One and Done: Which Microblades Do I Need?

If you’re a newer artist that was trained to use multiple microblades for one procedure, this tip is going to be a game-changer for you.

We’ve had so many new artists reach out to us saying they’ve been trained to use multiple blades for one procedure either because:

1) The needles start to dull out.

2) They need multiple needles to create various parts of the brows.

Not only can this be very costly for artists just starting out, but could end up making your work inconsistent. If you work with the right tools, they will perform consistently, save you time and money, and most importantly, give your clients the best results.

With Tina Davies blades, you can find the perfect needle to suit your design goal and you'll only need one. Our needles are made of the highest surgical-grade stainless steel and are chosen for their pristine quality and sharpness. Due to this, you will never need more than one microblade to create the hair strokes you desire or worry about one going dull during a procedure. Keep reading to find out more about each needle and what eyebrow styles they’re designed for. As always, you will need to watch your pressure and adjust it accordingly throughout the procedure so as not to cut the skin too deeply.

A Guide to Tina Davies Blades:

9 Classic:

For thinner/narrower brow designs. The tip is small and pointed, allowing the most control and precision.

14 Curved:

For thicker, wispier brows to give you the coverage you need without sacrificing speed. Work off the midsection of this needle for perfect, crisp strokes.

U Needle:

Allows you to easily turn your wrist to make those curvy strokes. Always work off the outer edges of this needle (as opposed to the centre) for the easiest turns.

19 Shader:

Use the 19 Shader for more depth and saturation through the middle of the brow, while keeping crisp, fluffy hair strokes on the edges. This is an advanced tool, recommended for experienced artists.
