The choice of technique depends on your starting point and desired result. We always recommend the technique that we believe will give you the most natural look possible.

If you are in doubt, feel free to send us pictures of your eyebrows – without makeup of course, so we can assess which technique will make the most sense for you.

Briefly about each technique:

Microblading: The technique is popular because it looks like real hair, which is why it is also called “hairstrokes”. The technique is best for those who already have eyebrows, as it is important to have some hair yourself. Otherwise, the technique can quickly look too “drawn” or “empty” when you have none. If you have no hair on your eyebrows yourself, a combination eyebrow is recommended, as a mild color/shadow will then be added between the hairs themselves (microblading), to give it a more natural expression of a full eyebrow. This way you avoid it looking too drawn because you have no hair yourself.

Microblading is done with a manual tool. The tool has small needles that form a U. The tool is dipped in a little color, and then deposited into the skin. You do NOT cut, but “scratch” the color into the skin, i.e. each time you make a stroke, you lightly scratch the skin. When the needles are lightly run over the skin, they resist, which is why you can hear a “scratch” sound.

All practitioners have their own unique craft. Since it is a manual tool, you control everything from the depth of the skin to the design. Therefore, you should always choose your practitioner based on the craft you like best. A good tip is also to look at the healed results, as this gives you a more realistic picture of what the brows will look like when they are completely finished.

The technique gives the most hyper-realistic and lifelike result, as you "tattoo" small, fine strands in the general direction of the client's own hair.

Combination/Hybrid Eyebrows: Anyone can get a combination eyebrow, but the technique is really for those who don't have much or no eyebrows naturally. However, there are several ways to perform the technique.

The treatment consists of two techniques: microblading and soft shading (can also be called powder), i.e. both a manual tool is used to create the whiskers and then a machine to add shading.

You start by microblading the brow, then add shading, which is a gentle shadow or color. There are several ways to create a combination brow, but usually microblading is done on the entire brow, and shading is added in areas where more fullness is desired, for example if there are gaps in the brow or if areas of the brow are desired to be more defined.

An example would be if there is a large gap in the brow that cannot be completely covered with microblading alone. In this case, shading can be added to fill it in. The result will still be natural.

If you are in a situation where you are in doubt whether to choose microblading or combination eyebrows, you can always start with microblading, as you can always build up the eyebrows. You can always build up a microblading eyebrow, so if you want to turn it into a combination eyebrow for your aftercare, you can easily do so.

Powderbrows/soft shading: This technique is best for those who want a lightly made-up look, as it does not look like real hair, but is just pure shadow or color throughout the brow. The technique is therefore not as natural as microblading/combination brows, but it still gives a soft result, i.e. it is not a completely tattooed look that you get.

Powderbrows are done with a machine that is connected to a power supply. The machine is a handpiece that has a small motor that makes the needle move up and down. The needle is dipped into the color, which is guided into the skin.
