Bladed Brows Microblading

Bladed Brows is a small beauty studio where clients are seen one at a time. Artist Ashley offers three semi-permanent brow techniques: microblading, microshading (hair strokes plus shading for a fuller look) and nano brows, which use a fine needle on a machine rather than a blade. The site says Ashley holds multiple certifications in Microblading/PMU and uses Phi-Brow techniques. Each brow service includes a touch-up at 8 to 10 weeks. Clients who haven't had a consultation have the process explained before work begins. Ashley then measures the brows with a compass and draws a shape, and the client approves it before she starts.

The studio matches each technique to skin type, recommending microblading for normal to dry skin and microshading or nano brows for oily or sensitive skin. Their site states that microblading lasts 1 to 3 years, depending on aftercare and lifestyle. It also notes that they use vegan pigments and disposable tools and sterilize the room after every client. Separately, Bionca offers custom facials, HydraFacials, lymphatic drainage and body treatments.
