Types of Permanent Makeup Eyebrows
Not all eyebrow permanent makeup is created equal. Linda offers multiple techniques to achieve the perfect look for your face, skin type, and lifestyle. During your consultation, she'll assess your natural brows, discuss your goals, and recommend the best approach for beautiful, long-lasting results.
Microblading
The hair stroke technique for ultra-natural brows.
Microblading creates individual, crisp hair strokes that mimic the appearance of natural eyebrow hairs. Using a precise manual tool, Linda deposits pigment into the upper layers of skin to build dimension and texture stroke by stroke.
Best for:
- Those with normal to dry skin
- Sparse or over-plucked eyebrows
- Anyone wanting a soft, natural hair-like appearance
- People with lighter, finer natural hair
Results last: 12-18 months with proper care
Ideal if you want: Natural-looking definition that looks like real hair, not makeup
Powder Ombré Brows
The soft, makeup effect for fuller brows.
Powder brows create a soft, shaded effect similar to the look of eyebrow powder or pencil. This technique uses a digital machine to deposit tiny dots of pigment, creating a gradient effect that's lighter at the front and gradually darker toward the tail. The result is a soft, powdered makeup look that appears naturally full.
Best for:
- All skin types, especially oily or combination skin
- Those who prefer a more defined, filled-in look
- Active lifestyles (gym, swimming, sports)
- Anyone with existing eyebrow hair who wants more density
Results last: 18-24 months with proper care
Ideal if you want: The look of softly applied eyebrow makeup every day without the work
Combination (Hybrid) Brows
The best of both worlds for maximum dimension.
Combination brows merge microblading hair strokes with powder shading for the most natural, dimensional result. Linda creates fine hair strokes in the front of the brow where hair naturally grows sparser, then adds soft shading through the body and tail for fullness and depth.
Best for:
- Those wanting natural hair-like texture with added fullness
- Brows with uneven hair growth or gaps
- Anyone seeking maximum dimension and realism
- Clients who want versatility in their look
Results last: 18-24 months with proper care
Ideal if you want: The most realistic, three-dimensional eyebrows with both texture and fullness
Brow Shading
Soft fill for added depth and definition.
Eyebrow shading adds depth and fullness throughout the entire brow using a soft shading technique. This creates a polished, groomed appearance with even coverage and smooth color distribution.
Best for:
- Those with existing brow hair who want more definition
- Anyone looking for a filled-in, makeup look
- Mature skin that may not hold hair strokes well
- Oily skin types
Results last: 18-24 months with proper care
Ideal if you want: Polished, defined brows with consistent coverage
Not sure which technique is right for you? During your complimentary consultation, Linda will examine your natural brows, skin type, and lifestyle to recommend the perfect approach. Many clients benefit from a combination of techniques customized to their unique features.
The Permanent Makeup Eyebrow Process
Your journey to beautiful, effortless eyebrows begins with a personalized consultation and continues through careful application and healing. Here's what to expect at every step.
Consultation & Design
Your appointment begins with a thorough consultation where Linda learns about your brow goals, examines your natural brow hair and bone structure, and discusses which technique will give you the best results. She'll consider your face shape, skin type, lifestyle, and personal style preferences.
Next comes brow mapping—the art and science of creating the perfect eyebrow shape for your unique features. Using precise measurements and golden ratio principles, Linda maps out your custom brow shape using a removable pencil. You'll review and approve the shape before any permanent work begins. This is your time to ask questions and make adjustments until you're completely confident.
Color Selection
Linda custom-blends pigments to match your natural coloring, hair color, and skin undertones. The goal is always a natural look that complements your features. For most clients, brows should be slightly darker than natural hair color but never harsh or unnatural. Linda takes into account how colors will heal and fade to ensure beautiful long-term results.
Numbing
A topical numbing cream is applied to the eyebrow area and left to take effect for 15-20 minutes. Most clients report minimal discomfort during the procedure—many describe the sensation as light scratching or tingling. Additional numbing can be applied during the procedure if needed to keep you comfortable.
Application
Now for the artistry! Depending on your chosen technique, the application process takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Linda works meticulously to create each hair stroke or apply shading with precision and care. You're welcome to take breaks as needed, and Linda will periodically show you the progress.
For microblading, she creates individual hair strokes following your natural hair growth pattern. For powder or ombré brows, she builds color gradually for a soft, dimensional effect. Combination brows incorporate both techniques for maximum realism.
Aftercare Instructions
Before you leave, Linda provides detailed aftercare instructions and answers any questions about the healing process. Proper aftercare is essential for optimal color retention and beautiful healed results. You'll receive a take-home aftercare kit with everything you need.
Touch-Up Appointment (4-8 weeks)
A touch-up appointment is included and scheduled 4-8 weeks after your initial appointment. This is a normal and necessary part of the permanent makeup process. During healing, some pigment naturally fades or doesn't retain evenly—this is expected and varies by individual.
At your touch-up, Linda assesses how your brows healed, adds any necessary strokes or shading to perfect the shape and color, and ensures you're thrilled with your final results. Most clients need only one touch-up, but some may benefit from a second for optimal results.
Total appointment time: 2-3 hours for initial appointment, 1-1.5 hours for touch-up
Plan ahead: Avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and caffeine 24 hours before your appointment for best results.

Book Your ConsultationWhat to Expect: Healing Timeline
Understanding the healing process helps ensure realistic expectations and optimal results. Permanent makeup eyebrows go through distinct healing phases before revealing their final beautiful appearance.
Days 1-2: Fresh & Bold
Your brows will appear darker and more defined than the final result. This is completely normal—expect them to be 30-40% darker than they will be once healed. Some redness and slight swelling may occur but typically subsides within 24 hours. The color appears very saturated at this stage.
Days 3-5: Darkest Phase
This is often the darkest phase as the pigment oxidizes. Your brows may feel slightly dry or tight. This is when people might think "these are too dark"—don't worry, they will lighten significantly. Trust the process and follow your aftercare instructions carefully.
Days 5-10: Flaking & Lightening
Light flaking or peeling begins as your skin naturally sheds. Do not pick or scratch—let the flakes fall off naturally. As they do, your brows will appear lighter, sometimes patchy or uneven. This is the most challenging phase psychologically, but it's temporary and necessary for proper healing.
Days 10-14: The "Ghost Phase"
Many clients experience what's called the "ghost phase" where brows appear very light or barely visible. This happens because new skin has formed over the pigment. Don't panic—this is normal and temporary. The color will return as your skin continues to heal and settle.
Weeks 3-4: Color Returns
The true color begins to emerge as your skin completes its healing cycle. Brows will still appear lighter than the final result. Some areas may appear uneven—this is exactly why the touch-up appointment is scheduled.
Weeks 4-8: Schedule Touch-Up
Your brows are now healed enough for your touch-up appointment. Linda will assess color retention, add additional strokes or shading where needed, and perfect your brow shape. After the touch-up heals (another 4 weeks), you'll see your final beautiful results.
6+ Weeks: Final Results
Your permanent makeup eyebrows are now fully healed and showing their true color and shape. With proper care and sun protection, your results will last 18-24 months before requiring a color refresh.
Critical Aftercare Tips
- Keep them dry for 7-10 days (no swimming, saunas, excessive sweating)
- No picking or scratching the flaking skin—let it shed naturally
- Avoid direct sun exposure during healing
- No makeup on or around the brow area during healing
- Sleep on your back to avoid rubbing brows on your pillow
- Follow the provided aftercare routine exactly as instructed
Linda provides detailed written aftercare instructions and is available to answer questions throughout your healing journey.
Permanent Makeup Eyebrows FAQ
Have questions about permanent makeup eyebrows? Here are answers to the most common questions Linda receives from clients in Alpharetta and surrounding areas.
Does permanent makeup eyebrows hurt?
Most clients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. A topical numbing cream is applied before we begin, which significantly reduces sensation. Many clients describe the feeling as light scratching, tingling, or minor pressure rather than pain. Additional numbing can be applied during the procedure to keep you comfortable. Pain tolerance varies by individual, but the vast majority of clients find the process much more comfortable than expected.
How long does permanent makeup eyebrows last?
Permanent makeup eyebrows are considered "semi-permanent" and typically last 18-24 months before requiring a color refresh. Longevity depends on several factors including your skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, skincare products used, and the technique chosen. Oily skin tends to fade faster than dry skin. Regular touch-ups every 18-24 months maintain your beautiful results and keep color looking fresh.
What's the difference between microblading and powder brows?
Microblading creates individual hair-like strokes using a manual tool for an ultra-natural look, ideal for those with normal to dry skin who want subtle definition. Powder brows use a digital machine to create a soft, shaded effect similar to filled-in makeup, lasting longer and working better for oily skin or those wanting a bolder look. Combination brows merge both techniques for hair strokes in front with shading through the body and tail—the most dimensional, realistic result.
How much does permanent makeup eyebrows cost in Alpharetta?
Pricing varies based on the technique chosen and the complexity of your brows. During your complimentary consultation, Linda provides detailed pricing based on your specific needs. Investment in permanent makeup eyebrows includes your initial appointment, touch-up session (typically 4-8 weeks later), and aftercare products. Consider this an investment in daily convenience—no more spending money on brow pencils, powders, gels, or salon shaping appointments.
Can I still wear makeup over permanent eyebrows?
Yes! Once fully healed, you can still apply makeup over your permanent eyebrows if desired, though most clients find they no longer need to. Permanent makeup provides a beautiful base that looks complete on its own, but you're free to add brow gel, additional color, or makeup as you wish. Many clients love having the option to enhance their brows for special occasions while going natural for everyday.
What if I have oily skin?
Oily skin is not a problem! In fact, powder ombré brows and combination brows are specifically designed to work beautifully with oily skin types. While microblading alone may not retain as well on very oily skin, adding powder shading provides excellent results. During your consultation, Linda assesses your skin type and recommends the best technique for optimal retention and longevity. Many oily-skinned clients achieve stunning, long-lasting results with the right approach.
How long is the healing process?
Initial healing takes about 7-10 days, during which you'll experience some flaking and lightening. Complete healing occurs over 4-6 weeks as the color settles into your skin and the true result emerges. You can return to most normal activities immediately, but you'll need to avoid swimming, saunas, excessive sweating, and direct sun exposure during the first 7-10 days. Most clients return to work the next day with no issues.
Am I a good candidate for permanent makeup eyebrows?
Most people are excellent candidates for permanent makeup eyebrows. This treatment is ideal for anyone with sparse, thin, over-plucked, or uneven brows, those who want to save time on their beauty routine, active individuals who swim or exercise regularly, people with allergies to traditional makeup, or anyone experiencing hair loss due to medical conditions. Some contraindications exist including pregnancy, nursing, certain skin conditions, recent Botox or fillers near the brow area, and certain medications. Linda reviews your medical history during consultation to ensure you're a good candidate.
Will my eyebrows look natural?
Absolutely. Natural-looking results are Linda's specialty and top priority. Every set of brows is custom-designed for your unique face shape, features, and coloring. Whether you choose hair strokes, powder shading, or a combination, the goal is always to enhance your natural beauty—never to look harsh, artificial, or "drawn on." Linda's artistic approach and years of experience ensure your brows complement your features beautifully and look like naturally full, perfectly groomed eyebrows.
What if I don't like the shape or color?
This is why the consultation and mapping process is so thorough. You review and approve both the shape and color before any permanent work begins, and adjustments can be made during this planning phase. Once healed, if minor adjustments are needed, they can be addressed at your touch-up appointment. Linda works closely with each client to ensure complete satisfaction. However, it's important to have realistic expectations and trust the artist's professional guidance on what shapes and colors will work best for your features.
