Frequently asked questions
What is Microblading?
Microblading is a technique of tattooing individual hair strokes with a handheld tool called a microblade. Microblading artists hand draw each hair to match the color and coarseness of your eyebrows. The results are natural looking eyebrows.
How long does it last?
Microbladed eyebrows last 1 to 3 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 also have the option of taking two over the counter Tylenol tablets prior to arriving for your appointment to reduce discomfort.
Why Choose Microbblading?

Should I prepare for my appointment?
Before your appointment, we highly encourage our clients to have an image of the brows they are looking for. Eyebrows comes in many shapes and styles, from feathered to bold, arched to straight. We will work with you to customize your best brows. In the week before your appointment, we recommend avoiding blood thinners, aspirin, alcohol or using retinol creams.
