Carey says that there are two parts to complete the total process. She starts her sessions with a discussion with clients about their desired brow shape and any other needs. “From there, I create a template based on my client’s facial structure and features,” she said. And then the actual microblading process takes about 45 minutes to an hour. She then has clients return after about six weeks to ensure the skin is healing properly. At this follow-up appointment, she will make any color or density adjustments needed.

Some pain is involved.
