A semi-permanent tattooing technique that creates natural-looking eyebrows, transforming and enhancing the appearance — a long-lasting solution to thin, sparse, or uneven brows.

Traditional or classic microblading is a form of eyebrow tattooing that involves the use of a fine blade to deposit pigment under the skin. The result is a pair of eyebrows that look natural yet well-defined. Microblading is becoming increasingly popular due to its ability to create brows that look flawlessly shaped and precisely filled in, a visual feat that can be difficult to achieve with makeup alone. Microblading is also known as feather touch, feathering, or hair stroke.
Microblading is the preferred option for those with normal to dry skin, as those with oily skin may experience smudging of the incised lines.
At Lash Me NYC, the process begins with a consultation where the client and technician discuss the desired shape, color, and overall expectations for their eyebrows. The technician carefully selects a pigment that matches the client's natural hair color, pupil color and skin tone. Then, to ensure comfort, a Lash Me NYC numbing cream is applied before the procedure, taking about 20 minutes to bear effect. While some clients may experience mild discomfort, it is usually manageable.
During the procedure, the technician uses a handheld tool with an ultra-fine needle to make shallow incisions in the outer layer of the skin, depositing the chosen pigment into tiny, hair-like strokes. These strokes mimic the natural growth pattern of eyebrow hairs, giving the illusion of fuller and more defined brows. Depending on the complexity of the desired design, the process usually takes around 2-3 hours.
Over the next few weeks, the pigment may initially appear darker but will gradually lighten and settle into the desired shade. To ensure long-lasting and satisfying results, a touch-up session is usually recommended around 4-6 weeks after the initial procedure to perfect the shape and color.
Ombré Shading
Ombre brows are a subcategory of powder brows in which the same process is applied to elicit a gradient rather than a uniform effect. Suitable for those with combination or oily skin, ombre brows display transitional shading that enhances depth and brightens the face.
Following standard consultation and treatment area preparation protocols, a technician will use the handheld tool to gently etch small, precise pokes into the skin, starting from the front of the eyebrow and working toward the tail.
As the technician progresses, they will gradually adjust the pressure and depth of the pokes to create the desired gradient effect. The front of the brows will remain lighter, while the intensity will increase towards the arch and tail. This technique allows for a seamless blend between the lightly shaded and deeply shaded areas, creating a natural effect.
Throughout the process, the technician will periodically step back to assess the symmetry and balance of the brows, making adjustments as needed to ensure a pleasant result.
After the ombre shading is complete, the technician will clean the area again and apply a soothing ointment.
Combination brows artfully blend the best of classic microblading and powder brows. The treatment starts with delicate hair strokes in the front section to create a lifelike illusion while gradually transitioning to a more powdered finish towards the tail. Unlike ombre shading, which uses the same technique from front to end, combination brows employ two distinct methods.
The process begins, per usual, with a thorough consultation where the technician will analyze the client's facial features, skin tone, and natural eyebrow shape. Based on the assessment, the artist will suggest a suitable combination brow style that complements the client's appearance.
In the first phase of the procedure, the technician uses the microblading technique to mimic tiny, hair-like strokes, etching them into the front of the brow with the microblading tool. After the microblading phase is completed, the shading process begins. Using a different tool, the technician gently adds soft layers of pigment to the middle to the tail-end of the brow, creating a gradient effect.
Combining microblading and shading allows for a more versatile and realistic outcome. Microblading provides the look of individual hairs, while shading gives a denser appearance to the brows, resulting in a well-defined, natural-looking brow that requires minimal maintenance.
There are a few things you can do to prepare for the procedure:
After your procedure, it is essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your technician. At Lash Me NYC, we will provide you with specific and detailed instructions for aftercare during your visits; however, the instructions detailed below are applicable across all services.

If you’ve gotten microblading before, you may already know what kind of package you want. However, if you’re new to microblading, you probably still have some questions. Here are some frequently asked questions about microblading.
Is microblading painful?
Some discomfort is normal during the microblading process. However, a topical numbing cream is applied to the area beforehand to minimize any potential pain or discomfort. Most people find the procedure to be tolerable.
How long does the microblading procedure take?
The entire microblading procedure usually takes about 2 to 3 hours. This includes consultation, mapping out the brows, numbing the area, and performing the microblading itself.
How long does microblading last?
The results of a microblading procedure can last anywhere from 12-36 months. The length of time will vary depending on factors such as your skin type, age, lifestyle, and how well you care for your brows after the procedure.
Will my eyebrows look too dark after microblading?
Immediately after the procedure, your eyebrows may appear darker and more intense than desired. However, the color will gradually soften and lighten during the healing process, typically within the first few weeks. The final color will be more natural and customized to your preferences.
Can I get my eyebrows microbladed if I have sparse or thinning brows?
Absolutely! Microblading is an ideal solution for individuals with sparse or thinning eyebrows. This technique can create the illusion of fuller, more defined brows by carefully filling in gaps and adding individual hair-like strokes.
Can I get my eyebrows wet during the healing process?
Keeping your eyebrows dry for the first 10 days after is crucial. Avoiding water, including swimming, excessive sweating, or getting wet in the shower, is important to allow the pigment to settle and the skin to heal properly.
How long does it take for the eyebrows to heal?
The initial healing period for microblading usually takes about 4 to 6 weeks. During this time, the eyebrows will go through various stages of healing, including scabbing, flaking, and color settling. It's essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your microblading artist to ensure optimal healing.
Can I still shape or groom my eyebrows after microblading?
While microblading provides a foundation and shape to your eyebrows, you can still groom and shape them as needed. However, it's important to be cautious and avoid plucking or waxing directly over the microbladed area, as this can disrupt the pigmented strokes. Trimming stray hairs and maintaining the shape around the microbladed area is generally safe and recommended.

How do I reschedule an appointment?
You can reschedule your appointment in the chat widget. Just click the icon on the bottom right of your screen.
What is the microblading healing process after a touch up?
In the initial week of the healing process, you may experience redness, tenderness, and mild scabbing. As the second week approaches, the scabs or flakes will naturally peel off, possibly resulting in a lightening of the color. Subsequent weeks involve a gradual settling in, with the color becoming more pronounced. By the end of the fourth week, your brows should be fully healed and settled. If you have any concerns or notice any unusual symptoms, it is advisable to reach out to your technician or a healthcare professional.
Who’s not a candidate for microblading?
Some individuals might not be appropriate candidates for microblading due to various factors. Several of these include:
Microblading vs. Tattooing: what’s the difference?
There are a few key differences between microblading and traditional tattooing. First, microblading is much less invasive. The incisions made during a microblading procedure are only superficial, whereas those made during a tattooing procedure go much deeper into the skin. Second, the pigment used in microblading is semi-permanent, while the pigment used in tattooing is permanent. Finally, the results of microblading will appear more natural than the results of tattooing because the strokes made by the microblade mimic the look of real hair.
Are there any risks or side effects associated with microblading?
Like any cosmetic procedure, eyebrow microblading carries some risks. Possible side effects include temporary redness, swelling, itching, or scabbing in the treated area. Serious complications are rare but can include infection or an allergic reaction to the pigments used. Choosing a reputable and experienced artist to minimize these risks is important.
My first time at the Carroll Gardens location. Elise was kind and did a wonderful job! I will definitely be back.
Elise did an amazing lash lift and tint. My lashes look amazing! Service was excellent
LashMe is my go-to spot for lashes! I got a full natural set from Yangla today and the experience was great. She helped guide me on how to have a more dramatic look without weighing down my thin Asian lashes. The spa is really clean and cute inside. They play peaceful music and it was so gentle, I find myself falling asleep every time! They also provide soft blankets on the side which helps make for a super cozy experience.
Easy, fast and great service! Saw Rinzin and will be back.
The front desk and the brow specialist Winnie, were able to accommodate me as a walk-in today. It was a quick and pleasant experience. Winnie cleaned up my brows while maintaining my full shape- I recommend this location for brows and lashes!
My tech was Winnie (loved the name) she was amazing! She explained the process, showed me pictures and helped me chose the right lash fit for me 🤩
Great service, Winnie is fabulous, have been coming for a few years and never disappointed!
Yangla did an amazing job on my lashes. Definitely recommend, will come see her again.

I've been to Yangla a couple times and she's been consistently great. She cares about lash health and actually recommended a less heavier option to protect my natural lash. Her presences is calming and my lashes look amazing every time. I always get compliments.
Incredible team and experience all around. I love coming here and Winnie is a great lash and brow technician. I could not recommend the team more.
Loved my experience here! My lashes come out perfectly every time. This is the first place I've gone to that actually preserves my natural lashes and lash line. I appreciated my tech Karchung guiding me on the thickness of lashes to use to maintain a healthy lash line. I'm a customer for life!
Saw Chloe for lash and brow tint. Excellent! She was precise and careful. This is the first time I didn't have that horrible burning in my eyes afterwards. The salon itself seemed clean and neat too. This was the Smith Street location.
First time here and am really impressed! Elise was wonderful working with me to figure out the best shape and length. So glad to have found this spot and will definitely return!
I had my second eyelash extension experience with Elise, and it was great ! Elise is not only nice but also highly skilled. She listened to my preferences and created a natural yet glamorous look that enhanced my eyes beautifully. I highly recommend Elise for top-notch eyelash extensions.
Charlie was awesome and I love my lashes. She took a long time figuring out the right like and approach for me. I’ll be back in three weeks to get them refilled!
Charlie is amazing! Truly first case experience, literally fell asleep and woke up beautiful.
I love getting my eyelashes done here! Both locations are amazing. The staff is so kind and are great at helping chose the best lashes suitable for your face. As long as I do lashes, it will always be at lash me!
I love it here! I’ve been getting my lashes done for 2 years now. Every time I come out looking pretty. Thank you Lash Me. Hi Frenda!
The most relaxing moment of my month! I fall asleep to the soothing music and wake up with perfectly done lashes. Love the consistency, professionalism and sweetness of all the wonderful women that work there!
This was my first visit to Lash Me and I’m very satisfied with the way my lashes turned out. The technician was super helpful and overall it was a pleasant experience. Definitely would recommend.
This was my first time coming to the establishment for my eye lashes and I was satisfied from beginning to end. Charlie is and was amazing. She was so patient and nice. Will definitely be coming back here.
I have been going to Lash Me for about 3 years now. They are the top eyelash extension business, in my opinion. What I love about them is that they are a very structured and organized business. They never miss a beat and they are EXTREMELY kind and nice to their customers. I have had a few girls do my eyelashes and they are all very well trained and great at what they do. Even when I had one appointment where I needed some fixing, Frenda was so sweet and kind in helping me. They have some nice perks and customer appreciation days. Thanks as always!
