Advanced Artistry Nano Brows
-This is the newest and most advanced technique of brow cosmetic tattooing. The results are an extreme hyper-realistic effect on the brows. Soft hair-strokes are created using a single nano needle and a permanent make-up machine (no microblade! no cuts in the skin!) The hair-strokes are placed organically throughout your brows based on your existing hairs and hair growth pattern to ENHANCE your brows - does not provide a filled, defined look. THIS TECHNIQUE IS BEST FOR A VERY NATURAL, FLUFFY, and ORGANIC look. Best for those who wear very little to no make-up on a daily basis and those who embrace a very natural look. Can last 1-2 years. Regular touch-ups are needed to maintain your Nano Brows.
Custom Combo Brows
-This cosmetic tattooing technique combines soft shading and NANO hair strokes (no microblade=no cutting of the skin!). Your brows will be enhanced with shading in the tail and body area and hair strokes will be added to the front (head) of the brow. **Hair strokes are always best for dry smooth skin types. (If you have oily, porous skin, be aware that you will only be able to have a small amount of hair strokes if you choose combo brows & they may fade at a faster rate or blend into the shading because of your oils. Can last 1-3 years. Regular touch-ups are needed to maintain your combo brows.
Soft Ombre Powder Brows
-Soft ombre powder brows is a cosmetic tattooing shading technique created using a permanent make-up machine with the newest techniques to provide a soft, beautifully filled brow. Ombre brows heal to a soft powdery effect on the brows - like you are wearing a powder make-up on your brows that doesn't wash off! Ombre powder brows can be customized to look very soft, like a permanent tint on your skin, to a more bold look, depending on your preference. Powder brow technique is minimally invasive and is good for all skin types. Can last 1-3 years. In order to maintain your ombre powder brow, regular touch-ups are needed. Suited to all skin types.
Corrective/Cover
-If you have received previous microblading or other brow permanent make-up, this is considered a correction or cover. Working over old permanent make-up is difficult and Nicola takes corrective cases ONLY if she believes that she is able to help you. Your previous work MUST be mostly faded. More saturated brows, brows that have been done more than 5 times, darker brows will most likely need removal before I can work on them. And even after, your brows are more difficult to work over than virgin brows. Please schedule a complimentary 15 minute consult for us to discuss the best plan of action for you and your brows. PLEASE BE AWARE: NOT ALL WORK CAN BE WORKED OVER.
Not sure what brow technique is right for you? refer to the chart below for a little guidance. if you have alopecia or a lot of missing brow hair, just choose the technique of the look you like most!
Still not sure? Book a complimentary eyebrow consultation.
