Hair strokes meet soft shading
Combination brows bring together two of our most popular techniques in one treatment. Fine, hair-like strokes are created through the front of the brow, closely mimicking natural brow hairs, before gently blending into a soft, powdered shade through the body and tail.
The result is a brow that looks natural at a glance yet has more depth, structure and fullness than hair strokes alone, making it a beautiful option for clients who love the softness of powder brows but want extra texture at the front.
Combination brows suit you if you...
- Want fine, natural hair strokes at the front of the brow with softer definition through the body and tail
- Have combination or normal skin and want a technique that suits both areas of the brow
- Love the natural look of hair strokes but want a little extra depth and structure
- Have sparse or patchy brows needing both definition and natural texture
- Want the fullest, most versatile semi-permanent brow result available

Common questions
Combination brows blend two techniques in one treatment: fine, natural hair strokes through the front of the brow, softening into a powdered ombre shade through the body and tail. It gives a fuller, more structured finish than hair strokes alone.
Microblading uses hair strokes throughout, while powder brows use shading throughout. Combination brows use both techniques together, hair strokes at the front for texture and softness, with shading behind to add depth and definition.
Combination brows work well for most skin types, including combination and normal skin. The blended technique gives the natural look of hair strokes with the added longevity and definition of shading.
Combination brows typically last 18 months to 2 years, sitting between microblading and powder brows for longevity, thanks to the added shading through the tail.
A topical numbing cream is applied before the treatment to ensure your comfort. Most clients find combination brows comfortable throughout, describing only mild scratching or vibrating sensations.
Your initial combination brows appointment takes approximately 2.5 to 2.75 hours including consultation, brow mapping, numbing, treatment and aftercare guidance.
