You stop checking the mirror every hour wondering if your brows still look even. No more smudging by midday or worrying about them disappearing at the gym.
Your morning routine gets 15 minutes shorter because drawing on eyebrows is no longer part of it. You look put-together the second you wake up, before coffee, before anything.
The shape matches your face, not some generic template. Each hair stroke blends with what you already have, so nobody asks if you “got work done”—they just notice you look more polished. More confident.
That’s what microblading does. It gives you back time and eliminates the daily guesswork. Your brows stay consistent through workouts, swimming, humidity, and those mornings when you’re running late. They just work.
Jacqueline Grace has been named Best Aesthetician in Wake County three consecutive years. She’s also placed first and second internationally at The Skin Games in the Pigmentation Artist of the Year category.
We serve Roxboro, NC and over 20 surrounding communities with medical-grade skincare backed by one of the Triangle’s most respected medical directors. Every microblading treatment starts with a free consultation to map your face shape, discuss your goals, and create a personalized approach.
This isn’t a chain spa or a side hustle. It’s a licensed esthetician with specialized permanent makeup training who’s built a reputation on natural-looking results and honest communication. Roxboro clients drive here because the work speaks for itself.
You start with a free consultation where Jacqueline examines your natural brow shape, discusses what you want, and explains what’s realistic for your face and skin type. No pressure, no upselling.
If you move forward, the actual microblading appointment takes about two hours. Your brows get numbed with a topical anesthetic, so discomfort stays minimal—most clients rate it a 2 to 4 out of 10. Then Jacqueline uses a fine blade to create individual hair strokes that mimic your natural brow pattern, depositing pigment into the upper dermal layer.
You’ll see results immediately, though the color softens as you heal over the next four weeks. Some flaking and light scabbing is normal during that time. A touch-up appointment six to eight weeks later perfects the shape and fills in any areas that didn’t retain pigment as expected.
After that, your brows last anywhere from one to three years depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you follow aftercare instructions. Most people come back for a refresh every 12 to 18 months to keep them looking sharp.

Microblading isn’t your only option. We also offer powder brows, which create a softer, filled-in look similar to brow makeup, and nano brows, which use an even finer blade for ultra-realistic hair strokes.
Roxboro clients with oily skin often do better with powder brows because the technique holds up longer on skin that produces more sebum. If you have sparse brows or gaps from over-plucking, nano brows can fill those areas with strokes so fine they’re nearly impossible to distinguish from real hair.
During your consultation, Jacqueline will recommend the best technique for your skin type, lifestyle, and the look you’re going for. Some people even combine methods—hair strokes in the front for a natural start, powder shading in the tail for more definition.
Pricing in Roxboro and the surrounding Wake County area typically falls between $400 and $600 for a full microblading session, with touch-ups running $125 to $350. Our pricing reflects the level of training, the quality of pigments used, and the fact that you’re working with someone who’s won international recognition for this exact skill.
Most people expect microblading to hurt more than it does. Based on data from thousands of clients, 81% rate the discomfort at a 5 or below on a 10-point scale. The average lands around a 2 to 4.
You get a topical numbing cream applied before the procedure starts, which takes the edge off significantly. Some areas of the brow are more sensitive than others, and everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but it’s generally described as a scratching or light pressure sensation rather than sharp pain.
If you’ve ever had your eyebrows threaded or waxed, you can handle microblading. The anticipation is usually worse than the actual experience. Jacqueline works methodically and checks in with you throughout the appointment to make sure you’re comfortable.
Microblading typically lasts 12 to 36 months depending on your skin type, age, lifestyle, and how well you care for your brows during the healing process. Oily skin tends to break down pigment faster, so you might need a refresh closer to the one-year mark.
You’ll need a touch-up appointment six to eight weeks after your initial session. This isn’t optional—it’s part of the process. Your skin sheds and heals differently in different areas, so some spots may not retain pigment as well on the first pass. The touch-up evens everything out and deepens the color.
After that, most clients come back every 12 to 18 months for a maintenance appointment to keep the shape crisp and the color fresh. Think of it like getting your hair colored—it’s not permanent, but it lasts long enough that you’re not dealing with it every few weeks.
Your brows will look darker and more intense immediately after the appointment. That’s normal. The color softens significantly over the next week as your skin starts healing.
Days 3 through 10 are when you’ll see flaking and light scabbing. It can feel tight or itchy, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin. Don’t pick at it. Let the scabs fall off naturally, or you risk pulling out pigment and creating patchy spots.
You’ll need to keep your brows dry for the first week—no sweating, swimming, or long showers where water runs directly over your face. You’ll also apply a thin layer of aftercare ointment a few times a day to keep the area moisturized. By week four, your brows will have settled into their final color and shape, though they’ll still lighten a bit more before your touch-up appointment.
Check their credentials first. They should be a licensed esthetician or cosmetologist with specialized training in permanent makeup. Ask to see before-and-after photos of their actual work, not stock images pulled from the internet.
Look for someone who offers a free consultation and doesn’t rush you into booking. A good artist will assess your skin type, discuss your goals, explain what’s realistic, and walk you through the process without pressuring you to commit on the spot.
Awards and certifications matter. Jacqueline at Wake Skincare has been named Best Aesthetician in Wake County three years running and has won international competitions for pigmentation artistry. That’s not luck—that’s skill and consistency. You’re trusting someone to put semi-permanent marks on your face, so credentials and reputation should carry weight in your decision.
Yes, but you won’t need to wear brow makeup anymore. That’s the whole point. You can still do your regular eye makeup, foundation, and everything else—you just skip the part where you fill in your eyebrows every morning.
During the healing process, you’ll need to avoid putting any makeup directly on your brows for at least two weeks. After that, once everything is fully healed, you can apply makeup around them or even add a bit of brow gel if you want extra definition for a special event.
Most people find they actually wear less makeup overall after microblading because their face already looks more polished and balanced. Your eyes stand out more when your brows frame them properly, so you might not feel like you need as much eyeliner or mascara to feel put-together.
Microblading uses a manual blade to create individual hair strokes that mimic natural brow hairs. It’s best for people with normal to dry skin who want a very natural, feathered look.
Powder brows use a machine to deposit pigment in a way that creates a soft, powdered effect—like you filled in your brows with makeup. This technique lasts longer on oily skin and gives you a more defined, polished look. It’s a good option if you like the look of filled-in brows or if your skin doesn’t hold hair strokes well.
Nano brows are similar to microblading but use an even finer blade to create ultra-realistic hair strokes. The lines are thinner and more precise, which works well for filling in sparse areas or creating a very detailed, natural look. Some artists combine techniques—hair strokes in the front, powder shading in the tail—to give you the best of both worlds. Jacqueline will recommend what works best for your skin and goals during your consultation.
