Natural, flawless, fuller looking brows with Microblading
Microblading (Semi-Permanent Brows)
Microblading is the Japanese Method of Semi Permanent Brows which is relatively new to the UK. It is done using a very fine blade (made up of 10-16 tiny, fine needles configured into a blade shape) to deposit pigments into the epidermis.
What is Microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow technique that creates beautifully natural, fuller brows by using fine, hair-like strokes to deposit pigments into the skin. Whether you’re looking to enhance the shape of your brows, restore lost hair due to conditions like alopecia, or simply want to improve the look of your existing brows, microblading offers a perfect solution. The results are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural hairs, giving you a soft, feathery effect.
At Brow Envy, we use specially formulated pigments that match your natural brow colour, ensuring a harmonious and flawless finish. While the brows may appear darker immediately after the treatment, they will fade slightly over the next two weeks, settling into a more natural look. We recommend a touch-up session after your initial appointment to ensure the pigment holds well and your brows look perfect.
The effects of microblading typically last between 1 to 3 years, depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, and the products you use on your skin. To maintain the shape and colour of your brows, we suggest a Colour Boost Retouch once a year. Whether you’re after a bold, defined brow or a subtle, natural finish, our team at Brow Envy will design the ideal look to suit your features and bring out your best.
Before & After Microblading

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a microblading appointment take?
Microblading is suitable for anyone looking to improve the shape, fullness, or overall appearance of their eyebrows. It’s ideal for those with sparse, thin, or uneven brows, as well as people who have lost brow hair due to conditions such as alopecia or over-plucking. The treatment works well on most skin types, though results may vary slightly depending on factors like oiliness or sensitivity. During your consultation at Brow Envy, we’ll assess your skin and discuss your desired look to ensure microblading is the right option for you.
How long does a microblading appointment take?
A microblading appointment typically takes around 2 to 2.5 hours. This includes the initial consultation, where we’ll discuss your desired brow shape and colour, followed by the application of the pigment. The process is thorough and precise, ensuring your brows look as natural and defined as possible. We also allow time for any necessary adjustments during the treatment to ensure you’re completely happy with the results.
Does microblading hurt?
Most clients report minimal discomfort during the microblading process. A topical numbing cream is applied to the area beforehand to ensure you’re as comfortable as possible. While some may feel slight pressure or a gentle scratching sensation, the procedure is generally well-tolerated. Any discomfort usually subsides quickly once the treatment is complete.
What happens during the treatment?
During the treatment, we’ll begin by discussing your desired brow shape and colour. Once you’re happy with the design, a numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort. Using a fine, precise tool, we then create hair-like strokes to deposit pigment into the skin, carefully following your natural brow shape. The procedure is done in stages, with breaks for you to review the design and make any adjustments before moving on.
How should I prepare for my microblading appointment?
To prepare for your microblading appointment, avoid using any brow makeup or products on the day of your treatment. It’s also a good idea to refrain from consuming alcohol or caffeine 24 hours before, as these can increase sensitivity. If you’re on any medication that affects your skin or healing, be sure to let us know during your consultation. Additionally, avoid sun exposure or tanning beds in the days leading up to your appointment to ensure your skin is in the best condition for the procedure.
Are there any risks or side effects?
While microblading is generally safe, there are some potential risks and side effects, including mild swelling, redness, or tenderness in the treated area immediately after the procedure. In rare cases, some individuals may experience an allergic reaction to the pigments or numbing cream. It’s also important to follow aftercare instructions carefully to avoid infection, scarring, or pigment fading. If you have sensitive skin or a history of skin conditions, let us know beforehand so we can assess the best approach for you.
How frequently do I need to book an appointment?
Microblading typically lasts between 1 to 3 years, depending on factors like your skin type and lifestyle. To maintain the shape and colour of your brows, we recommend a Colour Boost Retouch once a year. A touch-up appointment after your initial treatment is also advised to ensure the pigment settles well and your brows stay looking fresh.
