How much does microshading cost?
Microshading is a permanent makeup technique that is ideal for a long-lasting makeup effect. Its price depends on several criteria, but often exceeds €150.
Permanent eyebrow makeup is becoming increasingly popular. This eyebrow dermopigmentation technique makes your eyebrows visibly thicker and enhances them by giving them a more sophisticated effect. But how much does this type of permanent makeup cost? Discover the advantages of this technique and how to perform microshading to highlight the natural lines of your eyebrows.
Microshading: what is it?
Microshading, also called microtaping, is a dermopigmentation technique mainly used for eyebrows. It is a manual method that uses a nano-needle to implant dermopigments into the superficial layers of your epidermis.
This process, which uses dermopigments, is quite similar to tattooing. However, it is not indelible and disappears after only a few years if you do not maintain it.
Microshading, unlike eyebrow microblading , does not reproduce the hairs of your eyebrows. The beautician draws small dots with a needle in a blurred manner. This will thicken your eyebrows and give them a made-up effect by playing on a play of shadows which will give a powdered appearance similar to made-up eyebrows.
What are the advantages of opting for microshading?
Microshading has many benefits for people with sparse eyebrows or those who want to have enhanced brows without having to wear makeup every day.
Make your eyebrows thicker
Microshading, thanks to its gradient technique, gives the illusion of thicker eyebrows. It is therefore particularly recommended for women with gaps to fill or sparse eyebrows.
Enjoying long-term makeup of eyebrows
This method of dermopigmentation offers you the possibility of enjoying a sophisticated and made-up effect without having to put on makeup every morning. The effects of microshading can actually remain visible for 1 to 3 years, after having made a few touch-ups to balance the shades of the pigments.
A less painful technique than microblading
Finally, another major advantage of microshading is that this permanent makeup is less invasive compared to other techniques such as microblading. It is less painful to perform and will be better tolerated by your skin. It is therefore recommended for women who have particularly sensitive skin and who wish to try the experience of permanent makeup.
Where to do microshading?
Microshading cannot be done just anywhere. Indeed, permanent makeup must be done by a professional beautician in a beauty salon.
A technique to be performed only in a beauty salon
Microshading requires specific equipment and professional know-how which does not allow everyone to perform this technique independently.
Microshading must be carried out in clean premises
This dermopigmentation technique inserts dermopigments into your skin. It is therefore essential that the hygiene conditions of the premises are impeccable.
The equipment must be sterilized
Microshading is performed using needles. The equipment must therefore be renewed after each client. In addition, the materials used (pigments, needles, gloves, etc.) must be of high quality (in particular, the ink used and introduced into your skin). This will avoid allergic reactions or other unpleasant skin reactions.
The beautician must have been trained
Another point, the beautician who will take care of you must have followed specific training in microshading, because it is a complex permanent makeup which requires very specific technical skills.
How to do microshading in a salon?
Microshading is generally broken down into several steps:
- An initial consultation meeting to take stock of the expected result.
- A first session to create your permanent makeup . This session generally lasts one hour.
- A touch-up one month later to rebalance the shades, or even to correct any imperfections.
How much does it cost to have microshading done in a salon?
At Atelier du Sourcil, we perform quality microshading for €230* (including a touch-up session within two months after the service). For this price, you benefit from a service performed by a professional and personalized advice.
What factors influence the price of microshading?
Several elements significantly impact the price of a microshading session:
- The cost of materials used and which must be renewed at each session (gloves, needles);
- The quality of the dermopigments used;
- The institute's fixed costs;
- The experience and reputation of the salon;
- Scheduling payment for sessions (full payment in one go or payment in installments per session).
Beware of prices that are too attractive, they usually hide something! If a service provider offers you a really low price, this may mean that the equipment used is not of good quality or that all hygiene measures are not respected.
