Nano Brows is a newer and more advanced permanent makeup technique for eyebrows. Like Microblading, it offers the most natural hair stroke look. This technique is performed with a single mechanized needle inserted into one of the quietest machines on the market that provides a calm experience for clients. Our high-quality vegan pigment is planted into the skin to create curved lines that mimic the look of hair.

Combo brows are essentially a combination of hair strokes and the powdered technique. Typically, hair strokes are placed in the front of the brows and along the middle top border of the brow then the hair strokes blend in with the powdered technique. The powered techniqe portion is concentrated on the tail fading into the arch and body of the brows and also blends in between the hairstrokes creating a flawless transition.

The best candidate for this technique are those who have oilier skin, those who lack hair in the arch or tail area of the brow, or those who desire the look of both hair strokes and the powdered look. This technique also works for clients who have no hair, which would provide a more natural look.

The lash line enhancement permanent makeup technique is a thin line that is tattooed at the root just above your lashes which gives the illusion of a thicker, darker, and fuller lash line.

* If clients are prone to cold sores/herpes, taking cold sore/herpes medication one week prior to the procedure is recommended to prevent any possible reactions.

The first modern application of permanent cosmetics was by Sutherland MacDonald, in 1902 at his tattoo parlor in London. Mr. MacDonald became well known for tattooing an all around delicate pink complexion on the cheeks, and he was followed by George Burchett in the 1930’s as a major developer of this technique.

However, Micropigmentation or Permanent Makeup, has actually been in use for thousands of years, with archaeological evidence showing tattoos on bodies as old as 3300 B.C. Egyptian and Nubian mummies are tattooed, as were the Incas, Mayans, Aztecs, and Greeks. The tradition persists today- using tattooing to create beauty, prestige, and set oneself apart from the pack.
