Microblading State Requirements - Arizona, Canada, Wisconsin

First, What Exactly Is Microblading?

The Microblading procedure exploded in the beauty industry in the United States and Europe around 2010. It's a semi-permanent procedure where ink is placed under the epidermis layer of the skin with a manual microblading tool. The manual microblading tool is far less painful than the digital microblading machine. The digital machine replicates a tattoo machine and is extremely painful even with numbing cream. Clients prefer the manual procedure over the digital procedure for this reason. Microblading simulates real individual eyebrow hairs and lasts up to 2 years with proper care. It produces great results for people who simply don't like their eyebrows, Alopecia sufferers, and even people who have lost their hair due to different medical conditions and recovering chemotherapy patients.
