Combo Brows in Newport Beach

What combo brows are

Combo brows pair two techniques in one set: ultra-fine nano hairstrokes at the front of the brow, blended into a soft powder fill through the arch and tail. You get the realism of strokes where they show most, plus the definition and staying power of shading. Every set starts with custom brow mapping that you approve before we begin.

Who it’s for

• You want more definition than strokes alone
• Sparse fronts that need realistic hair strokes
• A polished brow that still looks natural up close
• Normal to oily skin — the powder portion holds well

Please check with us before booking if you are pregnant or nursing, have an active skin condition in the area, have used Accutane recently, have a blood-clotting condition, or use retinoid skincare (keep retinol/tretinoin off the procedure area for at least two months beforehand). If you take prescription retinoids, please consult your doctor before stopping.

The appointment

1. Consultation and brow mapping: we design your shape and you approve it.
2. Numbing cream is applied for comfort.
3. Strokes go in first, then shading is layered and blended through the arch and tail.

It’s a single appointment and you can go about your day afterward. Skip intense workouts for the rest of the day.

Healing timeline

• Days 1–2: brows look darker and more defined than the final result. This is normal.
• Days 3–7: light scabbing or flaking.
• Days 7–14: color may look faded. This “ghosting” stage passes.
• Weeks 4–6: color settles.

A touch-up 6–8 weeks after your first session refines and evens out the result.

Aftercare

• Keep brows dry for 7–14 days.
• Don’t pick or scratch at flakes.
• Apply the aftercare ointment exactly as directed.
• Once healed, wear sunscreen on the area and keep acids and retinoids off your brows.

Pricing

Combo brows are $599 for your first visit. Touch-ups within 6 months are $199; later touch-ups are priced higher, so ask us for current rates. Combo brows typically last around 1–3 years.

Results vary with skin type, lifestyle and aftercare. Your artist will talk you through what to expect for your skin.
