Frequently asked questions
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. The retention is 60% and it lasts from 10-18 months
Microbladed eyebrows last 10-18 months for most people, before it usually needs a touch up. For permanent lips and eyeliner, it lasts 3 to 5 years.
Most clients report little or no pain! We use a topical anesthetic before the procedure to numb the affected area.
You can find detailed pricing information on our pricing page. We offer a range of services to fit your needs and budget.
A typical appointment lasts about 2 hours. Most of this time is dedicated to discussing colors and designing the perfect eyebrow shape for you. The actual microblading process takes approximately 30-45 minutes.

To prepare for your microblading appointment, we recommend browsing our Instagram to get an idea of the different eyebrow shapes and styles we offer. Our artists will help you customize the perfect brows for you. In the week leading up to your appointment, please avoid blood thinners, aspirin, alcohol, and retinol creams to ensure the best results.
The initial healing period for microblading is about 7 days, during which you should avoid getting your brows wet, working out, or wearing brow makeup. Full healing takes approximately 30 days, and you may experience mild scabbing during this time. For eyeliner and lip services, expect some swelling for the first 2 days after treatment.
We offer a complimentary touch up between 4-8 weeks of your appointment. After that, we charge a fee.
No, we do not recommend microblading while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Microblading may not be suitable for individuals with oily skin or large pores; in such cases, a shading or combination technique might be recommended.
