Microshading & Microblading in Pleasant Hill, CA – Natural, Fuller Brows Customized for You
Whether you’re tired of filling in your brows every morning or looking to recover from years of overplucking,
Calix Glow offers advanced brow enhancement services that bring effortless beauty to your everyday life.
Our
microshading and
microblading techniques are ideal for clients who want a natural, semi-permanent solution for fuller, more symmetrical brows. We help you understand which technique is right for your skin type, lifestyle, and desired look.
What Is Microblading?
Microblading is a manual PMU technique where a handheld blade deposits pigment into the skin in
fine, hair-like strokes, mimicking real eyebrow hairs. This is ideal for:
- Clients with normal to dry skin
- Those wanting realistic, individual strokes
- People looking to fill sparse brows with a natural finish
Note: While still in demand, microblading has limitations for oily, sensitive, or mature skin, where pigment may fade faster or blur.
What Is Microshading?
Microshading, often called the "shadow" or "pixel" technique, involves using a digital machine to create a soft, powdery effect—similar to filled-in brows with makeup.
It’s ideal for:
Clients with oily or combination skin
Those who prefer a blended, gradient look
Anyone who wants longer-lasting results with minimal touch-up needs

Our Signature Brow Process
Consultation & Design
We start with brow mapping, shape design, and pigment matching to ensure your brows complement your facial structure and skin tone.
Procedure
- Microblading: Fine strokes are manually etched into the skin.
- Microshading: A digital machine softly blends pigment for a gradient effect.
Both options include numbing for comfort and take 2–3 hours total.
Healing & Touch-Up
Healing typically takes 7–14 days. Color may initially appear darker, then fade into a more natural tone. A touch-up is scheduled 6–8 weeks after your first session to refine pigment and shape.
