Microblading vs Hairstroke Brows – Why We’ve Moved Forward
What is Microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent brow tattooing technique that uses a manual handheld blade to create fine, hair-like strokes on the skin. It’s been a popular solution for clients with sparse, thin, or uneven eyebrows, offering a natural look that can last from 12 to 18 months.
Microblading became widely known for its ability to mimic real eyebrow hairs and transform over-plucked brows into fuller, more defined shapes.
Important Note: Microblading is Not For Everyone
While microblading delivers beautiful results for some, it's only suitable for dry to normal skin types. Clients with oily, sensitive, or mature skin often experience:
- Blurry strokes
- Uneven pigment retention
- This is why we've transitioned to a more advanced and versatile method: Hairstroke Brows.
Why We No Longer Offer Microblading
At our studio, we’re committed to offering the safest, most effective, and skin-friendly techniques. After years of working with both methods, we’ve decided to fully transition to Hairstroke Brow – a gentler, more refined, and longer-lasting alternative.
