Combination brows
The second most natural brow enhancement
Combination brows is the perfect mix of natural hair strokes & shading. Combination brows are best suited to people with dry, normal & combination skin. I use a powerful topical numbing cream, so the pain is minimal. I recommend a top between 12-18 months, but Combination brows can last for in excess of 2 years.
This treatment is ideal for those that suffer with thin eyebrows, hair loss, or over plucked brows, plus those who want to enhance & perfect the shape of their brows.
Hair strokes are created by using a hand held tool for ultimate precision, & to create a look specifically designed to your face shape & desired outcome. To create the shading, I use a soft shadowing needle to blend the strokes into a realistic, pencil-like filled brow.

How much does it cost?
In the UK, Combination brow prices range from approx £200 - £450. This depends on your location & other factors such as the Artisits overheads, level of skill & more.
The total cost for Combination brows treatment with Emily at Nixie Permanent Cosmetics is £350.
I offer split payments for my clients, whereby you pay either £25 or £50 deposit depending on which service you've chosen, you pay £250 on your Application appointment, & you pay £50 on your Top Up. I offer this service for convenience & ease.
How many appointments will I need?
The process is split over 2 appointments for your complete brow transformation, & over 1 appointment for your top up.
How long does it take?
I usually allow 30 mins for your Consultation, 2-3 hrs for your Application & 1-2 hrs for your Top Up.
If you're having a full brow transformation (2 appointments), you will need to book in 4-6 weeks from your Application for your Top Up.
What happens at my Application appointment?
Your application appointment consists of completing consent forms, mapping out your new brows or lips, choosing your desired colour & the application itself. You will also receive your complimentary aftercare pack, & we will thoroughly discuss your responsibilities for aftercare, so you get the best results from your treatment. We would use your deposit to reduce the cost of this appointment. We would have already discussed your cost breakdown at your consultation.
What happens at my Top Up appointment?
Your Top Up will take place approx 6 weeks after your initial Application. This is to ensure the area has healed fully. Your Top Up consists of discussing the healed results & touching up any areas in which we feel require it. This appointment will cost £50.
How do I best care for my new brows?
By following the aftercare instructions that I provide to you on your Application appointment. Aftercare is so important & will be the make or break of your new eyebrow tattoo. Your body needs time to heal, without proper healing, your results won't be as good (been there, done that!)
Can I bring someone with me to my appointment?
You're welcome to bring a companion to your Consultation appointment, but unfortunately, you must attend your permanent make up appointment alone. Also, due to insurance reasons, under 18's are not permitted in my clinic at any time.
