What to expect
Agree shape, colour and placement
Review the proposed brow, lip or eyeliner design before pigment is applied, and discuss how it may change over time.
Check hygiene and consent
Permanent makeup is a tattoo procedure. Confirm clean equipment, pigment information and how infection or an allergic reaction will be managed.
Plan healing and review
Obtain the area-specific cleaning routine and discuss whether and when a review or touch-up is appropriate.
Preparation and aftercare
Before your appointment
- Tell the practitioner about previous permanent makeup, ink reactions and relevant skin conditions.
- For lip work, mention cold sores; for eyeliner, mention eye symptoms and contact lenses so the practitioner can advise.
After your appointment
- Follow the artist’s cleaning instructions and do not pick healing skin or apply unapproved products over it.
- Worsening redness, swelling or discharge needs assessment. Eye pain or vision changes after eyeliner work require prompt medical attention.

FAQs
What is the difference between Hybrid Brows, Microblading, and Powder Brows?
Microblading creates hair strokes only for a soft natural look. Powder Brows use machine shading only for a filled-in makeup finish. Hybrid Brows combine both techniques—strokes at the front for hair texture, plus shading through the arch and tail for depth and longevity.
Are Hybrid Brows suitable for oily skin?
Yes! While standalone microblading hair strokes can blur faster on oily skin, the addition of machine pixel shading in Hybrid Brows stabilizes the pigment retention, ensuring your brows stay defined and crisp for much longer.
Are Hybrid Brows painful?
Discomfort is minimal. We apply medical-grade topical numbing creams before and during the procedure to keep the treatment area comfortable throughout both the microblading and shading steps.
How long do Hybrid Brows last?
Hybrid Brows typically last 2 to 3 years, depending on your skin type, cellular turnover, sun exposure, and skincare routine. Annual color touch-ups keep the hair strokes crisp and the shading vibrant.
Is a 6-week touch-up session required?
Yes, a 6-week perfecting touch-up session is recommended. Permanent makeup is a two-step process that allows us to refill any light spots after healing, perfect stroke density, and refine overall shape symmetry.
