Microblading vs. Nanobrows: What’s the Hype & Which One’s Right for You?

 

If you’ve ever spent more time than you’d like filling in your brows every morning (and still not getting them quite right), then microblading or nanobrows might just be your new best friend. These semi-permanent brow treatments are game-changers when it comes to enhancing natural beauty and saving serious time. But what exactly is the difference between them—and how do you know which one is best for you?

Let’s break it down.


What is Microblading?

Microblading is a semi-permanent technique where a handheld tool with ultra-fine needles is used to manually create hair-like strokes in the skin. Think of it as tiny cuts filled with pigment, mimicking your natural brow hairs. The result? Fuller, more defined, and totally natural-looking brows that last anywhere from 12 to 18 months depending on your skin type and aftercare.

Want a more filled-in or “makeup” brow look?
We offer the option to add machine shading to your microblading appointment for just $50 extra. This combo technique gives a beautiful soft powder finish behind the hair strokes—perfect for clients who love a bit more definition or wear brow makeup daily.

Best for:

  • Normal to dry skin
  • Clients who want a natural, hair-stroke effect
  • Those looking for a fuller makeup-style brow with optional shading

What are Nanobrows?

Nanobrows use a machine (similar to a tattoo gun but way gentler) with an ultra-fine needle to implant pigment into the skin. The technique still mimics hair strokes but can also be blended with shading for a softer, more customizable finish. Because it’s machine-based, it tends to be less traumatic on the skin and can be more precise.

Best for:

  • Oily or sensitive skin (where microblading may fade or blur faster)
  • Clients who want crisp hair strokes or a soft powdery look
  • Anyone who needs more definition, density, or shape correction

Why Clients Love These Services

✔️ Low Maintenance:
Wake up with perfect brows—no pencils, pomades, or powders needed.

✔️ Custom to YOU:
Whether you love a bold brow or something barely-there, your shape, color, and technique are tailored to your face and preferences.

✔️ Boosted Confidence:
There’s nothing like seeing your face framed with natural, flattering brows that bring out your eyes and bone structure.

✔️ Time Saver:
Say goodbye to 15-minute brow routines every morning. One appointment, and you’re set for months.


So, Which One Should You Choose?

Here’s a quick cheat sheet:

Your Skin Type Go With
Normal/Dry Microblading
Oily/Combo Nanobrows
Sensitive Nanobrows
Want Super Fine Detail Nanobrows
Want a More Natural Look Microblading
Want a “Makeup” Brow Microblading + Shading or Nanobrows

Still unsure? That’s what consultations are for! At Love Lashed, we’ll walk you through both options and help you decide which service fits your face, skin, and lifestyle best.


Final Thoughts

Whether you choose microblading, nanobrows, or a combo with added shading, you’re investing in effortless beauty that lasts. And the best part? Your brows will still look like you—just more polished, defined, and confidence-boosting.
