# Brow lamination or microblading?

Atelier Regard practical guide · Updated October 9, 2026

Both treatments make brows look fuller, but they work in completely different ways. The short answer: lamination styles the hair you already have, microblading adds strokes where hair is missing.

## The difference at a glance

Lamination sets your natural brow hairs in a brushed, lifted direction and is paired with a tint at Atelier Regard. Microblading places pigment in fine strokes in the surface of the skin to imitate individual hairs.

| | Brow lamination + tint | Microblading |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Pigment in the skin | No | Yes, semi-permanent |
| Price | $80 | $450 + $100 touch-up ($550 before taxes) |
| Appointment | 30 minutes | 90 minutes |
| Healing period | None | Yes, colour softens as skin heals |
| Fills bare areas | No | Yes |
| Typical duration | Temporary | 6 to 18 months |

## Choose lamination if

You have a reasonable amount of brow hair and want it to look fuller and more groomed, or you want to try a temporary result before deciding on anything semi-permanent.

## Choose microblading if

You have gaps or sparse areas, or you are tired of drawing your brows every morning. Lamination cannot create hair where there is none.

## Other quick brow services

Brow tint + shaping ($35, 30 min) and henna brows ($60, 30 min) are also offered. Henna typically stains the skin for up to two weeks and tints the hairs for up to six weeks.

## Not sure?

The free 30-minute consultation is the place to decide. Yaelle looks at your brow hair and skin and tells you honestly which option fits.
