If you are interested in the beauty industry, this won’t be the first time you hear about Microblading. This term has been around for almost a decade and is still a very popular topic. Today, I hope to add or remind a little of information that to me is worth knowing if you are planning on getting microblading.

The end results is more natural compared to other regular eyebrow tattoo, if performed on the right skin type and condition. After-care is also crucial to achieve optimal result since UV ray and activities during skin healing period can affect 50% of the final result. So please make sure you read the after-care instruction carefully.

At this touch-up, adjustment will be made to give client the best result. Why? Because each client will have different pigment retention and their skin work differently.
