Microblading
Microblading is a specialized beauty service that creates natural-looking eyebrows using a manual tool to draw tiny, hair-like strokes. It's a form of semi-permanent makeup or cosmetic tattooing that typically lasts 1-3 years. This technique is different from traditional permanent makeup because it's more precise and creates more natural results. Beauty professionals who offer this service are often called microblading artists, permanent makeup artists, or cosmetic tattoo specialists. They typically work in beauty salons, medical spas, or their own studios.
