Frequently Asked Questions

How much does microblading cost?

At Nirvana PMU, microblading costs $650 for the first session, which includes the initial procedure and a required touch-up at 6-8 weeks. Annual refreshers are $300 to maintain your results.

Is microblading worth the money?

Most clients find microblading pays for itself within 6-12 months when you factor in the cost of brow products (pencils, gels, powders) and the time spent every morning. If you spend just 15 minutes daily on your brows, that is over 90 hours per year. Our calculator helps you see your personal ROI.

How long does microblading last?

Microblading typically lasts 1-3 years depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Most clients get an annual refresher ($300) to keep their brows looking fresh. Results fade gradually, so you will never have harsh lines or outdated shapes.

Understanding Microblading Costs

When researching microblading prices, you will find costs ranging from $200 to $1,500 depending on location, artist experience, and quality of pigments used. At Nirvana PMU in Shorewood, IL, I charge $650 for the complete first session, which includes both the initial procedure and your required 6-8 week touch-up appointment.

What Is Included in the Price

  • Thorough consultation and custom brow mapping
  • Premium hypoallergenic pigments
  • Complete aftercare kit
  • Required touch-up session at 6-8 weeks
  • Photo documentation of your results

Why Quality Matters

With nearly 10 years of focused expertise and over 3,500+ treatments, I have seen firsthand what happens when clients try to save money with bargain microblading. Poorly done work often requires expensive correction or removal. The right shape changes everything, and natural is non-negotiable.

Long-Term Value

Consider how much you currently spend on brow products and how much time you invest each morning. For many clients, microblading pays for itself within the first year when you factor in both the financial and time savings. Use the calculator above to see your personal return on investment.
