Burbank Microblading Salon

The business has a main address on North Reese Place and a second location downtown on East Orange Grove Avenue. It says its focus is quality and service, and that its artists are among the top in Los Angeles.

Microblading is the studio's main service. It is a hand-drawn technique that creates fine hair-like strokes, done with a handheld microblade rather than a tattoo machine. The studio says the technique first appeared in Asia more than 20 years ago and became popular in the United States by 2015, and it claims the method works on all skin tones and colors. Designs can also be created for clients with sparse or no eyebrows, to shape the eye and cut down on daily brow makeup. A visit usually spans two appointments. The first includes a client profile and a waterproof pencil sketch so the look can be agreed before any ink goes in. The microblading session itself lasts 30 to 45 minutes within an appointment of about two hours, and a topical anesthetic is applied first to numb the area. A free consultation on microblading is offered.

Beyond brows, the studio offers permanent upper and bottom eyeliner, with a natural-looking eyelash enhancement included at no extra charge, along with Pink Lips & Nipples, lip and areola re-pigmentation that the studio describes as a specialty within medical tattooing. Eyelash extensions are also available. Microbladed brows typically last one to two years for most people, while permanent lips and eyeliner last three to five years. Eyeliner and lip work may be swollen for two days. Healing takes about 30 days, with mild scabbing possible. For the first seven days, brows should stay dry, avoid workouts, and go without brow makeup. Clients are asked to stay out of sun and water while healing, avoid chlorine and exfoliating creams, and apply a small amount of A&D ointment twice a day. Microblading is not offered to anyone under 18, and certain medical or skin conditions limit eligibility. Appointments can be booked by calling (818) 823-0279 or through the sign-up form on the site.

The studio describes its focus as quality and service and says it follows state safety requirements and strict health guidelines.
