It’s a request we hear often — “I only want nanobrow.” We love it too. We love performing nanobrow services and creating ultra-realistic, hair-like results for our clients. When the skin is the right fit, this technique can be absolutely stunning.
But often, clients come in showing a photo of freshly done nanobrows, hoping for the same look — without realizing that the initial result doesn’t tell the full story.
The success of any permanent makeup technique depends on more than just the method. Your skin type, tone, and how your skin retains pigment all play a major role. That’s why at Kendra Neal Studio, we take an individualized approach to every brow service — including nanobrow.
Nanobrow is a permanent makeup technique that uses a tattoo machine and needle configuration to implant pigment into the skin using precise, hair-like strokes. The result closely mimics natural brow hairs —similar in appearance to microblading, but often gentler on the skin when done correctly.
For clients with healthy, normal-to-dry skin that’s rich in collagen and elastin, nanobrows can heal with clean, crisp detail and excellent pigment retention.
Challenges arise when nanobrow is applied to skin types it’s not suited for. On oily, mature, thin, or highly sensitive skin, the strokes may blur, fade unevenly, or shift in color over time.
This isn’t a sign of poor technique — it’s simply how certain skin types respond to the method. That’s why we always assess your individual skin requirements before recommending the best approach (nanobrow, microblading, or powderbrow). We have your best interest in mind and want you to be able to enjoy beautiful brows for years to come.
Powderbrow involves softly layering pigment in a shaded, pixelated style. Rather than individual strokes, the result is a softly defined, airbrushed appearance — like a subtle makeup fill. It’s highly customizable, allowing for a natural or more defined look depending on your goals. Because of its adaptability, powderbrow works beautifully across all skin types, especially for those who may not retain hair stroke swell. They also tend to age more evenly and gracefully, making them along-lasting and reliable option for many clients.
At Kendra Neal Studio, we do offer nanobrow — and when your skin is a match, it can be a beautiful technique. But our priority is always to create brows that will not only look great initially, but also heal well and stand the test of time.
At our studio, your artist will guide you through a personalized consultation, including a skin assessment, technique recommendation, and a clear understanding of what to expect before, during, and after your appointment. In the end, great results should appear natural, soft, and beautiful for several years with little maintenance.
