Combi Brows

Combi Brows are created using a specialised technique that combines nano hair strokes with soft shading to achieve a beautifully defined yet natural look. The process begins with a consultation to discuss your desired brow shape and colour. On the day of the procedure, the technician cleans the brow area and applies a numbing cream for maximum comfort. Using a fine nano needle, pigment is carefully applied to create ultra-precise hair strokes at the front of the brows, while soft shading is added through the arch and tail for added depth. This technique allows for incredible detail and a natural, balanced finish.

Combi brows typically takes around 2.5 to 3 hours. It begins with an intake to discuss your desired shape and color, followed by precise brow mapping to ensure symmetry and balance. A topical numbing cream is then applied for about 20 to 30 minutes to maximise comfort. Once the area is numb, the actual tattooing process begins, using a combination of fine hair strokes and soft shading to achieve a natural yet defined look.

Combi brows approximately last between 1.5 to 3 years, depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Oily skin types may experience faster fading, while drier skin tends to retain pigment longer. Exposure to the sun, skincare products containing exfoliants or acids, and overall skin regeneration can also affect longevity. To maintain their shape and colour, a touch-up is recommended around every 12 to 18 months. Over time, the brows will gradually fade, allowing for adjustments in shape or color if desired.

Discomfort during the combi brows procedure is minimal, as a topical numbing cream is applied before and during the treatment to keep you comfortable. Most clients describe the sensation as a slight scratching or pressure rather than pain. Pain tolerance is different for each person, though overall it is described as very manageable. Those with sensitive skin may feel more discomfort, while others find it relaxing. If needed, additional numbing can be applied throughout the session to ensure a more comfortable experience, make sure to communicated with your technician and be honest if it is becomming painful.

There are some temporary side effects associated with the combi brows procedure, but they are generally mild and part of the normal healing process. You may experience redness, slight swelling, tenderness, and mild scabbing in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few days. Some people may also notice itching as the brows heal, but it’s important to avoid scratching or picking at them. In rare cases, individuals with sensitive skin may experience minor irritation or prolonged redness. Proper aftercare helps minimise side effects and ensures smooth healing.

Combi Brows may be suitable for you if you're looking for a natural yet defined brow look that combines both hair strokes and soft shading. They work well for most skin types, especially those with normal to slightly oily skin. If you have sparse, uneven, or thinning eyebrows, combi brows can help fill in and shape your brows to create a fuller, more balanced appearance. A consultation either online or in person with a trained technician can help determine if combi brows are the best choice for your skin type and brow goals.

Choosing between Combi, Powder, or Nano Brows depends on your desired look and skin type:

Combi Brows: Ideal if you're looking for a mix of natural hair strokes and soft shading. They provide both definition and a fuller appearance, making them perfect for those with sparse brows who want a natural yet structured look. Combi Brows work well for most skin types, including normal and slightly oily skin.

Powder Brows: Best for a soft, filled-in makeup effect. They provide a more defined, bold look compared to Combi or Nano Brows. Powder Brows are especially suitable for those with oily or mature skin, as the shading technique holds up better in those skin types. They offer a more "made-up" look without the need for daily makeup.

Nano Brows: Ideal for those who want ultra-natural, fine, and precise hair-like strokes. Nano Brows are great for creating a realistic, feathered look and work well for people with thin or sparse brows. This technique is suitable for all skin types, including oily skin, and provides a more delicate, natural finish compared to the other options.

Ultimately, if you're looking for a natural yet defined look, Combi Brows are a great option. If you prefer a softer, filled-in style, Powder Brows might be the best for you. For a hyper-realistic, hair-like appearance, Nano Brows would be the way to go.
