Wake Up Every Day with Perfect Brows
Beautiful eyebrows can transform your entire appearance, frame your face, and boost your confidence. At Adriana's Permanent Makeup, our Microblading treatments are designed to create fuller, natural-looking brows that complement your unique features and eliminate the need for daily brow makeup.
With over 20 years of experience serving clients in Wilmington, MA and now welcoming clients to our Salem, NH location, we are dedicated to helping you achieve effortless beauty and long-lasting results.
What Is Microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that uses a specialized handheld tool to create fine, hair-like strokes within the eyebrow area. These strokes mimic natural brow hairs, resulting in fuller, more defined eyebrows.
The technique is ideal for individuals who want to enhance sparse, uneven, or over-plucked brows while maintaining a natural appearance.
Benefits of Microblading
Microblading offers several advantages for those seeking beautifully shaped brows:
- Natural-looking eyebrow enhancement
- Fuller and more symmetrical brows
- Customized shape and design
- Reduced need for daily makeup
- Long-lasting results
- Smudge-proof and waterproof appearance
- Increased confidence and convenience
- Personalized treatment tailored to your facial features
Who Is a Good Candidate for Microblading?
Microblading suits most skin types, but not everyone. These are the conditions we check in the consultation, before any pigment is opened.
Microblading is for you if
- Have thin or sparse eyebrows
- Want to improve brow shape and symmetry
- Have experienced hair loss in the brow area
- Spend time filling in brows daily
- Prefer a natural makeup look
- Want a low-maintenance beauty routine
Microblading is not for you if
- You are pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, or currently using isotretinoin. This is refused at both studios, with no exception
- You take blood thinners, have an autoimmune condition, or a history of keloid scarring. These need written clearance from your doctor first
- You have oily or very oily skin: blade strokes blur faster, and Ombré Shading holds better
- You want the longest-lasting brow. Nano Brows uses a finer needle and holds longer

The Microblading Procedure
Every treatment begins with a detailed consultation and brow mapping session.
The process typically includes:
- Personalized consultation
- Brow design and mapping
- Pigment color selection
- Application of topical numbing cream
- Creation of realistic hair strokes
- Final review and adjustments
Most appointments take approximately 2 to 3 hours.
Microblading Healing Process
Healing is not a straight line: the colour looks darkest before it looks right. Knowing the order stops people from panicking in week one.
| When | What you see |
|---|---|
| Right after | Mild redness immediately after treatment |
| First few days | Darker appearance during the first week |
| During healing | Light flaking or peeling |
| Following weeks | Gradual softening of pigment color |
| 4 to 6 weeks | Fully healed. This is the result you judge |
Aftercare decides how much pigment stays. The full routine is on the aftercare page.
What Does Microblading Cost?
Microblading costs $550 at both the Wilmington, MA and Salem, NH studios. The consultation costs $50, and that $50 is credited toward your service if you book it.
| What you pay for | When it happens | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation | Before booking, in English or Portuguese | $50, credited |
| Microblading, first session | Day of the appointment | $550 |
| Second session | 6 to 8 weeks later, once healing finishes | Included |
| Yearly Touch-Up | About 12 months later, to refresh colour | From $300 |
The second session is not the same appointment as the Yearly Touch-Up: the second session corrects patchy or light spots and is already paid for, the Yearly Touch-Up refreshes colour a year later and is billed separately. Payment can be split into 4 interest-free instalments with Cherry. see the options. Full list on the price page.
How Long Does Microblading Last?
Microblading results typically last between 12 and 24 months, depending on factors such as:
- Skin type
- Lifestyle
- Sun exposure
- Skincare products
- Individual pigment retention
Touch-up appointments help maintain the shape, color, and overall appearance of your brows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most clients report minimal discomfort due to the use of topical numbing products during the procedure.
Appointments typically last between 2 and 3 hours, including consultation and brow design.
Most healing occurs within a few weeks, with complete results visible after approximately 4 to 8 weeks.
You should avoid applying makeup directly on the treated area until the healing process is complete.
Yes. Our goal is to create realistic hair strokes that blend seamlessly with your natural brows.
Microblading costs $550 at both studios, and that price already includes the perfecting session scheduled 6 to 8 weeks after the appointment. The consultation, the mapping and the topical numbing are part of it as well. A yearly touch-up, from $300, is a separate visit about 12 months later. Every price is published on the price list.
Yes. Cherry offers 4 interest-free payments, or a longer plan of up to 24 months with interest. Checking your options takes about a minute and uses a soft credit check, so it does not affect your credit score. Cherry is an independent financing provider: it sets approval and rates, not the studio. See how the payment plan works.
The perfecting session exists for exactly that. It is scheduled 6 to 8 weeks after the first appointment, once the skin has healed, and it is included in the original price at no extra charge. Pigment settles differently on different skin, so the second pass is part of the procedure rather than a repair you pay for.
Most clients book a colour refresh every 12 to 24 months; how long the pigment itself lasts depends on the technique and your skin (each service page gives its own range). After that, a yearly touch-up refreshes the colour from $300, priced by how much pigment is left rather than at a flat rate. That is a separate visit from the perfecting session, which is included in the original price and happens in the first weeks.
Yes. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, being under 18, and current isotretinoin use are refused at both studios, with no exception. Blood thinners, autoimmune conditions and a history of keloid scarring need clearance from your doctor first. The full list is published in the contraindications guide before you book, not after.

★★★★★
I had my eyebrows, eyeliner (upper and lower), and lip blush done with Adriana. She had to remove my old eyebrow microblading first with a few removal sessions first which was well worth it. I am so happy with the results. I have a brand new face! Everything turned out perfectly!!! I couldn't be happier with the results!!! I would recommend her services to anyone looking for permanent makeup. Please do not go to anyone else. I had two other people do mine before coming to her and she is by far the best around!!! Look no further!
★★★★★
She is the best of the best.. I did the microblading and my eyes brows look so real
★★★★★
I took Adriana’s microblading course three years ago, and I loved it. Everything was very organized, clear, and professional. She explained the techniques in a way that made me feel confident to start working right after the course. I still work in this field today, and thanks to God and to her, I’m doing what I truly love. Her teaching made a big difference in my career, and I’m very grateful for all the knowledge she shared. I highly recommend her course to anyone who wants to start or improve in microblading. She is an amazing professional and teacher!

Book NowWhat Should You Check Before Booking Permanent Makeup Anywhere?
Six things are worth verifying with any permanent makeup artist before you book: their licence number, who trained them, what the price includes, whether a price is published at all, what they refuse to do, and whether the technique actually suits your skin.
| What to check | What to ask any artist | The answer here |
|---|---|---|
| Practitioner licence | Ask for the licence number and check it yourself with the state or the town, instead of taking a badge on a website at face value. | New Hampshire Body Artist licence 4283, valid through 18 July 2028 and searchable at the state’s own public lookup. Town of Salem BODA-10 and BODE-4. Body Art Practitioner licence from the Town of Wilmington Board of Health. |
| Who trained them | Ask who certified the artist, and whether that credential can be checked with the body that issued it. | AAM Diamond Certified Trainer, the American Academy of Micropigmentation’s highest level of instructor recognition. |
| What the price includes | Ask whether the perfecting session is included or billed later. This is where quoted prices most often stop matching the final bill. | The perfecting session, 6 to 8 weeks after the appointment, is included in every original price. The yearly touch-up, from $300, is a separate visit about 12 months later. |
| Whether the price is published at all | The consultation costs $50, credited toward the service. A studio that will not name a range before seeing you is not comparable to one that will. | All 13 services are published with their prices, from $250 to $850, on the price list. |
| When they say no | Ask what would make them refuse to perform the procedure. An artist who never refuses is a warning sign. | Pregnancy, breastfeeding, under 18 and isotretinoin are refused at both studios with no exception. The full list is in the contraindications guide, published before you book rather than after. |
| Whether the technique fits you | Ask which technique suits your skin type, and what they would recommend if this one does not. | Strokes hold best on normal to dry skin. On oily skin they tend to blur, and powder or combination work holds better. This is settled at the consultation, in English or Portuguese. |
