It’s hard not to jump on every beauty trend—especially those that promise an easier routine—and microblading does just that by claiming to deliver fuller-looking brows while replacing the time needed to fill and shape them. This popular treatment is a tattoo process that involves etching short strokes into the brow then filling them with pigment to resemble hair. But before booking a spot in the chair (and spending a small fortune for the sake of the cause), it’s important to know the potential pitfalls of this service.
Kelley Baker, a brow artist who works celebrities including Amal Clooney and the Kardashians, says she’s recently seen an increase in clients looking to get their microbladed brows removed. “People think it’s an instant fix because they see how it looks on Instagram, but they don’t really understand the aftermath and what can potentially happen,” she says. “Plus, you’re not going to get big, fluffy, Kardashian brows from a tattoo service.”
