What’s the difference between Microblading, Nano Strokes, Powder and Combo Brows?Microblading: This technique involves creating hair-like strokes to mimic natural brow hairs, perfect for those seeking a more subtle, realistic & natural result. Nano Strokes : Nano hair strokes is an advanced brow technique that creates hyper-realistic, hair-like strokes using a digital tattoo machine. Unlike microblading, nano strokes are suitable for all skin types, including oily or sensitive skin, delivering precise, long-lasting, and natural results. When done correctly, this technique ensures minimal trauma to the skin and enables precise application of hair-like strokes that closely mimic the appearance of natural brow hairs. Powder Brows: This is a shading technique that gives a soft powder effect, similar to a subtle makeup look. This technique is ideal for those wanting a defined, filled-in brow or for those who already have full brows but are looking to have them reshaped, restructured & perfectly filled in. Combo Brows: This technique combines Microblading or Nano hair strokes with Ombre shading, offering the best of both worlds to custom create just the right amount of fullness tailored to your preferences.

How do I know which technique is best - suited for me?Before beginning your appointment, we will have a brief consultation where we will discuss your expectations and select the appropriate technique for you; (Microblading, Nano, Duo, Shading), as well as the shape and color that we feel will be best suited for your specific needs Should you choose to book a complimentary consultation before your appointment, we will go over all of those details then. If not, we will determine this during the consultation portion the day of your appointment.

Before beginning all procedures, I use a customized mapping technique and take specific measurements in order to perfectly create a brow that will enhance and complement your features and bone structure.

What is the healing time for these treatments?Healing typically takes about 7-10 days. During the first week, you may experience some minor redness, tenderness, and scabbing.

The full result & true Color will continue to develop, come back to the surface & settle over the next 4-6 weeks upcoming weeks following our initial appointment.

How is the color chosen for my brows?I customize my pigment mixes in order to specifically complement your skin tone, undertone, hair color, and desired outcome.
