OUR CONCEPT - THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
JAPANESE PRECISION AND SHARPNESS. Japan is the birthplace of microblading, a brow artform that has changed everything when it comes to semi-permanent brow design. We have developed microblading techniques so that we can achieve the most precise and highly defined brow shape that stays for up to one year. That is the Sharp Brows part of the process.
CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN HIP. The hottest trend in the semi-permanent brow world is brow shading, and that is exactly what the shading part consists of. We've included everything that is up to a minute and hot from the semi-permanent brow shading styles into our concept. That is the Brow shading part.
Beautiful combination of sharpness and shading
How much does the SharpBrows + Browshading procedure cost?
It largely depends on the service provider. A certified SharpBrows + Browshading professionals usually ask around $250 - $350 for the combined procedure. That usually also consists of at least one retouch procedure, which is a lighter repetition of the initial SharpBrows + Browshading procedure. Different artists are allowed to define prices of their own. However, if an artist wishes to progress on the local map of SharpBrows affiliates, the average price over time should not be lower than 250€ per procedure (including the retouch).
Why should I want Browshading on top of my beautiful SharpBrows eyebrows?
It's a matter of taste, as they say. And also, it is to a large extent, connected to how much you want to be involved in taking care of your brows during the following year after the procedure. No, the combined procedure is not just for the lazy ones; it's for those who do not want to reshape their brows with makeup that often and do not want to put on any brow makeup at all.
UPDATE: With Light microblading, many SharpBrows artists also practice adding some Light Shading. The idea of that is to make the brow look more natural and hide the difference between your own brow hair and microblade lines.
Can I have Browshading done separately if I already have semi-permanent eyebrows?
Well, the principal answer is yes. However, it depends on the artist. As a rule, certified SharpBrows + Browshading professionals still charge the price of the whole procedure for creating shading to browse the microblading of which has been performed by another artist. Thus we always suggest establishing a relationship with a certified SharpBrows + Browshading professional from the very beginning and having the initial procedure performed by the same artist that will perform all the retouches in the future.
UPDATE: When it comes to Light microblading, shading is not usually done separately. For creating brows that have a flawless makeup look, the newest technique of SharpBrows Inc is practiced - SUPEROMBRE.
How long will the result actually stay on?
Well, that is a question that has made many professionals in the microblading circles rise an eyebrow (no pun intended). Although many artists advertising their services and also many companies advertising their classes claim that the result of microblading will stay flawless for a year if a client has experienced just one microblading procedure and one retouch, we do not suggest you take it with a grain of salt. To make the result of the SharpBrows microblading look flawless throughout one year, we believe you really need to come in for at least 2 more retouching procedures during the year (usually during the first months after the initial procedure). The result of the Browshading wears off in a somewhat different way, however, the retouching procedures are usually carried out for both simultaneously.
UPDATE: With Light microblading, most artist practice retouching the following way.
1) First retouch (must-have) in 5 to 6 weeks after the initial procedure.
2) Second retouch in 6 months after the first retouch (usually minor correction is needed).
3) Third retouch (and all the following retouches) around 6-8 months after the previous one.
No professional SharpBrows Light microblading artist should use pigment when opening wounds at the retouch. All wounds should be opened with the RazorSharp very thin U-blade (or any other high-quality thin blade), and pigment should be rubbed in afterward. This also, amongst other things, avoids lines from blurring.
Can I learn the SharpBrows microblading procedure and the Browshading technique with you?
Yes, of course, you can. Although that was not the sole reason the company was established, we started providing SharpBrows + Browshading classes right from the inception. However, you have to remain that the 2-day or 3-day course will not guarantee you a career as a SharpBrows microblading professional. What it does is the following: it gives you a distinct possibility to become very familiar with which skills need to be acquired and a clear perspective to master those. So far, a very large percentage (more than half) of our students have remained true to a career as a microblading brow professional.
UPDATE: There are different pieces of training that you can take with SharpBrows Academy; here are the most popular ones:
1) Artist 3.0 - LIGHT MICROBLADING class. A complete 2 days training program to learn Light microblading with an opportunity to practice microblading on 2-3 models on the second day. Price (depending on the country) is usually between 1299-1799 eur. The price includes a full starter kit and access to the Brow Analytics (now Futurgate.io) system for 1 year.
2) Masterclass training. Advanced 1 - 2 days of training for students that want to refine their technical skills when it comes to microblading. Prices vary greatly depending on the country and the trainer. Still, usually, the price for a day remains under 1000€.
3) VIP individual training. Carried out in a very small group and usually at the premises of the local SharpBrows training center. Last for three days. VIP classes are very much customized according to the needs of a concrete student and thus also prices wary. In most cases, investment remains in between 3000 and 4000 euros (all inclusive).
Why should I think that SharpBrows + Browshading is better than other microblading procedures?
We do not claim that our approach is ultimately the best because anything related to the quality of the microblading procedure (as well as brow shading) depends on a large number of criteria, i.e. the experience of the artist, the tools used, the time spent analyzing what would actually be the correct brow shape for the client. However, what we can assure you is the following. SharpBrows + Browshading is the most modern and well-thought-through approach to creating micro bladed brows as well as performing brow shading. We are constantly testing all sorts of new approaches to analyze those pros and cons. We are absolutely independent when it comes to those thus, we are convinced that the tools and techniques we use have a distinct competitive advantage.
UPDATE: It's hard to be humble when it comes to actual differences between Light microblading and conventional microblading. There are three major reasons Light microblading is considerably better:
1) Brows look more natural - there are 1,5-2 x more lines in the brows.
2) Lines are thinner and sharper - As the skin is penetrated in a different way compared to conventional microblading edges of the lines remain considerably thinner.
3) Brows last better - Although it may sound a bit counter-intuitive at first, compared to conventional microblading, with Light microblading, the artist is able to insert more pigment into the skin, and brows last considerably better.
Where has the SharpBrows + Browshading system been created?
SharpBrows + Browshading system has been created by a small group of brow experts from Switzerland, Finland, and the Baltics. And yes, we do have a strong Japanese link (a member of our team is even able to speak Japanese). However, on a more serious note - we have been into microblading since the very start of it, and that has allowed us to develop the techniques remarkably.
UPDATE: Since the A-round, the lead investor of SharpBrows is a Russian/Jewish investment fund JCBB Ltd. SharpBrows has signed several cooperation contracts with representatives that gained exclusive training and promotion rights in different regions.
