What are Microblading Eyebrows?
While “microblading” may seem elaborate, the procedure is straightforward. It’s a semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing technique designed to enhance the fullness of your eyebrows.
Distinct from conventional cosmetic tattooing, microblading offers a semi-permanent, significantly less invasive solution.
With a skilled practitioner like Mimi at Sydney Microblading, located in the Lower North Shore, clients can choose their desired eyebrow shape, a natural enhancement, or a statement-making bold brow.
Achieving a stunning new look can be a comfortable and swift experience!
Why Microblading?
There are a few reasons one might consider this style of eyebrow tattoo.
First, if you do not like your eyebrows or are tired of the same old look, microblading can give you a chance to revamp your eyebrows into something you will love. If you get bored or afraid of commitment, this can still be a good revamp option, as it is semi-permanent and will fade over time.
Second, they are a significant time saver. How much time do you spend doing your eyebrows daily? They can be one of the longer things to do in the morning, and with this semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo style, you can eliminate that as the process is already done. Sit for a few sessions (1 or 2), and you will not have to spend all that time brushing and applying makeup to your eyebrows each morning.
Finally, if you suffer from hair loss or your eyebrows are lighter and more rigid, microblading could be the solution for you. If your eyebrows grow back or become darker, this semi-permanent procedure will fade, but it can give you the eyebrows you want.

The Procedure Of Microblading Eyebrows

Step One:
After you decide to get it done, the first step will be going in for a consultation with Mimi. This may be right before you get microblading done on your eyebrows, or on a separate day. During this consultation, you will discuss what you are looking for, and the artist may even draw examples of what it could look like on your face. This step is crucial to ensure you get precisely what you seek.
Step Two:
When it is time for the procedure to begin, Mimi will clean up the area. She will do some threading to eliminate rogue hairs and clean off the surface.
Step Three:
She will numb your eyebrows (if necessary) and the area around them with a topical numbing cream. Though microblading is minimally invasive, numbing the area will minimize any pain or discomfort you may experience. After she applies the numbing cream, there will be a waiting period while it takes effect. During this period, Mimi takes measurements and finishes planning what she will do.
Step Four:
This is when the actual needling will begin. Mimi will use a needle to make hair-sized superficial lines in your skin where the ink/pigment will go. Besides the waiting period for the numbing, this is the longest part of the microblading process. Remember that she has to create a small line for each hair.
Step Five:
Once the needling is done, she will apply a final layer of pigment all over the brows and let it sit there for several minutes. When this is done, Mimi will wipe off the pigment, clean the area, and you will have new, beautiful brows!

Retouching of Microblading Eyebrows
You will want to go in for eyebrow retouching for two reasons.
First, after microblading, the artist will often have you come in for a second session a month or two later. Here, she can make the color darker if you would like, or adjust areas that may need more hair or have been overdone a second time.
Second, you may have retouching after the microblading has begun to fade, as it is only semi-permanent. If you like the brows, you can have them done precisely the same, or you can change them slightly. To keep the microblade look and ease, you must come in for retouches over time because it is only semi-permanent.
Frequently Asked Questions About Microblading Eyebrows
What is microblading and how does it work?
Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow tattooing technique where a fine, manual blade deposits pigment into the upper layers of the skin in thin, hair-like strokes. At Sydney Microblading in Crows Nest, Mimi creates each stroke individually — mimicking the direction and spacing of your natural brow hairs to build a fuller, more defined shape. The result is soft, natural-looking brows that are genuinely hair-by-hair realistic, not drawn on.
How much does microblading cost at Sydney Microblading?
Microblading at Sydney Microblading starts at $650 for a single session. The recommended two-session package — which includes your initial appointment and a touch-up within 4–6 weeks — is $895. Touch-up maintenance is available from $550 (within 6–12 months) to $650 (13–18 months). A $150 deposit is required to secure your booking.
Is microblading suitable for mature women or older clients?
Yes — microblading works beautifully for women in their 50s, 60s, and beyond. Many older clients come in with decades of over-plucking, hormonal thinning, or naturally sparse brows. Mimi tailors the shape and pressure to suit mature skin. While mature skin may require gentler strokes and a softer result, the outcome is still natural and transformative — waking up with brows that frame your face without needing a pencil every morning.
Can microblading fix uneven or asymmetrical eyebrows?
Asymmetry is one of the most common reasons clients come to Sydney Microblading. Whether one brow sits higher, runs in a different direction, or simply grew back patchier after years of shaping, microblading can correct the imbalance. Mimi takes detailed measurements and maps each brow before touching the skin, ensuring both arches complement your facial structure and mirror each other naturally.
Do you see microblading clients from Turramurra, Mosman, and the North Shore?
Absolutely. Sydney Microblading is located at 89A West Street, Crows Nest — easily accessible from across the North Shore, including Chatswood, Mosman, Neutral Bay, Cremorne, Kirribilli, Gordon, Pymble, Turramurra, and Wahroonga. Many clients also travel in from Castle Hill, Epping, Eastwood, and the Hills District. Free street parking is available nearby.
What is the difference between microblading and nano brows?
Microblading uses a manual handheld blade to make fine cuts in the skin and deposit pigment, while nano brows use a digital machine with an ultra-fine single needle. Nano brows tend to be gentler on the skin, produce finer strokes, and last longer — typically 2–3 years compared to microblading’s 12–18 months. Microblading suits normal to dry skin best, while nano brows are recommended for oilier or more mature skin. During your consultation, Mimi will assess which technique suits your skin and goals.
What aftercare is needed after microblading?
For the first 7 days, keep your brows dry — no water, cleanser, or makeup directly on the area. Avoid heavy sweating (no gym or hot yoga), swimming, sun exposure, and picking any flaking skin. Your brows will look darker in the first week, then soften as they heal. A thin layer of aftercare balm may be applied as provided by your artist. Full colour settles by 4–6 weeks, which is also when your touch-up appointment is scheduled.
