Note: Some photos shown above are of fully-healed work, & some are of freshly-done work! Remember: Freshly-done brows always appear darker, warmer, thicker, and more defined. The healed result that you’ll be left with for years to come, is what truly counts. Healed brows are more petite, lighter in color, cooler in tone, and softer around the edges. As you’re searching for the right artist for YOU, we highly recommend considering healed work examples only, and reviews.

We offer 4 techniques for permanent brow makeup, to ensure that we can create gorgeous results on every skin type:

Microblading Massachusetts - Microblading Boston - Jessie Dillon Beauty.JPG — Microblading

is a form of permanent brow makeup originating in Japan, also referred to as eyebrow embroidery, eyebrow feathering, or hair strokes. "Strokes" are created on the skin to imitate the look of real brow hair, in a precise pattern that flows with your natural hair growth. Microblading is not a substitute for makeup; it will not create a "filled in" look.
This method is best for normal/dry clients with evenly-distributed brow hair, and with skin that is not too thin, thick, or sensitive. Microblading typically needs refreshing every 1-2 years.
While many of our clients request Microblading, it is only suitable for about 25% of them!

Ombre Brows Massachusetts - Permanent Makeup in Boston - Jessie Dillon Beauty.JPG — Ombre Brows

…as opposed to microblading, do not feature hair strokes. Instead, a soft "background color" is added to the brow that heals looking subtle and powdery. For the most natural-looking result, the color softly diffuses at the head of each brow: they are never harshly squared off.
Clients with oily, sensitive, heavily creased, delicate, or thick skin will have the best healed result with this method. It's also typically the best option for coverups and corrections (more on this below!) This method typically needs refreshing every 2-3 years.

Combination Brows Massachusetts - Permanent Makeup in Boston - Jessie Dillon Beauty 1.JPG — Combination Brows

feature a mix of microblading *and* ombre shading! It's the best of both worlds, and more customizable than one of those two methods alone.
This method is best for clients with little/uneven hair and normal/dry skin that is not too thin, thick, or sensitive. Combo Brows typically require maintenance every 2-3 years.

Nano Brows

add natural & realistic VOLUME to sparse brows. With this technique, we create hair-like strokes using a machine, made up of hundreds of little pixels. When we create the hairstroke look with a machine vs a manual microblading tool, it’s much gentler on the skin & tends to age more gracefully.
This technique is great for clients who want the hair stroke look, but have oily or mature skin that would disqualify them for microblading. Nano Brows typically requires maintenance every 1-3 years.

Beyond selecting the right technique/method for you, there are many other ways that we perfectly tailor our brow work to each client. When determining intensity, shape, size, and color, we consider your preferences, natural growth, natural brow color, skin type, and skin tone.

Coverups & Corrections:

Anytime we are working over PMU that was previously done by another artist, it is considered a coverup/correction. In most cases, additional time is needed to color-correct the old tattoo or achieve even saturation throughout the new shape. For this reason, coverups and corrections are best done gradually: A first-timer session, a 6-week touchup, and then another 6-week touchup to perfect. In most cases, the Ombre method is best.

However, corrective work is not always an option. When doing coverups and corrections, we can only add color, we can't take any away. This means that your desired result must be slightly thicker and darker/bolder than what you're starting with. So we unfortunately have to send many prospective clients away for removal.

Some previously done work just can't be saved, and it'd be better to start fresh. Particularly if your desired result is the hair stroke look, or overall softer than what you're starting with, pigment must be removed. We do offer saline tattoo removal at TGF, and are partnered with a very reputable laser removal clinic nearby.

If you have previously done work that you'd like improved, please email photos and a brief history of the work you've had done to theglowfactory@icloud.com ASAP. That information will help us determine the best course of action for your unique case.

As you can see, choosing the right artist from the start is critical. Most clients that need to seek out corrective work or removal, end up spending about 4x as much time and money on their PMU as they had anticipated. Yikes!
