Question 1

WHAT IS COMBO BROWS ?

Accepted Answer

This is a combined eyebrow tattoo technique of both microblading and powder brows. This is the most popular service and is great for those that like the look of hair strokes but crave more density and less ‘empty’ space between each hair stroke from just microblading alone. This can look extremely natural and works well on most skin types.  Once hair strokes are carefully placed throughout your eyebrows by microblading, we then use a tattoo machine to create tiny pixelated dots in between each hair stroke to fill it with the soft powder effect or to create a powder effect towards the brow tails leaving the head of the brows only microbladed. The possibilities are endless!

Question 2

WHO IS COMBO BROWS FOR ?

Accepted Answer

Combo brows are good for most healthy skin tyes. There are different elements to consider such as skin condition & health for which technique we will use. If you’ve had Alopecia or Chemoptherapy you may need a full shaping with the powder technique.

• Normal to Dry Skin: You’re an ideal candidate for microblading,
powder & combo. In most cases the hair strokes should heal crisp and easily.

• Oily Skin: You’re an ideal candidate but you can expect the
hair strokes to heal with a slight blur with microblading. Powder
or Combination brows will be a better option for your skin type.

• Extremely oily skin/large pores: You’re not the best candidate
for microblading you can expect the hair strokes to heal with
a diffused look. Your end result will look more powdered.
A Full Powdered brow is recommended.

At Bold, we have very strict guidelines that we follow to decide who is a good candidate for microblading and who should avoid microblading!

Question 5

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE TOUCH UP ?

Accepted Answer

Do not expect FINAL results after the first session as this is a 2 STEP PROCESS.

The first session is used to build shape and gain symmetry. The touch up is for “perfecting” the brows/adding density and making any changes necessary. The touch up session is done 6-8 weeks later after the first treatment. You must understand that even after the touch up, some still might want to fill in a few spots with makeup, as everyone skin takes the pigment differently, we aim for ‘PERFECTION’ but even this doesn't exist.

Overall you will have much better brows that compliment your face

A touch-up is a must and is not optional
 • Previously tattooed brows, certain skin types / health state/ bad aftercare etc.. may require ONE or a FEW additional touch ups. There is no guarantee.

Question 6

HOW IS THE HEALING PROCESS ?

Accepted Answer

Healing time varies per person & can be prolonged if your immune system is compromised/overly stressed/poor diet/health*

It takes 2 weeks for surface skin to heal & 6-8 weeks for full skin healing.

You may experience the following symptoms for the first few days: 
- Minor swelling and redness, mild tenderness or bruising.
- Itchiness in and around the treatment area can last up to 2 months. 
 • DAY 1 Immediately after
brows will appear darker, reddish color,
thicker and more defined looking unnatural.
 • DAY 2 -4 Brows WILL get darker as light scabs form.
 • DAY 4-14 You will experience dry flaking skin (due to scabbing).
When done flaking it will appear muted, greyish and look shiny.
Once fully healed the colour will fade 30-50%, as it starts to soften and look less defined. As the skin sheds, the tattoo may seem to disappear as the colour has not fully settled or surfaced yet. It will take about a month+ for the brows to heal to its true colour.

Do not be concerned once healed if your brows do not look perfectly full and are patchy, this is normal and will be added at the touch-up sessions.

BE PATIENT, your brows will go through several phases during the healing cycle.
