Frederick Microblading Studio

Frederick Microblading Studio is a brow studio in Historic Downtown Frederick, Maryland, founded and owned by Crystal Mackintosh. She is a certified microblading artist who completed her training and certification through Brow Design International. The studio offers microblading, combination brows (hair strokes paired with shading for a fuller, denser look) and areola tattoo restoration. Their site notes that microblading can also be used to rebuild brows that have little or no hair.

The first microblading visit runs about three hours. It begins with a consultation that covers paperwork, medical history and any questions. The brow shape is measured and sketched with a removable pencil, and the client approves the shape and shade before work begins. Pre-numbing is optional. Clients come back for a perfecting session, where the artist checks how well the pigment held and touches up any areas that need it. Later touch-ups are also offered. The studio says microblading usually lasts one to three years, depending on factors such as skin type and lifestyle. The site also lists conditions for which microblading may not be suitable. Visits are by appointment only, and free off-street parking is available behind the studio.
