The difference between the two

Microblading uses hair-like strokes. Combination Brows add shading for a fuller result.

Natural growth and old pigment are checked before treatment is confirmed.

Shape mapping

The shape is drawn before pigment

The aim is to work with your natural brow growth and facial features, not copy the same shape onto everyone.

Your brow journey

Your brow treatment, step by step

The process from the first conversation to your treatment-specific return plan.

  1. 01

    Consult and test

    Discuss the finish, natural growth and previous pigment, then complete the patch test where required.

  2. 02

    Map and approve

    Review the pencil shape and ask for adjustments before pigment is placed.

  3. 03

    Receive the chosen technique

    The artist creates hair strokes alone or combines them with shading, then supplies the matching aftercare.

  4. 04

    Follow the return plan

    Use the review or top-up guidance confirmed before booking.

Aftercare

Brow SPMU aftercare

Treat Microblading and Combination Brows as healing skin. Your written appointment instructions take priority because pigments and aftercare products differ.

Clean hands, exact products

Wash and dry your hands before touching the area. Clean, blot or apply balm only as demonstrated, using only the supplied or specifically recommended product.

Keep the area clear

Keep makeup, cleansers, retinoids, exfoliating acids, peels and other active products away until the studio confirms the surface has healed.

Do not pick or soak

Do not scratch, rub, pick or peel flakes or crusts. Avoid soaking, swimming, saunas, steam rooms, sunbeds, direct sun and heavy sweating until healed.

Patch test and top-up

Complete the free patch test where required. A clear test cannot rule out every later reaction. Wait until the skin is fully healed and use the top-up timing confirmed by the studio.

Once fully healed

Use suitable sun protection and avoid aggressive exfoliation over the pigment. Tell future laser, peel or injectable practitioners about the cosmetic tattoo.

Get medical advice

Contact the studio and seek medical advice for increasing redness, swelling, heat or pain, severe burning or throbbing, or yellow or green unpleasant-smelling discharge. Use NHS 111 if urgent and a GP is unavailable.

Common questions.

If your question is not here, send it before booking.Ask a question
Which treatment looks most natural?

Microblading focuses on hair-stroke realism. Combination Brows add shading where more density is wanted.

When should I assess the result?

The studio will explain when to review your brows and whether a return appointment applies.

What if I have old pigment?

Message first with a current, well-lit photo so previous work can be assessed.
