THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BROWS
WHAT IS MICROBLADING?
A Nano Brow, or machine hairstroke brow, is a technique that uses a single needle tattoo cartridge to create hairstrokes. The result is very natural and looks/heals similarly to microblading. Machine hairstrokes allow for a super natural flow that integrates with existing brow hair seamlessly. Machine hairstrokes can be used instead of microblading in a combination brow. There are two types of combination brow: the first has strokes throughout the front half of the brow, and shading throughout the tail. The second has strokes just in the front of the brow, and only shading throughout the rest. Lasts 2-3 years before needing touch up, depending on your skin type.
Best for those who want a natural looking brow, or for those who have little natural brow hair/sparse areas. Suitable for all skin types, including combination/oily or aging skin.
Machine hairstrokes are a newer technique that creates less trauma to the skin than microblading, and can be touched up over time with much less risk of scar tissue.
An powder brow is a fully shaded brow that is darkest at the tail and lightest/softest at the front. A machine creates small dots under the skin, mimicking powder makeup.
Ombré brows can be as soft or as bold as you like, and are very customizable! For clients that like a bold, filled in brow, shading can be built up to give a crisp and defined appearance. For clients that want a natural and soft brow, shading can be done minimally with no harsh edges to create a super beautiful, natural look!
This style is ideal for all skin types. It can actually look just as natural, if not more natural, than microblading. If you have oily/combination skin, large pores, or sparse areas of hair, microblading would not heal well and can look very unnatural. An ombré powder brow heals evenly on these skin types and looks beautiful! Please note: fully shaded brows look dark and intense at first, but soften a LOT as they heal.
This type of brow lasts the longest and ages very well. It creates the least amount of trauma to the skin and is a great option for the long term.
WHAT IS A POWDER BROW?
Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo, done with a small handheld blade. This tool is used to deposit pigment in thin lines under the skin. The results of microblading mimic hair strokes; most people will never know that your brows aren’t naturally fabulous! Lasts 2-3 years before needing touch up, depending on your skin type.
Microblading is meant to create the appearance of full brows. It is best for clients with already full brow hair, looking for more definition and added fullness. Microblading is not a good option for clients with sparse areas or little natural hair growth.
Microblading is best for normal/dry, young skin. If you have combination/oily or aging skin, microblading might not be a good option for you. If you are looking for natural results, but aren’t an ideal candidate for microblading, don’t stress! Super natural results are still very possible with a combination brow, powder brow or machine hairstroke brow.
Please note: over time, with multiple touch ups, microblading is very likely to blur together. This happens sooner on clients who have oily skin, mature skin, spend a lot of time in the sun, or use retinols/AHAs. After 2-5 touch ups, it is best to switch to a hybrid or powder brow or to achieve better long term results & avoid excess scar tissue.
WHAT IS A NANO BROW?
WHAT IS A HYBRID BROW?
A hybrid brow is microblading strokes plus shading. There are two types of combination brow: the first has strokes throughout the front half of the brow, and shading throughout the tail. The second has strokes just in the front of the brow, and only shading throughout the rest. Lasts 2-3 years before needing touch up, depending on your skin type.
Extremely customizable, best for those who want a natural result with extra fullness, or a stronger, more defined brow that looks more filled in. Also works well for those who have little natural brow hair/sparse areas. Suitable for normal/dry skin and combination skin, sometimes aging skin on a case by case basis.
common questions
AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR
PERMANENT MAKEUP?
Please read the list of factors that affect permanent makeup candidacy:
Pregnancy / Breastfeeding: Permanent makeup cannot be performed until you are no longer pregnant or breastfeeding.
Botox: Wait 1 month before permanent makeup.
Diabetes: Must have doctor’s approval.
Cancer: Must have doctor’s approval.
Abnormal Heart Condition: Must have doctor’s approval.
Facial or eye surgery of any kind: Wait a minimum of 30 days before permanent makeup.
Accutane or topical acne treatment: Must wait ONE YEAR after accutane. Topical treatments must be stopped at least 30 days before permanent makeup.
Chemical peel, retinoids, glycolic acid, or alpha hydroxyl: Must stop using 30 days before brow procedure, 2 weeks before lip procedure.
Prone to keloids: Microblading cannot be performed. Seek a dermatologist’s opinion for other permanent makeup procedures.
Waxing/tanning: Avoid for 2 weeks prior to permanent makeup and 3 days after healing process is complete.
Brow Tint: Wait 2 weeks before brow procedure.
Allergy to Lidocaine, alcohol: Numbing cream may not be used. Permanent makeup can still be performed, but may be more painful.
Allergy to metals: Must schedule a patch test before permanent makeup to determine if any allergic reaction to ink occurs.
Blood Thinners: Must wait 24 hours after taking any blood thinning medication (aspirin, ibuprofen, alcohol, vitamin E or B5, etc).
WILL PERMANENT MAKEUP REPLACE MY NORMAL BROW MAKEUP?
Permanent makeup can do amazing things for your brows. However, I like to say that it is LOW maintenance, not NO maintenance! Permanent makeup goes underneath the skin, whereas makeup sits on top. Naturally, it can not do the exact same thing as makeup.
To create a brow with the lowest maintenance possible, I always aim for a shape that does not stray too far outside of where your natural hair grows. The difference between natural hair growth and permanent makeup becomes more obvious with fading. Fading is expected, and your brows will need to fade at least 50% before you see more for an annual touch up. During this time, you may wish to fill in your brows a bit or use a tinted brow gel.
HOW DO I BOOK AN APPOINTMENT?
All bookings are done through this website. Please fill out the appointment form found under the “Book a Service” button. It is important that you fill out this form entirely! You can then book your appointment through the “Book Now” button found on the “Book Permanent Makeup” page.
WHAT IF I GET COLD SORES (LIPS)?
You can still receive lip blush even if you get cold sores / fever blisters. You must take an antiviral medication pre and post procedure to help prevent the outbreak of cold sores. Please read the before care section on this prior to booking an appointment.
If you experience frequent outbreaks, please note that lip blush can only be done after 4 weeks from your most recent outbreak.
I’VE HAD PERMANENT MAKEUP DONE BEFORE, CAN I BOOK AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOU?
If you have had permanent makeup done on your brows in the past, I will need to see pictures to determine if I can work over it. Please email current, clear photos of your brows, in bright lighting, to info@wildvioletcha.com, before booking an appointment.
Typically, I require old permanent makeup to be at least 50% faded before I will work over it - however, the existing pigment shape and color also influence the possibility of new permanent makeup. If I don’t think that your desired results can be achieved with your existing work, I will recommend options for removal or fading the ink more quickly.
WHAT COULD CAUSE POOR HEALED RESULTS?
Oily Skin: Excess oil in the skin can cause microblading to fade or blur, or not stick at all. If you have combination or oily skin, a combination brow, machine hairstroke or ombré powder brow is the best option for you.
Sun: Exposing your permanent makeup to the sun can cause premature fading.
Purchase Cannasmack Ink Guard on Amazon to apply to your brows and protect your investment! For lips, any lip balm with sunscreen works!Excessive Bleeding: If you bleed more than usual during the procedure, this can cause pigment to fade faster and retain less than normal. Some people do bleed more than others, but it is very important to follow proper before care to prevent excess bleeding. This includes avoiding blood thinners, caffeine, and alcohol in the 24 hours before your appointment.
Improper Before/After Care: Not following the given instructions WILL affect your healed results. I see the best healed results on those who followed before/after care perfectly! 50% of your results are my work, and 50% is how you care for your permanent makeup at home. Please follow before and after care EXACTLY to ensure good results!
DO YOU OFFER CONSULTATIONS?
I do offer 15 minute consultations for those who are more comfortable meeting me and discussing options in person before booking appointment.
However, a lot of common questions and concerns can be addressed without a consult! When you fill out a new appointment request form, I will have you send me current photos along with inspiration photos. We will then discuss options before setting up your appointment!
SHOULD I SCHEDULE AROUND MY MENSTRUAL CYCLE?
5 days before, during, and 5 days after your menstrual cycle you will be more sensitive and experience more discomfort and bleeding during the procedure.
You are also more likely to experience premature color loss because of this, especially with lip blush. Please try to avoid scheduling an appointment during these days if possible, it is highly recommended!
DID MARIS USED TO WORK AT HIGHBROW?
Yes, for over 3 years Maris worked alongside the team at Highbrow. Although she enjoyed her time working at another studio, in 2023 Maris realized she was ready to own her own studio again and founded Wild Violet.
If I was a client at Highbrow, can I book a color boost? Yes! You may book a color boost with Maris. Once a client, always a client! If you had work done elsewhere, not by Maris, you would book a ‘New Treatment’. If you have had work done with other artists from the old studio, you may be able to have a ‘Color Boost’ not a new treatment. Please email us if this is the case to confirm.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Permanent makeup fades over time. The rate at which your permanent makeup will fade depends on your skin type, age, lifestyle, metabolism, medications, and sun exposure.
Touch ups are expected and necessary for permanent makeup. Following before and aftercare instructions are essential in achieving the best healed results, in addition to receiving touch ups every 2-3 years.
Please note: results vary and cannot be guaranteed, due to the nature of the skin’s healing process. A touch up is required 6-12 weeks after your initial appointment to assess results, make any necessary adjustments, and perfect your results!
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCEDURE TAKE?
Your appointment will be booked for 2.5-3 hours. Usually, about 45 minutes to an hour of this time consists of a mini consult, pre-drawing the shape and fine tuning it until it’s perfect. The procedure itself takes about 1-1.5 hours. Touch-up appointments generally take 1-1.5 hours.
DOES IT HURT?
BROWS: The level of discomfort varies from person-to-person, but generally, the pain is minimal. Your skin will be numbed before and during the procedure to minimize any pain. Some people even fall asleep! You can expect redness and mild swelling after your appointment, and it may feel like a sunburn around your brow area. This should only last a few days at most.
LIPS: The level of discomfort varies from person-to-person, but generally, the pain is minimal. To alleviate possible discomfort, a strong topical anesthetic can be applied during the procedure. Part of the session is done without topical anesthetic and preferably the entire session, but if you cannot sit well, topical numbing can be applied once to ease discomfort. Over applying numbing hardens the skin and can actually lead to more discomfort and swelling. Please do not take any blood thinners such as Ibuprofen and Aspirin 24 hours before. Tylenol can be taken 30 minutes before your treatment without any contraindications.
DOES EVERYONE NEED A TOUCH UP?
You very likely will need a touch up. Within the first two weeks of the initial procedure the color fades as much as 30-40% and the area might look patchy and uneven.
After this period, typically between 6-12 weeks, a required follow-up appointment is done. The touch-up procedure takes much less time than the initial appointment. The touch up is also an opportunity to make any adjustments to the shape or color.
WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?
We ask that you please reschedule or cancel at least 48 hours before the beginning of your appointment. Any cancellation or reschedule made less than 24 hours will result in a cancellation fee.

JEWELRY care
CARING FOR PERMANENT JEWELRY:
You can clean your permanent jewelry with warm water, a soft toothbrush and mild dish soap. Jewelry polishing cloths also work great to get them polished up and back to their super shiny selves!
14K GOLD FILLED
Gold-filled jewelry rarely tarnishes as all the gold content is at the surface and since gold doesn’t tarnish, neither should gold filled, so you shouldn’t need to clean it very often. Tarnishing can happen under extreme circumstances (intense exposure to sulfide will do it). However, jewelry worn on the body often accumulates other grease and grime from normal wear. Follow these cleaning instructions for the best results.
Mild soapy water and a toothbrush - a soft toothbrush and a mild detergent is the perfect combination for cleaning gold-filled jewelry. The detergent can remove residue or fingerprints from the item, and still leave it shiny and bright when it's done. Be sure the toothbrush is soft or it may scratch your piece! Shine softly with a jewelry polishing cloth to finish. Remember, gold filled jewelry has a heavy gold plating, so if you use a polishing cloth too harshly, it will rub off layers of the plating.
Caring for Sterling Silver Jewelry:
If not cared for properly, even high-end sterling silver jewelry can appear a little discolored or dirty over time.
Tarnish occurs when oxygen or sulfur makes contact with silver.
Avoid corrosion. Try not to get chemicals, lotion, chlorine, and perfume on your jewelry.
Polish with a jewelry cloth from time to time to prevent tarnish.
We want you to love your new jewelry and will be available to answer any questions or concerns you may have following your appointment.. We are so grateful to have you as a client! Enjoy your new beautiful jewelry!
