The Appointment

How It Works.

No surprises — here is exactly how your visit runs, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Consultation & mapping

    We map the shape to your facial proportions and agree the arch, thickness and front density before a single stroke of pigment goes in.

  2. 02

    Shade matching & patch test

    We match pigment to your hair and undertone, and patch test ahead of the appointment.

  3. 03

    Pigment application

    Pigment is layered to build a soft powdered gradient — lighter at the front, deeper through the tail. Numbing is used throughout.

  4. 04

    Perfecting session

    A complimentary follow-up six to eight weeks later balances colour and fills anything that healed lighter. The result is not final until this is done.

Before Your Visit

How To Prepare.

A little preparation makes a real difference to how comfortable your appointment is and how long your results last.

Pause what thins the skin

Stop retinoids and acids around the brow area for two weeks. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, fish oil and blood-thinning supplements for 24 to 48 hours, as these all increase bleeding and reduce pigment retention.

Let your brows be

Do not wax, thread, tint or tweeze for two weeks beforehand — we need to see your natural growth to map the shape properly.

Plan your calendar

Allow two weeks of healing before any big event, and avoid booking within four weeks of a holiday involving sun, swimming or sweating.

Afterwards

What To Expect,
What To Avoid.

What To Expect

Healing runs over roughly two weeks and the brows change noticeably along the way. This is normal, and the temptation to panic around day five is very common.

  • Days 1–3: brows look considerably darker and bolder than the final result
  • Days 4–7: light flaking and itching as the surface heals
  • Days 7–10: colour appears patchy or faded — this is the healing layer, not the result
  • Weeks 2–4: true colour settles and softens
  • Week 6–8: perfecting session completes the shape

What To Avoid

Through the healing period, please avoid:

  • Picking or scratching flaking skin
  • Sun exposure, tanning beds and sunbeds
  • Swimming pools, saunas, steam and hot tubs
  • Heavy sweating and intense exercise for 7 days
  • Makeup, retinoids and acids on the brow area
  • Sleeping face-down on the brows
Questions

Good
To Know.

Ask A Question
What exactly are ombre powder brows?

A semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that deposits pigment in a soft, gradual gradient rather than in individual hair strokes. The front stays lighter and the tail deeper, so the finish reads like a softly filled brow rather than a drawn-on line.

How long do they last?

Typically one to three years before a colour boost is worth considering. Oily skin, sun exposure and exfoliating skincare all shorten that, so results vary quite a bit between people.

How is this different from microblading?

Microblading cuts fine hair-like strokes into the skin. Ombre powder work uses a machine to shade pigment in softly. Powder brows generally heal more predictably, hold better on oily skin, and suit anyone who usually fills their brows in with powder or pencil.

Does it hurt?

Topical numbing is used before and during, and most clients describe it as pressure or scratching rather than sharp pain. Sensitivity is higher in the days just before a period.

Why does the perfecting session matter?

Everyone heals differently and some pigment is always lost in the first few weeks. The session at six to eight weeks corrects unevenness and adjusts depth. Consider the result unfinished until it is done — it is included in the price.

Who is not a candidate?

Semi-permanent brow work is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, on active skin conditions in the brow area, for anyone on isotretinoin within the past twelve months, or alongside certain medical conditions and blood-thinning medication. We work through all of this at consultation, which is exactly what it is for.

Can I see the shape before you start?

Yes, and you should. Nothing permanent happens until the mapped shape is drawn on and you have looked at it in a mirror and approved it. If it is not right, we redraw.
