Frequently asked questions
Ombré Brows
How long is the healing process?
The ‘Ombré brow’ healing process is usually around 7-10 days although in some cases can be as long as 2 weeks.
Do I need to pluck/wax my brows before my ombré brow appointment?
No, we prefer if you arrive to your appointment having grown out your brows for at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment.
Is the treatment painful?
The pain is very minimal as we numb the brows several times during the procedure. Once the treatment is complete and the numbing has worn off your new brows may feel tender for a few hours after the treatment and this is usually the most ‘painful’ part but we would describe it more as slightly tender and sore rather than painful.
How long do they last?
Ombré brows last between 3-4 years depending on skin type. Clients with oily/combination skin will find they’re brows fade faster in comparison to a client with dry/normal/mature skin which usually has longer-lasting results.
Top-ups are recommended annually if you wish to keep your brows looking defined in which case this will extend the longitivtiy of your brows.
Can I have Ombré brows if I have previously had microblading?
We do offer ‘Correction Work’ however we can only work over very faded microblading/previous pigment. We would need to see photos of your brows before confirming whether this is something we can offer to you.
Can I get Ombré brows while pregnant/breastfeeding?
We cannot carry out ‘Ombré Brows’ on any clients who are pregnant or breastfeeding. This is due to risk of infection.
How long is the Ombré brow appointment?
The ‘Ombré Brow’ appointment is between 2.5hrs-3hrs. The first hour of your appointment will be a consultation to understand what you wish to achieve out of your new brows. During this first hour we also complete a pre-draw of your new brows to ensure you are 100% happy with the shape before proceeding with the treatment.
Can I have get Ombré Brows if I am diabetic?
Yes although healing time for diabetic clients is usually longer than 2 weeks and brows can take multiple sessions to achieve desired outcome.
Can I get Ombré brows if I am on/ or have been taking accurate in the last 6 months?
No, we are unable to carry out ‘Ombré brows’ on clients who have been on accutane in the last 6 months.
Does it matter if I have minimal or no brow hair?
No, Ombre brows is suitable for all brows. They can we very natural if desired or bolder depending on preference but lack of brow hair is not an issue.
I am worried ‘Ombré Brows’ will be too bold and dark for me?
Ombré brows are tailored to each of our clients desired result. They can be as natural or as bold as you desire. We offer a large range of pigment colour to ensure we can cater to all clients.
Ombré brows are a process and can sometimes look slightly bolder than we wish for them to look when freshly done but during the healing process the brows soften and lighten in colour by up to 40% therefore once healed look very natural.
