Once you’ve given your consent after the consultation and brow predraw, it is important to note that any desired changes after the completion of the procedure are not the liability of the studio.

For clients seeking corrective work with previous work done by another artist, we kindly request realistic expectations. Working on a canvas with existing ink is different from a clean slate. Depending on the condition of your old brows or lips, the results may differ from those of a brand-new set with no prior ink. Additionally, achieving your desired results may require multiple sessions.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in recognizing the unique circumstances of corrective work. It is our priority to provide the best possible outcome while managing expectations realistically.

What are Ombre Brows? Ombre Powder Brows is a semi-permanent makeup technique that creates a soft, shaded pencil look, providing the appearance of fuller brows akin to a soft eyebrow pencil. Popular for its non-invasiveness and suitability for all skin types, Ombre Powder Brows involve pixelated effects, offering a soft or bold look lasting up to three years based on lifestyle and maintenance choices. It’s essential to note that it is not microblading.

Eligibility for Ombre Brows: Unfortunately, individuals falling into specific categories may be ineligible for the procedure. Please check Disqualifications List

Does it Hurt? Pain tolerance varies, with most describing it as a light scratch. Topical anesthetic is used to numb the areas after the outline and throughout the procedure for maximum comfort.

Shape and Color Selection: Shapes are based on natural bone structure and existing hair growth, considering individual brow goals. A pre-draw with a brow pencil ensures satisfaction before starting. Brows are not identical but aim for symmetry. Colors are personalized to match natural hair, skin tone, and eye color, using organic and cruelty-free pigments.

Touch-Up and Longevity: A touch-up after 6-12 weeks is recommended for optimal results. The frequency of touch-ups is a personal preference, with annual touch-ups suggested for color and shape maintenance. Touch-ups are not included in the initial service cost. The longevity of Ombre Brows depends on factors such as sun exposure, skin type, pigment density, and long-term maintenance, typically lasting between 18 and 36 months.

Healing Process: The scabbing process takes 10-14 days, with full healing stages at 4-6 weeks.

Preparation and Post-Procedure Expectations: Refer to our ‘Brow Precare Guidelines for Optimal Results’ and ‘Brow Aftercare Instructions’ for preparation. Post-procedure, tenderness, redness, and swelling are normal and will subside. The color appears darker initially and gradually lightens during healing.

Long-Term Maintenance: Yearly touch-ups are recommended, and daily SPF-50 application is crucial post-healing to maintain color. Avoiding chemical peels, laser treatments, and retinols on the brow area is advised to prevent fading.

Brows Done by Another Artist: Brows done by another artist are not considered touch-ups but may require a color correction appointment and is based on factors like saturation, bulb lightness, and adherence to the natural brow shape.
