Microblading
Posted by Jennifer Ngo at September 18th, 2025
If you’ve never had microblading done before, you may have heard a rumor or two that made you hesitate, wince, or think “Is microblading safe?” From scary stories about pain to worries about looking “too fake,” these fears often keep people from learning just how transformative and natural microblading can be. Let’s pull the curtain back on the silliest fears out there and set the record straight!
Fear #1: “It’s Going to Hurt So Much!”
One of the biggest misconceptions is that microblading is unbearably painful. In reality, most clients describe the sensation as more of a scratchy feeling than actual pain. Salons can use numbing creams to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure, and many clients even say they could scroll through their phone or chat during their session. If you can handle eyebrow tweezing or waxing, you can handle microblading.Fear #2: “I’ll End Up with Sharpie Brows”
Nobody wants to walk out with brows that look drawn on with a marker, and thankfully, that’s not what microblading does! The technique is designed to mimic individual hair strokes, creating a natural, fuller look that blends seamlessly with your existing brows. A skilled artist matches pigment color and shape to your features, so the results are subtle, not cartoonish or Eugene Levy-ish.Fear #3: “It’s Permanent, and I’ll Be Stuck With It Forever”
Unlike tattoos, microblading is semi-permanent. Pigment naturally fades over time, usually lasting 12–18 months before needing a touch-up; this gives you the freedom to refresh the color, adjust the shape, or even let it fade completely if you ever decide it’s not for you. Think of it as a long-term beauty boost, not a lifelong commitment.Fear #4: “It Will Look Bad as It Heals”
Yes, your brows will go through the microblading healing process, but it’s nothing to fear. Flaking, slight darkening, or mild itchiness are all normal and temporary. Within a few weeks, the pigment softens into a natural, polished look. With proper aftercare, you’ll avoid complications and enjoy smooth healing.Fear #5: “My Eyebrows Won’t Look Like Me Anymore”
The best microblading results are the ones that fit you. Artists carefully map your brows to complement your facial structure and natural growth pattern. The goal isn’t to change your face at all, but to enhance it. Most clients say they feel like themselves, just with better brows that save them time in the morning!The Real Truth About Microblading
When you strip away the myths, microblading is far less intimidating than it sounds. It’s a safe, customizable way to get the brows you’ve always wanted, without the daily hassle of pencils and powders. Ready to see what microblading can do for you? Book your consultation today!BOOK AN APPOINTMENT
