Microblading fills out or reshapes your eyebrows by drawing on tiny lines that look like individual hairs. Microblading leaves brows looking natural, but enhanced.

Microblading is a form of cosmetic tattooing. Cosmetic tattooing results in semi-permanent makeup. Microblading is the process of implanting pigment just beneath the surface of the skin for creating light, wispy hair strokes in your brow area to enhance your natural brows. Microblading gives your brows a unique and fabulous look that is not possible with any other procedure. Your brows look sharper, cleaner, and more beautiful. And if you desire it, they can also look fuller. Brows can be sized and color-enhanced to your preferences.

Cosmetic tattooing, including microblading, results in semi-permanent makeup. With cosmetic tattoos and microblading, pigment is placed under the skin but it doesn’t go as deep as a normal tattoo. In time the cosmetic tattoo will fade and disappear. This is why it’s referred to as semi-permanent make-up rather than permanent make-up.

Without getting any touch ups, your semi-permanent makeup from microblading should last 2-3 years. However, everyone is different and yours may fade faster or you may hold on to it a little longer. We recommend getting yearly touch ups to keep your brows looking perfect!

If you would like to have your brows enhanced with semi-permanent makeup – then you are a good candidate for microblading! You must be 18 or older to have microblading done at Wink.

If you sometimes feel self-conscious about your natural brows due to thinning or having missing sections in your brows – microblading is the best choice to solve this. It is one of the latest trends in the fashion and makeup industry, and that’s because people like the look of their brows after microblading.

Microblading is also perfect for people who have lost their eyebrows due to an illness or chemotherapy. These people can regain natural-looking eyebrows in just a couple of hours.

This depends on your pain threshold, but we do apply a numbing cream initially and throughout the procedure to help keep you as comfortable as possible. You may still feel it a little, but you shouldn’t be in excessive pain.

This depends on many factors. For microblading, we HIGHLY suggest you schedule a touchup 6-8 weeks after your initial appointment. At your second session, we can adjust pigment and shape as needed. If your cosmetic tattoo does not heal the way you expected after the first session, don’t panic! We can adjust everything in the second session!

After that, most clients do not need to come in again until 1 year after their initial appointment. Some clients have better pigment retention than others and some may need more than one touch up per year. Each person’s body processes pigment differently. This cannot be predicted and how often touch ups are needed is not guaranteed.

First, get excited! Don’t be nervous, we will walk you through the whole procedure and answer any questions you may have.
