Ombre brows transformation by Ira Bale, expertly crafted to enhance natural beauty while meeting the client's goals.

1. Does It Hurt?

Not really. We apply a high-grade numbing cream that makes the whole thing super tolerable. Most clients say it feels like light scratching. You’ve had worse from a tight ponytail.

2. How Long Does It Last?

Usually 18 months to 2+ years depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Touch-ups help maintain your perfect shape and color.

3. What’s the Healing Process Like?

• Days 1–3: “Omg I love them!”

• Days 4–7: Peeling stage (aka “brow dandruff” — normal, don’t freak out)

• Days 8–14: Fading as your skin heals

• After 4–6 weeks: Touch-up + final results 💥

4. Will They Look Too Dark?

Yes — for the first 2–3 days. That’s normal. They soften beautifully as they heal, revealing a natural finish.

5. Who Does the Tattooing?

Only Ira Bale herself. Always. Because we take brow tattooing very seriously.
