Should You Do Microblading and Lash Extensions at the Same Time?

Eyelash Extensions, Microblading

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at January 17th, 2026

If you’re looking to streamline your beauty routine, pairing microblading and lash work can feel like the ultimate upgrade/no-brainer. Fuller brows and longer lashes instantly frame the face, brighten the eyes, and eliminate the need for daily makeup; this is why clients often ask whether they can book both services together and knock out their glow-up in one visit. The answer? Yes…but with thoughtful planning.

Why Clients Pair Microblading and Lashes

Combining microblading and lashes creates that coveted “wake up ready” effect. Microblading defines and fills your brows with natural-looking hair strokes. And, lash extensions add length, curl, and volume. This pairing is especially popular ahead of vacations/weddings, or milestone events, when clients want long-lasting beauty that holds up through many photos and travel.

Order Matters

When planning microblading and lashes, if a client chooses to schedule treatments on separate days, microblading can be first so the brow area can heal in a calm, undisturbed environment. It’s great to allow the brows to settle before adding additional eye-area services. If a client wants to complete microblading and lash extensions on the same day, the order should be reversed: lash extensions should be performed before microblading. During a lash extension appointment, technicians apply individual lashes with precision, often resting their hands on a lash tile that holds extensions and adhesive on the client’s forehead or brow bone. While this pressure is completely normal for lash work, it can create issues if the brows were microbladed minutes earlier.

Safety and Comfort Considerations

Another important factor to consider when combining microblading and lash extensions in a single session is client sensitivity. Both procedures involve delicate work around the eye area. Be sure to inform your artist of any skin sensitivities or past reactions. During either service, technicians must avoid applying cleansers, numbing agents, adhesives, or aftercare products to the other treated area. Cross-contact can irritate healing skin or interfere with lash adhesive retention. Working with an experienced brow and lash professional (like our artists at Chich Lash Boutique) ensures both services are performed with safety and comfort in mind. While some clients prefer to do both close together, scheduling flexibility is important. Not every lash or brow technician is comfortable performing microblading and lash extensions back-to-back, especially since aftercare requirements differ. For example, lash extensions must be kept dry for the first 24–48 hours, while microbladed brows require careful cleansing and ointment application; spacing appointments allows each area to heal without conflicting instructions.

Microblading and Lashes - Worth the Coordination

Even if they aren’t done on the same day, pairing microblading and lashes is one of the most impactful beauty combinations available. Together, they create effortless definition and contour that elevates your entire look. If you’re in need of some microblading services in Houston, eyelash extensions, or both!
