Combination Eyebrows
Dimension and Definition, Seamlessly Combined
Combination Brows blend the natural elegance of microblading hair strokes with the soft, shaded depth of Powder Ombré. The result? Brows that look effortlessly full, perfectly defined, and tailored to your unique features. This technique is ideal for those who love a natural front with added density and definition toward the arch and tail.
Book your combination browsWhat are Combination Brows?
The result is the realism of microblading with the makeup finish of powder ombré.
I use a cosmetic tattoo machine for the shading, and a hand tool for the strokes. Together, they create definition that photographs beautifully and still feels natural up close.
- Fine, hair-like strokes at the front or through key gaps
- Soft machine shading through the body and tail for depth
- Soft and natural at the front, defined at the tail for perfect balance
- Lasts longer than microblading alone; typically 2–3 years with touch-ups
- Fully customizable from soft and natural to bold and defined

Strokes first, then shading behind them.
Cher uses a personalized approach, mapping your brows to enhance facial symmetry, matching pigments to your skin tone, and blending techniques for a flawless finish that lasts.

Who combination brows suit, and who they do not.

I'm Cher, a licensed and certified cosmetic tattoo specialist and the owner of Brows by Cher. Since 2007, I have personally had my brows tattooed 14 times over the years. Treatments that range from Microblading to touch ups to powder ombré, so I know what it feels like to be on the table, to heal, and to live with semi-permanent brows in real life.

MELODY, 28 · Google reviewSHARPER THAN EVER
I was nervous to try permanent brows, but Cher put me at ease and nailed the exact look I wanted. People can’t even tell they’re tattooed, just that I look sharper. Won’t trust anyone else.
Jake, 41 · Google reviewLEVELED UP MY LOOK
Hands down, the best decision I’ve made for my face. Cher didn’t just give me brows, she gave me an entirely new level of confidence. Absolute brow genius. I really appreciated how she explained the process as we went, and I felt completely at ease in her presence!

FAQ: Combination Brows Calgary
Everything you need to know before you book.
How long do combination brows last?⌄
Combination brows are a long-lasting option that gradually fade over time instead of all at once. How long they hold on your skin depends on factors like oiliness, sun exposure, and skincare products. Touch-ups at Brows by Cher in Calgary help keep your shape and colour fresh.
Do combination brows hurt?⌄
Most clients feel mild scratching with the strokes and a vibration with the shading, but not sharp pain. I use topical numbing throughout your appointment to keep you comfortable. If you are nervous about discomfort, tell me and I will adjust the pace and numbing for you.
Are combination brows good for oily skin?⌄
Combination brows can work well for mildly to moderately oily skin, because the shading helps where strokes alone might fade faster. If your skin is very oily, I may recommend powder ombré brows instead. In your Calgary consult, I look closely at your skin before suggesting a technique.
What is the difference between combination brows and nano combo brows?⌄
The terms are often used the same way. Both describe brows that mix hair-like strokes with machine shading. Some artists use “nano combo brows” to highlight using a machine for very fine strokes. At Brows by Cher, I focus on the healed look and choose the tools that work best for your skin.
How much do combination brows cost?⌄
Combination brows with Brows by Cher are $700, plus a mobile surcharge depending on your location in or outside Calgary. This includes your full design, initial treatment, and detailed aftercare guidance. Touch-up pricing is listed separately on the main pricing page.
Will my combination brows look too dark?⌄
They look darker and warmer in the first days, then soften as they heal. I choose your pigment and technique with this in mind so the healed result suits your skin tone. You will see examples of healed work so you know what to expect from Brows by Cher in Calgary.
Can you do combination brows over an old brow tattoo?⌄
Sometimes. It depends on how dark, cool, or uneven your old tattoo is. In many cases, a correction and camouflage appointment is better before or instead of new combination brows. I always assess previous work in person or via clear photos before booking.
When will I need a touch-up?⌄
Most clients return for a touch-up once the initial brows have fully healed and settled. This lets us refine any areas that healed lighter and adjust colour or shape if needed. After that, touch-ups are spaced out based on how your brows fade.
Is there downtime after combination brows?⌄
You can return to most of your normal routine right away, but you will need to keep the area clean, avoid heavy sweating, and skip swimming and saunas for a short period. I give you clear written aftercare so healing is smooth and predictable.
Do you offer mobile combination brows across Calgary?⌄
Yes. Brows by Cher is a fully mobile brow service based in Calgary. I travel within the city and to select surrounding areas for a mobile surcharge. During your consultation, we confirm your location and set up the details for your in-home or pop-up appointment.
Your brows frame every expression you make. When you are ready to upgrade them from daily makeup to a signature shape that stays, I am here.
