Brow and skin treatment in the salon's facial room

Powder brows, not microblading

Powdering builds a soft, misted brow out of thousands of tiny pigment dots, the way a pencil or a powder would look — dense at the tail, lighter at the head. Microblading cuts fine hair-like strokes into the skin instead. Powder wears better on most skin types, especially oily skin, where blade strokes tend to blur into a smudge within a year.

Shape comes before pigment. Knar maps the brows to your own bone structure and your own face sitting up, not lying down, and you see the drawing and approve it before a needle is opened. If the shape is not right, nothing else about the appointment matters.

The healing is part of the treatment

Expect it to look too dark and too sharp for the first few days — that is the pigment sitting in the top layer of skin and it is supposed to happen. Then a light flaking stage over the following week, and you must let it come away on its own. Picking at it is how patches are made.

The true colour is not visible until around four to six weeks, when the skin has settled and the pigment has softened, typically by a noticeable amount. That is why a top-up is planned into the process rather than sold as a fix afterwards. Judge the result at six weeks, not at six days.

How long it lasts, and who should wait

Well-placed permanent makeup holds for one to three years before it needs refreshing. Oily skin, sun exposure and strong exfoliating acids all shorten that; keeping your face out of direct sun and off retinol near the treated area lengthens it.

Come to the consultation and be straightforward with us if you are pregnant or nursing, on blood thinners, prone to keloid scarring, have had recent work in the area, or are diabetic. Some of those mean waiting rather than never — but they need saying before the appointment is booked, not on the day.

Who does it

The chair you are booking

Permanent makeup artist

Knar

Knar does permanent makeup — cosmetic tattooing that survives a shower and a swim: powdered eyebrows, eyeliner and lip tint. Each of the three starts with a free consultation, where the shape is mapped on your own face and approved by you before any pigment goes in.

Where a price says “and up”, that is the starting figure for the service as listed — very long or very thick hair needs more product and more time. You are told the number at the chair, before anything is mixed or applied, not afterwards.

Before you book

Questions we get asked

Anything not answered here — call the salon and ask. Someone who does this every day will pick up.

How much is permanent makeup?

Powdered brows, eyeliner and lip tint each start at $350. The consultation before it is free and is booked as its own thirty-minute appointment.

Is the consultation really free?

Yes, and it is compulsory rather than optional. Knar maps the shape, talks through the colour against your skin tone and hair, and checks nothing in your health or skin history rules the procedure out. You are not committed to anything by having it.

Does it hurt?

It is uncomfortable rather than painful for most people — topical numbing is used and lips are usually the most sensitive of the three. If you are worried about it, say so at the consultation.

How long does permanent makeup last?

Usually one to three years before a refresh. Oily skin, sun and acid exfoliants fade it faster. It softens gradually rather than disappearing suddenly.

How long is the healing?

About a week of light flaking, which you must not pick at, and four to six weeks before the colour has truly settled. Do not judge the result before then — it looks darkest in the first few days and that is normal.

Can I have it done if I am pregnant?

We will ask you to wait. Bring it up at the consultation and we will plan the timing around it.
