Microblading cuts fine hair-stroke channels with a manual blade, the most natural look on dry-to-normal skin. Powder (ombré) brows use a machine to build a soft, makeup-like shading that suits every skin type and lasts longer. Nano brows create hair strokes with a single machine needle, microblading's realism with less skin trauma, increasingly the artists' favorite. Oily skin blurs manual strokes, which is why good artists steer oily-skinned clients toward powder or nano.

1–2 years, fading gradually. Oily skin, sun exposure, and retinoid use shorten the life. Most people book a color refresh every 12–18 months. The initial appointment always pairs with a 6–8 week touch-up to perfect strokes after first healing; that touch-up is part of the real price.

Less than people expect. Topical numbing keeps most clients at a "scratchy pressure" level of discomfort. The 2–3 hour appointment is mostly mapping and drawing the shape; the actual blading is a fraction of it. You approve the drawn shape before any pigment touches skin.

Days 1–3, brows look bold and dark, noticeably darker than the final result. Days 4–10, light flaking as color softens (don't pick). Around week 3–4 the color can look too light before resurfacing at the true shade by week 6. This "dark, flaky, ghost, final" cycle is normal and why judging results before the touch-up is pointless.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding (the industry-standard deferral; it has never been studied, so nobody will do it), active skin conditions in the brow area, keloid-prone skin, uncontrolled diabetes (healing concerns), and recent isotretinoin use, where the industry standard is to wait six months after finishing and to check with your doctor first. Very oily skin isn't excluded. It just belongs with powder or nano technique instead of manual blading.

Healed photos, not fresh ones. Fresh work always looks crisp; the skill shows at the 1-year mark. Ask specifically for healed results on your skin type, check the studio's licensing (PMU is regulated county-by-county), and confirm single-use needles. Cheap microblading gets expensive to correct. This is a skill-purchase, not a commodity.
