Common Nano-feathering vs Microblading Questions

Will I get to see the shape design before treatment? How do I know if the shape is suitable for my face? +

At Glowtique, we understand the importance of a well-designed shape that complements your unique facial features.

Our experienced artists will assess your facial structure, your current brow's shape, colour and hair pattern before recommending suitable treatment techniques and creating a customised shape that suits you.

You will see the shape design before the treatment and have input throughout the process.

How do I choose the right colour? Will it turn blue/grey over time? Can colour be adjusted? +

We use advanced techniques and custom-mix colours to match your natural hair colour and skin undertone.

Unlike traditional microblading our colours will not change to blue or grey over time.

If you're concerned about existing old tattoos, we offer correction and cover-up services. However, please note that complete removal may require laser treatment.

How painful is it? +

Traditional microblading can be painful and requires numbing cream. That's why clients are so surprised to learn that our advanced techniques are so unique and so gentle that discomfort is minimal and numbing cream is NOT required.

Our clients often relax and even fall asleep during the treatment.

How long does semi-permanent makeup last? +

Our semi-permanent cosmetic tattoos last up to two years for brows, more than three years for lips, and more than five years for eyeliner.

With the correct technique, the colour will fade lighter over time without changing to blue or grey (as can sometimes happen with traditional microblading).

What do all the different techniques mean and how do I know the one that is right for me? +

We offer various techniques, including:

  • Nano-feathering: fine, super-gentle application that is more accurate and has faster healing than traditional microblading;
  • Ombre: colour graduation from light to dark;
  • Powder Brows: fine dotted application that appears like powder makeup; and
  • Combination Brows: a mixture of the above.

Our experienced aesthetic technicians will assess your facial features, current eyebrows and lifestyle to recommend the most suitable technique for you.

How do I know if this is safe for my health? +

Always ensure your technician is qualified and licensed by the local Council, with valid licenses for compliant infection control measures.

What if I'm not happy with my healed result? What if I don't like the colour or shape? +

Unfortunately we've often had to correct the poor work done elsewhere. Our experience has made us experts in correction and removal.

While it can be challenging to correct old mistakes our experience allows us to take on the trickiest cases to minimise problems.

Culturally, some skin tones need to be neutralised prior to treatment. This is to ensure final, lasting colour that's true to your chosen tone.

If you have never had a semi-permanent treatment before and you are unhappy with your final result, we'll happily adjust the colour or shape at no extra cost.

Why are treatments at Glowtique more expensive than elsewhere? +

Semi-permanent makeup is difficult to remove or correct so it can be risky choosing cheap offers where operators are inexperienced or cutting corners to get people through as fast as possible. Many technicians only have a single trending 'look' that they apply to everyone regardless of individual facial structure.

We guarantee:

  • Your satisfaction with beautiful results;
  • Advanced techniques that provide gentle and fast recovery;
  • Personalised design to suit your face and lifestyle;
  • No unexpected colour change to blue or gray;
  • Qualified, advanced and licensed aesthetic technicians;
  • Superior health and safety practices;
  • Follow-ups—we're genuinely interested in your progress;
  • Expert correction and removal services;
  • Custom-mixed colours to suit your personal goals.

What are the risks if I choose an inexperienced technician and end up not satisfied with my look? +

It's important to choose a well-trained and highly experienced technician to avoid disappointing results.

Semi-permanent makeup is difficult to remove or correct so it can be risky choosing cheap offers where operators are new/inexperienced or cutting corners to get people through as fast as possible. Many technicians only have a single trending 'look' that they apply to everyone regardless of individual facial structure.

Bad results can lead to stress, wasted time and money on laser removal, and months of bad-looking brows or lips. It's crucial to get it right the first time.

Worst-case it can lead to infection and permanent scarring. Glowtique takes your health and safety seriously by taking the time to ensure excellence in hygiene and infection control practices.
