Eyebrow Embroidery
TYPES OF EYEBROWS
Microblading Wildstroke
Microblading Wildstroke - Using fine-lining strokes to add depth and volume, this technique achieves a natural look through various brush strokes, blending seamlessly with your existing eyebrows. The ultra-fine 0.18 cm tiny needles create the thinnest lines possible, mimicking your own eyebrow hairs for an incredibly natural effect.
Misty
Misty - This technique uses pixelated dots to replicate the look of powder-filled brows, creating a soft and natural appearance with a gentle front and outline. It offers a range of pigment shades, from the lightest to the darkest tones, ensuring a beautifully soft and powder-filled brow.
Hybrid
Hybrid Brows (Microblading + Misty) - This technique combines the softness of microblading strokes with the refinement of shading from micro-pigmentation. It's highly recommended for individuals with oily skin, excessive perspiration, or those seeking a beautifully filled-in appearance.
Men’s Embroidery
Men often have thicker, wider, and coarser eyebrows, and our approach acknowledges these differences. We typically recommend Hybrid Embroidery, a versatile solution suitable for both men and women with thin or sparse brows. It's perfect for those seeking a brow redesign, adding natural-looking hair strokes to fill gaps, increasing volume, and enhancing brow texture.

Types of Colours
Colors are an important component of embroidery. It sets the tone for the entire piece of work. Our colour choices are all safe & certified from PhiAcademy. Our brow specialist will recommend based on one’s skin condition, brow hair colour & expectation of outcome right after the consultation and design session. We are also trained in colour combination which allows us to find/suit the perfect colour for you!
Over the next 7 to 14 days, you may experience the following after-effects:
Tenderness
Dryness and itchiness
Mild swelling
Slight Redness
These post-procedure effects vary depending on your skin’s sensitivity
In the first 1 to 2 days following your eyebrow embroidery, expect your brows to appear noticeably darker, with the area feeling soft and tender. In most instances, the underlying skin will continue to be slightly red, which can cause the site to look darker.
Next, on the third day onwards, dryness and itchiness will set in accompanied by scabbing.
Typically, within the initial 7 to 14 days, the color may fade by around 30-50%. The extent of fading varies based on factors like pigment depth, skin type, and sun exposure. After scabbing subsides, expect your brows to take on a softer, more natural appearance.
Colour will finally settle in around 1-2 months, remember to make an appointment with your brow artist for touch-ups during this period if colour retention is not to your liking
First time appointments: 2 hours
Touch up appointments: 1 hour
-
Sun exposure can cause fading and damage to the pigment. Limit your time under the sun to preserve the color's longevity.
-
Avoid applying sunscreen and foundation directly onto your brows to prevent a potential bluish tint. If you have accidentally applied sunscreen or foundation, use a clean cotton pad or swab to delicately remove the product.
-
Some skincare products and treatments, such as chemical peels and exfoliants, can cause the pigment to fade faster.
-
Activities like swimming in chlorinated pools or frequent sauna use may impact the duration of your eyebrow embroidery. Exercise caution and consider protective measures when necessary.
-
Eyebrow embroidery is a semi-permanent procedure, and over time, pigment fading is natural. To keep your brows looking their best, book touch-up sessions with your artist as advised, usually every 6-9 months, to retain the desired shape and colour.
In countries with a colder climate, Misty/Ombre Brows and Hybrid Brows will last between 2-3 years on average with a colour refresh in between. Microblading, on the other hand will last between 1.5-2 years on average. However, due to the nature of our climate in Singapore, we observed there is a general reduction of 6 months in colour retention. Thus, we would usually recommend customers to come for a colour refresh after the first six months. Ultimately this serves only as a general guide and how long will the eyebrow embroidery last also depends mainly on the following:
* quality of pigment used
* depth of micro-pigments
* lifestyle
* skincare regimes
* overexposure to sunlight
* constant skin exfoliation
* oil control skincare products
