When it comes to perfect brows, two techniques stand out:
Microblading 💉 and Nano Brows ✨.
Both deliver beautiful results — and as experts in both methods, we know exactly how to customize brows for each client.
But here’s the truth: in 2025, Nano Brows have become the clear winner for those who want natural beauty, modern technology, and longer-lasting results.
As a 1st Place Award-Winning International Artist, Speaker, and Judge, I’ve trained and judged PMU artists around the world.
Here’s my expert breakdown — and why Nano Brows may be the best decision you’ll ever make for your brows.
🔍 What Is Microblading?
Microblading is the traditional method. Using a handheld tool with tiny blades, pigment is scratched into the skin to create hair-like strokes.
✨ Best for:
Clients who want crisp, bold brows
People with normal to dry skin
Those looking for a more affordable starting option
⚠️ Downsides:
More trauma to the skin (tiny cuts)
Healing can be more uncomfortable with scabbing and redness
Results fade faster on oily or sensitive skin
💵 Average cost: $400–$1,600
✨ What Are Nano Brows?
Nano Brows are the modern evolution of PMU brows. Instead of blades, we use a high-precision PMU machine with a single fine needle. This allows us to place pigment gently and accurately, creating ultra-natural results.
✨ Why clients LOVE Nano Brows:
Gentle on the skin — less trauma, better healing
Suitable for everyone — including mature and sensitive skin
Natural, feathered finish — brows look soft, fluffy, and realistic
Longer-lasting — fades gracefully, with touch-ups every 18–24 months
💵 Average cost: $600–$2,000
👉 While Microblading was once the gold standard, Nano Brows are now considered the luxury option — and clients say the difference is worth every penny.

💡 Why We Recommend Nano Brows for Most Clients
While Microblading still has its place, we encourage most of our clients to choose Nano Brows. Why?
✅ Less invasive = faster, more comfortable healing
✅ Universal = works beautifully on nearly every skin type
✅ Natural finish = no harsh lines, no heavy brows — just realistic hair strokes
✅ Future-proof = the newest and most advanced PMU technique available
Nano Brows aren’t just a treatment. They’re an investment in long-term beauty.
❌ Common Myths About Nano Brows
🚫 “They’re only for older clients.” → False. Nano Brows are ideal for all ages.
🚫 “They look too light.” → Not true. With the right technique, Nano Brows can be soft or bold, fully customizable.
🚫 “They’re too expensive.” → Consider touch-up frequency: Nano Brows last longer, so you may actually spend less over time.
