Combo Brows

Natural Texture with Soft Definition

Combo Brows combine two permanent makeup techniques—nano hair strokes and soft shading—to create beautifully balanced, fuller-looking brows. Fine hair-like strokes are placed at the front of the brow to mimic natural brow hairs, while soft shading is added throughout the body and tail to build depth and definition.

This hybrid technique creates the perfect balance between natural texture and soft fullness, resulting in brows that look effortlessly polished while still appearing realistic.

Combo brows are ideal for clients who want the softness of hair strokes with the added density and longevity of shading.

  • Appointment Time: 2.5–3 hours
    Numbing: Topical numbing cream is used for comfort
    Technique: Combination of nano hair strokes and soft machine shading
    Customization: Brow shape and pigment are carefully selected to complement your facial structure, skin tone, and natural brow pattern.

    A detailed consultation and brow mapping are performed before the procedure to ensure the perfect shape and symmetry.

  • • Natural-looking hair strokes in the front of the brow
    • Soft shading for fullness and definition
    • Fuller, more structured brows
    • Long-lasting results
    • Custom shape and pigment tailored to your features
    • Reduces the need for daily brow makeup

  • Combo Brows are ideal for clients who:

    • Have sparse or uneven brows
    • Want a natural look with added fullness
    • Like the appearance of hair strokes but want more definition
    • Have normal to slightly oily skin
    • Previously overplucked their brows

    This technique works beautifully for clients who want a balanced, dimensional brow look.

    This technique works beautifully for most skin types and ages, including mature skin.

    • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
    • Are currently using Accutane
    • Have certain skin conditions near the brow area

  • Healing occurs in several stages and typically takes 7–14 days for surface healing and 4–6 weeks for full healing.

    Days 1–3
    Brows appear darker and more defined than the final healed result.

    Days 4–7
    Light flaking or peeling may occur as the skin begins to heal.

    Days 7–14
    Brows soften in color and appear lighter.

    Weeks 4–6
    Color settles into the skin and the final healed result becomes visible.

    A perfecting touch-up appointment is required once healing is complete.
