- You have taken Accutane in the last 12 months.
- You are in an active autoimmune flare. Wait until it settles, then text Rachel.

Microblading questions.
How long does microblading last?
Microblading usually lasts 12 to 18 months before it needs a color refresh. Oily skin, sun and retinol make it fade faster.
Will microblading look fake?
It should not. Rachel maps the shape to your bone structure and matches the color to your hair and skin tone, so the result looks like your own brows on a good day.
Can I get microblading if I have oily skin?
Strokes tend to blur on oily skin as they heal. If your skin is oily, Rachel will likely suggest ombré powder or hybrid brows instead.
