In contrast to Microblading, which may cause skin trauma and scarring, Nano Brows use a more delicate approach, resulting in smoother healing and more lasting, refined outcomes.
This technique is ideal for all skin types, offering a versatile solution for every texture and tone.
Personalized Appearance
Whether you prefer a subtle, natural look or a more bold, makeup-inspired style, the results can be customized to match your vision.
Long-Lasting Results
Achieve perfectly shaped brows that can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on your skin type and aftercare routine.
Works best on normal to dry skin and is not ideal for very oily skin.
Perfect for Sparse Brows
This technique is most effective for filling in thin or sparse brows. It may not be as noticeable on dense brows, as the strokes could blend in after healing.
Healthy Skin is Key
Ideal for individuals with healthy skin that isn’t heavily damaged by the sun or other skin issues, ensuring the best possible outcome and longevity.
While both methods aim to create beautifully defined brows, Nano Brows are a gentler, more skin-friendly alternative with superior long-term results. This technique is healthier for your skin and provides more durable outcomes over time.

1. Consultation
We begin your brow transformation with a personalized consultation where we’ll discuss your ideal eyebrow shape, color, and style. My main priority is making sure you feel fully informed and comfortable with the entire procedure.
2. Design
Whether you prefer delicate, hair-like strokes or a soft, powdery finish, I customize each brow to enhance your natural beauty. Using precise tools, I create a shape that complements your unique features and bone structure—no stencils involved! You’ll have input at every stage, and we won’t proceed until you’re completely happy with the design we’ve crafted together.
3. Numbing
To ensure your comfort, I apply a topical anesthetic to keep the procedure pain-free.
4. Pigmentation
I select a pigment that closely matches your natural brow hairs, ensuring a flawless and seamless result. Using the finest needles, I carefully implant the color to create brows that naturally enhance your facial features.
5. Aftercare
After your treatment, I’ll provide you with all the aftercare instructions to help maintain your brows. From avoiding water and sweat to protecting them from the sun, I’ll share expert tips to ensure your new brows heal beautifully and last longer.
Skin Preparation
Maintain Healthy Skin: Keep your skin in good condition, as this is crucial for the success of the procedure and achieving beautiful results.
Sun Exposure: Avoid sun exposure on your face for at least 2 weeks before and after your appointment to prevent the need for rescheduling due to sunburn.
Exfoliation: Gently exfoliate the brow area in the days leading up to your appointment to remove dead skin cells. Avoid aggressive scrubbing.
Vitamin A/Retinol: Cease using products containing Vitamin A or retinol four weeks before your appointment to reduce skin sensitivity.
Diet and Medication
24 Hours Before Your Appointment:
Medications and Supplements: Avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oils, vitamin E, and any other blood-thinning supplements.
Alcohol: Refrain from consuming alcohol in the 24 hours leading up to your appointment.
Caffeine: Limit caffeine intake. You may have a small cup of coffee up to 3 hours before your appointment.
Avoid Beauty Treatments
Facial Treatments: Do not wax, tweeze, or tint the brow area within a week of your appointment. Avoid facials and chemical peels for 2 weeks.
Cosmetic Injections and Fillers: Refrain from having cosmetic injections or fillers in the facial area for at least 3 weeks before your procedure.
First 24 Hours
Initial Cleaning: After you return home, clean your brows every 20 minutes for the first hour using a damp cotton pad to remove lymph fluid and reduce scabbing.
Ongoing Cleaning: Clean your brows every 2-3 hours with a damp cotton pad throughout the day.
Day 2 - Day 10
Cleansing and Moisturizing: Gently wash the treated area with the cleanser from your aftercare kit in the morning and evening. Pat dry and apply a thin layer of aftercare ointment, about the size of a grain of rice for both brows. Use clean hands or a Q-tip, and avoid over-applying the ointment.
General Aftercare Tips
Water Exposure: Avoid soaking the treated area. Wash only as instructed.
Sweating: Refrain from heavy sweating for the first 3 days to preserve the pigment.
Heat and Steam: Avoid saunas and steam rooms, and reduce shower temperature and time for the first 10 days.
Scab Care: Do not pick or scratch at scabs. Let them fall off naturally to avoid scarring or pigment loss.
Product Restrictions: For the first 10 days, avoid applying skincare products near the treated area. If you have dry skin, gently apply moisturizer only along the hairline.
Makeup: Do not apply makeup to your brows or forehead for at least 10 days after the procedure to prevent infection.
Healing and Color Changes
Initial Appearance: Right after the procedure, the pigment will appear darker and more intense. This is normal and part of the healing process.
Lightening Phase: The color will lighten as the outer skin layer heals and sheds.
Color Stabilization: Within 2-4 weeks, the pigment will continue to settle, and the final color and shape will become softer and more natural by week 4.
Touch-Up Process
Assessment: After the healing period, evaluate if a touch-up is necessary. Small adjustments may be made, particularly for any uneven areas.
Scheduling: Typically, touch-ups are scheduled 6-8 weeks after the initial procedure.
For the Best Results
Patience and Care: Follow all aftercare guidelines carefully to support the healing process.
Protection: Keep your brows protected from direct sunlight and avoid harsh facial treatments during the healing phase.
Eyebrow tattoos typically last between 1 to 3 years, influenced by several factors:
Skin Type: Oily skin tends to cause the pigment to fade quicker, while drier skin types may retain color longer.
Sun Exposure: Frequent sun exposure can fade the pigment. Using high-SPF sunscreen helps protect and preserve the color.
Lifestyle: Activities that involve excessive sweating, swimming, or exposure to chemicals can accelerate fading.
Pigment and Technique Quality: The type of pigment and the depth at which it's applied affects the longevity of the color.
Aftercare: Following aftercare instructions carefully can extend the life of your eyebrow tattoos.
Touch-ups are recommended every 12 to 18 months to keep your brows looking fresh. These sessions help address fading and adjust the shape or color to match your desired look.
Not at all! We apply a topical anesthetic to ensure you remain comfortable during the process, and many clients find it so painless they might even drift off. The initial sensation may feel like light scratching, but most say it's less uncomfortable than tweezing.
Microblading: This technique uses a manual blade to create hair-like strokes. It's ideal for a natural look, best for normal to dry skin. However, it's not recommended for oily or sensitive skin due to potential fading and blurring.
Powder Brows: A tattoo machine is used to create a soft, powdery finish, perfect for adding volume and depth. Suitable for all skin types, including oily and mature skin.
Nano Brows: Done with a tattoo machine, Nano Brows offer a similar effect to Microblading but with less skin trauma and more lasting results. Ideal for most skin types and less invasive than Microblading.
Key Differences:
Tool Usage: Microblading uses a manual tool, while Powder and Nano Brows use an electric device.
Technique: Microblading cuts into the skin, whereas Powder and Nano Brows use a fine needle to deposit pigment into the skin.
Appearance: Microblading creates fine strokes for a natural look but may not last as long, whereas Nano Brows provide similar results but with more durability. Powder Brows offer a fuller, more makeup-like finish.
Skin Suitability: Microblading isn’t ideal for oily or sensitive skin, but Powder and Nano Brows work well with almost any skin type.
The ideal eyebrow shape is determined during your consultation, where your artist will consider your facial features and personal style. Using precise measurements, they'll recommend a shape that enhances your natural beauty, ensuring symmetry and balance.
To achieve the best results, follow these steps:
Avoid Alcohol & Caffeine: Refrain from consuming alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours before your appointment to reduce bleeding and sensitivity.
Skip Blood Thinners: Avoid taking blood-thinning medications a few days before the session (consult your doctor first).
No Cosmetic Injections: Avoid cosmetic injections or fillers at least 3 weeks before the appointment to maintain natural skin contours.
Stay Out of the Sun: Avoid tanning or sun exposure to prevent sunburn.
No Face Treatments: Don’t have facials, peels, or microdermabrasion at least 3 weeks prior to your appointment.
Remove Makeup: Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup.
Stay Hydrated and Rested: Ensure you're well-hydrated and rested for the appointment.
Following these pre-care instructions will help ensure a smoother procedure and optimal healing.
Proper aftercare is crucial for successful healing. Here’s how to care for your new brows:
Keep Them Dry: Avoid getting your eyebrows wet for 7 to 10 days, including when showering or swimming.
Clean Gently: For the first 24 hours, clean your brows gently with lukewarm water and mild, fragrance-free soap, patting them dry.
Apply Healing Ointment: Use the recommended ointment as directed to keep the area moist and aid in healing.
Avoid Makeup: Don’t apply makeup or skincare products directly to your brows until fully healed.
No Picking: Let any scabs or flakes shed naturally to avoid pigment loss.
Sun Protection: After healing, protect your brows from direct sunlight by wearing sunscreen or a hat.
Follow-up care and regular touch-ups are important to keep your brows looking fresh.
Yes, you can, depending on the condition of your previous work. A consultation is needed to assess whether a correction or cover-up is possible. If you cannot meet in person, please send a clear, well-lit photo of your face and brows for evaluation. Please note that the first session with us will be considered as an initial appointment, and pricing will reflect that.
The procedure typically lasts between 2.5 to 3 hours, including the consultation, pigment application, and any final adjustments to ensure a perfect result.
Yes, eyebrow tattoos can be corrected or removed if necessary. Corrections often involve adjusting the shape or color. For removal, options such as laser treatments or specific tattoo removal procedures are available. These should be performed by certified professionals and may require several sessions.
After your initial eyebrow tattoo session, a perfecting touch-up is recommended 6-8 weeks later to refine the color and shape. Annual touch-ups are typically needed every 12 to 18 months to maintain the definition, shape, and color of your brows.
The frequency of touch-ups may vary depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and how well you follow aftercare instructions.
