Time: 2 hours
Price: $500
6-8 week touch up: $100
Colour boost 12-18 months: $320

A microblade tool is used to apply colour pigments that look like real hairs. The colour effect will fade over time, so touch-ups may be necessary to maintain the desired look.
Microblading is said to offer natural looking and defined eyebrows, but the process typically takes some time to perfect.
The initial procedure may take up to a couple of hours, and the eyebrows will appear darker immediately after the initial treatment.
a Touch-up will have to be done about 4-6 weeks after the first initial microblading, to ensure that the colour is correct and does not fade.
This technique is not suitable for oily skin.

Permanent Eyebrow Makeup

Colour boost 12-18 months: $320

Ombre Brows, also known as Powdered Brows, are a semi-permanent eyebrow styling technique that creates a soft shaded brow pencil look. This amazing technique, first developed in Asia, has been around for decades and has been gradually improving over the years. This look can also be done more dramatic, but it gives an awesome look if the brow fades away from the inside area of the brow, becoming more solid towards the tails of the brows.


It gives great definition & depth to the eyebrows. It is particularly recommended for women with oily skin or combination skin or anyone who fills in their brows regularly with pencil or shadow.


Ombre powder brows are great for any skin type, unlike microblading, which may not work well on oily skin.

Your eyebrows will look fuller, more defined as well as dramatic.

Ombre brows last longer than microbladed brows, usually up to 5 years.


The ombre powder technique is a bit less invasive than that of microblading.

Also, this semi-permanent eyebrow styling technique is less painful than that of microblading.

FAQ

The Answers You Need

WHICH BRAND DO WE USE AND WHY IS IT A UNIQUE BRAND, WITH GOOD RESULTS?

We use Swiss color pigments. Which only use  pigment materials, whose raw material quality is guaranteed according to ResAP (2008/1). All the ingredients are 100% REACH compliant.
This brands pigments are very unique due to all the lip pigments being free of heavy metals. About 50-70% of the pigments remain in the skin after treatment, thus resulting in fantastic results.
When we have a look at the brow pigments, they are all free from titanium dioxide, tartrazine, PAH, nickel, AZO dyes as well as preservatives. Due to the pigment flow process clients will have a smooth and velvety colour texture. These pigments have a very high density and saturation and that gives a very well pigmented brow after healing has taken place. The fact that no nickel is found in this brand, results in the colour of the brow not having a blue or reddish undertone at all.
Swiss color’s eye liner pigments do not contain any hazardous AZO dyes, PAH’s, NDELA’s. The deep blacks are free from any iron oxides and heavy metals.

HOW LONG DOES PERMANENT MAKE UP ( TATTOOING) LAST FOR?

  • For pigmented eyebrows & lips the SC care balms are also recommended. These balms have an spf of 15 in them to protect the area against the sun. These balms make the pigmented area well groomed and allows the lips to be softer and the result to appear even better.

The care balms nourishes the skin if used regularly and as a result, they last significantly longer in the skin.

  • If we retouch or work over your previous faded tattoo, the old colour can reappear after a while if it is deeper than the new pigment, or it the old colour can dominate because of the chemical composition. Therefor success of the treatment cannot always be guaranteed.

CAN PERMANENT MAKEUP BE REMOVED?

Yes,  with our SC colorX method which is used to remove the pigmentation.
SC colorX method was developed by pharmasists & doctors. This method of removal meets high hygiene requirements. This is a natural product that occurs in human metabolism.
Colour pigments for permanent makeup/ tattooing is usually 1-4mm under the skin. The uppermost part of the protective layer is removed and the dermis remains untouched.
The massage of the epidermis leads to leakage of the removal fluid to the macrophages(phagocytes) sealed color.
As soon as the macrophages come into contact with the removal liquid, they release color molecules. The skin recognises them as a foreign body and repelled to the surface of the skin.
Crusts form quite quickly and will fall off within 4-7 days. Underneath the new skin forms without color pigments.As technology has improved and more research has been done, it is proven that this technique removes the tattoo pigment in the skin if you are unhappy with your brows that have been microbladed or if you have powdered brows.
This is not as invasive as lazer and it is a good technique to remove the pigment without causing scarring or hair loss.
The technique uses fine needles to open up the skin and then a product is put onto the areas that have been opened up. The product then pushes the pigment to the surface and one basically  has instant results.
with by a medical specialist using the latest technology you can also consider as an option .
White colour pigments cannot be removed at all.
