Microblading is the artistic technique of creating 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 hair strokes that resemble real hair. Best for dry to combo/normal skin.

Shading uses our patented The Brow Guru™️ motorized device, with one or three needles to add a soft, airbrushed and makeup look to your brows that resembles soft makeup once healed.
This is great for oily skin, large pores, tattoo coverups, color corrections, or people who want more of a makeup look.

Microblading is great for a more soft, and natural look. It resembles “hair” strokes, not makeup so it is the most natural of the two. Once your brows heal you can apply makeup if you like for a special occasion for a more done up look. Oily skin, old tattoos or cover ups and very thin brows may need to do shading or combo brows instead based on their current brow situation. Your artist will suggest what is best for you. Shading or combo brows look more like “makeup” but still is a very soft, airbrushed look.

Microbladed eyebrows last 1 to 2 years after the initial 6-12 week “perfecting session”, before it usually needs a touch up, depending on skin type and lifestyle.
For micro shading, it lasts 2 to 5 years, after the initial perfecting session in 3-6 months.

It usually takes a total of 2 hours, with most of the time spent going over consult forms, colors, drawing eyebrow shapes and after care. The actual microblading portion lasts 30-45 minutes. With Shading appointments usually are 3 hours with actual shading taking 45-90 minutes, max. Don’t worry we are constantly numbing you during the service. You may be swollen after so plan accordingly.
