(Newswire.net — September 26, 2018) — This analysis takes a look at the price of microblading versus conventional eyebrow maintenance. Microblading has grown in popularity over the years as a way for women to avoid the daily maintenance routine and promising to give lush looking natural eyebrows. The question is whether or not microblading costs the same or more than maintaining your eyebrows using the conventional method.
To calculate this, take the cost of the average microblading treatment in the Santa Clara Ca area and compare it to the cost of makeup (just eyebrows) doing it the old fashioned way.
The cost of microblading according to Vu Dang, a local microblading artist who specializes in European Microblading in the Santa Clara area, a “typical microblading treatment will run from $400-$600 dollars”. This includes the initial consultation, treatment and touch up visit that is necessary to have professional quality brows. “The price has trended down since microblading was first introduced. Previously, it was common to pay $800-$1000 for a treatment which typically lasts one to three years.”
According to national averages, most women spend $140 on makeup, waxing, or threading in any given year. This number is based on 3 visits to a threading or waxing shop or Brow Bar and then the average monthly cost of makeup for brows.
“If you were to microblade your eyebrows and the treatment lasted for 2 years or more it would cost just a little more than if you are doing daily maintenance yourself,” says Vu.
The big factor is the time savings of not having to do your brows on a daily basis. “You have to ask yourself how much is your time worth, and how much more productive you could be if you did not have to spend time doing your eyebrows every morning. A professional microblading artist will give you a look that your are happy with that lasts a long time,” concludes Vu.
