Perfectly shaped eyebrows are a must-have in 2025. Not everyone is blessed with naturally full, symmetrical brows, while daily makeup routines can be tedious, and messy or uneven brows can ruin your look in seconds.

In this guide, I will break down everything you need to know about microblading: what it is, why it matters, its pros and cons, and why Urban Glam House Kenya is the best place to get it done.
What Is Microblading?
Microblading is a form of semi-permanent tattooing that creates natural-looking hair strokes to fill in thin or patchy eyebrows. Unlike traditional eyebrow tattoos, which can look harsh and unnatural, microblading uses a fine, handheld tool to deposit pigment superficially into the skin.
The result? Fuller, well-defined brows that last before requiring touch-ups.
How Does It Work?
- Consultation – A trained technician assesses your natural brow shape, skin type, and desired look.
- Mapping & Design – Using precise measurements, they outline the perfect brow shape for your face.
- Numbing – A topical anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort.
- Microblading Process – The artist manually etches hair-like strokes into the skin, filling gaps and enhancing shape.
- Healing & Aftercare – Proper care ensures long-lasting results. Check out this blog for tips on how to care for your brows after microblading.
At Urban Glam House Kenya, our experts use high-quality pigments and sterilized tools to ensure safety and precision.
Why Well-Groomed Eyebrows Matter
Eyebrows frame your face, influence facial symmetry, and can make you look younger. Here’s why investing in great brows is worth it:
- Enhances Facial Features – Well-shaped brows balance your eyes, nose, and jawline.
- Saves Time – No more daily filling, shaping, or worrying about smudged makeup.
- Boosts Confidence – Fuller brows create a glossy, put-together appearance.
- Low Maintenance – Microbladed brows stay perfect even after workouts, swimming, or sweating.
If you’re tired of spending hours on eyebrow makeup, microblading could be your game-changer.
Advantages of Microblading
1. Natural-Looking Results
Unlike eyebrow pencils or powders, microblading mimics real hair strokes, blending perfectly with your natural brows.
2. Long-Lasting but Not Permanent
Traditional tattoos fade into a bluish tint over time, but microblading fades naturally, allowing you to adjust shape or color as trends change.
3. Saves Time & Money
No more buying expensive brow products or spending 10+ minutes daily on makeup so that extra money you can use on your lashes. Learn more about eyelashes and how they can enhance your look.
4. Great for Sparse or Over-Plucked Brows
If years of waxing or threading left your brows thin, it restores them without daily effort.
5. Customizable to Your Style
Whether you prefer bold or a soft, natural look, a skilled artist tailors everything to your preference.
At Urban Glam House Kenya, we specialize in personalized microblading to match your unique facial structure.
Disadvantages & Risks
As we know, everything that has pros also has some cons. While microblading offers incredible benefits, it’s not without drawbacks. Here’s what to consider:
1. Painful but Manageable
Most clients describe microblading as a slight scratching sensation, although discomfort varies depending on individual pain tolerance. A numbing cream helps minimize it.
2. Requires Proper Aftercare
Avoiding water, sweat, and sun exposure for the first 7-10 days is crucial for optimal healing.
3. Possible Allergic Reactions or Infections after microblading.
Choosing an experienced, licensed artist reduces risks, and always check for hygiene certifications before booking.
4. Results Depend on Skin Type
- Oily skin – Pigment may fade faster, requiring more frequent touch-ups.
- Dry or normal skin – Results typically last longer.
5. Not Suitable for Everyone
Avoid microblading if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have diabetes, eczema, or keloid scarring
- Are you on blood thinners or acne medications? Consult a doctor first
At Urban Glam House Kenya, we conduct thorough consultations to ensure you’re a good candidate before proceeding.
Microblading Aftercare: What to Expect
The healing process takes 4-6 weeks, with brows appearing darker initially before settling into a natural shade.
Do’s:
- Keep brows dry for the first week
- Apply recommended ointment lightly
- Avoid direct sunlight and tanning
Don’ts:
- Scratch or pick at scabs
- Use makeup or harsh skincare near brows
- Swim or steam for at least 2 weeks
Following these steps ensures long-lasting, beautiful results.
