Frequently Asked Questions
for ombre powder brows
What is the difference between Microblading and Ombre Powder Brows?
Microblading is done by using a hand tool (not a machine) to deposit pigment into the epidermis to create hairline strokes. Ombre powder utilizes a hand held machine to fill in the brows - using pixelation (little dots) to create soft edges around the brows verses solid block brows. Ombre powder brows is suited for all types of skin.
What are the benefits of permanent cosmetics for the brows?
Brows will appear more symmetrical
May eliminate the daily use of pencils to fill in brows
Smudge proof and water proof
Saves time and money!

How long does it last?
Ombre powder brows is a form of permanent cosmetic tattooing. The pigment will remain in your skin forever, but will fade over time. We recommend getting a touch up every 1-3 years.
Please note: Final results cannot be guaranteed as each unique skin type will hold pigments differently and break down at different rates.
Does it hurt?
Most clients report little to no pain, and would compare it to a tweezing or threading session. Many clients even fall asleep! Topical anesthetic is applied during the procedure so the client can feel at ease while receiving the treatment.
How long is the procedure?
A session can take 2-3 hours between consultation, mapping, numbing, tattoo process, and photos.
How long does it take to heal?
The projected healing process is 10-14 days. This healing process is unique to the individual as there are many factors that slow or speed up the process: pre-care, aftercare, skin type, lifestyle, etc.
Your brows will be the darkest the first few days as the ink oxidizes and your brows are preparing to scab. As your scabs begin to fall off, it may fall off in small bits which is completely normal!
When the scab falls off, the pigment will appear to be light (almost like you’re missing pigment). This part is still normal! Think of when you fall and scrap your knee. When the scab falls off, the area looks very light in comparison to your natural skin. This is because the skin takes about 27 days to regenerate itself. Once it completes it’s cycle, the true color will resurface.
Do I need a touch up? Is it included?
If it is for a new set, the initial touch up (6-8 weeks out) is recommended but it isn’t required. If you are happy with the color and shape as it is, you don’t need to come back right away. Most people do come back to go: bolder, thicker, and/or minor adjustments.
It is not included In the pricing. Please see link for updated pricing:
Is it safe?
The strictest sanitation and safety standards are followed by using only single-use needles and tools. Your artist has been formally trained on how to keep you safe. The pigments are very high quality, vegan, cruelty free, and made in the USA.
How do you select a color?
A custom color will be mixed to match your brow hairs. We always go for the most natural look possible. The client and artist select the color together.
