Answer: Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure used to enhance and shape eyebrows. It involves the precise application of pigment to create the appearance of natural eyebrow hair strokes.
Answer: Microblading typically lasts 1-3 years, depending on factors like skin type, aftercare, and lifestyle. Touch-up sessions are recommended to maintain the desired look.
Answer: Some discomfort can be experienced, but most clients find the procedure tolerable. Topical numbing creams are used to minimize any pain or discomfort during the process.
Answer: A Microblading session usually takes 2-3 hours, including consultation, design, numbing, and the actual procedure.
