Top 10 Reasons Microblading is a Good Option For You

You’ve surely heard the buzz about brows lately and all of the new ways to enhance them without using a pencil everyday, and one of those top buzz words is Microblading.

Microblading has gained significant popularity in recent years as a semi-permanent solution for enhancing eyebrows. If you’ve been thinking about a eyebrow overhaul, here are the top 10 reasons why microblading may be the perfect option for you:

1. Natural-looking results:

Microblading involves meticulously creating individual hair-like strokes, resulting in a more natural appearance compared to traditional eyebrow tattoos. The technique allows for precise customization, matching the color and shape of natural eyebrows. Just think, your brows…but better.

2. Long-lasting effect:

While microblading is not permanent, it can last for up to two years with proper care. This durability makes it a convenient choice for people who desire long-term results without the commitment of permanent makeup, but who are tired of drawing their brows in everyday.

3. Time-saving solution:

Many of us spend significant time each day shaping and filling in their eyebrows. With microblading, you can wake up with perfectly shaped brows, saving time during your daily makeup routine.

4. Restoring or enhancing thinning eyebrows:

Are you a victim of over plucking, or age related hair loss? Microblading is an excellent option for people with sparse or thinning eyebrows. It can fill in gaps, define the arch, and create the illusion of fuller brows, boosting confidence and self-esteem.

5. Correcting asymmetrical eyebrows:

If you have naturally uneven eyebrows, microblading can help balance their appearance. By carefully measuring and shaping the brows, the technician can create a more symmetrical and harmonious look. This correction will vary from individual to individual. Over-correcting asymmetry can actually end up producing a less desirable and unnatural look.

The goal is to work as closely as possible to the natural brow hair line, and make subtle adjustments to achieve a more symmetrical look. Your brow artist should be doing a consult with you prior to your appointment to go over expectations, discuss shape, and explain how the desired result will be achieved.

6. Minimal discomfort:

The number one question asked by those considering microblading… “Does it hurt?”.  Short answer, it should not. Having said that, everyone has different levels of pain tolerance, and also reacts to the numbing agents differently. During the microblading process, a numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort.

While some individuals may experience mild sensitivity, the procedure is generally well-tolerated and relatively painless. When done correctly, the artist is only making an incision to the very top layer of the skin. Since the depth of the blade is quite shallow, there should be minimal pain.

7. Quick procedure and recovery:

Start to finish, microblading sessions typically take around two hours, depending on the individual’s requirements. You can expect a quick 5-10 minute consult at the beginning of the appointment, followed by brow mapping which typically takes 10-20 minutes, followed by 15-20 minutes of numbing.

The actual microblading itself is usually only about an hour. Some brows are harder to map and take longer, adding to the appointment time, and some people who may be more apprehensive or have more questions may need a longer and more in depth consultation period.

The recovery period once your brows are done is relatively short, with some initial redness and mild scabbing that typically fades within a week.

8. Customization options:

Microblading allows for personalized customization. The technician will consider your facial features, skin tone, and desired brow shape to create a tailored result that complements your overall appearance.

The goal is to make your eyebrow tattoo look as natural as it can, and that means taking a very close look at the aforementioned items. Choosing the correct pigments to compliment and work with your complexion and existing hair is one of the most important parts of the procedure.

9. Confidence boost:

Who doesn’t love a good brow day? Well-groomed eyebrows can have a significant impact on your overall look and self-confidence. Microblading provides a semi-permanent solution that enhances your facial features, giving you a boost of confidence in your appearance. Just imaging walking out the door with perfect brows everyday.

10. Low-maintenance:

Unlike traditional eyebrow makeup that requires daily application and touch-ups, microbladed eyebrows require minimal maintenance. With proper care, such as avoiding excessive sun exposure and regular moisturizing, you can enjoy your enhanced brows for an extended period without additional effort. After about 12 months you will see some fading, and most people will come in for a yearly or 18 month touchup to keep their brows looking fresh.

Things To Consider:

It’s important to note that microblading is a cosmetic procedure that should be performed by a trained and experienced professional. It’s recommended to do thorough research, check reviews and certifications, and have a consultation with a qualified technician before deciding to undergo microblading; and of course, find the right artist for YOU!

Almost every artist will have a “signature style”. When doing your research it’s important to find the artist who is already producing the style of brow that you could picture yourself with.

Pro Tip: When reaching out to an artist and during your consultation phase, find a picture of their work that you like to show them what your desired result is. Bringing a picture of someone else’s work might make it difficult for the artist to replicate if they are not familiar with the stroke pattern used, and they may not be able to tell how much brow hair they started with, which can make expectations unrealistic to achieve.

Lastly, once you choose the right artist for you and are healed up and happy don’t forget to pop over to their Google Business Page or Social Media Accounts to give them a review. Reviews are the lifeblood of many small businesses and without support from satisfied customers it can be a real struggle to keep afloat.
