PMU

(Semi-permanent Makeup)

Permanent/semi-permanent makeup involves implanting particles of pigment into the skin using sterilized needles. It is also known as cosmetic tattooing. Microblading, Powder Ombré, Nano and Combination Brows are all different forms of eyebrow semi-permanent makeup aka PMU, in which a cosmetic tattoo machine is used to create a light-depth tattoo in the skin that has the appearance of hyperrealistic looking hair strokes and/or soft powdered shaded effect, creating perfectly filled and defined eyebrows. These procedures help enhance and even out brow's natural colour, volume and shape - achieving more symmetrical and balanced features. Although it’s considered “permanent”, permanent makeup does fade over time. Here are the physical differences between the three techniques:

Ombré Powder

Ombré powder brow is created using a tattoo machine. Soft layers of colour are deposited into the skin until the desired colour and dimensions are achieved. The front of the brows are softly faded and transitions darker towards the tails. You can achieve a very soft and natural look or bold and well-defined shape depending on your preferences. This technique lasts the longest and is the ideal option for oily skin type and minimal/no brow hair.

  • Effect: Soft and powdered makeup look

  • Appointment time: 2-3 hours

  • Pain level: Minimal 2/10 (double numbing provided)

  • Healing time: 5-7 days

  • Maintenance: 1st touch up after 4-6 weeks

  • Longevity of result: 2-3 years

  • Healed result: Fades 30-40% when healed

  • Suitable skin type: All skin types

  • Price: $400 CAD

Combo Brows

(Strokes + Shading)

Combo brows are created by combining the microbladed strokes and ombré shading technique. Based off the clients hair growth, we determine where the hair strokes should be placed and then ombre shading is applied to areas which lack hair growth and require more density or depth to create a more balanced even brow. This is best suited for clients who like the hair strokes technique but does not have enough natural hair to blend. It is suitable on most skin types but if you have extremely oily skin, ombré powder may be a better option. 

  • Effect: Natural hair strokes brow front and tail with softly shaded brow body

  • Appointment time: 2-3 hours

  • Pain level: Minimal 2/10 (double numbing provided)

  • Healing time: 5-7 days

  • Maintenance: 1st touch up after 4-6 weeks

  • Longevity of result: 1-3 years depending on skin type

  • Healed result: Fades 30-40% when healed

  • Suitable skin type: Normal to dry skin types 

  • Price: $500 CAD

Korean Air Brows

Korean air/mist brow is an extra soft and diffused version of the powder ombré technique, using custom mixed pigments with the special Korean 3D technique, to fill up the eyebrow design. Laying on lighter colours  on first and then deeper colours on top to illustrate a 3D effect. This creates the 'no makeup makeup' look. The turnaround time for this procedure is only 12 hours - allowing clients to go right back to their regular routine. This technique is best suited for clients who want an ultra natural result.

  • Effect: Ultra soft and naturally diffused shading

  • Appointment time: 2-3 hours

  • Pain level: Minimal 2/10 (double numbing provided)

  • Healing time: 1-3 days

  • Maintenance: 1st touch up after 4-6 weeks

  • Price: $400 CAD

Brow Lamination

Brow lamination uses a safe keratin perming solution to straighten the brow hairs and set them in place. This process can give the appearance of fuller  and defined brows. The final result is a beautifully groomed set of brows that look thicker, and perfectly styled. You can have this done anytime and  also 4 weeks after PMU brow procedure to achieve a fluffy shaded look. Ideal for clients who do not acquire the skin type to do ombre or combo, or require more adaptation before the cosmetic tattoo procedure. 

  • Effect: Full and fluffy, perfectly groomed

  • Appointment time: less than 1 hour

  • Pain level: Zero

  • Healing time: None

  • Maintenance: Can be done 4 weeks after any brow PMU 

  • Longevity of result: 5-7 weeks

  • Healed result: Fuller and thicker brows

  • Suitable skin type: All skin types 

  • Price: $100 CAD
