MICROBLADING
We can tell... If you think your eyebrow pencil "works just fine" just so you know we can all tell. The dead giveaway that your "perfect" arch is just a pencil job is the sheer lack of reality. Instead of seeing individual hairs with a natural texture and dimension—some light, some dark, some short, some long—we see a flat, matte block of color painted onto your skin. And let's be real about what happens in the Surprise, AZ, heat: that penciled-in product starts to melt, shine, or smudge by noon. What was supposed to be a flawless look ends up looking like a greasy crayon drawing that's slowly dripping off your face. It's a giveaway that screams, "I spent twenty minutes on this, and it's already failing me." That obvious, drawn-on look is the problem microblading clients are trying to escape.

Stop Coloring. Start Living. Microblading is the Solution.
So, what exactly is microblading and why is it your escape from the daily pencil-struggle?
Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that completely reconstructs or enhances the look of your natural brows. It deposits pigment only into the superficial layers of the skin, creating incredibly realistic, fine hair-like strokesthat look like your own natural brow hairs—not that flat, matte color you get from makeup.
The Process:
-
Consult & Map: Your brow artist custom-designs the perfect shape, color-matches the pigment to your hair and skin, and you approve the final blueprint.
-
Procedure: After applying a topical numbing cream, a specialized manual hand-tool is used to gently etch the hair strokes into the skin. This creates the illusion of a full, defined, and symmetrical brow.
-
Timing: The entire initial procedure takes about 2 to 3 hours, with the majority of that time dedicated to mapping the perfect custom shape.
​
Healing, Maintenance, and Price:
-
Healing Time: The outer layer of skin heals quickly—you'll experience minor scabbing/flaking for about 7–14 days, but the color takes about 4–6 weeks to fully settle into its final, beautiful shade.
​
-
Touch-Ups: Yes, you need one! The initial touch-up at 6–8 weeks is mandatory to reinforce any strokes that faded during the first healing process, perfect the shape, and lock in the color. After that, most clients only need an annual color refresh every 12–18 months.
-
The Investment: You can get this life-changing, sweat-proof, and waterproof solution for only $500, and that price is all-inclusive of your initial session and your essential 6-week perfecting touch-up.

Healing, Maintenance, and Price:
1. Will it look natural on my mature skin? Am I a candidate for Microblading or Ombré/Powder Brow?​
​
-
Mature skin, which is often thinner and has less elasticity, can cause microblading strokes to blur and fade faster than on younger skin. For many women over 40, an Ombré or Combo Brow (a mix of strokes and shading) is the superior, longer-lasting choice. Shading works better because it deposits pigment more gently and widely, preventing the "blurry stroke" issue. We'll assess your skin elasticity during the consultation to recommend the best technique for a soft, beautiful, and lasting result.
​
2. How will the sun/heat in Arizona affect my brows?
-
Intense UV exposure is the #1 cause of premature fading and color change in permanent makeup. You must treat your new brows like a fresh tattoo. For the first two weeks, you must avoid direct sun and excessive sweating. After healing, daily SPF 30 or higher (specifically formulated for the face) is non-negotiable. We recommend a small SPF stick to easily swipe over the brow area after the initial healing phase. This minor step will double the life of your investment.
​
3. Will my brows fade a weird color (blue, red, or gray)?
-
The risk of color changing has drastically reduced with modern, high-quality pigments. Older permanent makeup used carbon-based tattoo ink, which can change to that really ugly blue/gray. We use premium, iron oxide-based pigments designed to fade to a lighter version of the original color, not an unnatural shade. If it fades, it will usually be a soft, dusty light brown, which signals its time for a touch-up.
​
4.How will it interact with my retinol/anti-aging routine?
-
Retinol, Retin-A (Tretinoin), Glycolic Acid, and other chemical exfoliants must be stopped in the brow area for at least 30 days before and after the procedure. Retinol has an effect of spreading on the skin so even if you're really trying to avoid your brow area I would be extra cautious applying it on your forehead after your brows are healed. After your brows are fully healed, you must avoid applying these products directly over or immediately around the brow area. These ingredients accelerate skin cell turnover, which will quickly exfoliate the pigment, causing premature fading.
​
5. I have an existing old tattoo/color. Can you cover it?
​
-
It depends on how dark and saturated the old work is. If the old work is light enough and the shape is manageable, we can often color-correct and reshape it (this is a Cover-Up and is priced as a new service). If the pigment is too dark or too far outside the ideal shape, we will recommend 1-2 sessions of laser tattoo removal first for the best, most natural outcome. I strongly advise against saline removal saline removal is very damaging to the skin and can cause scarring.
