Has anyone had either and would recommend? I can't decide which to get!

I've had microblading and love it! It can be time consuming so keep that in mind.
Had an initial consultation, first actual appointment took over 4 hours....first couple of hours was getting the outline of the shape correct and colour matching, took another 2 hours to tattoo. Wasn't too painful, more annoying like a constant scratch.
Had to keep them completely dry for the next week so washed my hair in the sink!!
Went back after 6 weeks for touch up, this appointment was shorter, maybe 2 hours. Another week of dry brows and voila!
Its expensive* but worth the money. I don't need to do anything to them other than the usual wax.
*it should be, I would hesitate going anywhere that does them cheaply.

@Figgyboa what would you advise to be a good price?

@Tiny182, I'm the US so probably not much help price wise. I paid $600, looking at UK prices, i would think around £350-£400.
Initial consult should be free and follow up appointment/touch up should be included.

If you have an oily t-zone go for powder. Microblading should not be done on Poly skin. It won’t hold.

I had microblading done which looked incredibly natural. However after a year the pigment started to have a reddish tone before fading completely by 2 years. I didn’t have it redone as I was worried about scarring by going over the old lines.
