The WV Signature brow method

  • the wv brow method

    The WV Signature Brow method will create a more even and balanced brow, creating a look that is natural and undetectable. Maris will design a fully customized brow tailored to your unique brows.

    Brows are created techniques which can include freehand stroke work using manual hand tool methods (Microblading), ultra fine micro-shading using digital machine technology (Powder or Nano Brows), or a mix of both techniques (Hybrid Brows) for the most realistic 3D brow appearance.

    All our brows are built over a minimum of 2 sessions to ensure we can understand your skin , color retention and to avoid the appearance of a ‘blocky’ healed brow.

  • INITIAL VISIT - $450

    All our sessions start with a detailed consultation where we discuss your unique brow needs based on style preference, skin type, current brow hair growth pattern and your maintenance preferences.

    We will then pre-draw your brows using make up or pencil to develop the brows of your dreams. Once we are both happy with the pre-draw, Maris will create a custom brow with the desired technique.

    We like to ensure a collaborative process throughout all our sessions and Maris’ philosophy is that less is always more, especially at the initial session.

    ALL BROW SERVICES INCLUDE: Day of consultation, double numbing process, pre-draw design for your approval +custom take-home aftercare kit tailored to your skin type

  • PERFECTION VISIT - $150

    Your second visit with us is just as important as the first! To achieve long lasting and perfected results, your brows will need a second session 6-12 weeks after the Initial. This also allows for any adjustments to shape and pigment to be made. Remember Maris’ philosophy that less is more? This the session that will allow for “more” if needed!

  • ONGOING CARE - $200+

    After your Initial + Perfection Visits are completed, maintenance appointments are usually needed every 1-3 years.

    WV Brows are a permanent makeup procedure that will fade over time, usually lasting around 1-3 years. Color Boosts are necessary to keep the shape and color looking fresh. Time frame is an estimate and varies person to person.

THE TYPES OF BROWS

  • A small tool is used to create strokes that mimic hair. When healed, microblading blends beautifully into your natural eyebrow hair for a “your brows but better” look. Maris specializes in this technique.

    Results last 1-3 years before requiring a color boost, depending on your skin type. Best for clients with already full brow hair looking for more definition & added fullness. Microblading is not a good option for clients with sparse areas or little natural hair growth, and works best for normal/dry, young skin. 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.

  • The latest, best, low trauma hairstroke technique in permanent makeup! Perfect for those wanting the most natural result with a much lower risk of scar tissue than 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 the existing brow hair seamlessly. Can be used in a combination brow (see below) instead of microblading. Best for those who want a natural looking brow, or those who have little natural brow hair/sparse areas. Suitable for all skin types, including combination/oily or aging skin. Lasts 2-3 years before requiring a color boost, depending on your skin type.

  • A Hybrid Brow is microblading or machine hairstrokes plus shading. Maris specializes in this technique.

    There are two types of combination brow: the first has strokes throughout the whole brow, and shading through the outer 2/3. The second has strokes just in the front of the brow, and only shading through the rest. Lasts 1-3 years before requiring a color boost, depending on your skin type. Extremely customizable for a natural result with extra fullness or a stronger, more defined brow that looks more filled in. Works well for those with little natural brow hair/sparse areas. Best for normal/dry and combination skin, sometimes aging skin on a case by case basis.

  • A powder brow, or shading, 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. Shading can be as soft or as bold as you like, and is very customizable. This style is ideal for all skin types. It can actually look just as natural as microblading if that’s your desired look. Please note: fully shaded brows look dark and intense at first, but soften a LOT as they heal.

    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.

  • Oily Skin: increased oil production can cause hairstrokes to blur and heal lighter.

    -Smoking: smokers may notice quicker fading.

    -Sun exposure: increased sun exposure can fade and discolor the pigment. You will want to use SPF on your PMU.

    Bleeding during the procedure: excessive bleeding during the procedure will lead to poor results. While this is not always within our control (like with oily or sensitive skin), it is very important this you follow pre-care guidelines to help minimize bleeding.

    It is crucial that you follow all pre-care and aftercare instructions. If pre-care isn't followed, we will not be able to work on your brows / lips. If aftercare isn't followed, you will not have satisfactory healed results. Please look at the "PRE/POST CARE" tab in the site menu.

  • The pain level for the procedure is considered mild for most clients. Topical anesthetics are used to make sure you comfortable during the procedure; however, pain tolerance varies from client to client.

  • We require anyone who has had their brows/lips previously tattooed/microbladed by another artist to book an in-person consultation before booking an appointment.

    We cannot take all correction cases and will need to see your previous work to determine if we can take you on as a client. Working over previous tattooing is very difficult and can be unpredictable as the type of pigment/method used by the previous artist is unknown.

    Correction appointments are far more time consuming and require higher level of expertise. ANYONE with previous work MUST be pre-approved by Maris prior to booking. If you arrive at your appointment with previous work and did not reach out to us before hand, your appointment will be canceled and you will be charged a cancelation fee.

    We also offer Saline Lighting/Removal for those clients who are not good correction candidates!

  • Factors such as skin type, lifestyle, age, metabolism, medications, and pigment color affect the longevity of your cosmetic tattoo. The sun will also affect the rate at which these pigments are broken down. A touch-up anywhere between 1 to 4 years depending on your skin and lifestyle will be required to keep your brows/lips looking fresh!

  • The initial sessions take about 2-2.5 hours, depending on the type of appointment. During this session, I will shape and style your brows/lips and make any changes needed. We then follow with pigment color selection. Once you are satisfied with the choices, we will apply numbing cream and begin the procedure.

    The second perfecting session takes place 6-12 weeks after the initial session. This session will take approximately 1-1.5 hours to complete.
