What is Phibrows Microblading?
Phibrows is a manual, semi-permanent brow tattoo technique designed to create hyper-realistic hair-like strokes. It mimics the natural flow of your brows, blending seamlessly with your existing hair (or replacing it if you have none). Many consider this one of the most natural-looking brow techniques available.
Microblading is perfect for those with sparse brows, uneven shape, or hair loss due to conditions like alopecia or trichotillomania. It’s also great if you simply want to enhance your brows without the daily effort of filling them in. The result? Effortless, natural-looking brows that fade beautifully over time for a soft, realistic finish.
The Microblading Process
Microblading is a two-step treatment:
1. Initial Session (Approx. 2.5+ hours)
- Face mapping & brow measuring (using the golden ratio for perfect symmetry)
- Disinfecting the area
- Microblading the brows with a sterile, disposable tool
2. Touch-Up Session (4-6 weeks later)
- Re-blading any lost strokes (10-15% fade is normal, but can be higher depending on skin type)
- Adjusting shape and fullness if needed
If you have oily skin, you may need additional touch-ups since oil can cause the pigment to fade faster.
How It Works
The microblading tool is made up of fine, stainless-steel needles that implant pigment just beneath the surface of the skin. Over time, as your skin naturally regenerates, the pigment fades—usually lasting *6 to 18 months*, depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.
The colour is carefully selected based on your *natural hair colour and skin tone* to ensure the most natural, flattering results. Your brows will be fully mapped and measured *before we start*, and I won’t proceed until you’re 100% happy with the shape, length, and thickness.
Microblading & Shading – The Best of Both Worlds
If you have very little natural brow hair, microblading alone may not be enough to create fullness. That’s where *Microblading & Shading* comes in. After microblading the hair strokes, we add a soft, powder-like shading to give your brows more depth and dimension—so they look naturally full, rather than just drawn in.
If you're unsure whether microblading or microblading + shading is right for you, I have a consultation to go over your options, pre map and a patch test , and answer any questions. This consultation does charge a £50 deposit , and is non refundable but will go towards your treatment, so please if you are booking in for a consultation, that this is a treatment you are definitely wanting and also taking into consideration that I do not offer Powder brows.
