What is microblading?  This question is one that I am asked on a daily basis. I cannot tell you how many women come into the spa and want microblading.  It is THE procedure of the year!  If it is done correctly, microblading is a beautiful and natural looking procedure. We are women and we are made to juggle, multitask or  whatever else you want to name it.  When it comes to makeup and skincare, we want our life to be as easy as possible.

When choosing a microblading artist you must do your research.  Take the time to meet with several artists. Go with your gut feeling.

Answer: Microblading is a tattooing technique in which a small handheld tool made up of several tiny needles is used to add permanent pigment to the skin.
