COSMETIC TATTOO (PMU)

Brow Techniques

Unlike old-school permanent makeup, our modern day PMU uses advanced tools & techniques to ensure natural looking, fade-friendly results that age beautifully over time.

Hairstroke Brows
This ultra-precise method mimics the natural look of eyebrow hairs using fine strokes.

• Ideal For: A soft, natural, textured, and fuller appearance.

• Lasts: 1-3 years with minimal maintenance.

• Why Choose Hairstrokes?: Compared to microblading, this method is less invasive, reduces scarring risk, and heals faster.

Ombre/Powder Brows
This technique creates a soft, powdered, gradient-effect for fuller, makeup-like brows.

• Ideal For: Those seeking a polished, defined look.

• Lasts: 1-3 years with low maintenance.

• Why Choose Ombre?: It’s minimally invasive, allows for more reshaping, and heals quickly with reduced scarring risk.

Combo Brows
This method combines the two above styles: Hairstrokes (natural, hair-like strokes) and Ombre/Powder shading (soft, gradient fill, typically towards the end).

• Ideal For: A natural front with a polished, defined tail.

• Lasts: 1-3 years with minimal upkeep.

• Why Choose Combo?: It offers the realism of hairstrokes and the definition of shading—perfect for a tailored, multidimensional look.
