Machine-Created Hairstrokes for Beautifully Defined Brows
Nano Brows are a modern permanent makeup technique used to create fine, hair-like strokes within the eyebrow.
Unlike traditional microblading, Nano hairstrokes are created using a permanent makeup machine and fine needle rather than a manual microblading tool.
At Blink Beauty Bar, Nano Brows are performed using a fine 1RL needle configuration, allowing individual machine hairstrokes to be carefully created within the brow.
Nano Brows vs. Microblading
The biggest difference is how the hairstrokes are created.
With traditional microblading, hairstrokes are created manually. With Nano Brows, hairstrokes are created using a permanent makeup machine and fine needle. Both techniques can create the appearance of natural brow hairs.
One isn’t automatically better than the other.
Skin characteristics, natural brow hair, previous permanent makeup and your desired result can all influence which technique makes sense for you.
What Do Nano Brows Look Like?
Nano Brows are intended to create a hairstroke appearance rather than a fully shaded brow. Individual strokes are incorporated into the brow design to add the appearance of hair, structure and fullness. Clients wanting additional density or a more filled-in effect may also be candidates for shading or a combination technique.
Who Might Consider Nano Brows?
Nano Brows may appeal to someone who:
• Wants a hairstroke-style result
• Is interested in a machine-created brow technique
• Has sparse areas within the natural brow
• Wants additional shape or definition
• Is exploring alternatives to traditional microblading
Treatment selection should always consider the individual client’s skin, natural brow hair and previous permanent makeup.
Nano Brows vs. Powder Brows
The finished effects are different.
Nano Brows
individual machine-created hairstrokes.

Combination Brows

If you don’t know which one you need, you don’t need to decide before coming to Blink.
