PERFECT FRAME® by jonathan paul

a Perfect Frame for @janetjackson 👑 brows refreshed by me. Glam by @prestonmakeup

So cool seeing my work on @evalongoria for her latest @byrdie shoot. If you zoom in, you’ll catch a glimpse of the strokes nestled right behind the makeup—adding texture and structure without overpowering the look. Cosmetic tattooing was never meant to replace makeup, it’s meant to enhance it. Last slide is a little throwback to her fresh brows before glam stepped in. #microblading #microbladinglosangeles #microbladebrows #microbladingeyebrows #bestmicroblading #perfectframemicroblading #nycmicroblading #nanobrows

today was july booking day and we somehow only have a couple spots left already 🫨😬 genuinely thank you guys. every month i’m a little shocked by the speed and support. i’ll also be taking a little time off soon for a much needed vacation/reset, so availability is a bit tighter than usual right now. i may end up opening a few select saturdays to help accommodate more people, but for now i’d definitely recommend solidifying an appointment while spots are still available. as always, thank you to everyone who continues to trust me with their face, refer their friends/family, travel in, and keep me busy year after year. i really do appreciate it.

just a little booking update + a genuine thank you to everyone keeping me busy lately. i’m currently fully booked through the second week of july. i know a lot of my returning clients/touch ups tend to plan around summer schedules, travel, weddings, events, etc. so if you’re an existing client needing a refresh, i highly recommend messaging sooner rather than later so we can try to secure a july spot before i open the remainder of the schedule to new clients on the 15th. if you’re hoping for something sooner, i can also add you to the cancellation/waitlist for any last minute openings that come up. really grateful for the continued trust, referrals, and all of the familiar faces i get to see year after year. it means a lot and i don’t take it lightly.

i haven’t been as active on here lately, which feels strange to say because behind the scenes i’ve been incredibly busy. for a long time i’ve tied a lot of my sense of progress to how consistent i am on social, how often i’m posting, how present i feel on here. so when that slows down, it can feel like i’m not doing enough or not showing up the way i should be. but then i look at what’s actually happening day to day. my books are full, most of my clients come through referrals, and so many of you i’ve been seeing for years now. and it really just brings me back to how grateful i am. the support, the trust, the loyalty… it doesn’t go unnoticed. social media is one version of things, but it’s not the whole picture. so if you’ve ever sat in my chair, sent someone my way, or continue to come back to me, thank you. it means a lot more than i probably say on here.

If you are trying to decide between nano and microblading, you are probably asking the wrong question. It is not about which one looks better the day of your appointment. It is about how you want your brows to heal, age, and live on your face over time. This is not just a technical difference. It should directly influence what you choose. Most people pick a service based on what looks best in photos, but what you should really be thinking about is how you want your brows to exist on your face long term. Nano and microblading heal differently, age differently, and require different levels of commitment. Nano softens more over time, giving you that airy, diffused finish that feels lighter and more flexible as your preferences evolve. Microblading holds more structure and saturation, which creates a more defined and consistent look as it heals and settles. Neither is better, they just create different outcomes. The real question is not which one looks better today, but how much structure you want to live with every day, how soft you want your brows to feel over time, and how often you are willing to maintain them. Your answers to those questions should guide the technique, the color, and the overall approach, because this is not just a one day result, it is a long term relationship with your brows.

A quick update for anyone planning ahead. May is almost fully booked and availability is very limited. I will be in New York from April 29th to May 1st for a short pop up. That schedule is already full, but I am planning to return in September. If you are unsure what to book, there is now an “artist’s choice” option. This allows me to allocate the proper time and choose the technique that will give you the best result. For anyone with existing or old pigment, including previous work done by me, there are some great options available. Send me a DM and I can guide you in the right direction.

This client drove all the way from Arizona to see me and I don’t take that lightly. I have a lot of clients who travel in from out of state and it means a lot that you trust me enough to make a trip out of it. I know it takes planning, time, and intention, so I always try to make the experience as seamless and worth it as possible. If you’re coming in from out of state, here are a few things to keep in mind: Plan to stay at least a day or two after your appointment if you can. It gives your skin time to settle and allows us to address anything in person if needed. Come in with your brows grown out as much as possible. The more natural hair I have to work with, the better I can build something that actually belongs to you. Avoid scheduling anything intense right after. Give yourself a little space to heal and relax. And most importantly, trust the process. The goal is always something that feels natural, balanced, and truly yours. For those of you who travel to see me, I appreciate you more than you know.

A lot of you have been asking what a nano and microblading combination actually looks like once it’s healed, so here is a perfect example. The reason I combine both techniques is simple. I am not trying to create a flat tattoo. I am trying to create dimension. Microblading gives me structure and spacing. Those strokes sit slightly deeper and hold their presence over time, which creates the foundation of the brow. On its own, it can sometimes read a bit uniform if everything heals at the same saturation. This is where nano comes in. The nano strokes are placed in between the microbladed strokes, sitting a bit more superficially in the skin. Over time, they soften and diffuse faster, which creates a natural variation in saturation. Some strokes stay more defined, others fade slightly into the background. That difference is what creates the forward and back effect. The brow no longer reads as one flat layer. It has depth, movement, and a more believable texture. It also allows me to keep proper spacing. Instead of overpacking the brow for immediate fullness, I can build density in a way that ages well. The microblading holds the structure long term, while the nano fills in just enough to create fullness without sacrificing longevity. The goal is always the same. Brows that look dimensional, soft, and real even after they are fully healed.

Most people think aging shows up in the skin first. It doesn’t. It shows up in the brows. Over time, brow hair thins, the tail starts to disappear, and the overall structure softens. When that framework fades, the entire eye area can begin to look tired or less defined, even if the skin itself is healthy. This is why restoring the brow is one of the most powerful ways to bring balance back to the face. In this case, the goal was not to create a dramatic change. It was to restore the architecture that time slowly softened. We rebuilt the shape, reinforced the tail, and added soft density where natural growth had faded. The result lifts the eye area, frames the face again, and brings back the kind of definition that reads as youthful without looking artificial. Great brow work is rarely about adding more. It is about restoring what once naturally existed. Sometimes the smallest details make the biggest difference.
