Most clients rate the sensation 2–4 out of 10. We apply topical numbing cream before and throughout every procedure, so most people feel light pressure rather than pain. The entire appointment takes 90–120 minutes including the numbing period.

Microblading uses a hand tool to create individual hair-stroke marks — ideal for dry to normal skin and a natural look. Powder brows use a shading technique for a soft, filled-in effect — better for all skin types including oily. Both last 12–36 months. Not sure which is right for you? We help you decide at your free consultation.

Lip blush typically lasts 2–3 years. Color softens naturally over time, and annual refreshes keep it looking vibrant. A complimentary 6-week touch-up is included with your initial appointment.

Lip blush is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that adds natural color and definition to the lips. Unlike traditional lip liner, it creates soft, diffused color that looks like your lips — but better. It enhances shape, improves symmetry, and lasts 2–3 years.

Permanent eyeliner lasts 2–4 years depending on style and skin type. We offer everything from subtle lash enhancement to bold winged liner. Starting at $80.

Yes — but powder brows or ombré brows are a better fit for oily skin. They retain definition and color much longer than microblading on oily skin types. We assess your skin at the free consultation and recommend the right technique.

Full healing takes 4–6 weeks. The first 2 weeks involve some darkening, flaking, and apparent fading — this is completely normal. By week 6 the true healed color reveals itself. We provide complete aftercare instructions at your appointment.

For the first 7–10 days: keep brows dry, avoid sweating, no makeup on the treated area, no sun exposure. No picking or peeling flakes. After week 2: apply provided healing ointment as needed. Full written aftercare instructions are given at every appointment.

Yes — the 6-week touch-up is essential. After healing, 10–20% of strokes may need to be refreshed. At the touch-up, we refine color, fill any gaps, and perfect the shape. This appointment is included free with every new service at New Level Beauty.
