Microblading has become increasingly popular in recent years as a semi-permanent solution for achieving perfectly shaped eyebrows. If you’re tired of spending precious minutes each morning filling in your brows or dealing with uneven arches, microblading might be the answer you’ve been looking for. However, before you dive into this beauty trend, it’s essential to understand the costs associated with it. In this blog post, we’ll break down the factors that influence microblading prices, and give you a better understanding of what to expect when you step into a microblading studio.

What is Microblading?

Before discussing the cost, let’s briefly explain what microblading is. Microblading is a cosmetic tattooing technique that involves using a small handheld tool to create tiny, hair-like strokes in the eyebrow area. These strokes mimic the appearance of natural eyebrows, resulting in a fuller, more defined look. Microblading is a semi-permanent procedure that typically lasts between one and three years, depending on factors such as skin type, aftercare, and lifestyle.

Factors Influencing Microblading Costs

1. Location: The cost of microblading can vary significantly depending on where you live. In larger cities or metropolitan areas, prices are generally higher due to higher operating costs, such as rent and overhead.
2. Artist Experience: The skill and experience of the microblading artist can impact the cost. Highly trained and experienced technicians often charge more for their services because they can achieve better results and have a higher demand.
3. Studio Reputation: Established studios with a good reputation may charge more for their services. However, this can be worth it for the quality and peace of mind that you’re getting a skilled and reputable technician.
4. Initial vs. Touch-up Sessions: Microblading usually requires two sessions—an initial session and a touch-up session. The initial session involves shaping and filling in your brows, while the touch-up session is done about 6-12 weeks later to perfect the results. Some studios include the touch-up session in the initial cost, while others charge it separately. Just check the pricing section to determine the total price! When in doubt about the total price, ask before you schedule your appointment.
5. Geographic Variation: Microblading costs can vary by region and country. In some countries, the cost may be significantly lower due to differences in living expenses and labor costs.

How Much Does Microblading Cost?

While prices can vary widely nationwide typically within the range of $600 to $1200 for both the initial session and the touch-up session. At DAELA Cosmetic Tattoo prices range competitively between $750-$950 for the initial appointment and touch-up.  Our artists are highly trained, master artists and our studios are luxurious and feature private treatment rooms. We also have artists on staff who specialize in the various brow techniques, some of which are better for certain skin types. This is a positive for our clients because it ensures that they will be guided to the artists that will provide the very best results for their skin type.

It’s important not to compromise quality for a lower price. Research your chosen studio and technician thoroughly to ensure they have the necessary skills, certifications, and a portfolio of satisfied clients. Remember that microblading is an investment in your appearance, and choosing an experienced professional is crucial to achieving the best results.

How To Know if a Microblading Artist is Exceptional?

Microblading can be a game-changer for those looking to enhance their eyebrows and save time on their daily beauty routine. While the cost of microblading varies depending on several factors, it’s important to prioritize quality and experience when choosing a technician and studio. Remember that this is an investment in your appearance, so choose wisely, and enjoy the benefits of beautifully shaped, low-maintenance brows for months to come. We suggest that you consider two things when searching for a cosmetic tattoo artist:

1. Skill level of the artist: This is not necessarily a direct relation to how long they have been in cosmetic tattoo. Some artists have raw, natural talent and can become masterful microbladers in a condensed time period. Others perform the task for years and never achieve that perfect brow balance. So, how do you figure out what’s what?
   1. Look at their portfolio of work: Look for consistency and quantity. The longer they’ve been in the field the more they should have to show you either on their website or their own personal Instagram account. If they have been doing it for a short time the before & after photos should be of excellent quality. If they’ve been doing it for years, be cautious if they don’t have much work to show you.
   2. Read some reviews: What do customers who have had a procedure done by them have to say?
   3. Speak with the artist or their staff: Sometimes people aren’t a candidate for microblading, a very good studio will be honest with you and suggest a procedure that may be better, offering more favorable results. It’s not just your face on the line, it’s also the integrity of the studio. If they care, they will guide you in the right direction.
2. Reputation of the Studio: There are so many different variations on how cosmetic tattoo artists operate from sole proprietors working from a hair salon to multi-artist studios offering all cosmetic tattoo procedures. While neither is right or wrong, you do want to do a little research on the following:
   1. Do they follow strict health and safety guidelines?
   2. Are they responsive to your calls, emails or texts?
   3. Are they forthcoming with before and after care instructions?
   4. Do they make you feel welcome and at ease?
   5. How are they rated on Google & YELP?

Permanent makeup is a gamechanger for those who have it done by a professional that consistently achieves great results. You will save time every day and look fabulous all the time! If you do your research and pay attention to your gut instinct, you will most certainly love the result.
