Microblading & PMU Brows

Everything You Need to Know

What Are Permanent Makeup Brows?

Permanent makeup (PMU) brows enhance your natural beauty by creating fuller, more defined eyebrows using specialized tattooing techniques. Whether you choose manual microblading or machine hairstroke brows, both methods are designed to mimic real brow hairs for a natural, effortless look.​

Microblading vs. Machine Hairstroke Brows?

 

Microblading (Manual Technique)

Microblading is a hand-applied technique using a fine, sterile blade to deposit pigment into the skin, creating hair-like strokes for a natural look.

✔ Best for normal to dry skin
✔ Creates a soft, natural effect
✔ Fades over time, requiring touch-ups every 12-18 months
✔ Ideal for clients with some existing brow hair

 

Machine Hairstroke Brows

This method uses a tattoo machine with an ultra-fine needle to implant pigment into the skin, offering a more precise and less invasive alternative to microblading.

✔ Suitable for all skin types, including oily & mature skin
✔ Less trauma to the skin, resulting in longer-lasting, even fading
✔ Ideal for those with sensitive skin or minimal brow hair
✔ Requires less frequent touch-ups than microblading

 

What to Expect During Your Microblading Session

  1. Brow Mapping & Shaping – We take precise measurements to create the perfect brow shape for your face.

  2. Color Selection – A pigment shade is chosen to match your natural brows and skin tone.

  3. Microblading Process – Fine, hair-like strokes are created with a sterile, manual blade or tattoo machine to achieve a natural look.

  4. Healing & Touch-Ups – Your brows will go through a healing process, with final results appearing in a few weeks. A touch-up session is recommended after 6-8 weeks to perfect the results.

​

How Long Do Microbladed & PMU Brows Last?

Results typically last 1-3 years depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.

To maintain fresh, defined brows, annual touch-ups are recommended.

​

Does It Hurt?

Pain levels vary from person to person, but we use a high-strength numbing cream to keep you comfortable. Most clients describe the sensation as a slight scratching or pressure, with minimal discomfort.
