Combo Brow
Combo Brows are a semi-permanent eyebrow enhancement technique that combines the realism of microblading with the soft definition of Ombré Brow shading. This method features delicate, hand-crafted hair strokes at the front of the brows paired with gentle machine shading through the arch and tail, creating depth, dimension, and a polished yet natural finish.
This technique is ideal for clients who want the best of both world’s natural-looking strokes with added fullness and longevity. Each treatment is fully customized through detailed consultation and brow mapping to ensure balance, symmetry, and pigment selection that complements your facial features, skin tone, and personal style.
Who Are Combo Brows For?
Combo Brows are ideal for clients who:
- Want natural hair strokes with added definition
- Have sparse or uneven brows that need more structure
- Prefer a soft makeup-enhanced look
- Have normal to combination skin types
- Want longer-lasting results than microblading alone
This technique offers versatility and is especially suitable for clients seeking a refined, dimensional brow appearance.

Before your combo brow appointment
To ensure the best outcome, please follow these guidelines:
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications 24 hours prior
- Do not wax, thread, or tint brows for at least 3–5 days before

Following pre-care instructions helps improve pigment retention and healing.
After care
Proper aftercare is essential for optimal healing and longevity:
- Keep brows clean and dry during the initial healing period
- Avoid touching, scratching, or picking the treated area
- Do not apply makeup or skincare products to the brow area until healed
- Avoid sweating, saunas, swimming, and sun exposure for 7–10 days
- Allow any flaking or scabbing to heal naturally
Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided at your appointment.
Healing Process & Results
Immediately after treatment, brows will appear darker and more defined. As healing progresses, the color will soften and blend naturally with your skin and existing brow hair.
- Initial healing: 7–10 days
- Full healing: 4–6 weeks
- Results typically last 18–24 months, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare
A touch-up appointment is recommended to perfect and maintain results.
Touch-up & maintenance
A touch-up appointment is typically recommended 6–8 weeks after the initial session to reinforce pigment, refine strokes, and perfect shading. Maintenance sessions every 1–2 years help keep brows looking fresh and defined.
