Microblading for Monterey

Monterey is one of the longer coastal drives, up 101 or along Highway 1. If sea air, wind and the water are part of daily life, you’ll get clear guidance on keeping fresh pigment dry for the first two weeks.

Getting here from Monterey

CA-1 or US-101 north, about the length of the bay.

US-101 north through Salinas and Gilroy is the most direct route; Highway 1 is slower but scenic. Arriving 15 minutes late cancels the appointment, so leave margin.

Whether you’re in New Monterey, Pacific Grove, Carmel, Seaside or Marina, the studio at 900 S Winchester Blvd, Suite 9, San José, is about 69 miles, roughly 1 hr 30 min without traffic from central Monterey.

Healing in Monterey

Cool sea air is easy on healing skin, but the ocean isn’t: no swimming, surfing or diving for about two weeks after each session.

Questions

Coming from Monterey

I dive and surf. How long do I need to stay out?

About two weeks after each session. Plan your appointments between trips rather than just before one.

How many trips from Monterey will I need?

Two: the full appointment, then a touch-up six to eight weeks later once you’ve healed. After that, a colour refresh every year or two.
