Microblading + Shading

$800.00

Microblading + Shading (Combo Brows) is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the eyebrows by combining two techniques. It involves implanting pigment into the upper layers of the skin using both a specialized handheld tool for microblading and a machine technique for soft shading.

The artist creates fine, hair-like strokes to mimic the natural direction and thickness of real brow hairs, while adding a soft, diffused shading throughout the brow to create depth and fullness. This combination is ideal for those who want a natural yet more defined look — perfect for filling in sparse areas, improving shape, and adding a soft, powdered effect.

Microblading + Shading typically lasts 18 to 24 months, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. A perfecting session is usually recommended 6–8 weeks after the initial procedure to refine shape, density, and color. For long-term maintenance, it’s best to wait 12 to 18 months before scheduling a color refresh, allowing the pigment to naturally fade and avoid over-saturation over time.

  • Does it hurt?

    A topical numbing cream is applied before and during treatment. Sensitivity varies; mild discomfort may occur, especially during menstrual cycles.

    How long does it take?

    Each session takes 2–3 hours, including numbing, outlining, tattooing, and refining.

    How long does it last?

    Results fade gradually based on skin type and lifestyle. Most clients return for a touch-up at 6–8 weeks, then a refresh every 18–24 months.

    Do different skin types heal differently?

    Yes. Dry skin tends to heal with crisp strokes, while oily skin may heal softer. Aftercare and lifestyle greatly affect results.

  • After your initial touch-up, you may refresh every 1–3 years depending on pigment retention and skin type.
    You’re ready for a refresh when your brows have faded about 50 % and hair strokes appear soft or faint.

    If they still look dark or well-defined, it’s too soon to revisit—please email photos for approval before booking.

  • Due to high demand, consultations are done the same day as your service and included in your deposit.

    • Avoid Aspirin, Advil, Aleve, Ibuprofen, Niacin, Fish Oil, and Vitamin E (consult your physician first)

    If you’ve had cancer or serious illness, you must be in remission for at least 1 year and provide a physician’s note.

    Note: Although we've seen excellent results achieved in a single session, it is best to come in with the mindset that multiple sessions are sometimes required to achieve optimal results. Touch ups give us an opportunity to see how your skin heals, review pigment retention, and make any necessary adjustments.

  • Every client heals uniquely. Here’s what to expect and how to care for your new brows.

    Healing Process (0–8 Weeks)

    • Brows will appear darker and more defined at first.

    • Swelling and slight tenderness are normal for a few days.

    • Light flaking may occur—avoid scratching or picking.

    • True color appears between 6–8 weeks as skin naturally exfoliates.

    Care Tips

    • Avoid water, makeup, and sweating for 10 days

    • Do not expose brows to sun, chlorine, or exfoliants during healing

    • Once healed, wear SPF daily and avoid harsh acids or retinols on the area

    A touch-up at 6-8 weeks is highly recommended for the best result.
