Newport Microblading Clinic

Newport Microblading Clinic & Academy is a permanent makeup studio in Newport Beach led by Houda, who has more than seven years of experience. The clinic works on brows, lips and eyeliner, and its academy also offers microblading training. Brow options include 3D microblading, where hair-like strokes are drawn by hand, and a microblading and shading combo that adds a light machine-shaded base under the strokes. Their site says microblading results typically last one to three years, depending on skin type and aftercare.

Lip blushing takes about two to two and a half hours. A touch-up is required six to twelve weeks after the first appointment. The studio also corrects earlier brow and permanent makeup work (color, shape or both) and removes old pigment with saline instead of lasers. According to the clinic, clients wait at least eight weeks between removal sessions, and the process can take multiple visits over about six months. All procedures require a non-refundable deposit. The site also lists conditions, such as pregnancy or diabetes, for which it does not recommend permanent makeup.
