Ombre Powder Brows is a technique that creates a soft, powder filled brow. This technique has an ombre fade in the front that darkens towards the tail. This technique is best for everyone: people that need to reshape their brows, have missing areas of their brows, want thicker brows than their natural hair, brows that have been previously tattooed and more. This technique looks natural when healed while perfectly blending in with your eyebrow hair.

FAQs:
-
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST: All procedures are $500, which includes a free touch up 6-8 weeks later for no extra charge. Following, touch ups are half off ($200).
-
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?: These techniques fade over time and can last 1-3 years before needing another touch up. This depends on skin type (normal, oily, dry), age (youthful/mature) and lifestyle (in the sun a lot). Skincare routine will also affect the lasting effect of the pigment: patients who tan, uses products with AHA or Glycolic Acid will fade faster as your skin will resurface faster. Each individual's color retention within the skin will vary. To maintain the brows looking fresh, a touch up is suggested every 12-18 months for microblading and 2-3 years for powder brows and microshading. Clients can let their brows fade over time, but please note a slight shadow may remain.
-
DOES IT HURT?: The pain level for the procedure is considered mild to none. Prior to the procedure your brow technician will apply a topical anesthetic to numb the area, and also reapply during the procedure. Everyone responds differently to anesthetic; depending on the client, the feeling of the procedure has been described as light scratches to not feeling anything. Topical anesthetics used may contain lidocaine, prilocaine, benzocaine, tetracaine and epinephrine. After the procedure, redness and slight swelling in the area is normal. Clients describe the area feeling similar to a light sunburn.
-
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCEDURE TAKE?: The entire procedure should take about 2-3 hours. During this session, the brow technician will shape and style the client’s brows for client approval. We then follow with pigment color selection. Once the client is satisfied with the choices, we begin the procedure.The client is to come in for a follow up visit in order to have any minor necessary touch ups. The second session takes place 6-8 weeks after the initial session and should last no longer then an hour.
-
IS THE TOUCH UP NECESSARY?: Yes! A touch up session after 6-8 weeks is necessary as everyone heals differently and outcome will vary. Certain areas may not pick up during first session and will need to be refilled. Pigment color may need to be adjusted, brow thickness and more strokes can be added. Individuals with oily skin often require a deeper shade during the touch up session as the oils tend to lighten the pigment. Most importantly, your touch up session is when we refine your brows to ensure it looks perfect and retains the color.
-
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO HEAL?: The eyebrow area will be slightly red after the procedure and color will appear very dark. This is normal for the procedure and part of the healing process. The color will fade up to 30-50% as it heals. In the following days, the eyebrows will continue to be dark and you will notice slight scabbing or peeling that will last 2-4 days. Do not pick at the scabs as this may damage the skin and the outcome of the area. The eyebrows will lighten up in color as it heals. No down time is required after the procedure. It takes approximately 7-14 days for the brows to heal over, and about 1 month for the color to fully set in.
-
RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS: I take all proper precautions for a safe session by using sterilized equipment, new needles and in a sanitized environment. Should clients follow our pre and post care instructions, there should be minimal risks or complications . Although allergic reactions to the pigments are rare, it could be possible for certain individuals. We suggest a pigment patch test for individuals who have high skin sensitivities or are sensitive to: Topical makeup products, Gold, silver and nickel or Hair dyes. Patch tests should be performed 5-7 days prior.
