Brow Techniques

Microblading is a form of permanent makeup where a small blade is used to create fine lines in the skin to mimic hair strokes. 

Microblading is intended to be a natural enhancement and to create the appearance of full, beautiful brows. It looks most natural on clients who have full brow hair and are wanting to add natural looking fullness. The more fine hair you have, the more natural it will appear. This is not  ideal  for those with little natural hair, hair that is patchy, or coarse hair. 

Microblading heals best on young, normal/dry skin. Those with combination/oily or aging skin are not candidates for microblading and are better suited for combination or powder brows. 

Many clients assume microblading is the only way to achieve “natural” results. However, unless a client is an ideal candidate, microblading can look more unnatural than something like a combo or powder brow. If you do not fit the above description of an ideal microblading candidate, you may be a better fit for a combo or powder brow!

It is also important to note that microblading, over time, can blur together. While initially, the strokes may look crisp and thin, if you have oily skin, aging skin, are in the sun frequently, or for other reasons, the strokes will blur together. 

Unlike microblading or a combination brow, a powder brow (also known as an ombre brow) has no hair strokes and is made up entirely of machine shading.  When doing a powder brow, a single needle tattoo machine implants small dots of pigment below the skin. These dots are layered on top of each other until the desired amount of saturation is achieved. We can do a very soft amount of shading with no harsh edges for an soft natural look, or layer shading  for a more defined, fill-in look! Powder brows can be completely customized to fit the client’s preferences. 

A powder brow can be just as natural as microblading, especially f you have large pores and oily skin. This technique will give you the best long-lasting results. Powder brows look intense at first but heal to a soft full brow!

A combination brow combines microblading strokes with machine shading. Like microblading, results typically last several years depending on your skin type. 

If you have naturally sparse brow hair or uneven brow growth, a combination brow is perfect for you! Soft shading blends out any unevenness in the growth and can give a more 3D result. It is also ideal for those looking for a more defined or filled-in brow. We can add as much or as little shading to give a variety of different looks!

This is a beautiful look for all skin types (including oily/aging skin) and heals very soft and beautiful. 

If you are unsure of what service to book, a combination brow is the safest choice!
