Over recent years, brows have become bigger than ever - both literally and figuratively. As a result, people have begun experimenting with various shapes and application methods in search of their perfect brows. We briefly explore which technique is best for you and when to take the leap of faith.
Tattooed brows are the latest craze, as they deliver long-lasting, fuller brows. Ombré brow shading and henna brows are among the most popular brow procedures, but what exactly is the difference between the two?
The Difference Between Ombré Brow Shading and Henna Brows
Ombré Shading (also known as powder brows) is a semi-permanent tattoo treatment performed using a rotary tattoo machine to implant very thin dots of medical-grade pigment into the skin. The result is a gently shaded eyebrow look that resembles the work of a brow pencil. At your appointment we customize the color of the pigment to match your eyebrow and hair color.
Henna brows, however, are a non-permanent, non invasive service that tints and stains the skin beneath your existing brows. After your initial consultation with you on color and shape, the henna is then applied and left to set for up to 15 minutes. The stain on the skin and eyebrow hair resembles that of the ombre effect however only lasts for up to 10 days on the skin and 6 weeks on the brow hairs.

Which Should You Choose?
Now that we’ve established the differences between both treatments, you’re likely wondering which is the better choice. Well, that depends on you - your lifestyle, budget, and brow goals.
