BROWS

Microblading

This is the process of infusing pigment into the skin to simulate the appearance of natural hair.
Microblading is meant to be a subtle natural enhancement and to create fuller more beautiful brows. It looks the most natural on clients who already have symmetrical yet full brow hair and are wanting to perfect their shape. The more hair you have the more natural your results will be. Microblading heals best on young, healthy and dry to normal skin types.
Oily, porous, aged or thin skin is not ideal for microblading. The results will not heal as crisp as dry to normal skin types and will not look as natural. If you are in this category, you would be better candidate for a nano or powder brows.

nano

This is the process of tattooing pigment into the skin to simulate the appearance of natural hair strokes.
Nano Brows are meant to be a subtle natural enhancement and meant to create fuller more beautiful brows. Rather than using a hand tool with a blade like with Microblading, Nano brows are done with an electric machine and small needle. This technique is meant to be gentler on the skin and perfect for ALL skin types including oily, porous, sensitive and aging skin types.

Powder

Powder brows are only shading, no strokes, done with a machine to simulate the appearance of a filled in brow. This look is perfect for someone who loves a makeup look or wants to achieve a powdery and pixilated look. This is a beautiful look for people with sparse brows. Recommended for oily, porous, or thin skin types - but this technique is perfect for all skin types and ages, as it heals very soft.

combo

Combo Brows are the process of infusing pigment into the skin first by microblading, then done by machine shading to simulate the appearance of natural-yet filled in brows. This look is my most requested service as most people need at least a little bit of shading added for the most natural results. If you have dense, uneven brows or sparse and thin brows this service is best for you. This is a beautiful look heals best with people who have dry to normal skin type. Every combo brow is customizable to each client depending on their skin type.

While all brow services are considered permanent makeup tattoos, they do fade and a color boost is recommended every 2-3 years or when the pigment is at least 50% faded in order to keep the color and shape precise.

What to expect during the first 2 weeks

Days 1 - 5: Color will appear darker than expected. Mild swelling redness, or thickness may occur. Most redness and swelling will subside within 24 - 72 hours.
