Ombre Power Brows
Powder brows is a semi-permanent makeup technique designed to create eyebrows with a soft powder effect, similar to powder makeup. Powder brows are done with a shading technique using a permanent makeup device, similar to a tattoo gun. If you are someone who draws your brows on every day or overwhelmed with getting your eyebrows done weekly or monthly, this is the service for you. Book your consultation/appointment today!

MORE TIPS
-
Do not take long or super hot showers within the first 7 days. It can cause perspiration and push the pigment out.
-
Do not scratch or pick the treated area when it starts to itch or become patchy while healing. Pat instead. This will avoid scarring and pigment loss.
-
Do not pick at the area during peeling stage. It is part of the natural healing process. Your permanent makeup will appear softer and greyer until the color clarifies. Your new permanent makeup will go through several phases during the healing cycle.
-
It is normal for clients to lose original hair strokes or pigmentation. Everyone’s skin is different! It is absolutely normal and possible to heal unevenly. This is why a touch up session is required to add more strokes or pigmentation and perfect the shape if needed.
-
Keep your face away from the shower head while healing.
-
No makeup on treated area until peeling is finished. No exceptions.
-
Avoid sleeping positions that will rub your treated area while healing. Try sleeping on your side or wearing a silk or satin face mask to avoid friction
-
Cover your brows or treated area with a hat if you’re in the sun. The sun will cause the area to fade, resulting in an undesired color. Always wear sunscreen on the treated area after they heal if you aren’t wearing makeup
FAQs
Does it hurt?
Most of our clients will agree that the procedure is tolerable with a pain level of 3-5 out of 10, with 10 being the worst. We use a highly effective topical anesthetic for numbing during the procedure. Because a needle and or a blade is being inserted into the skin a level of discomfort is expected. Pain tolerance differs from person to person and every effort to ensure your comfortability is taken into consideration.
​
What is the process?
A topical anesthetic cream will be applied while conducting the consolation the day of your service to ensure you have a clear understanding of what to expect and we understand what you need. We recommend that you conduct research prior to your appointment to be more knowledgeable and confident in your decision to move forward. After the consultation you will complete required forms to move forward. We will began mapping your brows to prefect the best shape for your face/bone structure, and discuss pigment color options. Once the color and shaped is approved, brows are outlined and pigment is applied (topical anesthetic cream is applied throughout the process). The process could take up to 4 hours.

How long does permanent makeup last?
Permanent makeup can last for 1-3 years or more. A touch-up is required 6-10 weeks after the initial appointment. Clients that choose a soft ombre, light color shade, or did not follow the after care instructions may require more touch up appointments. Factors that cause permanent makeup application to fade faster include:
-
tanning bed/sun exposure
-
exfoliating
-
oily skin
-
profuse sweating (e.g., hot yoga 5x week)
-
medical conditions
We recommend a yearly "color boost" touch-up to maintain the procedures color, but always advocate to maintain the integrity of your skin.
​
Can I bring guests?
No guests are allowed at your appointments. Please ensure you have a sitter or made necessary accommodations for your children, pets. etc.
​
Can ombre be completed over microblading?
Microblading can be done over an existing brow tattoo, however the old tattoo must be significantly faded to look as natural as possible. Please advise if you have an existing tattoo and submit a picture to determine if you are a candidate for this procedure.
​
Is a touch up necessary?
After your first appointment your body starts to heal itself. This involves your brows scabbing, peeling and flaking off. After this process the skin looks very light, as if it has disappeared. The color starts to come back, but you do lose pigment during this time. Losing pigment takes the brows out of its initial shape. Even though the brows are both on your face, it doesn’t heal exactly the same. The follow up appointment is to add any pigment that you lost and to remeasure to get them back to looking as close to perfect as possible. Ultimately it is your choice to come back or not, but this process is a 2-part process.
