How to be a Redhead


S2, Ep17: Microblading 101 for Redheads with Guest, Katie Ellis

August 23, 2019

Microblading inserts semi-permanent pigment into the upper layers of skin to create the desired fullness and shape of the eyebrows. The effects last up to 12 months after which the pigment fades leaving the skin and your natural brows exactly as they were.


The technique is very on-trend right now. But microblading can be difficult for redheads because redheads typically have lighter and coarser brows, and sometimes a semi-permanent color can be way too harsh. BUT, microblading can be done! A redhead needs to find the right professional who has worked on redheads before.


Thanks to social media, we came across today's guest, Katie Ellis, on Instagram. One of Ellis' red-haired clients broke down in tears after seeing her new microbladed redhead brows.


Ellis is from Fresno, California. She is a registered nurse turned beauty business entrepreneur. She realized after six long years in college and two years of nursing, her true passion is to help women feel beautiful through microblading. Giving her clients confidence through microblading makes her heart soar and leaves her fulfilled every day.


She answers the following questions:


1. Who is the best candidate for microblading?


2. Walk us through the process! Post, during and pre-microblading?


3. A redhead sits down to get their brows microbladed. How do you decide on the color of the brows? We’ve read that sometimes the color can change. Have you seen this?


4. Does it hurt? Should a redhead with sensitive skin be concerned about irritation?


5. How many times do they see you: When you get it done, do you have to go back once it heals? How long does it last? How often do you need to get it done?
