Microblading for Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz is over the hill on 17. If you surf, swim or spend weekends at the beach, waterproof brows and lips are the draw. The trade-off is about two weeks out of the water while you heal.
Getting here from Santa Cruz
CA-17 over the Santa Cruz Mountains.
CA-17 is slow on summer weekends and can close in winter storms. Midweek is the calmest drive. Arriving 15 minutes late cancels the appointment, so leave margin.
Whether you’re in Westside, Seabright, Live Oak, Capitola or Aptos, the studio at 900 S Winchester Blvd, Suite 9, San José, is about 28 miles, roughly 40 minutes without traffic from central Santa Cruz.
Healing in Santa Cruz
Salt water and fresh pigment don’t mix. Plan about two weeks out of the ocean, pools and hot tubs, which for many people here means booking around surf season.

Two: the full appointment, then a touch-up six to eight weeks later once you’ve healed. After that, a colour refresh every year or two.
