Bold brows are a coveted facial feature, but many people may still be suffering from the effects of over-plucking in years past. For this reason, there is an abundance of brow services gaining popularity, from henna tattooing, brow tinting, to semi-permanent makeup. Microblading is a type of semi-permanent makeup that uses a small, handheld tool to add hair-like strokes to the skin, giving the illusion of fuller brows. It can last anywhere from one to three years, but it comes at a cost. Luckily, Hoboken Girl has narrowed down a list of spots in Hudson County and beyond that offer microblading, recommended by locals, including pricing.
