The average procedure costs between $450 to $1,000 (USD) depending on your level of skills and takes two hours to complete. A microblading technician can treat 1 client per day (or 20 a month). That’s $9,000 to $20,000 (USD) in monthly revenue. You could be making much more with touch up services and performing the service on more than one client per day! (*All numbers are approximate and may vary depending on clientele, location and marketing.*) What is Microblading? Microblading is a form of permanent makeup that is done using a hand held tool instead of a traditional tattooing machine. Unlike traditional tattooing that is ink based and implanted into the upper layer of the dermis, microblading is pigment based and is implanted just above the dermis. This hand held tool also known as a pen consist of between 6 – 14 micro needles hence the name microblade. Microblading can be successfully performed with machine as well. Not the traditional one for tattooing but a special machine that is used both for all types of shadings (brows, lips, also eyeliner also to create hair strokes). In order to master to work with this special machine to do Microblading, you must take advance training specifically for machine techniques. This method is ideal for anyone wanting to enhance the look of their eyebrows, with natural looking hair like stroke regardless of the amount of hair present.

The results are a natural, flawless, fuller looking brow. The results can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on different factors affecting the procedure. How is this different from eyebrow tattooing? Microblading is the process of implanting pigment into the basal membrane or layer which divides the epidermis from the dermis layer of the skin. Eyebrow tattoo is done with a motorized device whereas microblading is done using a pen. The pen will help with creating hair like strokes for the most natural look. In using pigment vs ink, pigment has a thicker consistency while ink is more watery and tends to have more staying power. Most pigment will last between 1 – 3 years in the skin, keeping in mind the different skin types as well as the skin care products used. There is no “spilling” under the skin which leaves the strokes fine and crisp. The pigment will naturally exfoliate out of the skin over time causing pigment to lighten and therefore touch ups will be needed. Microblading can also be performed over any already tattooed eyebrow though the tattoo must be very faded for the pigment to show through to its best potential.

Permanent makeup, also known as permanent cosmetics, cosmetic tattooing or micro- pigmentation, is the process of depositing or implanting small amounts of custom-blended pigment colors just below the surface layer of the skin to improve, correct, or enhance a person's features, such as eyebrows, lips, and the upper and lower eyeliner. Permanent makeup techniques can also conceal scars and burns, reconstruct areola for breast cancer patients and stimulate hair where little or none existed before. It is no wonder that this industry has exploded. However, has been in existence since at least the early 1980s. The results are beautíful. Who Can Benefit from Permanent Makeup? • Men and women of all ages • Anyone interested in saving time • Women who want twenty-four hours a day beauty and comfort • Women who hate makeup that streaks or rubs off • Sports enthusiasts of all kind • People with poor eyesight who wear contact lenses or glasses • Women who are allergic to conventional makeup • People wishing to correct asymmetric facial features • Accident and burn victims and people with disfiguring scars folowing surgery • People suffering from loss of pigmentation • People suffering from alopecia (loss of body hair), whether permanent or temporary (e.g. following chemotherapy) • Women with shaky hands or the physically handicapped • In other words, a lot of people! Ink VS Cosmetic Pigment Tattoos are made using ink while permanent makeup uses pigments. What is the difference you ask? Namely, permanent makeup uses iron oxide, a pigment that is deemed as the safest pigment. Tattoos, on the other hand, are applied using a plethora of chemicals such as mercury sulfide, lead, chromium, nickel, ash, and the list goes on. This means while it is rare to have an allergic reaction to tattoo ink, you are far less likely to have one due to iron oxide pigment. Iron oxide is rendered safe for public use, because iron is found naturally in our bodies. COPY RIGHT @ HOLLYWOOD MAKEUP SCHOOL Unauthorized reproduction is punishable by law Page 6 of 84 Machines & Penetration Tattoos and permanent makeup are also done with different equipments. Permanent makeup is almost always done with a digital cosmetic tattoo machine or a hand held tool. Tattoos are most often applied using a coil machine and rarely use the digital cosmetic machines. These digital machines are gentler and use a finer needle. The ink used in tattoos reaches deep into the subcutaneous layer (hypodermis) of the skin, making tattoos a permanent option. Permanent makeup only penetrates the dermis which is why, although called permanent, they only last up to 5 years. And thus can be referred to as a "semi-permanent" procedure. Maintenance And Timing Microblading can last from 12 -18 months un-retouched. However, it is crucial to have a touch up done 4-6 weeks after the first service. It is very difficult to predict how well the skin will retain the pigment, therefore performing a touch up will solidify the pigment. This is where additional hair strokes can be added to adjust the shape and color can be corrected if needed. This can be called the “Perfecting Session”. Although microblading pigment can last 1-3 years, it is recommended that the client comes in for a yearly touch up to maintain the fullness and depth of their brows. The first session of a microblading service can take anywhere from 1-2 hours. This will depend on the client’s needs and wants and how the brow artist performs. The most time consuming part will be drawing in the brow to fit the face as well as the clients taste. The pigment color will then be selected. Once everything is settled a numbing cream will be applied. A Perfecting Session can take up to 1 hour as well as yearly touch ups. Machine shading can last a lot longer than microblading. Usually 3-5 years. Layers Of The Skin The epidermis is the outermost layer of skin and is technically dead; but it provides protection to the underlying layers. This skin layer will eventually exfoliate away. The basal layer is the base of the epidermis lying just above the dermis. This is where the pigment will be placed. The dermis is the lower, live layer of the skin. Traditional tattooing is placed in the upper layer of the dermis. Microblading is just above the dermis.
