Ombré/Powder brows are a permanent cosmetic tattooing technique that creates a soft, powdered look. This technique is different from traditional microblading as it creates a more natural-looking brow. Instead of creating individual hair strokes, the artist uses a stippling method to create a gradient effect, starting with a lighter color at the front of the brow and gradually getting darker towards the tail. The result is a more defined brow that lasts anywhere fro 2 to 4 years. At Silk Lash Lounge, we offer this service to enhance your natural beauty and give you a flawless look.

Ombré brows can last anywhere from 2-4 years depending on a few factors. The first factor is your skin type. If you have oily skin, your brows may not last as long as someone with dry skin. Another factor is sun exposure. If you spend a lot of time in the sun, your brows may fade quicker than if you stay out of the sun. Lastly, the aftercare of your brows plays a big role in how long they will last. It's important to follow the aftercare instructions given to you by your technician to ensure the best results.

Yes, you do. The second session is crucial in ensuring that your ombré brows have the perfect shape, color, and density. During the first session, your Artist will create a base layer for your brows, which will serve as the foundation for the final results. The second session is where we will make any necessary adjustments and touch-ups to achieve the desired look. Skipping the second session may result in uneven or patchy brows that do not match your skin tone or hair color. At Silk Lash Lounge, we want to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your ombré brows, which is why we include your first follow-up appointment for FREE. This free touchup must be completed within 6-10 weeks after your initial session. If you don’t schedule within that time frame you will forfeit the free service and any touch-up after 10 weeks will be charged the full touch up price of $150.

While Ombre brows are suitable for most clients, it is important to consult with a professional before undergoing the procedure. Some factors that may affect the outcome of the treatment include skin type, skin tone, and existing eyebrow hair. Your experienced Artist will assess your individual needs and recommend the best brow technique for you. We also offer complimentary consultations to help you make an informed decision. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or concerns.

While some clients may experience slight discomfort, most report feeling little to no pain during the process.

After the procedure, clients may experience some swelling and redness in the treated area, but this typically subsides within a few days.

Our team at Silk Lash Lounge is committed to providing a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all of our clients.

After getting ombré brows, it is normal to experience some redness and swelling around the treated area. The healing process typically takes about 2-4 weeks, depending on the individual's skin type and how well they follow aftercare instructions. During the first few days, the brows will appear darker and more defined than the final result. This is because the pigment is still settling into the skin and the top layer of skin will begin to peel and flake off. It is important to avoid picking or scratching at the brows during this time, as it can cause uneven healing and potential scarring. It is recommended to avoid intense exercise or sweating for at least a week. Sun exposure, swimming, and saunas, topical lotions, and makeup should also be avoided for at least 3 weeks. Overall, it is important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your technician to ensure the best possible healing and long-term results.

Do not take aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oils, vitamin E, niacin, or drink excessive alcohol at least 48 hours prior to and after your procedure.

Do not take any prescription blood thinners at least 48 hours prior to and after your procedure. Consult with your doctor before stopping any critical medications.

Discontinue any vitamin A skin care products (Retin-A, retinols) close to the enhancement area at least two weeks prior to your procedure. **I recommend NOT using these products over or around the tattooed area after you receive your cosmetic tattoo. It could cause fading and distortion of color.**

Discontinue use of AHA (chemical exfoliation) skin care products close to the area to be tattooed at least one week prior to your procedure.

No laser or electrolysis on or around the treatment area one week prior to procedure.

No Botox or fillers in the procedure area less than one week prior.

Plan trips or events a minimum of 14 days after the procedure. Due to unwanted elements Limit the amount of caffeine you consume the morning of your appointment.

Do not have any chemical peels, dermabrasions, mesotherapy, or any other intense treatments which will cause faster skin cell rejuvenating and cause skin irritation 3-4 weeks before procedure.

If you have been on prescription Accutane in the past, you MUST wait at least one year before considering this procedure.

It is highly recommended that you avoid SUN and TANNING BED exposure for 30 days BEFORE and AFTER your procedure. If you show up for your appointment with a new tan or a sunburn, you will need to reschedule. As your skin exfoliates from a sunburn, it will take the pigment with it.

If you have existing cosmetic tattooing you need to contact me BEFORE booking your appointment.

If you have an ideal shape and color in mind, bring a few reference photos with you to your appointment.

You may fill in your eyebrows as you normally would so we can take into consideration the shape you desire.

If you regularly get your eyebrows shaped, waxed, threaded or tinted, please do so at least 3 days before your appointment.

Aftercare MUST be taken seriously. If you fail to take proper care of your new brows, complications such as infections, prolonged healing and patchiness may occur, all of which will effect the final result of your cosmetic tattoo.

ALWAYS wash your hands thoroughly before touching the tattooed area.

Gently wash the area each morning and night with warm water and gentle soap or unscented cleanser such as Dial Soap, Cetaphil, or baby shampoo. With a very light touch, use your fingertips to gently cleanse the area.

Rinse well to ensure all soap is rinsed away.

Gently pat dry with a CLEAN tissue/towel.

DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or exfoliants.

Apply a tiny, rice grain amount of after care ointment 3 times a day with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated area for the first 3 days.

Be sure not to over-apply, as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The product should be barely noticeable on the skin.

Important Reminders:

Use a fresh pillowcase while you sleep.

Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate away. Picking can cause scarring or loss of pigment.

No facials, botox, chemical treatments or microdemabrasion for 4 weeks.

Avoid hot, sweaty exercise for 1 week.

Avoid long, hot showers for the first 10 days.

Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 10 days.

Avoid face-down swimming, lakes, and hot tubs for the first 10 days.

Avoid topical makeup and sunscreen for 2 weeks.
