Is microblading safe for sensitive skin?

02.

Yes, microblading is safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, if you have allergies or sensitivities, consult with your technician before the procedure.

Is microblading right for me?

03.

Microblading is best for those with normal to dry skin who want fuller, well-shaped brows. If you have very oily skin or deep wrinkles, an alternative brow technique may be better for you.

How long does a microblading appointment take?

04.

A microblading session at our Buffalo studio takes about 3–4 hours, including brow mapping, pigment selection, numbing, and the procedure itself.

How long does microblading last before a touch-up?

05.

Microblading results typically last 2–3 years before needing a $50 touch-up. Skin type, sun exposure, and skincare routine can all affect how long your brows stay crisp.

How much does microblading cost in Buffalo, NY?

06.

At Pretty In Ink, microblading costs $490, including your consultation and custom brow design. Touch-up appointments are just $50, and most clients only need one every 2–3 years.

What’s the difference between microblading and powder or ombré brows?

07.

Microblading creates crisp, hair-like strokes for the most natural finish, while powder and ombré brows use soft shading for a filled-in, makeup-like look. During your free consultation, we’ll recommend the technique that best suits your skin type and style.

How long does microblading take to heal?

08.

Surface healing takes about 10–14 days, and brows are fully settled within 4–6 weeks. Your strokes may look darker at first, then soften to their true color as they heal.

What should I avoid while my brows heal?

09.

For the first 10–14 days, keep your brows dry and avoid sweating, swimming, makeup on the brow area, and direct sun. We send every client home with simple step-by-step aftercare instructions.

How do I choose a microblading artist in Buffalo?

10.

Look for a licensed permanent makeup artist with a strong portfolio of healed results. Pretty In Ink’s Pascale Saade has 8+ years of experience and over 600 procedures — and offers free consultations so you can ask anything before you book.
