Frequently asked questions
Microblading: This technique involves creating individual hair-like strokes with a fine needle depositing pigment into the skin in order to mimic natural brow hairs, perfect for those seeking a subtle and natural result. Disclaimer: This technique is not suitable for all skin types.
Nano Hair Strokes : This is an advanced hair stroke technique that is achieved through the use of a digital machine and an ultra-fine liner needle. Unlike microblading, nano strokes are suitable for all skin types, including oily, mature and/or compromised skin types, delivering detailed, lasting, hyper-realistic results. When done correctly, this technique ensures minimal trauma to the skin and enables a 3 dimensional application of hair-like strokes which can achieve results that seamlessly replicate the appearance of natural brow hairs.
Powder Brows: This is a shading technique that gives a soft, pixelated and more polished - powdered effect. The result resembles a filled in brow with make up. This technique is ideal for those wanting a more defined, shape, filled-in brow or for those who are looking to fill in any sparse areas or gaps and are looking to have their brows reshaped and restructured.
Combo Brows: This technique combines Microblading or Nano hair strokes with the Powder Brows shading, offering the best of both worlds to custom create just the right amount of fullness and hairs strokes tailored to your preferences.
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. The selected method can depend on but is not limited to your desired look, skin type, lifestyle, expectations and natural brow shape.
Before beginning all procedures, I use a customized mapping technique and take specific measurements in order to perfectly design and create a brow that will enhance and complement your features and bone structure.
Before we begin, you will get to see the pre-drawn shape so any needed adjustments according to your preference may be taken care.
Healing typically takes about 7-10 days. During the first week, you may experience some minor redness, tenderness, and scabbing. By the second week, the brows will soften, and any remaining scabs will discretely fall off (if any) -- revealing a very pale version of the final color. The full result and true color will continue to develop, come back to the surface and settle over the next 6 upcoming weeks following our initial appointment.
All chosen pigment is fully customized in order to specifically complement your skin tone, undertone, hair color, and desired outcome. Using only high-quality pigments, shades can be mixed in order to achieve a shade that is unique to you.
We will also discuss and go over this prior to beginning to ensure it aligns with your preferences.

The brows may appear darker and bolder for the first few days. Minor scabbing or flaking may occur as the skin heals. Within 7-10 days, the brows will soften to reveal a pale version of the color and shape.
The color will continue to deepen & develop over the next 6 upcoming weeks following our initial appointment.
When applied correctly and with proper theoretic knowledge concerning the nature of our pigments, pigments will only soften and naturally fade over time revealing a softer, less saturated version of the original result, the speed and pace of this taking place will depend on your skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, age and metabolism.
Yearly or bi-yearly touch-ups are required to maintain the desired shape and shade.
