"In my school days I plucked my eyebrows far too thin and they never grew back. [...] I've literally never been happier, my whole face is reshaped, so natural looking."

Gemma, Bristol

"I have a scar across my forehead and left eyebrow and Ila made her magic to cover it up and fill it in. I'm so grateful, it changed my life!"

Who Ombré Brows suit

Ombré Brows suit you if you like a defined, polished brow and already fill yours in most mornings. At your free consultation, Ilaria checks your skin, your brows and the look you want before anything is booked.

Prefer a natural hair-stroke look? Ilaria may suggest Nano Brows, or Combination Brows: Nano strokes at the front and Ombré shading through the body and tail. Same price.

  • You love a defined, polished brow
  • You fill in your brows every day and want something that lasts
  • You have oily skin, where Ombré Brows hold very well
  • You want a fuller, more structured shape
  • You had PMU before and want a refresh or a colour correction

What happens at your appointment

Plan for 3 hours. Most of that time goes into the design, because the shape is what makes brows look natural.

  1. Consultation

    Your goals, your skin, and whether Ombré, Nano or Combination Brows suit you best.

  2. Brow mapping

    Measured and drawn on first, so you approve the exact shape before any pigment goes in.

  3. Colour and numbing

    A shade chosen to match or complement your hair, and numbing cream for comfort.

  4. The treatment

    Soft shading built up with a digital machine, lighter at the front and deeper towards the tail.

  5. Touch-up at 6 to 8 weeks

    Once healed, Ilaria refines the colour and shape for the final result (£100).

Ombré or Nano Brows?

Both use a digital machine. The difference is the finish: soft shading or fine hair strokes. Still unsure? Combination Brows mix the two.

Powder finish

Ombré Brows

  • Soft shading, like brow powder or a soft pencil
  • Holds very well on oily skin
  • Usually lasts 2 to 3 years
Hair-stroke finish

Nano Brows

  • Fine individual strokes for the most natural look
  • Usually lasts 1 to 2 years
  • See Nano Brows

How long Ombré Brows last

Ombré Brows are one of the longest lasting PMU techniques, usually 2 to 3 years, longer than hair-stroke techniques like microblading. A yearly top-up keeps the colour deep and fresh.

How they heal

Brows look darker for the first few days. The skin surface heals within 7 to 10 days and full healing takes 4 to 6 weeks, then your touch-up is booked in. The do's and don'ts are on the aftercare page. Read the powder brows healing process day by day.

Frequently Asked · Ombré Brows Bristol

Ombré Brows, answered.

What are Ombré Brows?
Ombré Brows, also called powder brows, use a digital machine to softly shade pigment into the skin, creating a gradient powder effect that is lighter at the front and deeper toward the tail. The finish looks like beautifully filled-in brow makeup that lasts.
Ombré Brows or Nano Brows, which should I choose?
It comes down to the look you want. Ombré Brows give a soft, shaded, made-up finish, while Nano Brows create fine, natural hair strokes. In your free consultation we will help you choose the right one, and some clients combine both.
How long do Ombré Brows last?
Ombré Brows are one of the longest-lasting semi-permanent techniques, typically holding for two to three years. A periodic top-up refreshes the colour and definition.
Are Ombré Brows suitable for oily skin?
Yes, the soft shading technique holds particularly well on oily skin, which is why Ombré Brows are often recommended where microblading would fade too quickly.
Do Ombré Brows look natural?
They can be as soft or as defined as you like. Tailored well, the gradient mimics lightly applied brow makeup: polished, but never harsh.
How much do Ombré Brows cost?
Ombré Brows at Ska Brows start from £250, including a free consultation to design the right shape and shade for you. The six-week touch-up session is £100.
What happens while they heal?
Your brows appear bolder for the first few days, then soften over one to two weeks. A six-week touch-up session then perfects the colour and shape.
Where are you and how do I book?
Ska Brows is on Gloucester Road North in Bristol (BS7 0SG), easy to reach from Filton, Horfield and Bishopston. Book your free consultation via WhatsApp.
Do you offer treatments outside Bristol?
Yes. Bristol (Gloucester Road North) is the home studio, and Ilaria also works by appointment in Amsterdam and in Calabria, Italy. See the dedicated Amsterdam and Calabria pages to book in those locations.
