suitable for immediate colour correction. If there is still a significant amount of cool-toned pigment in the skin, some lightening work may be needed first. Send us a clear photo so we can assess the current state of your brows and advise the best approach for your situation.

Question 11

Can you fix uneven brows, or brows where one side looks different from the other?

Accepted Answer

Uneven brows are one of the most frequently requested corrections. We remap the shape from scratch, taking your natural features and bone structure into account, and use the correction session to rebalance the arch, tail, or overall placement. The extent to which symmetry can be improved depends on the existing pigment and how far outside the ideal placement it sits. A photo consultation is the best first step so we can see exactly what we are working with.

Question 12

What is the difference between PMU correction and removal? Do I need removal first?

Accepted Answer

PMU correction means working over or alongside your existing brows to improve the colour, shape, or density. Removal, whether by saline or laser, is a separate process that lifts existing pigment out of the skin over multiple sessions before any new work is done. Not everyone needs removal before a correction. Many clients with sufficiently faded or partially healed work can come straight to a correction or cover-up session. Correction or cover-up: suitable when the existing pigment has faded enough that new work can be layered over it effectively. Saline or laser removal first: recommended when the brows are very dark, heavily saturated, or significantly misplaced, so the canvas is cleared enough for quality new work. We do not offer saline or laser removal at Iconbrows. If removal is the right first step for you, we will advise you to seek that treatment before booking your correction session with us. Send us a photo and we will let you know which path makes sense for your brows.

Question 13

How much does the Eyebrow Correction / Cover-Up service cost?

Accepted Answer

The Eyebrow PMU Correction / Cover-Up service is CAD $900 and includes one complimentary Perfecting Touch Up session. A deposit of CAD $100 is required at the time of booking to secure your appointment. If your case requires additional sessions beyond the included touch up, those would be discussed and quoted separately after your initial assessment. If you are unsure whether your brows are suitable for correction, we offer a free 10-minute online PMU consultation. Send us a photo first so we can review your current brows before you commit to booking.
