Nano Brows
WHAT IS NANO BROWS?
Nano Brows are a permanent makeup treatment for the eyebrows that creates the look of extra natural volume, fills in sparse patches, and modifies the shape of the arches into your dream brows. It’s a form of cosmetic tattooing done by using a disposable cartridge needle to deposit pigment into the skin. The needle used is extremely thin so the strokes look more realistic and blend seamlessly with the natural hairs.
​
The results of Nano Brows fade gradually over time. They typically need to be refreshed 1 to 3 years to keep the colour and hair strokes looking vibrant.
​
CONSULTATION
A thirty minute consultation appointment is mandatory prior to booking a first application. If you have microblading, nano or permanent makeup done by another artist, an in-person consultation is also mandatory.
If you prefer your brows to be a certain shape, style or colour, please come with them filled in to this appointment.
​
Please note that consultation appointments are $50 plus taxes. If you decide at the time of your consultation to book an initial application, the $50 plus taxes will go towards your initial service cost.
​
To cancel or reschedule any appointments, please provide us with at least 48 hours' notice.

APPLICATION APPOINTMENT
When first applied, the pigment will initially be 10 to 40% stronger in colour but will soften to a natural, beautiful enhancement.
An epithelial crust will form and gently fall off over 3 to 7 days. During the healing process, the colour may seem to disappear as it is obscured by the healing skin. The true colour will not come through until up to 4 weeks from initial treatment.
The healing time is different for each individual and procedure. Under no circumstances should you have further permanent makeup work on the same treated area until after 6 weeks.
Your health and well being is top priority at The Brow Loft. The treatment room is sanitized before and after all appointments. All machines are disinfected before and after every procedure. The machine, hand piece and cord is also wrapped in plastic during treatment.
A new, disposable cartridge needle will be use during your treatment and is disposed of afterwards in a Medical Sharps Container. All other products used are disposed of after procedure is complete. ​
​
Each application of permanent makeup can take is 3 to 4 hours long. Please do not schedule another appointment directly after the service so the Artist does not feel rushed. Everything will be explained step by step to ensure you understand the procedure and aftercare.
With any permanent makeup, a touch up is required in 6 to 8 weeks after the first application to complete the look. The touch up application will boost the colour and give a perfect finish. The cost of a touch up is not including in initial pricing. Once the desired look is completed, permanent makeup can last up to 1 to 3 years. The long lasting results will depend on skin type and life style.

Everyone's skin heals differently and most clients develop patchy areas or the appearance of fading after the first application.
There is no downtime associated with this treatment. Redness and swelling will dissipate within an hour after.
It is important to understand that this is a two part process and a touch up application is needed to complete the brows. Please be patient.
