FAQ
What is microblading?
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.

Microbladed eyebrows can last up to 1 to 2 years for most people. Some clients may return as soon as 6-9 months for touch ups depending on skin type and personal preference.
