Combo Brows

​

​

Combination Brows, also known as Combo or Blade & Shade Brows, bring together the delicate detail of individual hair strokes with the soft fullness of machine shading.

​

This versatile technique combines either manual Microblading or digital Nano hair strokes with machine-applied powder shading to create a beautifully balanced brow with both texture and definition.

​

The hair strokes replicate the appearance of natural brow hairs, while the shading adds a soft wash of colour throughout the brow, creating depth, density and a more defined shape.

​

The placement and intensity of each technique can be customized to achieve anything from a soft, natural enhancement to a more structured finish. The result is a dimensional brow that offers the realism of hair strokes with the added fullness of shading.

​

WHO ARE COMBINATION BROWS FOR?

​

Combination Brows are an excellent option for clients who love the look of natural hair strokes but want more fullness, depth and definition than hair strokes alone can provide.

​

This technique is particularly suited to:

​

  • Clients with naturally sparse or uneven brows who desire additional density.

  • Those with gaps or areas of missing brow hair.

  • Clients who prefer a medium to fuller, more defined brow.

  • Those who enjoy a softly filled-in or makeup-inspired appearance.

  • Clients who want the natural texture of hair strokes combined with more consistent colour and coverage.

  • Clients with certain skin types, including combination or oily skin, who may benefit from incorporating machine shading rather than relying exclusively on hair strokes.

 

A CUSTOMIZED APPROACH

​

One of the greatest advantages of Combination Brows is their versatility. The balance of hair strokes and shading can be tailored to your natural brows, skin characteristics and desired result.

​

Whether you prefer softly feathered fronts with more defined arches and tails, or a combination of hair strokes and shading throughout the entire brow, each design is customized to complement your facial features and natural brow pattern.

​

The goal is to create beautifully balanced brows with dimension, fullness and definition, without sacrificing a natural-looking finish.

​

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT

​

Immediately after your appointment, your brows will appear darker and more defined. This is a normal part of the healing process. As the skin heals, the colour gradually softens and settles into its intended appearance.

​

Some tenderness, sensitivity, light flaking or minor scabbing may occur during the healing process. Initial healing generally takes approximately 1–2 weeks, although the pigment continues to settle beyond this period.

​

Following the recommended aftercare instructions is essential for optimal healing and pigment retention.

​

TOUCH-UPS & MAINTENANCE

​

A follow-up appointment is typically recommended approximately 8 weeks after your initial procedure to assess healing, evaluate pigment retention and make any necessary refinements.

​

Combination Brows gradually soften and fade over time. Longevity varies depending on individual skin characteristics, lifestyle, skincare and aftercare.

​

Many clients choose periodic refresh appointments to maintain their brow shape, colour and definition. A preferred returning-client rate is available for maintenance appointments and refreshes within three years of the original procedure.

Powder Brows

​

​

For clients who love the look of beautifully shaped, softly filled-in brows, Powder Brows offer a gorgeous, low-maintenance alternative to the hairstroke approach.

​

Using a specialized permanent makeup machine and a fine needle, pigment is delicately implanted into the skin through a series of tiny, precise deposits, creating a soft, pixelated shading effect. Unlike traditional microblading, which creates individual hair-like strokes, Powder Brows create a beautifully diffused finish that resembles the appearance of softly applied brow powder, using a shading technique.

​

One of the best things about this technique is its versatility. Whether you prefer a subtle, natural-looking enhancement or a more defined, polished brow, the intensity can be customized to suit your features and personal style. From a soft, airy front that gradually builds into a more defined tail, to a fuller, more evenly shaded brow, the possibilities are tailored to you.

​

Powder Brows are an excellent option for clients who:

​

  • Prefer a softly filled-in or makeup-inspired brow.

  • Have sparse, thin or uneven natural brow hair.

  • Want to add definition, shape and symmetry to their brows.

  • Regularly fill in their brows with pencil or powder.

  • Prefer a technique that does not rely on creating individual hair strokes.

 

The finished result is a beautifully balanced brow that enhances your natural features without the need for daily makeup application. As the brows heal, the initial color and intensity soften, leaving a more subtle, blended powder effect.

 

A follow-up appointment is generally recommended around eight weeks after the initial appointment to assess healing and perfect the final result.

​

Beautifully shaped. Effortlessly defined. Less time getting ready.
