Microblading vs Combo Brows: Which One Should You Choose?

In this article we will help you understand which one you should choose - microblading vs combo brows. If you're thinking about improving your brows, you’ve probably heard of both microblading and combo brows. Both treatments can create beautiful results - but which one is right for you?

Here’s a simple, expert breakdown.

💭 Microblading

Microblading is a manual technique using ultra-fine hair-like strokes.It creates the most natural result and is ideal for:

• normal to dry skin

• clients with existing brow hair

• those who want soft, subtle brows

The strokes mimic real hair and blend seamlessly with your natural growth.

💭 Combo Brows

Combination brows include both microblading strokes and soft shading.

It’s perfect for:

• oily or combination skin

• sparse or patchy brows

• clients wanting more fullness and definition

• longer-lasting results

The shading adds depth and structure while still looking natural.

💭 Which One Lasts Longer?

Combo brows usually last longer because the shading holds pigment better on oily skin. Although microblading alone can last for a long time on dry to normal skin.
