What is Microblading?Microblading is a cosmetic tattoo procedure of adding inked micro incisions imitating hair strokes using 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.

What is the difference between Microblading, Ombré Brows and Combo Brows?"Microblading is created using a hand tool and a micro-blade to hand draw individual hair strokes. It is good for clients with dry to normal skin who wants more of a natural look. It is also good for clients who have a generous even amount of thin eyebrow hairs on both sides. Ombré Brows are done using a PMU tattoo machine to create gradual tiny dots (shading) to mimic a makeup look. It is good for all skin types and eyebrow circumstances. The boldness of the shading can be customized according to your preference. Combo Brows are done using both techniques to create hairstrokes and shading.It is good for all skin types and eyebrow circumstances.

How long does it last?Tattooed eyebrows can lasts up to 1-3 years for most people before a touch-up is needed--this is dependent on your skin type, lifestyle and the way your body heals. For tattooed lips, it can last up to 3-5 years.

How long does it take to heal?It takes about 30 days for your tattoo to completely heal and see the true results. You will see the physical healing process during the first 2 weeks which starts off with bold brows then peeling skin starting at day 3-4 as your body regenerates new skin. Your brows will get lighter as your new brows peel off at the end of the first 1-2 weeks. The pigment will then resurface the last 2 weeks before your perfecting session. The process will be the same for your perfecting session--there will be less scabbing if less work is needed.

What is the difference between microblading vs micropigmentation?Microblading is technically a form of micropigmentation. With this technique, a hand tool and micro-blade is used to hand draw individual hair strokes while implanting pigment into your skin. Micropigmentation is generally made using a PMU tattoo machine. It implants tiny pigmented dots into the skin to create the desired look. It can be used for all other cosmetic tattoos like Ombré Brows, Combo Brows, lip tints and eyeliners, etc.
