BROWS

Effortless , Consistent , Beautiful Brows with Permanent Makeup

Healing Process

Here's what you can expect during the healing process:

DAY 1-2

During the initial days, your eyebrows will appear 20-40% darker, bolder, and more solid than the final healed outcome. This is due to the redness of the skin beneath the pigment and the pigment being deposited into a layer of skin containing dead skin cells, which together create the appearance of a darker color. Minimal swelling might be present.

DAY 3

Between days 3 and 5, the top layers of skin start to shed, leading to a loss of color. You may experience itching in your eyebrows, and the pigment might seem slightly raised. Color loss will be noticeable where scabs come off.

DAY 4-14

At this stage, the skin undergoes rapid exfoliation. If left undisturbed, it will shed evenly. The color beneath the exfoliating skin will appear light until the epidermis assumes a more transparent quality.

DAY 30-40

After a full cycle of cellular regeneration, it's time to evaluate your brows. The tattoo has become part of the dermis and is visible through the epidermis. Keep in mind that each individual is different, and this timeline is an approximation that may vary from person to person.

Upon leaving the appointment, your eyebrows will be in good shape, and we will do our best to help you heal correctly. Factors such as your lifestyle choices, age, genetics, and skin type will influence pigment retention. If you engage in activities that may cause fading, such as sunbathing, using sunbeds, not using sun protection, smoking, or applying anti-aging creams or acidic cleansers, you may need more frequent touch-ups.

Cosmetic tattooing is an art rather than a science, so results may vary. You may still need to use eyebrow makeup, particularly when wearing heavy coverage makeup. This treatment is low maintenance, not no maintenance. While achieving perfect symmetry is the goal, it is not guaranteed or 100% perfect, as no two sides of the face are identical or perfectly symmetrical.

Powder Brow

Powder brows is a technique in permanent makeup that involves using a tattoo machine to create a polished and structured appearance for eyebrows. This technique provides a filled-in makeup look and comes in multiple styles such as natural, dramatic, and ombre brows.

Compared to other techniques, powder brows are considered less traumatic and offer better longevity and color saturation, making it an excellent choice for those seeking long-lasting results. If you're looking to achieve a bolder look, the color can be made more saturated.

Overall, powder brows are a great option for those interested in permanent makeup, and if you're looking for a specific style, such as ombre brows, this technique can deliver outstanding results.

Hairstroke Brow

Nano brows, also known as nano hairstrokes, is a form of permanent makeup that uses a tattoo machine to create natural-looking faux hairs for the eyebrows. It offers a less invasive alternative to manual microblading hairstrokes, resulting in better retention and more even pigment distribution. However, this technique requires a high level of skill and experience, and only the most precise and experienced PMU artists offer this service. If you're interested in nano brows, it's crucial to find a skilled artist to achieve the best results possible.

Combo Brow

Combination brows are a fusion of microbladed hairstrokes or machine nanostrokes + machine powder shading all into one technique. This technique is the most versatile technique. It can be considered the most natural, hyper-realistic look as well as the most dramatic, most defined, look—depending on the style you choose. Faux hairstrokes and shading is utilized to cohesively blend the texture and appearance of your existing, natural hair into your faux hairstrokes and new shape. Combination brows is the only technique that allows you to have a natural, yet defined structured finish with hairstrokes.

  • Nano Hair Stroke ( machine hair stroke)

    • This method involves using a very fine needle to create small, hair-like strokes that mimic the appearance of natural eyebrow hairs.

    • It offers a more natural-looking result, as it closely imitates the individual hair strands.

    • This technique is ideal for people with sparse brows or those who want to create a more defined shape without looking overly made-up.

    • Unlike Microblading, Machine Nano Hairstroke works with all skin type.

    Powder Brows:

    • This method uses a small, round needle to create a soft, powdery makeup effect by implanting pigment in a dot-like pattern.

    • It results in a more filled-in, makeup-like appearance, similar to how eyebrows look when filled in with a brow pencil or powder.

    • This technique is ideal for people with very sparse or no eyebrow hair, or those who prefer a more made-up, yet still soft look.

    • Powder brows generally work well with all skin types, including oily skin.

  • Touch up is a follow up procedure which takes place a minimum six weeks after your initial visit, after your skin is fully healed. How much work you will need on a touch up will depend on several factors such as:
    Your desired results
    Your body’s healing capabilities, and ability to retain pigment
    Your dedication to following post procedure instructions

    Regular Rate for 1st Touchup $150
