Microblading
Microblading uses a series of sloped micro-needles and pigment to create a natural looking brow. It is a form of cosmetic tattooing. The sloped series of needles is used to stroke pigment into the skin appearing like natural hair to the naked eye, using the manual approach. If you are someone who desires an incredibly, natural, fluffy look, and you already have a decent amount of brow hair, microblading is a great option for you.
Powder Brows
Powder Brows are preformed by using a cosmetic tattoo machine and a nano needle. The goal of achieving a perfectly sleek, powdery look is created by your artist manipulating the device in a light and quick shading motion. This technique is great for clients who have little to no hair. It is also a great choice for clients who love a clean, filled in eyebrow that mimics the illusion of soft makeup. A powder brow is the perfect solution to a smudge free life.
Combination Brows
The combo brows technique utilizes both microblading and powder shading to provide you the best of both worlds. This is a great choice for clients with normal to dry skin types but have very little to no eyebrow hair. By utilizing both techniques, your artist can create a beautiful, multidimensional look. Who doesn’t love a natural, complete looking brow.
Before your first session:
A topical numbing anesthetic is applied. Your artist will spend time measuring the symmetry of your face and features. It is imperative to create the absolute perfect eyebrow shape that compliments your natural brow bone. Once we have a stencil established, we work as a team to find the right color of pigment for you.
After your first session:
You will be scheduled for a touch up 6-8 weeks after your procedure. Our goal is to achieve a beautiful brow lasting 12-14 months.

Things To Keep In Mind
All forms of cosmetic tattooing can cause redness or swelling. Your initial results will appear darker than desired but will fade 30-50% during healing.
We ask that you plan your session accordingly. If you have any major events or vacations planned, it is wise to schedule appropriately to allow proper time for healing.
Healing varies with every client. Your freshly pigmented skin will appear bold at first and go through a healing process. Things like scabbing, redness, swelling and peeling are all expected. During your healing process, it is important you reach out to your artist with any questions you may have.
