Combo Brows with Machine Hair Strokes ✨

I have quietly offered this services on a very limited basis for years, but avoided posting it publicly or encouraging it because not everyone is a candidate for healed hairstrokes. Most of my clientele is better suited for and expecting the healed result of ombré.

This lovely lady, however, was the PERFECT candidate 🤍

With the hairstroke trend making a strong comeback, I know many of you are asking about this style, so I want to set realistic expectations upfront:

✨ BEST candidates:
• Minimal sun damage
• Tight skin/smaller pores
• Balanced natural brow hair
• Little to no previous work
• Healthier skin overall
Most importantly REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

🚫 NOT ideal for:
• Thin, crepey, ruddy, blotchy or heavily sun-damaged skin
• Oily or textured skin
• Dense hair or/and misshapen “tadpole” brow patterns from overplucking trends
• Heavy old work in the front of the brows or huge missing patches of hair
• Clients expecting crisp hairstrokes forever - not a realistic expectation

Fresh hairstrokes ALWAYS heal softer and not quite as crisp as they are when they are fresh. Also, this is not microblading it’s all by machine.

If I recommend ombré brows instead, it is not a downgrade. Ombré brows are still my #1 recommendation for most clients because they age beautifully and heal more predictably long term. Ps ombre is what I have on my own face. ✨
Again, as I’ve told so many… you can always make a few swipes of a hair-stroke brow pen in the front of your ombré brows when you want that look.

📣Combo brows are priced higher due to the added detail and time required.

If this is the style you are after, you can always text us a full face photo in natural light without brow makeup and we can tell you if you are a candidate or not. 🫶🏼

This time of year is honestly one of the BEST times for lip blushing healing. Warmer months typically mean lips heal a little easier and faster thanks to the extra humidity in the air and less dry indoor heater air constantly pulling moisture from the lips. Less dryness= easier lip healing. 👏🏼
