Is there any Difference in Procedure Between Men and Women Microblading?
There has been a lot of talk about female microblading in the recent years, with increasing number of women opting for this semi-permanent treatment. Now, with the guys being progressively interested in the procedure, the one question everyone has been wondering about is whether the procedure is the same for both male and female clients.
The answer is yes, there is no significant difference in the process.The one thing many aestheticians agree upon is that, when they are doing men’s eyebrows, they prefer to outline and map them manually, because the shape of men brows has less curves and it differs from women’s.
This is why the artists usually draw the lines by hand and then fill them with strokes that resemble natural hairs.

What Does a Men Microblading Procedure Involve?
There are a few steps that each experienced artist goes through to ensure that their clients get eyebrows which are as natural as possible.
Step 1: Finding a proper color
Most aestheticians will use a custom-made blend of pigments that match the client’s natural brow color. In this way, the microbladed strokes will blend with the real hairs and you won’t be able to tell a difference.
Step 2: Imitating the natural growth pattern
Apart from the color, another essential element the artists need to pay attention to is the direction in which they place each stroke. These strokes must imitate the direction of the surrounding natural hairs in order to provide the perfect blend.
We all know that some hairs grow upwards, some downwards and majority sideways. It is up to the artist to notice the best position of each stroke to make it as similar as possible to the surrounding ones.
Step 3: The shape
We can all agree that when talking about the differences between male and female brows, this is where we see the biggest change. While women’s brows are always perfectly and clearly shaped, men’s tend to be a bit unruly and imperfect, and that’s exactly how we love them!
To ensure the shape will stay like that even after the microblading procedure, the aestheticians make sure to add a few “stray” hairs here and there.
Are the Results Natural-Looking?
To answer you shortly – Yes! If done properly, microblading for men can provide a natural set of brows which will nicely blend with your existing hairs. The procedure is done in such a way that the strokes “sneak in” between your natural hairs, so the final look will just be fuller and better-shaped arches, and that is the beauty of this treatment.
How Long Does Men Microblading Last?
Men microblading usually lasts between 1 and 2 years, depending on several factors, such as your skin type and general lifestyle.
The pigment tends to fade after a year or so, so a touch-up is recommended once a year if you wish to retain the shape and intensity of the pigment. If, on the other hand, you grew tired of them, the great thing is you can just wait for them to fade.
How to Choose the Right Aesthetician for Men Microblading?
This is the most common question people ask. Recommendation is always the safest choice, but not everyone can have that.
The other, equally safe option, is to choose a certified artist with lots of experience and positive reviews. This is a very popular treatment both for women and men, so you shouldn’t have a problem in finding someone who has all the qualifications mentioned above.
And don’t go with the cheapest option, because you will probably regret it. The reason why some salons offer a low-priced treatment is because the staff is inexperienced and/or they work with low-quality pigments and equipment, and you don’t want that for your face and brows.
