• Enjoy your new brows and check in routinely to see if a touch up is needed.

CONSULTATION

Your session begins with a brow mapping and shaping process to design the ideal eyebrow shape that complements your unique facial structure. This can take anywhere from 20-60 mins. We have to make sure the shape is perfect before we make them permanent! After that, we custom-blend a pigment mix tailored to your preferences and designed for long-lasting, natural-looking results.

PROCEDURE

The actual tattooing process typically takes between 1 to 2.5 hours. To ensure maximum comfort, a numbing agent is applied throughout the procedure. We recommend keeping your schedule flexible after your appointment, as the session may run slightly longer than expected.

AFTERCARE

After the procedure, we’ll walk you through detailed aftercare instructions and provide you with an aftercare kit to support optimal healing.

What is the difference between Microblading and Ombre Powder Brows?

Microblading is done by using a hand tool (not a machine) to deposit pigment into the epidermis to create hairline strokes. Ombre powder utilizes a hand held machine to fill in the brows - using pixelation (little dots) to create soft edges around the brows verses solid block brows. Ombre powder brows is suited for all types of skin. We do not offer microblading services.

What is Nano Combo Brows?

Combo brows are characterized by feathered hair strokes from the beginning to the middle and then transition to a powdered finish toward the tails.

Recommended for DRY-NORMAL skin. Must have fullness in front of brow.

What are the benefits of permanent cosmetics for the brows?

• Brows will appear more symmetrical

• May eliminate the daily use of pencils to fill in brows

• Smudge proof and water proof

• Saves time and money!

How long does it last?

Ombre Powder Brows/Nano Combo Brows are forms of permanent cosmetic tattooing. The pigment will remain in your skin forever, but will fade over time. We recommend getting a touch up every 1-3 years.

Please note: Final results cannot be guaranteed as each unique skin type will hold pigments differently and break down at different rates.

Does it hurt?

Most clients report little to no pain, and would compare it to a tweezing or threading session. Many clients even fall asleep! Topical anesthetic is applied during the procedure so the client can feel at ease while receiving the treatment.

How long is the procedure?

A session can take 2-3 hours between consultation, mapping, numbing, tattoo process, and photos.

How long does it take to heal?

The projected healing process is 10-14 days. This healing process is unique to the individual as there are many factors that slow or speed up the process: pre-care, aftercare, skin type, lifestyle, etc.

Your brows will be the darkest the first few days as the ink oxidizes and your brows are preparing to scab. As your scabs begin to fall off, it may fall off in small bits which is completely normal!

When the scab falls off, the pigment will appear to be light (almost like you’re missing pigment). This part is still normal! Think of when you fall and scrap your knee. When the scab falls off, the area looks very light in comparison to your natural skin. This is because the skin takes about 27 days to regenerate itself. Once it completes it’s cycle, the true color will resurface.

Do I need a touch up? Is it included?

If it is for a new set, the initial touch up (6-8 weeks out) is recommended but it isn’t required. If you are happy with the color and shape as it is, you don’t need to come back right away. Most people do come back to go: bolder, thicker, and/or minor adjustments.

It is not included In the pricing. Please see link for updated pricing:
