Powder / Ombre Brows

Powder/ombre brow is a relatively new approach to achieving a tattoo eyebrow enhancement. It is achieved by implementing a hand-held tool or machine with sterile needles to lightly puncture thousands of tiny dots in the brow area. The needles implant high quality pigments into the upper dermal layer in the skin, leaving behind an airy shadow similar to a soft make up application. This is unlike the solid "sharpie" look of tattooed brows of the past. With the “ombre” effect, the tail of the brow is a bit darker than the front or bulb.
The powder/ombre effect can be as soft or bold as one desires.

Heal Time

A minimum of two weeks for superficial healing and 4-6 weeks for the initial healed result.The true final healed result is 4-6 weeks post perfecting session.

What is the difference between microblading and powder/ombre brows?

Microbladed brows: are created using a hand held manual tool to insert high quality pigment into the upper dermal layer of the skin via shallow slits created to closely resemble individual hairs. The artificial hairs follow the hair pattern of the natural brow if there is hair and an artists realism design if there is no hair.

Powder/ Ombre brows: are preformed using a manual or electric hand held tool to insert pigment into the upper dermal layer of the skin via an up and down needle motion. This creates mass amounts of pigmented dots into the upper dermal layer of the skin to create a soft shaded effect. The more dots in one area the darker the area. (Much like pointillism art) The bulb and edges of the upper part of the front body of the brow is lightest and the arch
and tail is the darkest creating an ombre like effect.

Both microblading and powder/ombre brows are considered different forms of tattoos.

Health Risks of Powder/ombre service

When pre and post care instructions are followed, the risk of complications are rare. However, should you suspect an infection, it is necessary for you to contact your health care provider immediately to avoid any further complications. This is at the cost of the customer. I am not qualified to diagnose or treat any medical issues that should arise.
If you have sensitive skin or allergies to topical makeup products, gold, silver, nickel, or hair dyes you should contact me to set up a patch test a few days in advance of your procedure. Most people choose to skip this step. Should you chose to skip this step, I can not be held liable for any reactions you may experience. You will be signing stating you do not feel the need for the patch test.

The Procedure

After signing the consent forms and addressing all questions, I clean your entire brow area and takes a few photos for reference. I then discuses the desired outcome you may have in mind and/or give you suggestions based on your facial morphology and natural thickness and general shape of your existing brows. (should you have any) Using special tools I then draw the design and verifiy the symmetry for the best possible outcome. After we both agree to the design, I then go over the color options that would best suit your skin tone and natural brow hair color. (If you have any) I make several passes over each brow making sure the pigment is implanted into the correct depth of skin. After the brows are completed I show you the end result and take a few more photos for reference. I then explain in detail how to care for your healing brows.

F.A.Q.

Am I A Canidate For The Powder/Ombre Brows Service?

Personal preference determines whether someone should get powder/ombre brows or microblading however, this service is especially ideal for oily, large pore, and mature skinned people as they are not always the best candidates to
receive microblading. You must prefer a more filled in make up look over the hair stroke look.

Powder/ombre brows either needs to be delayed, does not offer the best outcomes, or is not available to individuals:

Booking Fee

A non refundable booking fee is collected to protect Angela’s time. A mandatory 72 hour notice my allow for Angela to fill your spot on the schedule should you need to reschedule or cancel. If you do not allow for a 72 hour notice, it is
within Angela’s right to retain the booking fee. If you allow for the 72 hour notice or keep your scheduled appointment Angela will discount the fee from the full price of the service; the balance of which is due at the close of the first session. (Nothing at the perfecting session) If you do not allow for the 72 hour notice and would like to book for the future, another non refundable fee is assessed. Same goes for the perfecting session only you will have to pay an additional fee.

How is the pigment color chosen for Powder/Ombre Brows?

Is the perfecting session for the Powder/Ombre service necessary?

Can the perfecting session be preformed sooner than 4-6 weeks?

What if I do not like my Powder Brows service?

The healing process can be difficult for people to adjust to. “Brow shock” is a very real thing. If you find you are regretting your decision in the first 24 hours based on the current look of your brows, it is very important to remember it takes a FULL MONTH at least to see the true outcome of the first session. The brows WILL be darker and slightly larger in the first week or so. Slight asymmetry is not uncommon. Depending on the pigment used you may see more warmth for a short time. To avoid unwanted results, you must fully understand what you are getting yourself into and choose a practitioner you feel 100% comfortable with. Review images of their healed work. Discuss your expectations and desired outcome with your artist, including the shape, style, and color you wish to have. Realize that faces are never perfectly symmetrical and your artist is not a copy machine. Brows are sisters not twins.
Adjustments may be made during the perfecting session. Remember that microbladed brows will fade and touch ups are necessary. If worse comes to worse, and you just can’t wait to remove them, emergency removal can be done but only within 48 hours of the initial service and should be avoided if at all possible. This is done at the customers expense.

Are Powder/Ombre Brows permanent?

When referring to any form of make up like enhancing tattoos, it is important to understand that the term “semi- permanent” and “permanent” are commonly misconstrued. The term “semi permanent” only refers to the fact that the pigment does not wash off daily. The color must be refreshed on a 12-18 month basis to look its best. (some sooner, some later) There will always be some trace of pigment molecules in the skin, therefore it is in fact a “permanent” procedure.
Not only does the pigment used for permanent cosmetics consist of slightly different sized molecules, the skin on our face metabolizes the pigment faster than other areas of the body.

What if I have old permanent make up brows from another artist?

An in person consultation is mandatory if you have received any form of tattoo eyebrow enhancements form another artist. Angela has the right to refuse service to anyone should she not feel you are a good candidate for her services. If
Angela feels she is able to go forward with booking your services, you will be considered a new client and must complete both the first procedure and return for the perfecting session for best results.

Does powder/ombre brows hurt?

It is impossible to say for certain how painful the service is, as everyone has a different level of tolerance. Most people liken the feeling to multiple brow hairs being tweezed at once during the first pass across each brow. To help ease discomfort, I do use a topical anesthetic containing lidocaine, epinephrine and tetracaine.
It is worth noting that, to my surprise, I have had several people fall asleep while getting the service.

*It is not uncommon to be more sensitive to pain around menstruation
