Microblading is a very popular treatment for anybody that wants long-lasting full brows without having to go through a lengthy makeup routine every morning. Microblading is a form of tattooing that involves using very fine blades to make small cuts and apply ink, essentially drawing on each hair in the eyebrow. 

If you have very thin brows and you don’t like them, microblading is a great option because you don’t have to worry about applying makeup every morning but you can still make your eyes pop. The treatments usually last around 2 years, with a few touch-ups along the way.

However, you have to remember that microblading is a cosmetic tattooing treatment and if it is done badly, the results could be disastrous. It puts your health at risk and you could be stuck with terrible brows for the next two years, which is why you need to be careful when choosing a stylist. Here’s how to find a reliable stylist to do microblading treatments. 

Check That They Are Trained And Certified

Before you let anybody near your brows with a blade and some ink, you should always check that they are trained and certified by a recognized body. In most states, you don’t actually need a specific license to offer microblading treatments, which means that anybody could do it, even if they have no training whatsoever. So, it’s important that you check that they have been to a training school and passed a microblading course. This list of the best microblading schools will help you determine which microblading artists are the most qualified.  

Ask About Insurance 

Any reliable microblading artist will have insurance in place so if something does go wrong, you can be compensated and the necessary steps can be taken to fix your brows. You can get the facts here about microblading insurance and what it covers. If a company doesn’t have any insurance in place, that’s not a good sign. It suggests that they are not reliable and if anything does go wrong with the treatment, they don’t have the coverage to pay any compensation to you. 

Pay Attention To Cleanliness

There is a serious risk of infection if the area and the tools used in microblading are not sterile. It is important that the microblading artist is on top of cleanliness and they either use single-use handles or sterilize the handle between each customer if they are going to re-use it. Don’t be afraid to ask questions about cleanliness and ask to see the treatment area to get a good idea of how clean it is. 

Ask To See Pictures Of Their Work

Seeing pictures of their work is important for two reasons; firstly, you need to see whether the quality of the microblading is good. Do the brows look realistic and tidy? Secondly, you need to consider whether the style is right for you because every artist does things slightly differently. If you are looking for an understated, natural look, you don’t want to go to a microblading artist that usually does very thick, square shaped brows. If they are not willing to show you any pictures, that’s a big red flag. 

Microblading is a great treatment that can really set your brows off. Just make sure you follow these steps and find somebody reliable to do it for you.
