This service is a form of micropigmentation, sometimes referred to as semi-permanent makeup. It is a non-invasive eyebrow enhancement. You may have heard different names for eyebrow micropigmentation like microblading, nano brows, powder brows, and ombre brows.

Eyebrow services like, laminations, brow dye, brow tint, waxing and threading target the eyebrow hair itself or the surface of your skin.

This service doesn't alter eyebrow hair. Pigment is deposited into the skin to give the illusion of having eyebrow hair or a soft defined brow.

Traditional tattoos are created with ink. Our bodies aren't able to break down the ink in our skin, making traditional tattoos long-lasting.

This service uses pigment. Over time our bodies are able to break down the pigment in our skin, causing the brows to fade.

Getting the best results starts before your appointment.

Healing time looks different for everyone. This is an average of what to expect and what you may experience. This is normal, trust the healing process.

Days 1-5 Brows may appear bold & warm-toned. The pigment is oxidizing & the blood at the surface of your skin mixes with the pigment color. The pigment will fade and soften when healed.

Days 3-7 Brows may start peeling, flaking, scabbing & may feel itchy. Do not touch, scratch, or pick at your brows, it may cause pigment loss.

Days 6-10 As eyebrows are flaking, they may appear patchy in areas, this is completely normal. Eyebrows might also look like they are gone in some areas or throughout the whole eyebrow. The pigment is settling into the skin.

Days 10-14 You may notice some patchiness, or your eyebrows may appear light in color. The pigment can take 15-30 days to fully settle into the skin.
