Nanoblading is a new state of the art eyebrow treatment using a tattoo pen and ultra-sharp nano needles to create hair strokes that can actually mimic the diameter and dimension of a real hair in the skin.
Microblading is a manual technique of tattooing where the artist scratch the skin to create individual hair strokes with a handheld tool to blend in with the existing brow.
The results of both treatments are natural-looking and looks identical to each other. The main differences between nanoblading (nano) and microblading are the tools and the technique. Nano is a machine technique using ultra fine single needle to gently dot the skin to create hair strokes and microblading is a manual technique performed with a handheld pen with a group of needle attached to the top of the pen to etched the skin to create the hairstrokes.
Nano heals faster than microblading due to less injury to the skin and last about the same depending on the skin type.
Ombré is a shading technique which uses a small machine to place extremely thin dots of pigment into the skin, creating a soft-shaded brow pencil look.
Nanoblading about last 1 to 3 years for most people. Those with oily skin tend to fade faster and have shorter lasting retention. Some people with very oily skin will only have results for 6-9 months. Dry and non-porous skin has the best retention and healed results - may last up to 2 years. Touch ups are recommended annually to keep the color fresh.
No. Microblading and nanoblading works best for dry to normal skin types that are not heavily textured. If you have excessively oily skin, we do not recommend microblading or nanoblading. Oily skin types can get microblading or nanoblading but must understand that retention is shorter, strokes may expand and more touch ups are required. Nanoblading with shading or microblading with shading are recommended for oily skin types that want a hair stroke tattoo while keeping in mind shorter retention than other skin type.
Microblading and nanoblading are not recommended for those with excessively oily skin, large pores, or very textured skin. We also do not provide microblading for people: under 18 years old, pregnant or nursing, if you have diabetes, glaucoma, skin diseases such as Shingles, psoriasis or eczema on the area of treatment, allergies to makeup, Keloid disorder, HIV/Hepatitis, skin cancer, hemophilia, or if you're taking skin medications like ro-accutaine and steroids. Medical contraindications are in place to protect your health and safety.

Yes, it can be done over an existing brow tattoo, however the old tattoo must be significantly faded for the hair strokes to show through and look natural. Please advise if you have an existing tattoo, you MUST submit photos to determine if you are a candidate for this procedure. Please email clear photos with no eyebrow makeup to hello@juliehabeauty.com. NO EXCEPTION!
In the week(s) before your appointment, we recommend avoiding sunburn/tan, blood thinners, aspirin, alcohol or using retinol creams. Click here for full list of contraindications.
It takes about 30 days to completely heal, in which time you may experience mild scabbing and flaking. Most clients report that their scabs were gone by end of week 2.
While not everyone will need the initial 6-8 weeks touch up, we suggest booking a perfection session within 6-8 weeks of your initial procedure if you are wanting to make changes or if color did not take in certain area. Once you heal from that session, your brows will be set for about one year. People with very oily skin tend to fade faster. A great way to decide when to get a touch-up is when you notice yourself filling in the brows more due to fading. We recommend waiting as long as possible to come back in for your touch ups.
No. Please DO NOT book if you are pregnant or nursing!
We recommend getting permanent makeup first and waiting at least one month prior to getting injectables, or ask your filler provider for clearance.
