Microblading Oakville

Is Microblading Right For You?

Your brows are sparse, uneven, or thinning

Microblading creates realistic, hair-like strokes that fill in gaps and give shape to brows that feel too light, patchy, or uneven.

You want fuller brows without daily makeup

If you’re tired of penciling in your brows every morning, microblading gives you long-lasting definition that stays put through sweat, sleep, and showers.

You want a natural look, not blocky or tattoo-like

Microblading mimics real brow hairs for a subtle, customized result that enhances your facial features without looking harsh or overly done.

You’ve lost brow fullness due to over-plucking or aging

This treatment restores shape and density, creating brows that look youthful and naturally fuller.

    What to expect

    We design your perfect shape

    Your practitioner maps your brows based on your facial structure, natural growth, and the look you want, soft, bold, arched, or feathered. You are involved in this process to ensure the shape is exactly what you are comfortable with.

    Pigment is applied using fine, hair-like strokes

    A manual microblading tool deposits pigment into the upper layer of the skin, creating strokes that mimic real brow hairs.

    Your brows heal and soften into a natural finish

    After an initial week of your brows appearing darker than desired, colour lightens over the next few weeks, settling into soft, realistic brows. A touch-up session finalizes the shape and density.

    Inside the Microblading Treatment

    Microblading is a semi-permanent brow enhancement technique that uses ultra-fine strokes to mimic natural brow hairs. Before the treatment begins, your practitioner will map out your ideal shape and select a pigment that complements your skin tone and hair color. A topical numbing cream keeps you comfortable while precise strokes are created in the skin.

    The results appear darker at first but soften significantly during the healing process. A touch-up session around 8 weeks after your first visit is required to refine color and density. Brows can last 1–2 years depending on your skin, lifestyle, and aftercare routine.

    Does microblading hurt?

    Most clients find the treatment very manageable. A highly effective topical anesthetic is used before and during your session to keep discomfort low. Some sensitivity may occur, especially if you’re on your menstrual cycle or if you’re a frequent smoker, as numbing may wear off more quickly. Clients with conditions like fibromyalgia may also be more sensitive. Your practitioner will keep you as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure.

    How long do microbladed brows last?

    Microblading is semi-permanent and typically lasts 1 to 2 years. Over time, pigment gradually fades due to skin type, sun exposure, lifestyle, and skincare products like retinol or glycolic acid. Lighter colors fade faster than darker tones. A touch-up is recommended every 12–24 months to maintain the shape and colour.

    Why might my brows fade differently from others?

    Pigment retention varies by person. Factors such as sun exposure, skin cell turnover rate, pigment color, bleeding during the procedure, and skincare products all affect how long brows last. Blonde shades fade faster, and microblading will fade quicker than body tattoos because the pigment is placed more superficially to create a semi-permanent tattoo which will fade over time.

    Is microblading equipment safe?

    Yes. Only single-use, sterile, disposable needles and supplies are used for each client. All equipment is discarded after each treatment, and the station is thoroughly disinfected before and after every session.

    How many treatments will I need?

    Most clients need one initial session plus a touch-up 8 weeks later. This second session is used to assess healing, adjust color, and add density if needed. Additional sessions after that are typically maintenance appointments every 1–2 years.

    Will my eyebrows look very dark at first?

    Yes, this is completely normal. Brows appear darker, bolder, and more defined for the first 7–10 days. As the skin heals, colour gradually lightens and softens. Small flakes of pigment shed during days 6–10, revealing light pigment underneath. The pigment will reappear 2-3 weeks later. Full healing can take up to three weeks, so avoid major events during early healing.

    Are touch-ups necessary?

    A touch-up at 8 weeks is highly recommended and is included in the initial fee. This ensures your brows heal evenly and gives your practitioner a chance to perfect the final shape and color. Maintenance touch-ups every 1–2 years help keep your brows looking fresh.

    How much does microblading cost?
    • Microblading: $595 + tax (includes your 8-week touch-up)
    • Maintenance session (within 2 years): $275 + tax
    • Maintenance session (within 3 years): $385 + tax
    • Maintenance session (after 3 years): $595 + tax
    What should I do before my microblading appointment?
    • You may fill in your eyebrows as you normally would so we can take into consideration the shape you desire. If you regularly get your eyebrows shaped, waxed, threaded or tinted, please do so at least 7 days before your appointment. 
    • Please discontinue use of active skincare with ingredients like Glycolic acid, Salicylic acid, Retinol/Retinoids, or any exfoliants on the upper face for 7 days prior to treatment. 
    • If there are any stray hairs that fall outside of our final shape, we can remove them. 
    • If you plan to go on a vacation, it is recommended to plan your trip a minimum of 14 days after the procedure. 
    • Clients are to avoid any blood thinning medications for a minimum of 72 hours prior to their appointment including Advil (Ibuprofen), Aspirin. 
    • Fish Oils (Omegas), turmeric/curcumin, Vitamin E and Niacin should be avoided for two weeks prior to treatment. 
    • Do not consume alcohol the day before or the day of your treatment. 
    • Avoid all forms of caffeine the day of your appointment including coffee, tea and caffeinated soft drinks. 
    • If you have been on prescription Accutane in the past, you MUST wait at least one year before considering this procedure. 
    • It is highly recommended that you avoid using tanning beds for 14 days before or after your procedure. If you show up for your appointment with a sunburn, you will need to reschedule and will forfeit a deposit. As your skin exfoliates from a sunburn, it will take the pigment with it. 
    • Please ensure you do not have any compromised skin in the brow area including acne, psoriasis, infection or skin rash. 
    • Microblading is not recommended for those who have a history of keloid scarring. 
    • If you have Botox or other neuromodulator treatments, please ensure you wait at least two weeks before or after your treatment.
    What is the aftercare process like?

    You’ll receive a detailed aftercare sheet and products to use during healing. Avoid makeup, sweating, wsteam, and sun exposure on the brows for at least one week. Following aftercare guidelines helps pigment heal evenly and last longer.
