First, you need to understand some of the terms. Due to the fact that the market is oversaturated with various newfangled names, which are often just a marketing ploy, it is extremely difficult for a person to understand and decide what exactly he needs. “Well, you won't do me a PM, will you? I want nano-spraying!" - the most common question from my clients.

So, my dear women! Any of the methods of applying Permanent Makeup refers to Permanent Makeup (Micropigmentation). In other words, these are just varieties. Often I give this example: there are FRUIT, and there are apples, pears and peaches. The same is in our case. There is the concept of PM, and there are its varieties: Microblading, Nanospray, Pixel Eyebrow, Powdery Eyebrow, Gradient, Shading and many more different techniques. We will tell you about them in this section, add the corresponding photos and videos.

So. Let's try to figure it out 🙃

You've all probably met women with blue, purple, pink eyebrows more than once. With eyebrows that look like they've been roughly drawn with a pencil, they've been boldly and persistently drawn. So, this is all the result of the work of the master! A master who worked with old techniques (too deep into the skin and so on). Old equipment or pigments that can only be used for tattoos. These works were carried out very deep in the skin, healed for a long time and never looked natural. Many masters work with similar methods to this day.

But this is not about our studio!

The principal feature of modern techniques is lightness and naturalness. Airy image, subtle haze. This effect can only be achieved by an experienced master with a confident hand, the right equipment, and the right experience.

Important! The pigment on which the master works. There is a huge variety of all kinds of offers on the market. The industry does not stand still and develops endlessly. In my work, I try to use proven brands that have a consistently high rating and a positive history. We will talk about this separately, but now we will return to spraying.

Nano-Spraying

This is the latest pigment application technique, with the help of which the eyebrows look as natural and airy as possible. The procedure is completely painless and comfortable. There can be no talk of any blood, not even scratches. This is the magic of the result of working in this technique. You can watch a video with the process of the procedure using the Nano-Spraying technique on our channel at the link: https://youtu.be/_FxjKfs_08U

Healing is as comfortable as the procedure itself. Peeling, of course, will be, but you will not have to take sick leave and drop out of active life too. Outwardly, it will look like you chapped your face in the cold. Well, who doesn't happen to? 😊

The procedure takes place in two stages. And it implies a correction, which I highly recommend doing in a month, maximum two. It also happens that a third procedure (correction) is required, it depends on the characteristics of the client's skin.

What is Correction and what is it for

Sometimes I had to read the opinions of clients about who the correction is a money scam and a lot of things that have nothing to do with the truth. In fact, correction is a natural necessity. As I wrote earlier, the procedure is carried out in the uppermost layers of the skin, which provides the most natural result. However, the final result is influenced by a number of factors:

1. Natural defensive reaction. Our skin perceives everything foreign as hostile interference and tries in every possible way to get rid of it. In our example, push the pigment out. This is a completely natural defense reaction. The task of the master in this case is to "persuade" your skin to make friends with his work and fill in the gaps that have arisen in the process of the dispute between your skin and a foreign substance.
2. Care after the procedure. In my experience, I have used all kinds of reminders about how to care for your eyebrows after the procedure. I gave the memo in printed form. I sent a reminder to instant messengers. I conducted a conversation before the procedure and during the procedure, reminded everyone before they left. But girls are such girls 🌸 It is imperative to visit the solarium immediately after the procedure, or on the second or fifth day. Then, of course, the pool. After the pool, we always chat in the sauna. After all these manipulations, the client is sincerely surprised why the remainder of the color on her eyebrows is so weak! Because these are contraindications. And the master, reminding you of how to properly care for a Permanent Makeup at the healing stage, was not joking. The master took care of you and the end result of his work.
3. Features of the skin type. The more oily and porous the skin, the less chances that the pigment will lay down evenly and linger in principle. However, dry skin gives more natural resistance and does not really like something foreign. The skin has a natural tendency to renew itself. Together with it, the work of the master is also updated. In other words, the task of the master is to bring his work to the ideal, based on natural physiological characteristics.

Pixel Eyebrow

Permanent makeup of eyebrows using pixel spraying - this technique is firmly entrenched in the field of beauty. Surely many of you have seen dots, barely perceptible on the body of the eyebrows, and over these dots, as if tinted with shadows, eyebrows. So: this is the pixel. The fundamental difference from spraying is the method of application.

This technique is completely unsuitable for clients with oily and even mixed skin. Over time, the dots spread out a little and do not look as aesthetically pleasing as we would like. This is not the fault of the master or the client. It's just that this technique is intended for thin-skinned young ladies with a dry texture.

Airy Shading

It's beautiful. I love this technique. In order for the work to look the way it is dreamed, the master must have artistic flair and aesthetic taste. This is a really hard job. Technically, the master must perform a multi-layer, lightest application of pigment, to ensure a smooth transition from a subtle haze to a thick shading.

With the help of shading, the eyebrows are bright, but at the same time the eyebrows look natural and noble. Color saturation can be controlled during the procedure. You do not need to worry about the result: we interact throughout the entire procedure, jointly determining the level of color saturation.

Powdery Eyebrow, 3D Volume

This technique is a variant of Permanent Makeup, in which the pigment is shaded in the uppermost layer of the epidermis and without continuous filling. The effect of naturalness is achieved by the fact that natural data are only slightly corrected. As a result, the eyebrows are voluminous and soft, as if slightly tinted with shadows or a pencil. This technique is ideal for those who are in favor of natural images. This type of PM can be attributed to everyday makeup, which is appropriate anywhere, at any time of the year.

Hair Technique and Hair Technique With Shading

This technique is a real salvation for those who do not have their own eyebrow hairs. This is very common. Both in young girls by nature, and in adult women with age, when the years begin to argue with us.

When done correctly, this technique looks very natural. Drawn hairs can not always be distinguished from native eyebrows, if you do not run your fingers along the eyebrow.

You can only entrust a Hair Technique to a very experienced master. I'll explain why.

Our skin is multi-layered and consists of three layers.

The topmost one that can be touched is the epidermis. It has no blood vessels or nerve endings. It is constantly updated and has a protective function. So that's it. If the master applies a hair in this layer of the skin, then very quickly, when the top layer is renewed, everything will usually come off. This mistake is often made by "cowardly" masters with little experience, who are afraid to go deeper and harm. I must say that this is the most harmless thing that can happen.

The dermis is the second layer of the skin. The dermis is like dense rubber. Due to collagen fibers, it has a good density, due to elastin - elasticity. The dermis is conventionally divided into 2 layers - papillary and reticular. So that's it. Correct insertion of the hair under the skin is the papillary layer. Not the epidermis anymore, but not yet reticular. What happens if the master misses? It is good if the pigment lives a little in the epidermis and usually comes out during renewal (very quickly). It is much worse if the needle pierced the papillary layer of the skin and damaged the reticular layer. This will lead to a change in the color of the hair, up to dark purple.

Hypodermis - subcutaneous fatty tissue. A master who does not feel the skin often penetrates this layer of the skin. This entails dark-colored bleeding, which is not easy to stop. This is not fatal at all, but fundamentally wrong. Most likely, a slight scar will remain and the pigment will heal with a blue blot.

Thus, in order to achieve a high quality of work in the Hair Technique, the master must clearly know what he is doing. In this technique, there is no forgiveness for mistakes, the price is too obvious! Trust the Hair Technique to proven masters who can clearly answer your questions about the layers of the skin and at what depth the hair should be drawn.

Working in the Hair Technique requires artistic skills. Each hair is drawn by hand. I need to lay out the direction in accordance with the natural growth of your hairs. Consider the distance that nature has laid. Get in tone. Take into account the peculiarities of your type of appearance and your wishes for the result.

I love this technique. I can even attribute it to my favorite, because I love complex work. This is a very high responsibility, but I really like it when you smile and say at the end of the procedure: “This is exactly what I wanted!”.
