Permanent brows
AHS Approved. Licensed. Certified. Insured.
At Brilliance Brow Studio, you're in good hands. We offer multiple techniques to achieve the perfect brow for you. All techniques are considered permanent tattoos, however we do expect a degree of fading over time due to normal activities such as exfoliation, sweat, and sun exposure.
Microblading/Nano is the art of implanting pigment into the upper layers of the skin using a one time-use tool or machine to mimic brow hairs. The "Natural" look.
Powder Brows are completed using a machine which deposits pigment into the upper layers of the skin for a bolder brow via layers of shaded color. The full "Make-up" look.
Combo/Hybrid Brows are a combination of hairstrokes in the front and shading in the tail, bringing together the best of both worlds.
Permanent Makeup is a great option if you suffer from Alopecia, Trichotillomania, are a cancer survivor, or have trouble with patchy, uneven or thin brows. It enhances your existing brows by adding depth, color, and a defined shape that looks natural.
Brilliance is highly trained in both natural-looking and bold, glamorous brows - giving you the freedom to choose the look that suits you and your lifestyle best.

Beach, gym and hike proof
Does it hurt?
We use a two-stage topical freezing process to make your session as comfortable as possible. You may feel some minor discomfort but it will subside as soon as the session is over. We promise, it is worse in your imagination! Some clients are so comfortable that they fall asleep.
Keep in mind: Coffee and alcohol will increase sensitivity.
What are the risks?
As with any invasive cosmetic procedure which involves the skin, the biggest risk is infection. Pre-procedure tools are disinfected before and after use and microblades/shading needles come in sterilized packages and are one-time use only.
Other risks include: allergic reactions to nickle, the numbing cream, or the pigment.
What is the downtime?
You can expect the area to feel a bit like a sunburn that night. Over the next 2 weeks you will notice that the brows form a protective layer over each stroke, which will fall off naturally as part of the healing process. You cannot submerge the brows in water, apply makeup on or around them, remove the protective layer or sweat heavily into the brows during this time.
How long does it last?
The longevity of your permanent makeup will depend on 3 things: Cheryl's skills, your skin type, and lifestyle. Skin type plays the biggest role - the more oily you are, the softer your results will be and you may require touch ups more frequently. Dry skin is best, as color will remain crisp and last twice as long. 1-2 years is standard for everyone.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a tattoo. While we expect permanent makeup to lighten and fade over time due to sun exposure, exfoliation and sweat, it may never completely disappear for some people.
Who is not a good candidate?
Permanent brow makeup is not for everyone, unfortunately. You may experience less than ideal results if you:
Have oily skin and large pores
Have thick, coarse brow hair
Have ruddy undertones (characterized by warm cheeks, red noses and blotchiness typically seen in some red heads and blondes)
Have mature skin/deep wrinkles in the forehead
Have extremely sun damaged skin
PLEASE NOTE: If you meet two or more of these criteria we do not recommend permanent brow makeup.
