What Microblading Is

Microblading, performed at our Scottsdale studio

Microblading is a cosmetic eyebrow technique that places individual hair-like strokes into the upper layer of the skin to create fuller, more defined brows that heal soft and natural. At Eastside Microblading & Beauty, it is performed at our Scottsdale studio by Amanda Banks, an International Grand Master Permanent Makeup Artist and former AAM Board Member, and by the master artists she has personally trained. The studio’s signature commitment is that nobody can tell you had it done.

Results last 12 to 18 months for most clients. The pigment, depth, and tone are chosen for how your brows will age over the years, not just on healing day. Microblading suits normal-to-dry skin best; if you have oily, mature, or scarred skin, the team will honestly recommend nano brows or powder brows instead during your suitability review call. All pigments pass European safety standards, and most clients rate the discomfort a 2 or 3 out of 10 under topical 4% lidocaine.

The Square menu lists Nano/Powder Brows by artist. For a microblading-specific plan and price, ask for a personal brow recommendation.

Current Square listings checked September 21, 2026. Pricing varies by artist and service. Touch-ups are scheduled and charged separately. Choose your studio to review the service details and deposit before your visit.

Our Process

The Eastside Process for Microblading

Book online or start with a personal recommendation. We review suitability before your visit, then map and approve your brow design together at your appointment.

1

The pre-visit suitability review

You can book online or request a personal recommendation. The studio screens for medical contraindications (pregnancy, autoimmune conditions, recent medications, skin conditions, prior PMU work), discusses your goals, and confirms whether microblading is right for your skin type. If you are a better candidate for nano or powder brows, we recommend that instead.

2

Skin assessment and numbing

At your appointment, the artist evaluates your skin type, brow density, and any prior PMU work. Topical 4% lidocaine is applied. No injectables. The technique is gentle enough that this is all most clients need. Numbing takes about 20 to 30 minutes.

3

Mapping and shape approval

Using symmetry software, your bone structure, and the ratios of your face, the artist draws your ideal brow shape with a pencil. You review and adjust the shape together until it is exactly what you want. No pigment goes in until you approve the shape.

4

Pigment selection

The artist selects pigment colors that blend with your natural brow color, your skin tone, and the way the pigment will fade over time. All pigments at Eastside Microblading & Beauty pass European safety standards. The selection is reviewed with you before application.

5

Hair-stroke application

Using a hand-tool microblade, the artist applies individual hair-like strokes following the shape you approved. Pigment is placed in the upper layer of skin. Most clients rate the discomfort 2 to 3 out of 10. Many fall asleep during the appointment.

6

Post-treatment walkthrough

The artist walks you through your healing kit, aftercare instructions, and what to expect at each healing stage. You leave with everything you need for the next several weeks.

7

Touch-up at 6 to 8 weeks

A perfecting touch-up 6 to 8 weeks after the initial session refines any areas that healed lighter than expected. This touch-up is scheduled and charged separately.

In Short

Microblading for Tempe clients at Eastside Microblading & Beauty is performed at our Scottsdale, AZ studio, about 20 to 30 minutes door to door from Tempe. The studio is led by Amanda Banks, an International Grand Master Permanent Makeup Artist and former AAM Board Member, and has performed 10,000+ treatments. Microblading results last 12 to 18 months for most clients and heal soft, natural, and hair-stroke-believable. You can book online or request a personal recommendation. Before your visit, the team completes a suitability review where every client is screened for medical contraindications and the brow plan is designed together. See current pricing and appointment options in our online booking calendar.

Worth the Drive

Why Tempe clients drive to our Scottsdale studio

Loop 101 / Price FwyLoop 101 / Pima FwyVia Linda

Tempe clients take the Loop 101 north, the Price Freeway transitioning into the Pima Freeway through Scottsdale, exiting at Via Linda, about twenty to thirty minutes; south-Scottsdale arterials like Scottsdale Road and McClintock are the surface alternative. Downtown Tempe and the Mill Avenue district sit near ASU at the city’s north end, while South Tempe is the quieter, family side. Tempe’s beauty market is saturated with student-priced, quick-service shops, so a Tempe client who wants credentialed, long-lasting brow work under a Grand Master artist trades up to Scottsdale on a straight freeway run north.

"I always joke that since you waited to come to us, we have the most experience now"

Most people are nervous about microblading because they have seen the wrong examples. We have all seen somebody who went on a discount site, or went to somebody who had just started, and ended up with a shape that was too bold or a color that turned. We all have a friend whose brows are a little too much.

Eastside Microblading & Beauty is the opposite of that. The Scottsdale studio’s clients are the ones who research the most, who are the pickiest, who want their brows to look like brows, not makeup. The technique is gentle enough that most clients rate the discomfort 2 or 3 out of 10. Many fall asleep during the appointment.

Symmetry is one of the things Eastside is known for. We use symmetry software, your bone structure, and the ratios of your face to map the right balance before a single stroke is placed. When the balance feels right, the whole face feels right. The Scottsdale microblading process is built around your face, not someone else's shape.

The other common worry is how it ages. Eastside Microblading & Beauty thinks about your results in years, not weeks. The pigment, the depth, the saturation, and the technique are all chosen for how they will look in 12 to 18 months, not just on healing day. And if your brows ever heal cooler or lighter than planned, the perfecting touch-up is where we correct it. That is the part most people do not consider, but the studio does.

Travel & Scheduling

Planning your trip from Tempe

The Scottsdale studio blocks extra time for travel-in clients and keeps a closet where Tempe clients leave bags or jackets during the appointment. Microblading first appointments run about three hours, so Tempe clients typically plan to arrive about fifteen minutes early for paperwork. The studio is at 8989 E Via Linda, Suite 107, Scottsdale, AZ 85258, about 20 to 30 minutes door to door from Tempe, with on-site parking.

I was quite nervous about getting my lips blushed — first and foremost because I’m quite particular about aesthetics and I wanted it to look natural, and secondly because I wasn’t sure how intense the pain would be. Zara was incredible and I’m beyond thrilled with the outcome. My lips went from looking a little pallid and pale around the edges to rosy, defined and super natural. Zara explained everything in detail, I totally trusted her expertise and recommendation on pigment shade and the studio is very comfortable and clean. And while yes it was very tingly and at a few points a bit more acute, the pain was really not bad, she eased into it and the time passed quickly. The healing process was super easy, it never got so flaky that I felt weird about how it looked. And I couldn’t be happier with the outcome, it’s so nice to not have to think about wearing lipstick and still feel confident in how my smile looks.

I was curious and skeptical going in because I’m in my late 50’s and honestly asking if could anything help my post menopausal, birthed 4 babies and grew up in diet culture body? A bit of self care with no bday shaming was in order. From the first phone call to my final treatment I was greeted, cared for and educated every step of the way. At my consultation I was thankful to see that parking was free in the well lit parking garage below with lots of parking. The facility is bright, clean and welcoming. The communication via text reminders the day before, to the genuine greeting when I arrived was top notch and spa like. During my consultation I appreciated the free space to ask questions about different cooling to reduce areas of fat methods I had seen advertised in my area and on socials. I was glad my technician explained both things currently available on the market and that they use Cryolipolysus (cryo sculpting). My technician did a non invasive but thorough examination of my abdomen area, my area that seems to stay fluffy no matter my weight. She told me the areas that would have good results and areas that would be a bit harder to see results based on the density. The honesty, guidance and education empowered me to ease my skepticism and start the process of coming in every two weeks for cryo body sculpting. I’ve finished my 10 session package and over the moon with the amazing results n my abdomen and hips areas. No pain, no complications… just results! If you are curious and skeptical like I was, go in for the consultation like I did and see for yourself the quality of educated care you can get at Eastside Micoblading with a cryo session package is professional and top notch care and results!

I had the absolute best experience with Zara at Eastside Microblading! I was blown away by how painless the entire process was. My brows healed incredibly fast without any annoying peeling, and the color stayed perfectly true without changing tones. Zara is truly a master artist who listens to what you want and delivers flawless, natural results. I couldn’t be happier!

I went with a friend for her cryo body sculpting consultation; her experience was so positive that I ended up purchasing my own sculpting package. Our esthetician Justy has been phenomenal: kind, informative and makes the whole process feel like a short spa experience. I can think of nothing but good things to say about Eastside Microblading. Highly recommend this studio!

Zara is AMAZING! Definitely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made to get my brows done here. So happy I got my brows done! I was hesitant at first because I didn’t know what to expect. After chatting with the very friendly ladies who picked up the phone I went for it. It’s worth every penny. I didn’t know how to shape my eyebrows and decided to trust the process. Couldn’t be happier, excited to have found such a great place and people that prioritize comfort and quality.

After years of contemplation, I finally got my eyebrows microbladed. A lot of research later led me to getting them done with Zara and all I can say is I wish I would have done this years ago!! She 👏🏻 is 👏🏻exceptional👏🏻. In both her manner and her work. She really takes the time to understand the result you are after and does not rush your sessions. It’s a friendly, positive experience. And the results are insanely beautiful. So natural, the color and shape perfect. The time saved getting ready in the morning 🤌🏻 *chefs kiss*. In years to come, I will be seeking her out for my touch ups! Super happy I got it done

When I decided to get into the beauty business, inspired by my own Microblading experience as a customer, I did a thorough search for potential trainers and schools. I went through plenty of prospective trainers, but it was Amanda and Beauty Angels that stood out to me. Beyond Amanda's obvious winning personality and positive attitude, the details of the Beauty Angels Academy intrigued me. While a lot of Microblading schools and trainers offered a few days of instruction and then left you to sink or swim, only Amanda and Beauty Angels offered 20 levels of curriculum through online training, which can take up to 6 months, in addition to the live training. At first I was a bit hesitant because I was impatient to get my business up and running and getting certified in a few days seemed pretty enticing! But the more I researched the Beauty Angels training and the more I researched Amanda on Facebook, Google, and Instagram (my inner spy... or stalker!), I became more and more convinced that she was the right trainer for me. I read every review she's ever gotten in her life (ok... maybe not!) and that, along with the success of her former students, sealed it for me. And I was not disappointed! Once I attended her Microblading course in March, I knew for sure I had made the right decision. Amanda is so calm and thorough in her explanations. She breaks everything down so that you can absorb it. But she's no pushover and is not going to pass you unless you produce good work. For example, for the very first level of the online training, I had to hand-draw a pair of brows. I submitted my first attempt: rejected. I submitted my second attempt: rejected. I took a deep breath, took Amanda's advice from each rejection to heart and finally passed on my third attempt! I have little doubt that a lot of other trainers wouldn't have been so firm in holding their standards but Amanda will draw the best out of you whether you like it or not! But it wasn't all just criticism. Whenever I submitted work, Amanda would be sure to tell me what I did RIGHT in addition to pointing out where I could do better. It was those bits of praise that helped keep my confidence up when I wasn't sure I could do it. Another great thing about Amanda is that she's always just a text away, as she will respond to any of your questions even on the weekends or when she's on vacation. That's dedication right there! I ended up passing my online training in June and opened up my own Microblading business soon after. Even after I officially graduated the course, Amanda still made herself available to answer questions and has been very helpful with little tidbits of knowledge, like what ink colors/mixes to use on various clients' skin colors or advice on business procedures (which is all new to me! I've never run a business before!). She is a person with a heart of gold and is very geniune about wanting to help others. I know she could make more money just performing Microblading instead of instructing others but she enjoys giving back and helping others make the journey she has made to the top of the mountain. I'm still not there, but I am so happy I have had Amanda guiding me along the way and I know I'll get there one day!

Honestly Amanda is just overall an amazing human being. I took my microblading/shading online/live course with her and I’m so thankful to have found this academy and also for someone like her to be so close to where I live and be able to learn from the best master trainer! She’s so supportive and motivational! I love learning from her so much that I recommended all my friends that are thinking about taking a microblading course to come to her! I’m also going to be returning for 3 more courses and not going anywhere else! She’s the best at what she does whether it’s microblading people or being a master trainer! She knows her stuff and isn’t afraid to share all the information she has learned throughout the years with her students! Thank you being so amazing Amanda! ❤️

I highly recommend the Beauty Angels Advanced Microblading and Shading course from Amanda! My upper strokes were a hot mess before I took the class. She worked with me and gave me great constructive criticism. Now my upper strokes are beautiful. Don’t expect to pass every level with your first submission, listen to the instructions given to you and apply it to future submissions. Amanda is a great instructor and your work will be far superior when you finish compared to when you started.

Common Questions

Microblading for Tempe FAQ

How long does microblading last?+

Microblading at Eastside Microblading & Beauty lasts 12 to 18 months for most clients. Pigment is placed in the upper layer of skin and fades gradually, so the studio recommends easy maintenance appointments every 1–4 years. Your exact timeline depends on your skin type, sun exposure, and lifestyle.

Does microblading hurt?+

Most clients rate the discomfort 2 or 3 out of 10. The technique is gentle enough that the studio uses topical 4% lidocaine only, with no injectables, and many clients fall asleep during the appointment.

How far is the Scottsdale studio from Tempe?+

The Eastside Microblading & Beauty Scottsdale studio is at 8989 E Via Linda, Suite 107, Scottsdale, AZ 85258, about 20 to 30 minutes door to door from Tempe via Loop 101 / Price Fwy, Loop 101 / Pima Fwy, and Via Linda. On-site parking is available.
