the difference between microblading and nano brows

MICROBLADING

Microblading is a manual permanent makeup technique. A handheld tool containing a grouping of very fine needles is used to create hairstrokes and deposit pigment into the skin.

Microblading can create beautiful, natural-looking results when performed on an appropriate candidate, but it isn't necessarily the ideal technique for every skin type.

​

It tends to be better suited to healthy, normal-to-dry skin with smaller pores. Skin type, age, oil production, previous permanent makeup, and the condition of the skin can all influence how hairstrokes heal and age over time.

NANO BROWS

Nano Brows create hairstrokes using a permanent makeup machine and needle cartridge rather than a manual microblading tool.

​

Each hairstroke is carefully built with the machine to mimic the direction, movement, and appearance of natural brow hair.

This gives me a high level of control over the pattern, placement, and density of the strokes and allows me to customize the technique based on the individual client's skin and natural hair growth.

​

Nano Brows can be suitable for a wide variety of clients, including many with combination or mature skin. Skin type still matters, however, and some clients may achieve better healed results with additional shading or a different brow technique.

WHY I CHOOSE NANO BROWS

After years of working in permanent makeup, I chose to specialize in machine hairstrokes because of the control, customization, and hyper-realistic results I'm able to create with the technique.

​

My goal isn't to create perfectly identical strokes or use the same brow pattern on every client. I look at your natural hair growth, facial structure, skin type, existing brow hair, and personal preferences to design a pattern specifically for you.

​

For clients who want more density or definition than hairstrokes alone can provide, I may recommend Nano Combo Brows, which combine machine hairstrokes with soft shading

.

And for clients who prefer a more polished or makeup-inspired result, Ombre Brows may be the better option.
