Microblading FAQs
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.
How long does the appointment last?
2-3 Hours depending on the artist and if there are any corrections needed.
What is the price?
Price varies depending on what Microblading service is being performed: Strokes, Ombre or a combination of both. Starts at $599 and up. If additional Touch Up Services are necessary after the "complimentary" follow up appointment, that may result in an additional charge. Correction botched eyebrow work by another artist may result in an additional fee as well.

Microblading FAQs
Can Microblading Cover Scars?
It's great for that! But we recommend sending us a photo of your eyebrows without makeup so one of our artists can review and let you know whether you’re a candidate for microblading.
What is The Difference Between Microblading & Micro Pigmentation
Technically microblading is a form of micropigmentation, but we use a microblade to hand draw individual hair strokes. Micropigmentation specialists use a permanent makeup machine, which offers less control and results in blurrier strokes.
Does It Look Like Real Hair?
Yes! Because we hand draw every hair stroke, you'll marvel at this super precise technique.
