What is Microblading?

Microblading is the artistic technique of tattooing individual hair strokes with a handheld tool called a microblade. Unlike traditional tattooing, which uses a machine, microblading artists hand draw each hair to match the color and coarseness of your eyebrows. The result? Gorgeous, natural looking eyebrows.

How long does it last?

Microbladed eyebrows last 1 to 2 years for most people, before it usually needs a touch up. For permanent lips and eyeliner, it lasts 3 to 5 years.

Does it hurt?

Most clients report little or no pain! We use a topical anesthetic before the procedure to numb the affected area.

You'll be able to wear your new brows back to brunch! In the first 7 days, you'll need to avoid getting them wet, working out or wearing brow makeup. Read more on Aftercare here. It takes about 30 days to completely heal, in which time you may experience mild scabbing. Read more about the healing process here. Eyeliner and lip service will be swollen for 2 days after treatment.

What is the aftercare?

Stay out of the sun and water while your microblading heals.
Avoid chlorine, exfoliation creams, and sun exposure; they may cause your color to fade.
We recommend applying a small amount of A&D ointment twice a day.

What is the difference between microblading vs. micropigmentation?

Technically microblading is a form of micropigmentation, but we use a microblade to hand draw individual hair strokes. Micropigmentation specialists use a permanent makeup machine, which offers less control and results in blurrier strokes.

Does it look like REAL HAIR?

No more drawing my eyebrows every morning? Really?

YES! This treatment transforms people's lives! That's why I’m so passionate about the work we do.
