Our Brow Tattooing Services

We offer four distinct brow tattooing techniques: Microblading, Nano Brows, Combination Brows, and Ombre Brows. Each technique is designed to create a specific look based on your skin type, brow preferences, and desired outcome. Here’s a detailed comparison:

1. Microblading

Ideal for: Clients seeking a natural, soft look with delicate hair strokes.

What it is:
Microblading is a semi-permanent brow technique where a small handheld blade is used to create fine, hair-like strokes in the skin. The pigment is manually deposited into the dermal layer, mimicking the natural direction of brow hairs.

Who it's for:

  • Best for individuals with normal to dry skin.

  • Ideal for clients who want a soft, natural effect with realistic hair strokes.

  • Suitable for those with sparse or light brows.

  • Not recommended for oily skin, as the strokes can blur or fade more quickly.

Look & Feel:

  • Creates a hair-stroke effect that looks very natural, perfect for clients looking for a more defined, fuller shape without looking overly bold.

  • The result is typically softer and more natural than other techniques.

Longevity:

  • Microblading generally lasts 12 months to 5 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.

Pros:

  • Perfect for natural-looking, defined brows.

  • Great for clients with no or very few existing brow hairs.

Cons:

  • Requires more frequent touch-ups, especially for oily skin.

  • Not ideal for those with oily or combination skin as the strokes may blur.

2. Nano Brows

Ideal for: Those who want precise, ultra-fine strokes with long-lasting results.

What it is:
Nano brows are created with a single needle machine, unlike microblading, which uses a blade. The machine delivers extremely fine hair-like strokes that mimic the natural flow of brow hairs. The strokes are finer and more precise than microblading, allowing for more detailed results.

Who it's for:

  • Suitable for all skin types, but especially effective for oily, combination, or sensitive skin.

  • Ideal for clients who want a cleaner, more defined appearance with more refined results.

  • A great option for clients who want natural-looking strokes, but with a longer-lasting result than microblading.

Look & Feel:

  • Produces fine, crisp hair strokes with a natural look.

  • Suitable for those who want a slightly more structured brow with a longer-lasting finish than microblading.

Longevity:

  • Nano brows can last anywhere from 1.5 to 7 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.

Pros:

  • More durable than microblading, especially for oily or combination skin.

  • Precise strokes that look natural.

  • Less fading and blurred edges compared to microblading.

Cons:

  • Takes a bit longer to complete than microblading due to the precision required.

  • Results can appear slightly bolder than microblading because of the needle's precision.

3. Combination Brows

Ideal for: Clients who want the best of both worlds – natural hair strokes with added definition and fullness.

What it is:
Combination brows combine two techniques: microblading for the front of the brow (where natural hair strokes are desired) and shading for the tail end of the brow (where definition and depth are often needed). This results in a hybrid brow that is both natural and structured.

Who it's for:

  • Perfect for clients with uneven brows or areas that need more structure.

  • Ideal for those who want the soft, fluffy look at the front of the brow and a bold, defined tail.

  • Great for clients with sparse or thin brows who want more volume.

Look & Feel:

  • The front of the brow will look like fine hair strokes, while the tail will have a soft powdery finish.

  • Creates a more full and defined look compared to microblading alone, but still maintains a natural appearance.

Longevity:

  • Lasts 1 to 7 years, depending on skin type and lifestyle. Clients with oily skin may need touch-ups sooner.

Pros:

  • Perfect for those who want a fuller, more defined brow with soft natural strokes at the front.

  • Provides a balanced look for all brow shapes.

Cons:

  • Requires more precision and skill to blend both techniques seamlessly.

  • Some clients may prefer one technique over the other (e.g., some may want all strokes or all shading).

4. Ombre Brows

Ideal for: Clients who want a bold, filled-in look that mimics the look of makeup or powder.

What it is:
Ombre brows are created using a machine to deposit pigment in a gradient pattern, with the tail of the brow being darker and the front of the brow being lighter. This technique creates a soft, powdered effect that is perfect for those who love the look of filled-in brows.

Who it's for:

  • Best for oily, combination, or mature skin since the shading technique holds up well on these skin types.

  • Ideal for clients who want a makeup look that’s more defined and doesn’t require daily filling in.

  • Great for those who prefer the look of penciled-in brows or a more structured, dramatic effect.

Look & Feel:

  • The result is a gradient, soft-powdered effect that looks very polished and defined, especially at the tail.

  • The front of the brow will be lighter and fade into a darker shade at the arch and tail, giving it a soft makeup look.

Longevity:

  • Ombre brows generally last 2 to 7 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.

Pros:

  • Long-lasting, especially on oily or combination skin.

  • Requires minimal touch-ups compared to microblading or nano brows.

  • Gives a defined, full look without looking too harsh.

Cons:

  • May appear more dramatic or powdered than other techniques, which may not appeal to those seeking a more natural look.

  • Takes longer to heal than hair stroke methods.

Pre-Appointment Guidelines

  • Numbing Cream: Due to TGA regulations, I am unable to provide numbing cream. Please purchase numbing cream from your local pharmacy. Apply it to the treatment area 2 hours before your appointment and cover with Glad Wrap for optimal absorption.

  • Avoid Blood Thinners: No aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood thinners 48 hours before the procedure to reduce bleeding and pigment loss.

  • No Tweezing/Waxing: Please avoid waxing, tweezing, or threading 2-3 days before your appointment to ensure the shape is accurate.

  • Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your brows from sunburn, tanning beds, and excess sun exposure for 1-2 weeks before the procedure.

  • Arrive Makeup-Free: Please come to your appointment with clean brows, free of makeup or skincare products.

Aftercare

  • No Touching: Avoid touching your brows during the healing period to reduce infection risk.

  • Clean Gently: Cleanse your brows with lukewarm water and a mild, unscented soap. Pat dry—don’t rub.

  • Avoid Makeup: No makeup or skin products on your brows for 10-14 days.

  • No Swimming: Avoid swimming, saunas, sweating at the gym, or anything that could soak or irritate your brows for 10 days.

  • No getting them wet: for 10 days
