Question 1

What is Microblading?

Accepted Answer

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.

What is the healing process like after microblading?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 13

Often we cannot. But if the previous tattoo or permanent makeup has faded considerably, sometimes we can. We will have to use a combo or shading technique. Read our blog on the subject for everything you need to know about covering up eyebrow tattoos where you can also see pictures of our results.

Question 16

What is the difference between microblading vs. micropigmentation?

Accepted Answer

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.
