FREQUENTLY asked QUESTIONS

  • Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo technique that uses a handheld tool with ultra-fine needles to create realistic hair-like strokes in the skin. Unlike traditional tattoos, the pigment is implanted more superficially, giving brows a soft, natural finish. It’s an ideal choice for women who want fuller, perfectly shaped brows without the daily hassle of pencils or powders.

  • Nano Brows use a digital machine with a single ultra-fine needle to implant pigment. This allows for even more precision and less trauma to the skin compared to traditional microblading. The results are hyper-realistic, soft, and long-lasting, making Nano Brows a great option for women with thin, sensitive, or mature skin

  • Powder Brows (also called Ombre Brows) create a soft, shaded makeup effect that looks like perfectly filled-in brows. Instead of hair strokes, the technique builds layers of pigment for a defined yet natural look. This style is ideal for women who love a polished, makeup-ready brow every day.

  • On average, results last 3-5 years depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Oily skin types may need more frequent touch-ups. With proper care and yearly color boosts, your brows can stay fresh, defined, and natural for years.

  • Most clients describe the sensation as mild scratching. A numbing cream is applied during the procedure to keep you comfortable. Many clients are pleasantly surprised at how tolerable the process feels.

  • Healing typically takes about 10–14 days. Your brows will go through stages — darker right after the procedure, then some scabbing or flaking, and finally softening into a natural shade. Full healing and color settling happens around 4–6 weeks, which is why a touch-up appointment is scheduled to perfect the results.

  • Yes. The initial perfecting session (usually 8-12 weeks later) ensures your brows heal evenly and the pigment sets beautifully. Without this step, your results may fade too quickly or look uneven. For long-term maintenance, most clients book a yearly color boost.

  • Absolutely — when performed by a licensed and trained professional. At Haven Beauty Collective, I follow strict sanitation and safety protocols, use high-quality pigments, and ensure every client’s skin and health history is carefully reviewed before treatment.

  • To get the best results:

    • Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and blood-thinning medications 24 hours prior.

    • Skip harsh skincare (like retinol or acids) on your brow area for one week.

    • Don’t wax, tweeze, or tint your brows for at least 3 days before your appointment.

    • Arrive with clean skin and no makeup around the brows.

  • This is where my expertise as a professional artist comes in. During your consultation, I analyze your face shape, bone structure, and natural hair growth to design brows that enhance your features. I also use advanced color theory to match pigments that complement your skin tone and hair color — for brows that look like they were always meant to be yours.

  • During the consultation, we will work closely with you to select the perfect brow shape and color that complements your facial features and aligns with your desired style. Your input and preferences are integral to achieving the ideal outcome.

  • No, cosmetic tattooing is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to health and safety concerns.
