What We Offer
Ombre/Powder Brow
A fine mist of color is applied behind your natural brow hair to create soft powdery brows. After years applying makeup to your brows daily, suffering from sparse or uneven brows due to years of over-plucking, or simply having very fair brow hair or little brow definition... Ombre/Powder Brow service could be the answer!
Color Correction
If you have a desired eyebrow shape but the color has faded into unwanted hues like blue, green, purple, or red, we employ a technique to "cover" the old color. Corrective color is tattooed over the faded permanent makeup to neutralize it, followed by the creation of beautiful new natural eyebrows in the same session. The results are immediate! At MainBrows, the likelihood of recurrence is low because we use pigments instead of ink, ensuring the integrity of the true color.
Combination Brows
Lifelike eyebrows using a method called Machine Hair-stroke, also referred to as Nano-Brows. Our Machine Method is exceptionally precise and gentle, allowing us to delicately implant permanent color into the skin. Through meticulous hairline strokes, we replicate individual hairs, achieving a stunning 3-Dimensional appearance.

How We Work
Consultation
We conduct a thorough free consultation to understand each client's individual needs and preferences, ensuring a customized treatment that delivers natural-looking results.
Treatment
My technique starts with a light and natural look, then gradually darkens for touch-ups to achieve your natural-looking brow goal and build your trust in the darkening process. Depending on the treatment, the session can take 3-4 hours.
Touch Up
A touch-up session 4-6 weeks after the initial treatment is recommended to achieve the desired color and shape, ensuring long-lasting, quality results.
Color Correction
Over time, color can fade due to factors such as sun exposure or skincare products. A color correction can help refresh the look of the semi-permanent makeup.

What Others Are Saying About MainBrows
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Semi-Permanent Makeup?
Semi-permanent makeup, also known as ombre or powder brows, is a cosmetic technique that employs tattooing to create makeup-like designs on the skin. This process involves inserting natural pigments into the dermal layer of the skin. It's commonly used for eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip color enhancements. The results can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.
How Long Does Each Procedure Take?
The duration of each semi-permanent makeup procedure can vary. Typically, the initial session lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This includes consultation, colour selection, and the application process. Touch-up sessions, which are usually done a few weeks after the initial application, may take less time. We recommend allocating sufficient time for your appointment to ensure the best possible results.
Is Semi-Permanent Makeup Painful?
The level of discomfort experienced during semi-permanent makeup procedures varies from person to person. Most clients report minimal discomfort. We apply a topical anaesthetic before the procedure to numb the area, which helps in reducing pain. It's important to communicate with your technician throughout the procedure to ensure your comfort. Most of our clients fall asleep!
How Long Does Semi-Permanent Makeup Last?
Semi-permanent makeup typically lasts between 1 to 3 years. The longevity depends on several factors, including skin type, exposure to sun, and skincare routines. Regular touch-ups are recommended to maintain the colour and shape. Over time, the pigment will fade, necessitating a refresh session.
What is the Aftercare for Semi-Permanent Makeup?
Proper aftercare is crucial for the healing process and longevity of semi-permanent makeup. After the procedure, avoid getting the area wet for at least two weeks. This includes sweating and swimming. Apply the aftercare ointment provided as directed, usually twice a day. Avoid sun exposure and refrain from using skincare products containing exfoliants or strong chemicals on the treated area. Full healing typically takes 4 to 6 weeks.
