Powder brows in Burwood.

What happens during your appointment

1. 01Consultation: the shape and depth you want, your skin, and any health questions (see below).
2. 02Brow mapping: Abby measures and draws the shape, and you approve it before she starts.
3. 03Pigment is applied in fine layers of tiny dots to build an even, powdery finish.
4. 04The brows are cleaned and Abby explains the aftercare for the next two weeks.

Allow about 120 minutes in total.

Healing and the free touch-up

Straight after the appointment the brows look darker and sharper than the final result. Over the first one to two weeks they flake lightly and soften, and some areas can look patchy while the skin heals; this is normal.

Your free touch-up within 3 months fills any spots that didn’t hold and fine-tunes the shape. Touch-ups aren’t booked online: message Abby by WhatsApp, SMS or WeChat to arrange it.

After that, colour refreshes are priced by how long it has been: within 3–6 months 30% of the current price ($144), within 6–12 months 50% ($240), and after a year the full price. How fast pigment fades depends on your skin, sun exposure and skincare.

Before you come in

• ✦Come with your usual brows (no tinting or waxing in the week before) so Abby can see your natural shape.
• ✦Avoid alcohol and caffeine on the day; they can increase bleeding.
• ✦Tell Abby when you book if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take blood thinners, use retinoids on your face, have a skin condition on your brows, or tend to scar or keloid. She may suggest waiting or checking with your GP first.

Aftercare: Abby’s steps

• ✦Keep the brows clean and dry.
• ✦For about 10 days avoid swimming, saunas, heavy sweating, makeup on the brows and direct sun.
• ✦Don’t pick or scratch the flakes; let them fall off on their own.
• ✦Once healed, sunscreen on your brows helps the colour last.
