Soft, defined, and custom-mapped
Microblading is a form of permanent makeup in which a hand-held blade deposits pigment in individual stroke patterns that mimic natural brow hair. Meixiang maps each set to your features so the result is soft, defined, and your own.
It suits normal-to-dry skin best, and results typically last about 1–2 years, with a perfecting touch-up after healing included in many services. If your skin is oily or combination, ask about nano brows, where machine strokes are often the better fit.

Questions, answered
How long does microblading last?
Typically about 1–2 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, and aftercare. A perfecting touch-up after healing is included in many services.
How much does microblading cost in Boston?
At Pretty Chic PMU: Microblading starts at $600; Brow done from another artist starts at $600. Prices match our Vagaro menu. A deposit holds your appointment and is applied to the service total. Our full price list is at prettychicpmu.com/permanent-makeup-prices-boston/.
Is microblading right for oily skin?
It works best on normal-to-dry skin. If your skin is oily or combination, nano brows are often a better fit, and Meixiang can advise at your consultation.
Does it hurt?
We use topical numbing, so most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure or scratching rather than sharp pain. Comfort varies by person and treatment area.
