FAQ & Policies

What are Microblading/Nano and Ombré Powder Brows?

Microblading is a semi-permanent manual tattoo technique that mimics the look of fuller yet natural-looking brows with realistic hair-like strokes - done using a sterile manual blade depositing pigment into the skin. This is typically best for clients with thin brow hairs who want fuller brows and the most natural results. This is best for clients with normal to dry skin, as oily skin with large pores can heal with thicker and blurred strokes. 

​

Nano Brows (Machine Microblading) is a similar look of hair-strokes, but done with a machine and single needle. Similar to a body tattoo but more superficial, this gives the artist more freedom with the hair-stroke patterns. this is best for clients who like the natural hair-stroke fluff look, have thicker more coarse brow hairs (even if thin or sparse), or have no little to no hairs at all (i.e. alopecia). This also works best on all skin types. Although some fading can still be present with oilier skin types, it is a better alternative to microblading.

 

Ombré Powder Brows is also a semi-permanent tattoo technique, except it mimics a powdery makeup look on the brows.

This is done with a machine and a needle head that pokes the skin to deposit pigment. Usually darker at the tails of the brow, with an ombré look that lightens at the fronts of the brows. This can be done bold (similar to a sharp concealer brow makeup look) or soft (like a brow tint), however the client desires!

Results are best for ALL skin types. Ombré is a great choice for clients with a lot of and/or thicker brow hairs who are looking for a more defined and symmetric shape. Ombré Powder Brows may be recommended to you at your appointment if you have booked for Microblading, depending on your skin type (thickness, age, oiliness, etc.) 

 

Combination Brows -- This is a combination of Microblading/Nano and Ombré Powder., with a natural hair-stroke look in the fronts and some more definition towards the tails. Strokes can also be done on the arch, depending on the look you want. Combination Brows is best for all skin types and clients who want the best of both worlds. 

​

I'm not sure which to book, will you help me?

Yes! The artist will go over all the details at the start of your appointment, doing a full consult to determine which brow style is best for you. Taking into consideration your skin type, lifestyle, preference, if and how you draw your brows on, and of course how your brows naturally look, we'll choose what style is best then, so no consultation is necessary. You are not tied to the service type you choose at the time of booking! 

​

Brow mapping - we use specific measuring techniques to maximize the symmetry and finalize the perfect shape suiting each face. We do not begin until you are fully confident with the shape we have drawn on! 

At Browz, we use the best products and pigments to ensure the finest healed results. There is never any concern for unnatural red/blue pigment over the years. All materials used during each and every appointment are 100% sterile and disposable.  

 

These services can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on your skin type and color, age, lifestyle, and your following of the before and after care instructions.

• Permanent Makeup brows are ideal for anyone wanting to enhance the natural look of their eyebrows, with hair-like strokes, or a soft powdery makeup look. 

• People suffering from alopecia, chemotherapy, trichotillomania or any other conditions that cause hair loss benefit greatly from this, as well as those who simply aren’t happy with their sparse, thin or uneven eyebrows!

​

Does microblading hurt?

At Browz, we numb the skin topically with a cream prior to beginning the procedure, as well as multiple times with a liquid-gel during the procedure into the broken skin. This eases any discomfort and pain the client may feel. Clients may relate the feeling to that of threading eyebrows. About a discomfort level of 1-3 out of 10. Everyone's level of sensitivity is different, but we do what we can to ensure minimal pain! 

​

My brows have previous microblading/tattoo, can you touch them up?

Only my previous clients can receive a touch-up with me. New clients must book a first session appointment for corrective work. You will need to send over pictures of your brows prior to booking, to ensure it is something we can work over. Please send pictures via email to browzdc@gmail.com.

​

How often do I need to come in for a touch up?

You will come in for your first session, then follow up in 6-12 weeks for your first touch up. After this, you should be good to go for 1-3 years. Refresh times are dependent on the amount of fading. It is not necessary to come in at the 1 year mark, that can be too soon for some clients. All returning clients must send in photos of their brows to determine if it is time for a refresh. Gradual fading over time is expected until brows have faded enough for a refresh!

​

What forms of payment do you accept?

I only accept cash, Zelle, and Apple Cash.

Apple Cash payments are done via iMessage and does not allow credit card usage.
