The whole point isn't to draw on your brows. It's to have them — softly and naturally, the second you open your eyes.
Our Technique meets your Style.One craft, and four techniques to choose from.
The technique is chosen with you — in studio, against your skin type, and based on how you want your brows to look. The work lasts an average of six months to three years, at which point you have the option to refresh your brows with our Color Boost service.
The Original Hair stroke01 — Microblading
The original hair stroke technique. A handheld blade places fine, individual hair-like strokes into the skin, one at a time — each one following your natural growth pattern. Because every stroke is made by hand, Microblading heals with an organic, hair-like texture that reads as real hair, not pigment.
BEST FORDry to normal skin. Clients with some natural brow hair who want a subtle, natural enhancement. Men who want a natural, masculine shape.
ARTISTSJonny & Lina
The filled-in look That Mimics Makeup02 — Powder Brows
A digital machine deposits diffused pigment as a soft gradient — lighter at the front, fuller through the body and tail. The finish looks like perfectly applied brow powder or pencil — soft, even, no individual strokes. Powder holds its definition on oily and mature skin better than any other technique.
BEST FORAll skin types, especially, mature, and sensitive skin. The only technique we recommend for oily skin. Clients who already fill-in their brows with makeup.
ARTISTSJonny & Lina
The Natural-meets-Makeup Look03 — Combo Brows
Hair strokes through the sparse front of the brow, blended into soft powder shading through the body and tail. Combo pairs the realism of hair strokes where you need them with the definition of shading where you want it — two techniques working as one brow.
BEST FORDry, normal, and combination skin. Clients who want hair detail at the front and definition through the body and tail.
ARTISTSJonny & Lina
The Finest Hair stroke04 — Nano Brows
The most refined hair stroke technique available. A digital machine places each stroke with a single ultra-fine needle — thinner and sharper than a blade, and gentler on the skin. Nano holds its definition on a wider range of skin types than Microblading, and keeps its crispness longer as it heals.
BEST FORMost skin types — especially mature, sensitive, and combination skin. Clients who want the finest, sharpest hair strokes. Clients whose previous Microblading faded quickly. Men who want a natural, masculine shape.

when your pigment becomes the wrong color.Correcting discolored or faded work.
We may be able to correct existing permanent makeup that has developed into an undesirable tone. Every color or gray correction starts with a consultation. Before booking, please text us a clear photo of your brows so we can assess what is possible.
unwanted Brassy Tones01 — Color Correction
Existing pigment can sometimes turn orange, red, pink, or brassy. We neutralize the unwanted tone and rebuild a natural shade that is suitable for your skin. The correction often needs to be layered over several sessions — depending on how saturated the old pigment is. Before booking, please text us a clear photo of your current brows so we can assess what is possible for you.
Best ForOld PMU that has turned orange, red, pink, or brassy as it faded.
RequiredPhoto consultation before booking. May need more than one session.
Unwanted Cool Tones02 — Gray Correction
Existing pigment can also become cool in tone — appearing gray, ashy, or blue. The color may read as cold and unnatural against the skin. We warm and re-balance the pigment so the brows look like hair again — not shadow. This is one of the most technical corrections we offer in the studio. Before booking, please text us a clear photo of your current brows so we can assess what is possible for you.
Best ForOld PMU that has healed gray, ashy, blue, and/or cool-toned.
RequiredPhoto consultation before booking. May need more than one session.

How The Appointment goes.Three hours. One chair.
I.
You'll meet your artist, settle in, and complete your paperwork. Then we talk — about the shape, the fullness, the look you're hoping for, and anything you're nervous or unsure about. Every question gets answered before anything else happens.
Consultation
II.
Your brow shape is mapped with measuring calipers — custom to your eyes, nose, and brow bone. Never stencils or freehand. The shape is drawn on with a brow pencil first, and nothing permanent happens until you love what you see. Pigment is selected using color theory against your skin and hair, then tested on your forehead.
Mapping & Color
III.
The first pass feels like a light cat scratch. Numbing cream goes on right after — from there, you won't feel a thing. Most clients relax completely; many fall asleep. We layer pigment slowly, checking in with you as we go. We stop the moment your brows read as full — not filled.
The Work
IV.
You approve your brows in the mirror before you leave — and we don't rush this part. Your aftercare kit and instructions are handed to you in-person — walked through step-by-step. You're never on your own after. Ashleigh, the studio founder & owner, is a text away for anything during the 10-day heal window.
Approval & Aftercare
your Healing Timeline.The full heal — six distinct stages.
Healing isn't a straight line. Color darkens, sheds, then resurfaces over six to eight weeks. Knowing what to expect prevents the panic-text most studios get from clients on day five. Following the aftercare protocol plays a significant role in your healed result.
Stage 01
Day 1
Looking perfect
Brows look bold, defined, and sharp. To most clients, this is the look they came in for. Be ready for change — the next 48 hours will look different, and that's normal.
Stage 02
Day 2
Bolder & possibly red
Pigment may appear bolder than the day before, sometimes with a red or warm cast. This is normal — it's the pigment oxidizing as your skin begins to heal over it. The true color returns as healing completes.
Stage 03
Days 3-4
Darker than the final result
Brows may look about 20% darker than your final result. They will not stay this way. The darker tone is surface pigment that sheds during the next phase.
Stage 04
Days 5-10
Flaky, patchy & itchy
Light flaking begins along the brow. Areas may look uneven or patchy. Do not pick or scratch — wash and apply balm as directed. The wet-heal protocol helps retain your color.
Stage 05
Weeks 2-5
Light & uneven
Brows may appear faded, light, or uneven. Your pigment is still there, sealed under fresh skin. Trust the process — the color resurfaces as healing completes.
Stage 06
Weeks 6-8
Perfecting session
Color has resurfaced. You return for your perfecting session, where any soft spots are filled and the work is set for years. Both visits are included in your price.
A note from Ashleigh
Every new brow service is a two-visit package. Perfecting is not optional — it is how we complete our work. Heal-window questions come to me, Ashleigh — the studio founder & owner. I keep my line open for you so that your artist can stay focused on the chair. Text me anytime at (330) 805-0084. Your aftercare kit will be given to you in-person before you leave the studio.

The most Frequently asked questions.Real questions with honest answers.
-
No. Both artists have trained for years to specifically avoid the drawn-on look. Pigment is placed inside your natural brow shape — never past it. The color will heal softer than it first appears.
-
The fear behind this question is real, and we take it seriously. There are 3 things to know. First, the work looks darker and bolder in the first 7–10 days than it will when healed. Most regrets dissolve once the color softens to its final tone. Second, the perfecting session 6–8 weeks after your initial visit is built into your total price specifically so we can adjust shape, intensity, and/or color before the work is final. Third, 9 years and nearly 4,000 clients later, the times we've had to course-correct a healed result can be counted on 1 hand. If you're nervous, text us a photo of your current brows and your reference photos before booking.
-
Pick by technique. If you want Nano or if you're a male client, you're with Jonny. If you want Microblading, Powder, or Combo and don't have a strong preference, both artists deliver excellent work. Jonny is our most senior artist, and Lina has years of experience refining her technique on Charleston's hardest skin types.
-
Most clients describe the feeling as a cat scratch — fully tolerable. Numbing is applied after the brow is outlined. Many people fall asleep during the session.
-
All 4 techniques last an average of 6 months to 3 years depending on your skin type, age, sun exposure, lifestyle, and skincare routine. A yearly Color Boost keeps the work looking fresh, but it is not required.
-
Every new brow service is a layered process. The perfecting session takes place 6–8 weeks after the initial visit, as it evens-out and locks-in the final pigment. Both visits are included in the total price. Yearly refreshes are a single session and are priced separately.
-
Days 1–3 are dark. Days 4–7 are flaky. Days 8–10 are muted. In weeks 6–8, the color blooms back, and you return for your perfecting session. The in-between days are when most clients panic — unnecessarily.
-
Text photos of your existing work to Ashleigh, the studio founder & owner, at (330) 805-0084 before booking. Some prior work can be neutralized or corrected. Some needs laser removal first. We'll tell you what your realistic options are — before you pay a deposit.
-
Our artists block 3 hours of time on their calendars for each appointment. The deposit pays for their lost time in the event of a cancellation or no-show. If you arrive for your appointment, your deposit will be applied to your total cost during checkout.
