How Much Does Microblading Cost?

Microblading is low maintenance. After healing, you can rub them and enjoy swimming. No special care is required, except for a brief touch-up once a year. The smudge-proof solution will cost you anywhere between $700 and $2,000. But waking up every morning with perfect brows may totally be worth it.

The average woman spends about 10 minutes a day colouring and drawing their eyebrows. That's over 60 hours a year! If eyebrow drawing or colouring was your job, that would be 1.5 work weeks! The average monthly costs of eyebrow-related makeup is about $600/year. With microblading, you will save yourself money on expiring cosmetics and 4.5 weeks of brow vacation!

What factors contribute to the cost of microblading services in Ottawa?

2. Years of experience

Though years of experience do not exactly translate into a higher price, it is assumed that more years of experience result in greater skill and work product. The relationship between years of experience and skill does max out at some point in terms of output.

3. Quality and skill of work product

If your brows look fine, and I mean damn fine (e.g. proper transitions, tight spacing between the hairs, correct pigment colour mixing, evenness, and a consistent proper pattern), you can expect to pay top dollar. Though some microblading artists will still charge you top dollar and give you brows that are not top dollar.

4. Materials Used

A single U blade alone can vary in cost between $2.00 to $10.00. Pigments can range in cost as much as $100/bottle and that's if the microblading artist is satisfied with the pigment performance. Otherwise, $35 is garbaged and they move on to the next bottle or product with a more predictable and satisfactory performance. A good microblading artist will not compromise on tools or product quality.

When it comes to your face, you should never economize. It goes without saying: you get what you pay for. When making a semi-permanent/permanent change to your face or body, paying too little can have disastrous outcomes. This can often lead to lengthy removal and consultation processes resulting in significant costs. Removal costs are $600/session and may require 6 to 8 sessions to correct poor work. This can be both emotionally and financially exhausting and entirely not worth it.
