Brow Services
Nano Brows (also known as Nanoblading or Machine Hair Strokes) are the next generation of permanent makeup. Unlike traditional microblading which uses a manual blade, Nano Brows utilize a specialized PMU machine and a single, ultra-fine needle.
This advanced technique allows for incredibly precise, flexible hair strokes that mimic the diameter and flow of your natural eyebrow hair. The result is a hyper-realistic, 3D effect that adds depth, shape, and volume without the "tattooed" look.
-
Superior Skin Integrity: The nano-needle vibrates at a high frequency, depositing pigment precisely into the skin with significantly less trauma than a blade.
-
Longevity & Retention: Because the pigment is placed with machine precision, results tend to last longer—typically 18 to 24 months—and fade more evenly over time.
-
Suitable for All Skin Types: While microblading isn't always ideal for oily or mature skin, the Nano technique is highly effective for almost every skin type.
-
Customized Design: Whether you want to fill in sparse gaps, correct asymmetry, or build an entire arch from scratch, each session is tailored to your unique facial structure.
Achieve a flawless, waterproof, and smudge-proof finish that lasts.
Ombre Powder Brows (often called Shaded Brows or Microshading) is a permanent makeup technique designed to create a soft, misty, powder-filled effect. Unlike the hair-stroke look of Nano Brows, Ombre shading mimics the appearance of professionally applied brow tint or makeup.
The "Ombre" effect is characterized by a gradient transition: the head of the brow is soft and light, gradually deepening into a crisp, defined tail. This technique provides a "polished" look that remains soft and natural once healed.
Top Benefits of the Ombre Technique
-
The "Oily Skin" Holy Grail: Ombre Powder Brows are the most successful technique for clients with oily or combination skin, offering the best pigment retention and longevity.
-
Defined & Symmetrical: Perfect for clients who want a clearly defined shape and a "filled-in" look without the daily hassle of pencils or pomades.
-
Less Invasive: The airbrushed shading technique is gentle on the skin's surface, often resulting in faster healing times and minimal discomfort.
-
Total Customization: We can adjust the density of the shading from "Soft & Airy" to "Bold & Defined" based on your personal style.
Is it right for you?
If you find yourself filling in your brows every morning to achieve a solid shape, or if you have previous permanent makeup that needs color correction or refreshing, Ombre Powder Brows are your perfect solution. Using high-end hypoallergenic pigments and precision mapping, we create a look that enhances your natural beauty 24/7.
High-definition meets hyper-realism for the perfect brow.
Can’t decide between hair strokes or shading? You don’t have to. Combo Brows (also known as Hybrid Brows or Nano-Combo) combine the artistry of Nano Brows with the soft depth of Ombre Shading.
By blending these two advanced techniques, we create a multidimensional look: delicate, machine-made hair strokes are placed at the front of the brow for a natural start, while a soft powder shading is layered through the body and tail for added density and "oomph."
Why Choose the Combo Technique?
-
Dimension & Depth: This is the most "3D" look available in permanent makeup. The shading provides a backdrop that makes the hair strokes pop.
-
Maximum Customization: We can tailor the ratio of strokes to shading based on your natural hair growth. It’s the ultimate fix for sparse brows or patchy areas.
-
Longer Lasting Definition: The addition of shading ensures the brow maintains its shape and "filled-in" look even as the hair strokes naturally soften over time.
-
Perfect for All Occasions: Natural enough for a no-makeup day, but defined enough to look polished for a night out.
Your Custom Brow Design
Every Combo Brow session at Blush & Blade begins with precision brow mapping. We take into account your unique bone structure and facial symmetry. We then use a single-needle Nano technique for the strokes and a specialized shading needle to airbrush the pigment, ensuring a seamless, beautiful gradient.
Stop compromising. Get the texture of real hair and the definition of professional makeup in one single appointment.

High Quality Pigments & Tools
Every permanent makeup brow service at Blush & Blade near St. Pete & Tampa Bay is completed with top-grade cosmetic pigments. I choose pigments that are formulated for safe implantation, long-lasting retention, and natural fade over time.
These high-quality brow pigments ensure your results look soft, natural, and customized to your skin tone and personal style. The right pigment makes all the difference, which is why I only use trusted, professional brands in every brow service.
The Art of Brow Mapping
Every brow service begins with a detailed brow mapping session. This step ensures that your brows are perfectly tailored to your unique facial features, bone structure, and natural symmetry.
Using precise measurements and a customized design process, I map out the ideal brow shape before any pigment is applied. This allows you to see and approve the design in advance, giving you confidence that your new brows will look balanced, natural, and beautifully suited to you.
