Microblading vs. Nano Brows: What’s the Difference?
If you’re looking for the perfect brows in New York City, chances are you’ve come across two of the most popular permanent makeup techniques: Microblading and Nano Brows. While both create natural-looking, fuller eyebrows, the methods, tools, and results are quite different. At Bellisima Brows, located at 37 W 26th Street in Manhattan, I specialize in advanced PMU techniques that are customized to each client. With over 8 years of experience as a permanent makeup artist in NYC, I’m here to help you understand which option might be best for you.
What Is Microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent makeup technique that uses a handheld tool with tiny blades to implant pigment into the skin. Each stroke mimics a natural hair, giving the illusion of fuller brows.
Pros of Microblading:
Creates defined, hair-like strokes.
Ideal for clients with normal to dry skin.
Results last between 1–2 years with touch-ups.
Considerations:
Not always ideal for oily or mature skin, as strokes may blur over time.
Healing can be slightly longer compared to Nano Brows.
What Are Nano Brows?
Nano Brows (also called Hair Stroke Brows) are created using a digital PMU machine and an ultra-fine single needle. Instead of cutting the skin like Microblading, Nano Brows implant pigment with precise, gentle strokes.
Pros of Nano Brows:
Suitable for all skin types, including oily and mature skin.
Less trauma to the skin, meaning quicker healing and longer-lasting results.
Ultra-natural and soft look that can be adjusted for density and shape.
Results typically last longer than microblading.
Which Technique Is Right for You?
Choose Microblading if you love crisp, defined strokes and have normal to dry skin.
Choose Nano Brows if you want softer, more versatile results, have sensitive or oily skin, or want the latest, most advanced PMU technology.
During your consultation at Bellisima Brows, I’ll evaluate your skin type, lifestyle, and brow goals to recommend the best option for you.
