You’re not looking for Instagram brows that scream “I got work done.” You want brows that frame your face, look completely natural, and don’t require a morning routine.
That’s what microblading does. It’s a semi-permanent technique that creates hair-like strokes using pigment and a fine blade. The result lasts 12 to 18 months depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you follow aftercare.
No more filling in sparse areas. No more worrying about smudging at the gym or pool. Just consistent, natural-looking brows that match your face and your life.
If you’ve been dealing with over-plucked brows, thinning from age or medical treatments, or just uneven growth, this is the solution that actually sticks. You get your time back without compromising how you look.
We’re not new to this. Jacqueline Grace has been named Best Esthetician in Wake County three years running and placed first internationally in the Pigmentation Artist of the Year category at The Skin Games.
She’s also HydraFacial Master Certified, which puts her in the top 100 practitioners worldwide. That level of training and recognition doesn’t happen by accident.
Serving Creedmoor and 21 other cities across Wake County, we’ve built a reputation on natural results and medical-grade standards. You’re not walking into a trend-chasing studio. You’re working with someone who understands facial structure, skin tone, and what actually lasts.
Every treatment starts with a free consultation where your brows are mapped to your bone structure and preferences. No cookie-cutter shapes. No pushy upsells. Just honest guidance on what will work for your face.
Your appointment starts with a consultation and brow mapping. Jacqueline measures your face, discusses shape and color, and sketches the design directly on your skin so you can see it before anything is permanent.
Once you approve the shape, a topical numbing cream is applied. Most clients rate the discomfort as a 2 to 4 out of 10—less painful than waxing, more like light scratching. The actual microblading takes about two hours as each stroke is placed by hand to mimic natural hair growth.
You’ll leave with slightly darker brows than the final result. That’s normal. Over the next 7 to 10 days, the pigment settles and lightens as your skin heals.
A touch-up appointment is scheduled 6 to 8 weeks later to fill in any areas that didn’t retain pigment fully. After that, you’re set for 12 to 18 months before you’ll need a refresh. The process is straightforward, and you’ll know what to expect at every step.

Microblading isn’t the only option for permanent eyebrows. Depending on your skin type and the look you want, nano brows or powder brows might be a better fit.
Nano brows use a machine instead of a manual blade, which works better on oily or mature skin where traditional microblading might not hold as well. Powder brows create a soft, filled-in look similar to makeup—think brow pencil that doesn’t wash off.
In Wake County, where humidity and active lifestyles are the norm, choosing the right technique matters. If you’re someone who sweats through workouts, spends time outdoors, or has skin that tends to push out pigment, the consultation will help determine what holds up best for you.
Your service includes the initial session, aftercare instructions, and a follow-up appointment. You’ll also get guidance on how to maintain your results long-term, what products to avoid, and when to schedule your next refresh. Everything is customized based on how your skin heals and how the pigment settles.
Microblading typically starts around $300 and can go higher depending on the artist’s experience and the complexity of the work. At Wake Skincare, our pricing reflects the level of training, certification, and the quality of pigments we use.
You’re not just paying for the appointment. You’re paying for someone who’s won international competitions, holds a HydraFacial Master Certification, and has been recognized as the best in Wake County three years in a row.
When you factor in that results last 12 to 18 months, the cost per day is minimal compared to buying brow products, spending time filling them in every morning, or dealing with the frustration of brows that don’t stay put. It’s an investment that saves you time and gives you consistency.
Most clients describe the sensation as light scratching or pressure, not sharp pain. On a scale of 1 to 10, the average is between 2 and 4.
A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure starts, which significantly reduces discomfort. The most common feedback is that it’s less painful than eyebrow waxing, which most people have experienced dozens of times without issue.
Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but the process is designed to be as comfortable as possible. If you’re nervous, bring it up during your consultation. Jacqueline will walk you through what to expect and answer any concerns before you commit.
Microblading lasts 12 to 18 months on average, depending on your skin type, age, sun exposure, and skincare routine. Oily skin tends to fade faster because the pigment doesn’t hold as well in larger pores.
One of the biggest complaints people have about bad microblading is color change—brows turning green, orange, or blue over time. That happens when low-quality pigments are used or when the artist doesn’t understand undertones and skin chemistry.
We use medical-grade pigments that are formulated to fade naturally without shifting to strange colors. During your consultation, the pigment is custom-blended to match your natural brow color and skin tone. As it fades, it lightens gradually rather than changing hue. That’s the difference between working with a certified artist and taking a chance on someone without proper training.
Microblading is safe when performed by a licensed, trained professional who follows proper health and safety protocols. The concern is valid—only 25% of people believe microblading procedures are usually followed by safe practices, according to industry surveys.
At Wake Skincare, all tools are single-use and disposed of after each client. The treatment area is sanitized, gloves are worn, and pigments are never double-dipped. Jacqueline is licensed and certified, and we operate under the same medical-grade standards used for other aesthetic procedures.
Before your appointment, you’ll be walked through the safety measures in place. If you have questions about sterilization, allergies, or skin sensitivities, bring them up during your free consultation. You should never feel pressured to move forward if you’re not completely comfortable with the process.
Microblading uses a manual blade to create hair-like strokes. It works best on normal to dry skin and gives the most natural, feathered look.
Nano brows use a machine with a single needle to create similar strokes, but with more precision and better retention on oily or mature skin. The results look nearly identical to microblading but tend to last longer and heal more predictably.
Powder brows, also called ombre brows, create a soft, shaded effect that mimics the look of filled-in brows. It’s done with a machine and works well for anyone who wants a more polished, makeup-like finish. This technique also holds up better over time for people with oily skin or large pores.
During your consultation, Jacqueline will assess your skin type, natural brow pattern, and the look you’re going for. The recommendation will be based on what actually works for your face and lifestyle, not what’s trending or easier to perform.
Yes, but it depends on what’s already there. If your previous microblading has faded significantly, it’s usually possible to work over it or adjust the shape and color.
If the old work is still very dark, has changed color, or was done incorrectly, you may need pigment removal or lightening treatments first. That’s something that gets evaluated during your consultation.
A lot of people come in after a bad experience elsewhere—brows that are too dark, the wrong shape, or have turned an odd color. The good news is that semi-permanent doesn’t mean forever. With the right approach, previous work can be corrected or covered.
We’ve worked with clients across Wake County who needed corrections, and the process starts with an honest assessment of what’s possible. You’ll get a clear answer on whether microblading can move forward immediately or if prep work is needed first.
