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.
