How Much Does Microblading Cost in Canada? (2026 Price Guide)

Based on publicly advertised prices collected from 30 independent Canadian businesses across 8 provinces in October 2026, initial microblading appointment prices in Canada range from $450 to $595, with a national median of $495. The middle 50% of providers charge between $475 and $525.

This guide uses the initial microblading appointment as its primary price benchmark. Touch-up and colour-refresh prices are shown separately where sampled price lists document them. Brow lamination, brow tinting, eyebrow waxing and threading are separate service categories with separate pricing.

Canada price overview: what does microblading cost in 2026?

These are pre-tax advertised prices for the initial appointment only. The 6 to 8 week perfecting touch-up is a separate cost at most Canadian providers — see the section on price factors below.

What the initial appointment price means

The initial microblading benchmark covers the first appointment price only. It does not automatically include a separately listed follow-up. Menu structures vary, so compare like with like and confirm whether a quote covers the initial appointment alone or a package.

In the sample, over 70% of Canadian PMU artists bill the touch-up separately at $100 to $175. Roughly 30% bundle it into an all-inclusive initial fee of $650 to $850.

Price by service variation and modality

Provincial cost comparison across Canada

Notes on the table:

• All provincial samples for this topic are limited. With a national sample of 30 businesses, no province reaches the sufficient threshold. Treat all provincial figures as directional.
• British Columbia and Ontario record the highest medians ($537.50 each), driven by Vancouver and Toronto market rates.
• New Brunswick ($462.50 median) and Manitoba ($475 median) sit closest to the national floor.

Major Canadian city price comparison

Notes on the table:

• All city-level samples are limited. Toronto and Vancouver each have 3 observations and show identical medians of $550.
• New Brunswick cities cluster between $450 and $495, consistent with the broader NB market positioning in this dataset.
• Single-observation cities represent one confirmed advertised price. No range interpretation should be applied to those figures.

New Brunswick pricing spotlight

New Brunswick contributes 6 providers to this research — a limited provincial sample. Results should be read as directional rather than statistically robust benchmarks.

Fredericton

Two providers sampled. Range $450 to $475, median $462.50. Among the most affordable microblading markets observed in this research.

Moncton and Dieppe

Three providers sampled. Range $450 to $495, median $480. Moncton tracks slightly above Fredericton, with some providers approaching the lower end of the national middle range.

Saint John

One provider sampled. Advertised price: $450. A single data point — this figure should be used only as a reference, not a market benchmark.

What actually drives the cost of microblading in Canada?

The 6 to 8 week touch-up fee structure. Radford Beauty Yorkville lists an initial appointment at $520 and an all-inclusive initial-plus-touch-up option at $680, a $160 difference. Across the sample, over 70% of Canadian PMU artists bill the touch-up separately, typically $100 to $175; roughly 30% list an all-inclusive initial fee of $650 to $850. Confirm the touch-up pricing structure before booking.

Annual colour boost versus new installation. Prép Beauty Parlour’s menu shows annual refresh appointments at $260 — roughly half the $550 initial appointment cost. Existing clients returning within 12 to 18 months typically receive colour refresh rates at approximately 50% of the initial appointment cost.

Hybrid or combo brows (microblading plus machine shading). Brow Theory Edmonton’s menu shows standard microblading at $495 and a hybrid combo brows appointment at $565 — a verified $70 difference. The sample records a $50 to $90 add-on range for machine shading in this service variant.

Initial and follow-up prices

The initial appointment is the article’s primary pricing unit. The sample also records these possible charges and price structures:

• Perfecting touch-up: $100 to $175 when billed separately by most sampled artists.
• Hybrid or combo brow shading: a distinct service variant with a documented $50 to $90 add-on range.
• Returning-client colour refresh: listed separately from an initial appointment.
• Applicable provincial sales tax and gratuity: confirm the final total with the provider.

Follow-up and refresh pricing in the sample

The source records a 6 to 8 week perfecting touch-up fee structure. More than 70% of sampled Canadian PMU artists bill this follow-up separately at $100 to $175; roughly 30% list an all-inclusive initial fee of $650 to $850.

For returning clients, Prép Beauty Parlour’s menu lists a $260 annual colour refresh against a $550 initial appointment. The sample describes refresh pricing for clients returning within 12 to 18 months as roughly 50% of the initial appointment cost.

Booking smart: questions to ask your Canadian provider beforehand

• Is the 6 to 8 week touch-up included in the advertised price, or is it billed separately?
• What is the touch-up fee if it is not included?
• Do you offer hybrid or combo brows (microblading plus machine shading), and what is the price difference?
• What is the annual colour refresh rate for returning clients?
