Microblading is carried out using a manual hand tool rather than a traditional tattoo machine. A blade which is made up of very tiny needles is inserted into the end of the handpiece and then used to etch simulated hairstrokes into the upper layers of the skin. Pigment is then put over the area to allow it to sink into the skin and create the tattoo. It is actually not as painful as it sounds when carried out by an experienced technician.
What is the difference between microblading and ombre brows?
Microblading creates a hairstroke effect in the skin and gives a very natural outcome, whereas Ombre does not have any hairstrokes at all, it is more of a powdered effect but with soft edges. I always advise my clients that if you wear brow makeup on a daily basis then ombre may be more suited to you
How much does microblading cost?
Microblading is £250 for the full treatment which includes a consultation, the first treatment and the perfecting appointment 6 weeks later.
How long does microblading last?
Semi permanent makeup treatments are designed to last around 2-5 years. Once healed the colour will gradually fade over time and you will lose definition in the shape. Elements such as sun exposure and genetics can have an impact on how long they will last which is why we recommend a colour boost appointment every 12-18 months to keep your brows looking fresh
