Nano Brows is an advanced cosmetic technique that creates ultra-fine, hair-like strokes, mimicking the natural growth pattern of eyebrow hairs. This method is renowned for its precision and ability to achieve hyper-realistic results, making it one of the most sought-after techniques for brow enhancement. The fine strokes blend seamlessly with your natural brows, creating a fuller, more defined appearance that still looks soft and natural.
Unlike traditional microblading, which uses a manual tool to create incisions in the skin, Nano utilizes a tattoo machine with a single needle. This approach allows for greater control and accuracy, reducing skin trauma and promoting healthier long-term pigment retention. The Nano technique is particularly beneficial for clients with oily or sensitive skin, as it ensures better pigment adherence and longer-lasting results compared to microblading.
Nano Brows are highly customizable, allowing for a wide range of styles, from a soft, natural look to a more defined and structured brow. The procedure begins with a detailed consultation and brow mapping process to determine the ideal brow shape, thickness, and arch that best suits your facial features and personal style. Each stroke is meticulously placed to enhance your natural brow shape, creating a beautiful, dimensional effect that can be tailored to you.
Ideal For: Clients who desire a natural, full, and dimensional brow appearance. Suitable for all skin types, especially those with oily or sensitive skin, as an alternative to microblading.
Longevity: Nano Brows can last up to 3 years, depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. A 6-8 week touch-up is included with this service to perfect the look and address any minor adjustments. If an additional touch-up is desired, it must be done 4-6 weeks after the included touch-up for an additional $100. Any touch-up beyond this point will be considered a maintenance service and charged accordingly.

PROCESS
Consultation: Your journey to perfect brows begins with an in-depth consultation, where we discuss your desired brow shape, style, and overall look. We'll assess your natural brows, skin type, and facial features to ensure the Nano technique is the best option for you.
Mapping and Design: The next step is the brow mapping process, where we meticulously measure and outline the ideal brow shape using specialized tools. This step is crucial for achieving symmetrical and balanced brows that complement your unique facial structure. We take into consideration factors such as your natural brow shape, bone structure, and facial symmetry to create a tailored design. You'll have the opportunity to review and approve the design and color before we proceed, ensuring you're completely satisfied with the planned shape and style.
Application: Once the mapping is complete and approved, we proceed with the Nano Brows application. Using a tattoo machine with a fine, single needle, we implant pigment into the outer layers of the skin. After the outline and first layer are completed, a high-quality numbing agent is applied to ensure your comfort during the remainder of the procedure. Each stroke is carefully crafted to mimic the natural direction and growth pattern of your eyebrow hairs. This precise technique minimizes skin trauma and allows for a quicker healing process.
Aftercare: Proper aftercare is essential for achieving the best results with Nano Brows. You'll receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and pigment retention. This includes guidelines on how to care for your brows in the days and weeks following the procedure, such as avoiding water, sun exposure, and certain skincare products.
Touch-Up: A 6-8 week touch-up is included with this service to perfect the brows and address any minor fading or adjustments. If you feel that an additional touch-up is needed, it must be done 4-6 weeks after the included touch-up for an additional $100. Any touch-up beyond this point will be considered a maintenance service and charged accordingly.
MAINTENANCE
Due to the nature of permanent makeup gradually fading over time, it’s essential to schedule maintenance appointments to keep your Nano Brows looking fresh and defined. While pigment is long-lasting, it’s not truly permanent — fading occurs gradually depending on your skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, and skincare products. We typically recommend booking a maintenance session every 12 to 18 months, or once your pigment has faded by 50–75%, depending on how refreshed you’d like your brows to appear.
Maintenance Pricing:
Within a year $350: A discounted rate for clients maintaining their brows within a year of their initial session.
Over 1 year $400: A slightly higher rate for clients who return after a year, ensuring the brows are refreshed and any minor fading is corrected.
If your Nano Brows have faded significantly beyond 2 years, a full initial session may be necessary to restore the desired look. Regular maintenance not only preserves the integrity of your brows but also prolongs the lifespan of the pigment, keeping them looking flawless throughout the years.

Permanent makeup is a beautiful investment that naturally fades over time, with the duration varying based on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and skincare routines. We provide an estimate of how long your service might last, but each individual’s experience can be different—some clients may notice fading sooner, while others may retain their results longer. Oily skin, frequent facials, the use of skincare products like retinol or acids, and activities that cause excessive sweating can accelerate the fading process. We recommend scheduling maintenance appointments only once the pigment has faded by 50-75% to ensure your look remains natural and fresh. Touching up too soon or too often can lead to oversaturation, causing the pigment to blur or create a ‘blocky’ appearance. If your brows or other PMU areas are still holding well, there's no rush to book a refresher. Allowing your permanent makeup to fade naturally helps maintain that crisp, defined look without the risk of overworking the skin. If you're unsure whether you're ready for a touch-up, feel free to reach out with photos, and we’ll guide you on the best timing for your maintenance.

FAQ
-
Yes, all clients should book a consultation to discuss preferences and goals. During this session, we'll evaluate your skin type, lifestyle, skincare routine, expectations and natural brow shape to determine the most suitable approach for you. Nano is a specialized procedure, and not everyone is an ideal candidate. If you have previous work, a consultation is required.
-
Nano Brows is a permanent makeup technique that uses a machine to create tiny, hair-like strokes, resulting in natural, full, and dimensional brows.
-
Nano Brows are a semi-permanent procedure, meaning they will fade over time. Most clients can expect their Nano Brows to last anywhere from 1-3 years, depending on factors such as skin type (normal, oily, dry), age, and lifestyle. Clients with oily skin or larger pores may experience faster fading due to increased oil production and skin turnover. Additionally, lifestyle choices such as frequent sun exposure, use of skincare products containing retinoids, AHA, or Glycolic Acid, and even exfoliating treatments can accelerate fading, as they cause the skin to regenerate faster. Color retention varies from person to person, and factors such as your skin's ability to hold pigment, your skincare routine, and even environmental factors can play a role in how long your Nano Brows will last. Regular touch-ups can help maintain the look over time.
-
Nano Brows are suitable for all skin types, including sensitive or oily skin, and are ideal for clients looking for a natural, hyper-realistic brow effect. However, not everyone is a candidate for Nano Brows. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 18 years old are not eligible for permanent makeup services. Clients with previously tattooed eyebrows may not qualify depending on the level of pigment or scarring. If you've recently had Botox in the forehead or brow area, it's important to wait 3-4 weeks before scheduling your appointment. Those using Retin-A, Accutane, or any acne medications should consult with their physician before booking, as these can impact the skin's healing process. If you're unsure about your candidacy, please contact me directly for a consultation before booking.

Unlike Microblading, which uses a manual pen tool to create hair-like incisions, Nano Brows use a machine to implant pigment into the skin. Nano Brows tend to be gentler on the skin and are better suited for sensitive or oily skin types.

Pain tolerance varies for each individual, so the experience of discomfort during the Nano Brow procedure can differ. Many clients describe the sensation as a light scratch or similar to eyebrow threading. To minimize discomfort, a high-quality topical numbing cream is applied throughout the procedure. While the first pass may cause mild discomfort for some, most clients rate the experience as a 2-3 on a scale of 1-10. By the second pass, the numbing takes full effect, making the procedure much more comfortable. It's also normal to experience physical responses like sneezing or eye watering due to the proximity to your brow area. The sound of the machine may be more noticeable than the actual sensation, but feel free to bring headphones or listen to music to help you relax during the process. If at any point you feel uncomfortable, don’t hesitate to ask for a break!
-
Please avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood thinners for at least 48 hours before your appointment—yes, that means no coffee on the day of! Come prepared with makeup on if you usually wear any and reference photos, as this helps guide the design process. You're welcome to bring headphones if you prefer your own music, though I’ll have some playing in the studio to help set a relaxing atmosphere. The studio can be cold at times, so dress accordingly as we cannot provide blankets during the procedure. Be sure to follow the full precare instructions to ensure the best results!
-
Healing time can vary from person to person, depending on skin type and individual healing processes. Most clients will experience a fully healed brow within 10-14 days. In the first few days, it’s normal for your brows to appear darker and slightly red as they begin the healing process. This is completely expected. It’s important to avoid wearing makeup or applying any products on your brows for at least 7 days to allow proper healing. If you have upcoming events, I recommend scheduling your session well in advance to ensure your brows are fully healed.
-
The procedure typically takes around 3-3.5 hours, which includes the consultation, numbing, design, and the actual application process.
-
A touch-up is included with your service to ensure the best possible results. Sometimes, certain areas may heal lighter or patchy, which is completely normal and can depend on your skin type or how your skin retains pigment. At the included touch-up session, scheduled 6-8 weeks after the initial procedure, I’ll double-check everything to ensure your brows are healing perfectly. If everything looks flawless, you’ll be good to go! However, if any areas need a little more pigment or adjustment, we’ll take care of it during that session to achieve the perfect end result. Clients with oily skin or previous permanent makeup may require more adjustments.
An additional touch-up can be booked 4-6 weeks after the included one for $100. Anything beyond this timeframe will be considered a maintenance and charged accordingly.
-
Everyone’s healing process is unique, but how well you follow the aftercare instructions plays a big role in how your brows heal. If you closely follow the detailed aftercare guide you’ll receive after your Nano Brows procedure, you should experience minimal scabbing. It’s normal for your brows to appear darker in the first few days, but this will lighten as they heal. Avoid saunas, pools, or strenuous workouts until your brows are fully healed. Do not pick at or remove any scabs, as this can affect the final result. It’s also important not to over-moisturize with ointment—apply it lightly and gently dab the area afterward to keep your brows relatively dry.
-
Yes! If you have previous permanent makeup, you may still be a candidate for Nano Brows. However, it depends on how much your previous pigment has faded. If the previous pigment is light enough, we can often work over it to create a fresh, natural look. My priority is always to achieve natural, beautiful results, so if your old pigment is too saturated (appears more like a dark tattoo than natural skin) or has turned blue/gray or another unusual color, we may need to remove the old pigment first. In such cases, I recommend a safe removal process, like saline or laser removal, to help start fresh.
If you're unsure about whether you’re a good candidate, feel free to send me a photo of your brows, book a consultation or fill out a form and I’ll guide you through the best next steps!
