EYEBROWS - PERMANENT & SEMI PERMANENT

Hair strokes & Shading (manual method)

If you want to achieve defined eyebrows that look totally natural, then this semi permanent technique is it!

This technique involves using a small blade to create tiny, hair-like strokes in the skin that mimic the look of real eyebrow hairs. The process is incredibly precise and can be tailored to suit your individual face shape and desired eyebrow style. The result is a set of beautiful, symmetrical eyebrows that perfectly frame your face and enhance your natural features.

But wait, it gets even better! Shading is another technique that can be used in conjunction with microblading to give your eyebrows even more depth and dimension by carefully layering different shades of pigment in-between the  micro bladed strokes. Our certified skilled artist's can create a truly stunning and realistic look best suited for you. 

Whether you want to fill in sparse areas, create a bold, dramatic look, or just enhance what you already have, microblading and shading are the perfect solution. This option is best suited for normal to dry skin types. Not ideal for oily skin types. 

COLOR REFRESH  - 6 months to 1.5 years after

This technique involves using a machine shading method to create a gradient effect that goes from light to dark horizontally. The result is a set of eyebrows that look totally natural, with soft edges in the beginning of the eyebrow and a beautiful depth towards the tail ends. Ombre eyebrows are perfect if you want a subtle, sophisticated look which can also be customized to your desired boldness or a softer looking eyebrow. All in all, this technique is at the top of the list in popularity and lasts longer too!

COLOR REFRESH  -  1 - 3 years

This technique involves using a machine shading method to create a soft, powdery effect on your eyebrows that gives them a natural but bold look consistently through the eyebrow. The technique can be customized as a  gorgeous gradient of color flowing darkest to lightest vertically providing stronger definition on the lower part of the eyebrow going lighter towards the top of the eyebrow.  The result is a set of brows that look like they're airbrushed on and similar to you applying eyebrow powder. Powdered eyebrows are perfect for those who are used to wearing eyebrow powder or simply want to have a more statement brow that truly allows the eyes to stand out. 

Whether you're into the subtle sophistication of Ombre brows or the defined statement of Powdered brows, one thing's for sure: these techniques are an absolute game-changer when it comes to getting your eyebrows done. These options are best suited for all skin types.

Nano eyebrows is a cutting edge semi-permanent technique that uses the tiniest of needles to create ultra-fine, natural-looking hair strokes on your eyebrows. The process is so precise that we can create the look of individual eyebrow hairs that blend seamlessly with your natural brows, giving you the most flawless, natural-looking results possible.

This incredible technique is perfect if you want to have more definition of course but ideal for gaps to blend in with your existing eyebrow hairs.  If you have sparse or uneven brows that need some extra help we can add Nano strokes though out eyebrows that look like they were grown that way, with an amazing level of detail and artistry, we can build that brow to what they once were.

One of the best things about Nano eyebrows is that the results are longer-lasting.  Plus, the process is much gentler on the skin than traditional microblading, making it a great option for people with sensitive skin.

COLOR REFRESH  -  1 - 3 years

In this technique we give your eyebrows the best of both worlds: Hair strokes and anyone of our shading styles such as Ombre or powdered combined. Its a marriage that really works to build the most realistic eyebrow.

It's a perfect balance between precision and softness, giving you the most beautiful and realistic brows.  You get the individual hair-like strokes of microblading or Nano strokes that create a defined shape and add volume, while also getting the soft shading effect that creates depth and dimension, making your brows look like they're naturally thick and full all the while giving a more polished shape. 

It's great for people with sparse or thin brows or none at all, as the shading effect can help fill in any gaps and create a more uniform look. Great for all skin types.

Immediately after any treatment you should expect the area to look 40-50% darker than the color you have chosen in consultation. This will start to fade after 5-7 days. Please refer to FAQ tab for more detailed information.

1 - 5 years after A refresh is the session that will take place after you have had your first 2 sessions treatments. It is needed to maintain the color and shape & definition so the treated area looks it's best. The shape and color can fade and breakdown overtime. The refresh treatment timeframe is different for each individual.

6 to 12 weeks after initial session

A second appointment is required after your first treatment. This is usually a 1.5 hour appointment to add more details and pigment to the brow area. This is because as the area is healing, some parts may not ‘hold’ as well as others and you may have a few patches that need more color. This is completely normal and everyone heals differently. Whatever the case, It is required to always come in for the retouch or the treatment is not deemed complete.

Pre/Post Procedure Information, Advice & Care.

Permanent , Semi-Permanent & Medical micropigmentation are all procedures that normally require multiple sessions. All enhancements are considered multi session treatments. They are low maintenance vs no maintenance. For best results, clients are required to return for one retouch treatment within the 90 days of initial treatment. An initial application is incomplete until a follow-up appointment is complete which must be scheduled approximately 6 to 12 weeks after your initial appointment.  Most treatments include the first retouch unless indicated otherwise.

WHILE YOUR SKIN HEALS, BE PREPARED FOR THE COLOR INTENSITY OF YOUR PROCEDURE TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER, SHARPER, BRIGHTER, OR DARKER than what is expected for the final outcome. This is a normal and expected result of the application and healing process. The healing process may take up to 10 days visibly and up to 6 weeks underneath the outer layer of skin.   The entire healing process takes 6 weeks, again depending on the skin. Since delicate skin or sensitive areas may swell slightly or redden, it may be best not to make social plans the day following any procedure.

• If you receive chemical peels, microdermabrasion or any facial treatments please inform your practitioner of your permanent Cosmetics.
• Please inform your doctor of your Permanent Cosmetics if you are scheduled for an MRI scan.
• Color fading is normal as your skin cells shed often, so it is advisable to refresh your color as you feel you may need.
