When it comes to achieving the perfect brows, there are countless options — from quick tinting treatments to more long-lasting solutions like microblading. As your trusted brow specialist, I’m here to break down the real costs, the benefits, and why so many of my clients ultimately choose microblading for long-lasting, beautifully defined brows.
The Cost of Regular Eyebrow Tinting
Eyebrow tinting is a popular choice for clients who want a fast, affordable boost of colour. But how much does tinting really cost over time? Let’s take a closer look.
Average Cost per Tint:
£20 per session
How Often It’s Needed:
Every 4 weeks
Total Appointments Per Year:
12
Total Annual Cost:
12 × £20 = £240 per year
While eyebrow tinting seems budget-friendly up front, the costs and time commitment increase over the years. Monthly appointments add up — both financially and in terms of the time you spend in the salon.
Microblading: The Long-Lasting Results
Now let’s compare that to a microblading service. For just £360, you get beautifully shaped, natural-looking brows that last 1–2 years with minimal upkeep.

Why Microblading Is an Incredible Value
1. Long-Lasting Results
Microblading creates semi-permanent hair-like strokes that stay crisp and defined far longer than a tint. No more 4-week maintenance appointments — meaning huge time and money savings over the long term.
2. Flawless Shape & Definition
Tinting only adds colour, but microblading adds shape. I custom-design each set of brows to perfectly complement your facial features. My clients love how microblading enhances their natural beauty and gives them a polished, balanced look that lasts.
3. Minimal Touch-Ups
After your initial session, you may need a small touch-up at around 6 weeks. Beyond that, maintenance is only needed every 1–2 years. Touch-ups cost far less than regular tinting, and you won’t need monthly visits anymore.
4. More Convenience, Less Hassle
With microbladed brows, you can ditch brow products, stop worrying about smudging or fading, and wake up every morning with flawless brows — ready for work, the gym, or a weekend out.
