In college, I studied fine arts at The Art Institute of Chicago. Throughout school, I worked in the cosmetic industry as a Makeup Artist. It was the perfect fit since I was able to take my talent of drawing and painting to life through makeup artistry. As an artist, I knew the importance of eyebrows as it's a persons most prominent feature. The brows accentuate the eyes, shape of the face and play a powerful role in communication.
With perseverance and many years of experience, I became the National Director/ National Makeup Artist for 3 major luxury cosmetic brands throughout the years. I've been fortunate to travel the world working runway/ fashion shows, high end photo shoots and have worked on many celebrity faces along the way.
After 15 years in the beauty industry, I decided to enter the medical field to get a better understanding of the multiple up and coming cosmetic procedures including Microblading. During my 9 years working in a successful medical practice, Microblading became especially enticing to me since I had a personal need to achieve fuller looking brows due to my early years of over Tweezing. With my strong makeup artistry skills and my knowledge of proper sterilization, I've found my true passion and calling as a Microblading Specialist.
Microblading is an eyebrow enhancement technique that improves the shape, definition, and thickness of the brows. Microblading allows people all over the world to stop worrying about their make up, either smudging or washing it off accidentally. It is suited for all types of eyebrows, with equally luscious effects, and although it seems similar to the process of tattooing the eyebrows, there are some critical differences.
Ombré Powder Brows (also known as powder, mist, micro shading, ombré shading, or stardust brows) was developing in Asia. Ombré Powder Brows differs from traditional tattooing in that it is surface work—meaning, the application is done on the epidermis layer of the skin. The technique is described by its name, with results being powdery with a faded front and a crisp tail, resembling the look of makeup
A Hybrid Brow or fusion/combo brows a combination of micro pigmentation and microblading. Micropigmentation is a technique done with a digital machine that implants pigment a little deeper in the skin creating a very soft and powdery look after healing is complete.
Lip blushing is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that uses water-based inks to achieve a tinted, natural-looking lip color. It's valued as a less-invasive alternative to lip fillers.
Microblading is the simple process in which a manual hand-held machine is used to create a natural hair stroke at the targeted area. Initially, this method was used on eyebrows as a permanent way of saying goodbye to the several makeup accessories which were used to create the natural and fuller eyebrow look. Now, this method is being used to cure the baldness on one’s head. In order to make the procedure successful, the natural hair length and its texture are properly analyzed so that the new hair stroke could be placed in a similar manner. The new hair stroke is placed with the help of the sterilized blades which are also called the micro-blades.
is a medical, non-surgical, cosmetic tattoo that gives the illusion of a close buzz cut hairstyle on a bald head or adds density to a thinning hairline. The procedure can also be used to conceal scars from hair transplantation, hide the visual impact of burns or treat hair loss through skin conditions such as Alopecia.

Tina is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend her. I have gone to her twice to get my eyebrows microbladed (original and then 6 month touch up), and most recently lip blushing. She is so good at what she does- my eyebrows and lips look awesome- I honestly get complimented everywhere I go. Tina is incredibly kind, and makes you feel so comfortable during the entire process. I trust her 100% and already have my next touch up scheduled with her!

Tina was amazing! She did a fantastic job on my brows (which were very thin) and completely transformed them. A genuinely wonderful person with a warm personality. I will continue to see her for touch-ups. Highly recommend.

What is Microblading?
Microblading is a type of eyebrow architecture. It’s all about creating the best shape for each face- a different approach for each individual client.
The process is very precise thanks to the tool that is used. It’s effective like a pen with the tip being a sloped blade with 10-14 tiny needles. The needles don’t penetrate the skin but just delicately scratch the surface, much like a paper cut.
The needle very finely implants featherweight strokes with medical grade pigments on the epidermis layer for the skin, creating realistic and natural hair strokes.
How do you know what shape to go for?
Clients are welcome to bring images of the brows you like or come in with the brow makeup you normally wear on a day to day basis- but I’ll suggest the color and shape to use from my many years of experience.
How do you know what color to use?
I’ll look at your hair color, eye color and skin tone using the Fitzpatrick Chart to ensure the correct color pigment choice.
How do you get the right shape?
I’ll measure your eyebrows using a microblading ruler to help choose the perfect shape of your brows which is individual to each client. Based on this, I’ll freehand the final shape.
Does microblading hurt?
Microblading should not be painful, especially if the proper numbing procedure and ointment are applied. It also depends on the skill of the microblader. The more skilled, the less discomfort one should feel.
What happens when you get your eyebrows microbladed?
1. I will shape the eyebrows by tweezing your existing eyebrows in preparation for the treatment.
2. Numbing- this will take about 30-40 minutes by using a topical ointment. While the ointment is taking its effect, I’ll show you color swatches and together we’ll discuss the best shade for your desired look.
3. Around 10 minutes before the numbing cream takes full effect, I’ll begin measuring around the area your brows.
4. I will begin with the microblading pen implanting pigment using featherweight strokes to achieve the look of natural brow hair.
5. Lastly a final layer of pigment is placed for a minimun of 5 minutes to settle into the featherweight strokes.
When do I come back for a touch up and why?
Touch up sessions are scheduled for 4-6 weeks out from your initial appointment. It will be the same process as the initial microblading session only this time I’ll add further strokes and darker pigment if needed.
How long does microblading last?
With appropriate care, microblading should last between 12-18 months (please be wary if some say that it will last up to 3 years). The longevity of the pigment will depend on your lifestyle and skin type. People that are slightly more oily will tend to fade closer to the 12 month mark, while normal skin types can last closer to 18 months.
What is microblading and how does it enhance eyebrows?
Microblading is eyebrow architecture that creates a tailored eyebrow shape for each client by implanting fine, featherweight strokes of pigment on the skin's surface to resemble natural hair.

Does microblading hurt during the procedure?
Microblading should not be painful due to proper numbing procedures and ointments, and less discomfort is expected if performed by a skilled microblader.
What is the process involved when getting eyebrows microbladed at GG Microblading?
The process involves eyebrow shaping, numbing with topical ointment, measuring the brows, implanting pigment with featherweight strokes, and applying a final pigment layer to settle.
When should I schedule a touch-up appointment and why?
Touch-ups are scheduled 4-6 weeks after the initial session to add further strokes or darker pigment as needed to perfect your brows.
