What is Ombre Brows?
Ombre brows is a machine shading technique that is suitable for ALL skin types. Using a tattoo machine we create small pixels that are implanted below the skin. The pixels are layer on top of one another until the saturation you desire is complete. This technique allows us to achieve either a soft look or bold look depending on particular style. Ombre brows typically lasts longer then other techniques and causes less trauma to your skin. Ombre brows can last 1-3 years if taken care of properly.

This also allows me to see a general idea of how you like your brow shape to be if applicable. Please bring your makeup bag with you to touch up for after photos to receive 5% off.
What can I expect after my appointment:
o After the procedure you can purchase an after care kit with all after care essentials. Immediately after you may experience some redness and swelling around the area which should subside within 24 hours. Over the next few hours the pigment will oxidize, making the brows look darker or warmer. This is completely normal. During day one please clean brows with sterile water and a cotton round. Day two you will keep your brows completely dry. During days 3-7 just apply ointment from front of brow to tail. Peeling is normal, please do not pick your eyebrows. Eyebrows may appear lighter within days 8 to 14 but not to worry your color will come back. Apply ointment till the peeling is completely gone. Eyebrows will fade up to 50%, this is completely normal.
Aftercare
