What is Microblading? Everything You Need to Know Before Booking
What is Microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow tattooing technique designed to create natural-looking, fuller brows. Using a handheld tool with ultra-fine needles, a trained microblading artist deposits pigment into the skin in fine, hair-like strokes. This mimics natural brow hair, creating a defined yet realistic appearance.
Unlike traditional eyebrow tattoos, microblading uses a manual technique rather than a machine, allowing for a more precise, natural look. The pigments used in microblading are also semi-permanent, meaning they will gradually fade over time instead of leaving a permanent mark like traditional tattoos.
✅ Long-Lasting: Typically lasts 12-18 months before a touch-up is needed. ✅ Waterproof & Smudge-Proof: Wake up with perfect brows—no more filling in daily! ✅ Customizable Shape & Color: Designed to complement your facial structure & skin tone.
Who is a Good Candidate for Microblading?
While microblading is a great solution for many, some people will see better results than others based on their skin type and lifestyle.
Best Candidates for Microblading:
✔️ People with thin, sparse, or uneven brows ✔️ Anyone tired of filling in their eyebrows daily ✔️ Those who want natural-looking brows without makeup ✔️ Clients with normal to dry skin (microblading lasts longer on dry skin)
Who Might Not Be a Good Fit?
❌ Those prone to keloid scarring – Microblading may not heal well ❌ Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals – Not recommended due to hormonal changes affecting pigment retention ❌ Clients undergoing chemotherapy – Consult with a doctor before booking

Common Myths vs. Facts About Microblading
There are many misconceptions about microblading, and we’re here to clear them up!
❌ Myth: "Microblading is the same as a tattoo." ✔️ Fact: Microblading is a form of semi-permanent tattooing, but unlike traditional tattoos, the pigment is deposited more superficially, allowing it to fade naturally over time.
❌ Myth: "Microblading will damage my natural brows." ✔️ Fact: When done correctly by a licensed professional, microblading does not damage natural eyebrow hair. In fact, it can enhance your brows by providing structure and fullness.
❌ Myth: "Microblading looks fake." ✔️ Fact: A skilled artist creates fine, hair-like strokes that blend seamlessly with your natural brows. The goal is to make your brows look effortlessly natural.
❌ Myth: "Microblading is painful." ✔️ Fact: A numbing cream is applied before and during the procedure to minimize discomfort. Most clients report a mild scratching sensation but no significant pain.
