What’s the Difference Between Microblading and Hairstroke Eyebrows?

When it comes to eyebrow enhancement, two of the most talked-about techniques are Microblading and the Hairstroke method. While both aim to give you fuller, well-shaped brows, they differ significantly in technique, target audience, results, and longevity.

So, what’s the difference between microblading and Hairstroke eyebrows? Let’s compare.

Side-by-side comparison

Criteria	Microblading (Traditional)	Hairstroke Technique
Purpose	To create defined, visible hair-like strokes	To create ultra-fine, natural-looking brow hairs
Best For	Dry or mildly oily skin types	All skin types, especially oily or sensitive skin
Cost Range	2–5 million VND	3–7 million VND
Tools Used	Hand-held blade tool	Machine with nano needle
Color Retention	Lasts 3–5 years	Lasts 2–4 years
Aesthetic Effect	Bold, sharp strokes, may appear slightly raised	Soft, feather-like finish, barely detectable
Healing Time	Slower, more scabbing	Faster, less scabbing and irritation
Aftercare Level	Strict care to avoid infection and pigment loss	Easier maintenance, fewer restrictions

Which technique should you choose?

1. Prefer bold, long-lasting results?→ Go with Microblading. It’s ideal for shaping brows and making a statement.

2. Want a subtle, real-hair effect?→ Hairstroke is perfect for natural lovers, first-timers, or those who prefer minimal intervention.
