It’s a nano blade, which in their case means it has a 0.18 diameter, so it gives delicate strokes which are not too thin.

How long does microblading last? When done correctly by a trained professional, microblading should last up to a year, says Diana Menendez, the owner of threading and microblading studio Accentuated in Scottsdale.
