Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Ombre Brows.

Ombre Brows generally last 12–18 months depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. We recommend a 6–8 week initial touch-up to perfect pigment and an annual refresh to maintain color intensity and the soft gradient effect.

Most clients experience only mild discomfort during Ombre Brows thanks to topical numbing agents. We apply anesthetic before and during the procedure to minimize pain, and many clients describe sensations as light pressure rather than sharp pain.

Yes — Ombre Brows are suitable for oily and sensitive skin, though oily skin may fade faster. Our artists tailor pigment depth and technique to skin type and recommend touch-up timing to ensure even retention and optimal results.

Avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and heavy sun exposure for 24–48 hours before your Ombre Brows appointment. Stop retinoids and exfoliating treatments a week prior. Arrive with clean skin and plan to avoid intense workouts for 48 hours after.

Expect mild redness and scabbing as Ombre Brows heal; color will appear darker initially and soften over 4–6 weeks. Keep brows dry, apply recommended ointment, avoid makeup, saunas, and swimming until fully healed for best pigment retention.

We evaluate existing tattoos or microblading during consultation; Ombre Brows can often be layered over faded work or blended with color correction. In some cases, lightening or removal is advised before shading for the best, even outcome.
