About the treatment
It is the best technique for all skin types — long-lasting, with a much more even fade-out. Ombré style keeps the inner fronts light with a gradual light-to-dark effect, while Powder style fills in most of the brow, including the fronts.
Soft Powder is my most popular brow procedure: the longer lasting, gentler-on-skin and most evenly retaining of all brow tattoo techniques.
Please keep in mind
All cosmetic tattoo procedures usually require a touchup, and I cannot control how much pigment your skin chooses to absorb. Immediate touchups are recommended to perfect the first session.

Questions
Soft Ombré Powder Brows: your questions.
Powder brows or microblading?
I do powder and combo brows, not microblading. Powder brows last longer, are gentler on the skin and fade more evenly, and they work on every skin type, including oily skin. See powder brows vs microblading.
How much do powder brows cost?
$875. Touchups are separate: $150 within 1–6 months, $300 within 7–12 months.
How long do powder brows last?
Approximately 2–3 years, depending on your skin type, oiliness, sun exposure, exercise and exfoliation.
How long is healing?
Brows usually take 7–10 days to heal. The color softens as it heals, and a touchup perfects the shape and retention.
Does an eyebrow tattoo hurt?
Everyone responds to pain differently. Clients usually rate it around 3–5 out of 10. I apply topical numbing before, and more numbing on open skin throughout, to keep you comfortable.
Booking policies
Before you book.
Clear policies keep the schedule fair for everyone — please read them before requesting your appointment.
Deposits
A non-refundable deposit reserves your appointment and is applied to your service price. It stays valid for one year. The only exception: if your doctor advises against the procedure, your deposit is refunded.
Changes, cancellations & no-shows
Reschedule or cancel online, with your “Manage my appointment” link, at least 24 hours before your appointment — up to two changes per deposit. Less than 24 hours before, it can’t be changed and a new date needs a new deposit. Not showing up, arriving more than 20 minutes late, or arriving with an active cold sore, flare-up or broken skin forfeits the deposit. You’ll get a confirmation and a reminder before your visit.
Payment & tax
Pay your deposit online by card or Apple Pay. Your card is saved securely by Stripe and the balance (plus any tip you choose) is charged to it at the end of your appointment — or pay with a QR code, including Klarna or Affirm to pay over time. New York State sales tax on permanent makeup (4.5%) is added to all prices.
The studio
By appointment only — no walk-ins. For safety and concentration, no guests or children are allowed in the treatment room.
Eligibility
Not possible while pregnant or breastfeeding, or within 6 months of taking Accutane. Some conditions — such as cancer, a serious illness, a clotting disorder, or thyroid, diabetes or blood-pressure conditions — need a letter from your doctor. Cold sores, blood thinners and skin conditions need some preparation, and the area must be clear on the day. The booking form walks you through it.
