1. What exactly is microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing technique where pigment is manually implanted into the skin to create natural-looking, hair-like strokes, enhancing the shape, fullness, and symmetry of your eyebrows.
2. How long does microblading last?
Typically, results last between 12 and 18 months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Annual touch-ups are recommended to maintain the best appearance.
3. Does microblading hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as mild discomfort rather than pain. A topical numbing cream is applied before and during the procedure to ensure you remain comfortable.
4. Is microblading safe?
Absolutely — when performed by a licensed and trained artist like Jolanta. We use sterile, single-use tools and the highest quality pigments for your safety and beautiful results.
5. What is the healing process like?
Healing takes about 4–6 weeks. Expect initial darkness and slight scabbing. Proper aftercare is crucial for the best pigment retention. A touch-up session perfects your brows after healing.
6. Can microblading work for oily skin?
Yes, but oily skin may experience faster fading and softer strokes. Jolanta adjusts techniques or recommends options like combination brows for longer-lasting results on oily skin.
7. What’s the difference between microblading and microshading?
Microblading uses fine strokes to mimic natural hairs, while microshading creates a soft, powdered look — like a makeup effect. Some clients benefit from a combination of both!
8. How do I prepare for my microblading appointment?
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine, retinol, and blood thinners for 24–48 hours prior.
- Protect your brows from sun exposure.
- Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face and relaxed mindset.
9. How do I care for my brows after microblading?
- Keep brows clean and dry.
- Apply healing ointment as instructed.
- Avoid makeup, sweating, sun exposure, and swimming for at least 2 weeks.
- Allow natural flaking — do not pick!
10. Do I need a touch-up?
Yes! A touch-up session 4–6 weeks after the initial procedure ensures color, shape, and definition are perfected and long-lasting.
11. Who is an ideal candidate for microblading?
Anyone looking to enhance sparse, thin, or asymmetrical brows! It’s especially transformative for people affected by hair loss, over-plucking, aging, or medical conditions.
12. How much does microblading cost?
Pricing reflects the premium artistry, customized service, and lasting results Jolanta delivers. Think of it as an investment in your confidence and beauty. (Contact us for current pricing and promotions!)
13. Can men get microblading too?
Absolutely! Jolanta customizes brow designs to suit masculine features, ensuring a subtle, natural enhancement without appearing overly styled.
14. Will I still need to use brow makeup?
After healing, many clients skip daily brow products altogether. However, for special occasions, some enhance their microbladed brows with a light tinted gel or pencil if desired.
