Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow enhancement technique that uses a manual hand tool with fine needles to create individual hair-like strokes. The pigment is deposited into the upper layers of the skin, creating natural-looking, fuller brows that last 12-18 months. It's also known as eyebrow embroidery, feather brows, or 3D/6D brows.

Microshading creates a soft, powdered effect that looks like filled-in brow makeup. Using either a manual tool or PMU machine, pigment is gently deposited to create a gradient effect—lighter at the front, more defined at the tail. Also called powder brows or ombre brows, this technique is ideal for those who prefer a more polished, makeup-ready look. Learn more about our techniques →
Microblading uses a manual hand tool to create hair strokes, while nano brows use a digital machine for even finer, more precise strokes. Nano brows typically last longer (18-24 months vs 12-18 months) and work better on oily or mature skin types that may not hold microblading as well. Both create natural-looking results.
Combination brows blend two techniques: hair-like strokes at the front of the brow (using microblading or nano technique) transitioning into soft powder shading through the body and tail. This creates beautiful dimension and is our most popular service because it suits virtually every face shape and style. See combination brow pricing →
This is designed to be a gentle procedure with minimal discomfort. The degree of discomfort will depend on several factors, such as if you opt for anesthetics, the location of the treatment, and your pain threshold. In the beginning, you will feel a scratching feeling while we are marking the shape and design of the brow. A numbing cream is then applied which is absorbed into the skin within a few seconds. Once the cream has absorbed, you will have very little or no feeling.
At Lavishing Eyebrows, microblading starts at $399 (sale price, regular $500). Ombre/powder brows are also $399. Our most popular option—combination brows—is $599 and includes the touch-up appointment. All services include a consultation and aftercare kit. View complete pricing →
Plan for 2-3 hours for your initial appointment. This includes consultation, brow mapping and design, numbing, the procedure itself, and aftercare review. Touch-up appointments are shorter, typically 1-1.5 hours.
A consultation is included with every service and can be done the same day as your procedure. During the consultation, we'll assess your brows, discuss your goals, review your medical history, and design your ideal brow shape. You'll approve everything before we begin. A $50 deposit is required to book and is applied toward your service.
Everyone's skin retains pigment differently. The touch-up appointment (scheduled 6-8 weeks after your initial procedure) allows us to assess how your skin healed, fill in any areas that appear light, and perfect the shape and color. Touch-ups are included with full-price services and the combo brows package.
The brow design is drawn in pencil so you get an idea of shape and form.
A photo is taken of you so we can study the symmetry of your features. No one is exactly the same, and what we see as your ideal brow might not be what you want, we want to achieve your perfect brow. Our goal is to obtain symmetry and communicate realistic expectations. Please remember we can’t make you look like your favorite celebrity, we are brow artists, not plastic surgeons but we can definitely make your brows looks amazingly beautiful!
Most clients describe the sensation as light scratching or minor pressure—not painful. We apply a medical-grade numbing cream before and during the procedure to ensure your comfort. In the beginning, you'll feel a scratching sensation while we map the shape, but once the numbing cream takes effect, you'll have very little to no feeling. Many clients are pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the process is.
We take extra care with clients who are sensitive to discomfort. Additional numbing can be applied throughout the procedure as needed. That said, if you're extremely pain-intolerant, microblading may not be the best choice. We're happy to discuss your concerns during a consultation.
Results typically last 12-18 months for microblading and 18-24 months for nano brows and ombre/powder brows. Longevity depends on several factors including your skin type (oily skin fades faster), sun exposure, skincare products used, and overall lifestyle. Most clients schedule a color boost touch-up annually to maintain their results. View touch-up pricing →
Absolutely! Our goal is to enhance your natural beauty, not create an artificial look. We custom-design each brow based on your facial structure, bone structure, and personal preferences. The "sisters, not twins" philosophy applies—we create symmetry while respecting that no two sides of your face are identical. See real results in our portfolio →
Clients with oily skin can absolutely get microblading, but should have realistic expectations. Oily skin tends to cause pigment to fade faster and strokes may appear softer or more blended over time. Nano brows or powder brows often work better for oily skin types. We'll discuss the best technique for your skin during your consultation.
Microblading is great for:
Microblading is not recommended for those who are:
If you're unsure whether you're a candidate, contact us for a consultation.
If you have a history of severe allergic reactions, a patch test can be performed 48 hours before your procedure. Patch tests are available upon request. Otherwise, you can sign a waiver prior to your procedure. Please inform us of any allergies during your consultation.
If you're under a physician's care for any medical condition, please bring a release form stating it's safe for you to have microblading performed. Your doctor knows best whether you'll heal without complications or if you have a compromised immune system. When in doubt, a consultation is recommended.
To prepare for your appointment:
Healing takes about 6-8 weeks. Your brows will appear dark for the first few days, then flake and peel around days 5-7. After flaking, they may look light or patchy—this is normal! The color blooms back over weeks 3-4. By week 6-8, you'll see your true healed results and come in for your touch-up. See our day-by-day healing guide →
