What is Microblading or Nanoblading?
Microblading and nanoblading are semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing techniques that create natural-looking eyebrows using specialized handheld tools with ultra-fine needles to deposit pigment into the skin's upper layers.
Microblading uses a manual blade tool to create precise, feathery strokes that fill in sparse areas and reshape the brow line. Nanoblading employs even finer needles, allowing for more delicate and detailed hair strokes that closely resemble natural brow hair.
Typically lasts 12–18 months depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.
Ideal Candidates
- Have sparse, thin, or over-plucked eyebrows
- Want to save time on daily makeup routines
- Desire more symmetrical or defined brow shapes
- Have lost eyebrow hair due to aging, medical treatments, or conditions
- Want to enhance naturally light eyebrows
- Are looking for natural-looking enhancement rather than dramatic changes
- Have normal to dry skin types (not suitable for very oily skin)
Clients with previous eyebrow tattoos require a consultation to assess suitability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Microblading Hurt?
Most clients describe the pain as similar to eyebrow tweezing, rating it 3–4 out of 10. We apply premium numbing cream before and during the procedure to minimize discomfort.
How Long Does Microblading Last?
Microblading typically lasts 12–18 months. A touch-up session is recommended at 6–8 weeks to perfect the final look.
What is the Healing Process Like?
The brows appear darker immediately after, then peel around day 3–5. By week 4–6 the color settles to its true healed shade. Full healing takes about 6–8 weeks.
Can I Get Microblading if I Have Oily Skin?
Microblading is best suited for normal to dry skin. For oily skin we recommend powder ombré or combination brows — these techniques hold up much better.
How Should I Prepare for My Appointment?
Avoid retinoids and chemical exfoliants for 30 days prior. Skip blood thinners for 7 days before. No alcohol or caffeine 24 hours before. Come with clean, makeup-free brows.
