Combination Brows

What it is

Unsure between the sharp definition of microbladed strokes and the soft ombré of powder brows? Combination brows give you the best of both worlds: individually microbladed hair strokes around the edges for definition, with powder shading through the centre for natural fullness.

Who it suits

Suitable for all ages and skin types, and particularly good for oilier skin - the technique lasts longer than conventional microblading or powder brows alone. Especially effective for sparse brows that need natural-looking definition.

Comfort

Numbing is applied first. The sensation is a gentle drag - like a ballpoint pen pulled over the skin - with post-treatment soreness similar to mild sunburn that quickly subsides.

Pricing

Initial treatment includes consultation, patch test, aftercare kit and a perfecting session at 4-6 weeks. Retouch includes asymmetry correction.
