The Truth About Microblading: Why It Falls Short
Microblading may have had its moment, but the drawbacks are hard to ignore:
- Unwanted Fading – Strokes often shift to blue, gray, or red tones over time.
- Risk of Scarring – The manual blade can cause skin trauma, especially with repeated treatments.
- Skin–Type Restrictions – Oily, sensitive, or mature skin rarely achieves the crisp results promised.
- Short–Lived Results – Brows last just 6–12 months, requiring constant upkeep and added expense.
For many, this means frustration and disappointment — the opposite of what brows should bring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow treatment that’s used to fill out brows and create the best brow shape for every face. The treatment is applied using a handheld tool with 10-12 needles at the end. Those needles delicately scratch the surface of the skin with featherweight strokes, implanting a medical grade pigment in the epidermis layer of the skin. That creates the look of fine, natural, and realistic hairs that fill out the brow and create bespoke brow shapes to meet the demands of every client.
A common misconception is that microblading is just another term for an eyebrow tattoo. It’s not. An eyebrow tattoo is performed using an electric tool that permeates deeper into the skin to create permanent brows. Microblading implants pigment onto the surface layer of the skin so the color will fade, typically over 12-18 months. This is a big plus for clients who are anxious about getting a permanent brow, and for microblading practitioners who can treat their clients time and time again. There’s also no need for a heavy and expensive tattooing machine or the lengthy training that’s required to become an eyebrow tattooist.
As one of the leading microblading schools in the United States, we are dedicated to offering the highest quality training at the best possible price. Maintaining a low student to teacher ratio is a key part of that commitment, as is giving all of our students access to the best tools, products, and post-training support from their tutors.
Microblading training with Micropigmentation Academy can cost anywhere from $2,500.00 – $4,000.00 for our basic and advanced training courses.
Microblading is an in-demand treatment which can provide an excellent living for those who complete our training course. Rates for microblading sessions average around $400 – $900 for a treatment that lasts up to 2 hours. That means even if you only see one client a day, you could expect to earn up to $5,000 per week.
Licensing requirements vary by state and town regulations. It’s best to check with the location where you live / work. In order to receive a Micropigmentation license in Connecticut, you will be required to first complete 2000 hours. We offer apprenticeship options through Micropigmentation Academy to earn those hours. Please call for more information.
