Nano Brows

Nano brows, also known as nano blading or nano needling, is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing technique used to enhance the appearance of eyebrows. It involves the use of a specialized handheld device equipped with ultra-fine needles—often just a single nano-needle—to deposit pigment into the upper layers of the skin. The process creates precise, hair-like strokes that mimic the look of natural eyebrow hairs, resulting in a fuller, more defined brow shape.

Unlike traditional microblading, which uses a manual blade, nano brows rely on a digital machine, allowing for greater control and less trauma to the skin. This technique is often praised for its precision, natural finish, and suitability for various skin types, including oily or sensitive skin. The results typically last 1-3 years, depending on factors like skin type, aftercare, and lifestyle.

It’s popular among those seeking a low-maintenance solution for sparse, uneven, or over-plucked eyebrows. The procedure usually takes a couple of hours and includes a consultation to customize the shape and color to the client’s preferences.

Natural Look: Nano Brows works best for clients that want a realistic natural look. 

Oily Skin: Nano is better for oily skin since the pigment can be injected deeper and tends not to spread out like Microbladed hairstrokes.

Mature Skin: Nano is better for older clients since the cutting action of Microblading can cause more trauma and is more difficult to heal with more mature skin.

Lighter Skin Tones: Nano works best for lighter skin tones since hair strokes don't show up as well for darker skin tones.  Clients with darker skin tones prefer Ombre or Powder.

Nano Brows hair strokes typically last a little longer then Microblading since the pigment can be deposited a little deeper.  1.5-3 years.  You can also get the Nano Combination which adds shading which last longer than just hair strokes. 2-3 years.  All semi-permanent makeup fades over time so expect to get a touchup ever 2-3 years.

Nano Brows take longer than Microblading, Ombre, and Powder because it is a more precise technique.  Expect 2 hours.

We use numbing cream to minimize the pain so expect a little discomfort, but everybody makes it through ok.  Some people fall asleep.

Master Brows is just our name for the 4 types of brows you can do with our master artists.  Microblading, Combination Brows, Ombre Brows, and Powder Brows.  

Microblading and Nano Brows are both similar in that the are semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing techniques used to enhance the appearance of eyebrows by drawing hair strokes, but they differ in their methods, tools, and results.

Microblading involves using a handheld tool with a small row of fine needles to manually create hair-like strokes by depositing pigment into the skin. It’s a bit like etching—think of it as drawing each stroke by hand. The outcome is crisp, defined strokes that mimic natural eyebrow hairs, making it ideal for those who want a fuller yet still natural look. The process typically goes into the upper layers of the skin, and because it’s manual, the artist has a lot of control over the shape and style.  They typically last 1-3 years.

Nano brows, on the other hand, use a digital machine with a single ultra-fine needle—hence the "nano" name—to implant pigment in a more precise, dot-by-dot or stroke-by-stroke method. It’s less about etching and more about building up the brow with tiny deposits of color. This technique often results in a softer, more powdered finish compared to microblading’s sharper strokes, though skilled artists can still create realistic hair-like effects. Because the machine controls the depth and speed, it can be gentler on the skin, which might mean less trauma and a slightly quicker healing time for some. Nano brows also tend to last a bit longer—up to 2 or 3 years—since the pigment can be placed a tad deeper and more evenly.

So, in short: microblading is manual, stroke-focused, and gives a bold, natural-hair effect, while nano brows are machine-based, versatile, and lean toward a smoother, longer-lasting finish. Which one’s better depends on your skin type—oily skin might hold nano pigment better—and the look you’re going for.  Nano is also more popular for more mature skin because it is less trauma for the skin and heals easier.

The depends on many factors, including the dark your shading.  Typically, clients cannot go from a shading technique to a hair strokes technique because the hair strokes cannot be seen when placed over dark shading.  We would need to evaluate your situation in person to be certain.

Nano is a harder technique and requires a higher skill level to work with the precision required to draw hair strokes when using a digital machine that vibrates.  Microblading uses a hand tool that doesn't vibrate up and down like Nano Brows does.  Also Nano allows the artist more flexibility to do things like creating a more fluffy look.
