Which Eyebrow Permanent Makeup Technique Is Right for You?
Adriana’s offers five eyebrow techniques, priced from $550 to $650. They differ in the tool used, the finish they create and how long they last: strokes for a hair-like result, shading for a soft makeup finish, or a combination of both. Your artist recommends one at consultation based on your skin type and brow density.
Microblading
Microblading uses a handheld tool to create fine, hair-like strokes for fuller, natural-looking brows that typically last 12 to 24 months.
Powder Brows
Powder Brows uses a digital machine to create a soft, shaded brow effect with a polished makeup-like finish that typically lasts 1 to 3 years.
Combination Brows
Combination Brows blends hair-like strokes with soft shading for fuller, natural-looking eyebrows that typically last 1 to 3 years.
Nano Combo Brows
Nano Combo Brows combine ultra-fine nano hair strokes with soft powder shading for fuller, natural-looking brows that typically last 1 to 3 years.
Common questions about eyebrow permanent makeup
Eyebrow permanent makeup is priced $550 to $650, confirmed at the $50 consultation, which is credited toward your service if you book it. Every other service is published openly, from $250 to $850, on the price list, so you can see the range the studio works in before you book anything.
Yes. Cherry offers 4 interest-free payments, or a longer plan of up to 24 months with interest. Checking your options takes about a minute and uses a soft credit check, so it does not affect your credit score. Cherry is an independent financing provider: it sets approval and rates, not the studio. See how the payment plan works.
The perfecting session exists for exactly that. It is scheduled 6 to 8 weeks after the first appointment, once the skin has healed, and it is included in the original price at no extra charge. Pigment settles differently on different skin, so the second pass is part of the procedure rather than a repair you pay for.
Most clients book a colour refresh every 12 to 24 months; how long the pigment itself lasts depends on the technique and your skin (each service page gives its own range). After that, a yearly touch-up refreshes the colour from $300, priced by how much pigment is left rather than at a flat rate. That is a separate visit from the perfecting session, which is included in the original price and happens in the first weeks.
Yes. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, being under 18, and current isotretinoin use are refused at both studios, with no exception. Blood thinners, autoimmune conditions and a history of keloid scarring need clearance from your doctor first. The full list is published in the contraindications guide before you book, not after.

How Do the Five Brow Techniques Compare?
Eyebrow permanent makeup at Adriana’s ranges from $550 to $650, falling into two families: strokes that mimic individual hairs and shading that mimics brow makeup, compared below by tool, finish, price, and duration.
| Technique | Price | Tool | Finish | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nano Brows | $650 | Ultra-fine needle, digital machine | Individual hair-like strokes | 1–3 years |
| Microblading | $550 | Handheld blade | Fine hair-like strokes | 12–24 months |
| Powder Brows | $550 | Digital machine, shading motion | Soft, diffused powder-makeup look | 1–3 years |
| Combination Brows | Custom, set at consultation | Blade strokes plus machine shading | Strokes at the front, shading through the body | 1–3 years |
| Nano Combo | $600 | Digital machine, strokes plus shading motion | Nano strokes plus soft powder shading | 1–3 years |
Nano Brows and Combination Brows both use strokes, but Nano Brows’ machine-driven needle is generally better tolerated on skin that bleeds or scars easily than Combination Brows’ handheld blade.
Strokes or Shading: How Do You Choose?
The real decision is whether your skin and morning routine call for strokes or shading. Oily skin blurs fine strokes as they heal and holds powder shading better, while drier skin keeps a crisp stroke line longer. Combination Brows and Nano Combo suit clients who want both, confirmed at your consultation.
How Does a Brow Appointment Work?
A brow appointment moves through consultation and mapping, numbing, pigment placement, and a final review. A perfecting session follows 6 to 8 weeks later, included in your original price.
Your artist marks a shape before any needle touches your skin, so you approve the design first. That perfecting session is not the same appointment as a Yearly Touch-Up, a separate paid visit roughly 12 months later.
What Does the Price Include?
Every eyebrow price includes the consultation, mapping, numbing, the procedure, and the perfecting session 6 to 8 weeks later. It excludes the Yearly Touch-Up, a separate paid visit about 12 months out from $300, priced by how much pigment remains, and every price can be split with Cherry.
Who Should Not Book Eyebrow Permanent Makeup?
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, active isotretinoin use, and being under 18 rule out any eyebrow procedure outright. Diabetes, autoimmune conditions, blood thinners, keloid scarring, and an active skin condition in the brow area need medical clearance first, detailed on the aftercare and contraindications guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Microblading uses a handheld blade to cut fine strokes by hand. Nano Brows uses a digital machine with an ultra-fine needle for the same style of stroke, generally better tolerated on skin that bleeds or scars easily, and priced $100 higher.
Choose strokes, like Microblading or Nano Brows, for a hair-like result on normal to dry skin. Choose Powder Brows if your skin is oily, since oil blurs fine strokes but holds soft shading well, or if you already fill your brows in daily.
Combination Brows is priced individually at consultation, since the balance of strokes to shading varies by client, rather than posted as a flat fee. Nano Combo, the machine-driven equivalent of the same idea, has a posted price of $600 instead.
Nano Brows, Powder Brows, Combination Brows, and Nano Combo typically last 1 to 3 years. Microblading typically lasts 12 to 24 months, the shortest of the five, since handheld strokes tend to soften faster over time than machine-placed pigment does.
Yes. The Brows + Lips Combo pairs a customized brow technique with Lip Blush for $850 in one appointment, saving money over booking each treatment separately and cutting two healing periods and two perfecting sessions down to just one, instead.
Every brow price includes a perfecting session 6 to 8 weeks later, at no extra cost. A separate Yearly Touch-Up, starting at $300 and priced by how much pigment remains, follows about 12 months after that, once color has genuinely faded.

Book Online Now Ask a Question FirstWhat Should You Check Before Booking Permanent Makeup Anywhere?
Six things are worth verifying with any permanent makeup artist before you book: their licence number, who trained them, what the price includes, whether a price is published at all, what they refuse to do, and whether the technique actually suits your skin.
| What to check | What to ask any artist | The answer here |
|---|---|---|
| Practitioner licence | Ask for the licence number and check it yourself with the state or the town, instead of taking a badge on a website at face value. | New Hampshire Body Artist licence 4283, valid through 18 July 2028 and searchable at the state’s own public lookup. Town of Salem BODA-10 and BODE-4. Body Art Practitioner licence from the Town of Wilmington Board of Health. |
| Who trained them | Ask who certified the artist, and whether that credential can be checked with the body that issued it. | AAM Diamond Certified Trainer, the American Academy of Micropigmentation’s highest level of instructor recognition. |
| What the price includes | Ask whether the perfecting session is included or billed later. This is where quoted prices most often stop matching the final bill. | The perfecting session, 6 to 8 weeks after the appointment, is included in every original price. The yearly touch-up, from $300, is a separate visit about 12 months later. |
| Whether the price is published at all | The consultation costs $50, credited toward the service. A studio that will not name a range before seeing you is not comparable to one that will. | All 13 services are published with their prices, from $250 to $850, on the price list. |
| When they say no | Ask what would make them refuse to perform the procedure. An artist who never refuses is a warning sign. | Pregnancy, breastfeeding, under 18 and isotretinoin are refused at both studios with no exception. The full list is in the contraindications guide, published before you book rather than after. |
| Whether the technique fits you | Ask which technique suits your skin type, and what they would recommend if this one does not. | Five brow techniques are offered here, and they are not interchangeable: skin type decides which one holds. This is settled at the consultation, in English or Portuguese. |

This was my third visit and love it here. The atmosphere and the people allow you to let your guard down and get rid of any fear. When I started I had barely half an eyebrow and was very afraid of the process. Livy always talked me through it and made me comfortable! Livy is patient and kind and does excellent work!
★★★★★
I had my eyebrows done by Adrianna and am so happy with the results. I held off doing this for years because I was worried it would not look natural. Adrianna did a fabulous job! Highly recommend.
