What is Microblading?

​

Microblading is a new and updated semi-permanent makeup technique.  The needle very finely implants featherweight strokes with a medical grade pigment on the epidermis layer of the skin, creating fine, realistic and natural hair strokes which mimic natural hair.  I create the fullness and realistic shape of the eyebrows to create your desired look.

​

How long does Microblading last?

​

Microblading lasts anything between 12 to 18 months depending on your skin type.  People with slightly more oily skin will tend to last around the 12 month mark before needing a top up.  Those with normal skin can last up to 18 months.

​

Does Microblading hurt?

​

It doesn't hurt as such, it is more a sensation.  Sometimes it is the sound of the blade that people find worse! 

​
