Semi-permanent makeup
Ombre, nano, and combo brows are semi-permanent makeup procedures where pigment is implanted into the top second layer of the skin. A machine is used to create tiny pixels that make your brows look like it is filled in with pencil or powder. For ombre brows, the shading is softer/lighter at the bulb and sharper towards the arch and tail. On the other hand, for nano, the machine is used to create hair strokes that look like your natural hair. Lastly, combo brow is a combination of the two. All these techniques are different from microblading. They are less invasive, less painful, and suitable for all skin types. These semi-permanent brows can last up to 3 years, depending on your skin type and how well you take care of it.
NOTE: Semi-permanent makeup is a TWO-STEP process. A touch-up is required between 6-8 weeks after your initial session. The touch-up session perfects your desired look and seals in color and shape for longer-lasting results.
