Microblading
Booking Fee: $100 — First Session: $350 — Touch Up: $100 — Total Investment: $550
Microblading is an advanced manual method of cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation. It is performed using a very fine, sterile, 100% disposable hand tool to deposit pigment into the epidermis. This method is ideal for anyone wanting to enhance the look of their eyebrows. The results are natural looking, hair-like strokes, regardless of the amount of natural brow hair present. Please be prepared that eyebrow color intensity will be significantly darker and sharper within the first few days of the procedure, but fade significantly (approximately 30-50%) over the healing period. Results and longevity vary greatly from person to person. However, we recommend a Touch-Up annually to retain ideal shape and saturation of pigment.

These are the studio favorite! The Brow Babes like to ensure our clients are informed about their permanent makeup decisions and this is HANDS DOWN our favorite! This is our favorite service for numerous reasons including: longevity, skin health, suitable for all skin types, and initial healed results are more consistent. Powder brow/Microshading uses modern tattooing techniques to implant pigment into your skin, creating a soft powdery finish which looks like makeup. They are fully customizable– from a soft powdery finish to ultra-defined pomade style brows. We can even add a few hairstrokes at the front to get you a softer overall finish! The effects will be waterproof, smudge-proof and completely realistic. It lasts longer than Microblading, typically around 2 years on average, depending on the client’s skin type, lifestyle and various other factors. Over time, pigment fades leaving the skin and your natural brows behind. A Touch-Up is recommended.
Brow FAQs
- Differences DIFFERENT TECHNIQUE. The biggest difference between microblading vs ombre brows is the method used and the results achieved. Microblading is done by manually creating micro incisions on the skin surface and filling them with pigments. The strokes through the skin resemble hairs. Ombre powder brows are done by dotting (some artists call this method ‘pixelization’, others call it ‘airbrushing’) in a specific pattern, where the dot saturation is gradually increased towards the tail, so there is no dragging through the skin.
- LESS INVASIVE. There is less pain and bleeding with microshading/ombre powder brows. The ombre technique is less damaging to the skin, as there is no constant opening and dragging of the blade through the skin. Of course, every skin will behave differently and there is no way of knowing until the procedure starts, but this is a general tendency.
- MORE LONG-LASTING RESULTS. The average lifespan of microbladed brows is 18 months to 2 years, while ombre brows last longer due to the technique used – 2 to 3 years, but they can last even longer with touch ups.
- Hypertrophic scarring. Without a shadow of doubt microblading creates scarring. It can be seen long after the ink has faded. I don’t know about you but scarring up the skin is the exact opposite of what our goal is. Scar tissue will make it difficult as the years progress to touch up evenly. P
