Eyebrow Embroidery

6D Eyebrow

A manual technique that etches fine, hair-like strokes into the skin with a handheld blade, following the direction your own brow hairs grow. Available at our Petaling Jaya and Penang branches.

RM800 First session
RM400 Touch-up, within 18 months
1 โ€“ 1.5 yrs How long it lasts
2 h Session time

Includes one free touch-up within 3 months.

6D uses a handheld blade to cut individual strokes into the skin, one at a time, in the direction your own hairs grow. The finish is fluffy and hair-like rather than filled in.

It holds best on dry to normal skin. Oily skin pushes pigment out of the fine cuts, so strokes blur and fade sooner. Because the strokes are so fine, 6D fades faster than our shaded and machine techniques, and most clients come back for a touch-up every 9 to 12 months.

If your brows were done by another artist and you want the shape or colour corrected, send us a close-up photo and we will check whether you can proceed.

Why choose it

Why Choose 6D Eyebrow Embroidery?

01
Realistic hair strokes
hairstrokes

Every stroke is cut by hand, following the direction your own hairs grow. Of our four services this is the one that reads most like extra brow hair rather than like makeup.

02
Best on dry to normal skin
dry skin

Dry skin holds the fine cuts cleanly, which is where 6D gives its sharpest strokes and its longest wear. Pigment retention is noticeably better than on oily skin.

03
The lightest of the six
no shading

6D adds no shading at all. If you want definition without looking like you have filled your brows in with a pencil, this is the service that gets closest.

Not suitable for
  • Oily or sensitive skin. Strokes blur and fade faster. Nano Brows gives the same hair-stroke look with a machine and suits all skin types.
  • Dark or solid tattooed brows. Send us a close-up photo for assessment first.

Eyebrow Embroidery vs 6D Eyebrow (Microblading)

These two get talked about as rivals. They are not. One is the category, the other is a technique inside it.

Eyebrow Embroidery
the umbrella term

Eyebrow embroidery covers every semi-permanent way of putting pigment into a brow, whether that is hair strokes, soft shading, or both together. All six of our services are eyebrow embroidery. What separates them is the tool and the finish.

Microblading, fine hair-like strokes cut into the skin with a handheld blade, Bowbowbrow
6D Eyebrow
also called microblading

Microblading is one technique within eyebrow embroidery, and it is exactly what 6D Eyebrow is. A handheld blade cuts fine strokes and pigment is worked into them by hand. It gives the most realistic individual hairs of any method, and it asks for dry to normal skin in return.

Want hair strokes but have oily skin? Nano Brows gives the same look with a machine. Want strokes and shading together? That is Combo Eyebrow or Nano Combo Brows. Prefer a soft powdered finish? That is Signature Eyebrow. Still unsure, our team will advise during your consultation.

FAQs

Before you book

What makes 6D Eyebrow Embroidery different?

It is a manual, bladed technique. Fine strokes are cut one at a time and follow the direction your own hairs grow, which gives a soft, fluffy, hyper-realistic brow rather than a filled-in one.

How long does 6D Eyebrow last?

6D lasts 1 to 1.5 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle and aftercare. It fades sooner than our shaded and machine techniques because the strokes are so fine, so we recommend a touch-up every 9 to 12 months to keep the colour and the strokes crisp.

Does it hurt?

Most clients find it tolerable thanks to the numbing cream. If you have a lower pain tolerance, we recommend avoiding your menstrual period when booking, as skin is more sensitive then.

How long does the session take?

First session: 2 hours, covering consultation, design, numbing and the embroidery itself.

Touch-up: 1.5 hours.

What is the healing process like? Will there be downtime?

Days 1 to 3: brows appear darker than the final result.

Days 4 to 10: scabs form and peel off naturally. Do not pick at them. 6D scabs more than the shaded services because the skin is cut.

Day 10 onwards: the colour softens and settles.

Your free touch-up can be booked from 4 to 6 weeks after the first session, once the brows have fully healed.

Who is NOT suitable for 6D Eyebrow?

Oily or sensitive skin. Strokes blur and fade faster on oily skin. Nano Brows gives the same hair-stroke look with a machine and holds on all skin types.

Dark or solid tattooed brows. Send us a clear photo for assessment before booking.

What colour options are available?

We customise a shade that complements your natural brows, typically in dark brown, grey-brown or grey. The shade is confirmed with you during the consultation.

Will my brows turn blue or green over time?

No. The pigment lightens gradually rather than shifting colour. As the strokes become less visible, a touch-up refreshes them.

Will 6D Eyebrow Embroidery damage my natural brows?

No. The technique works between and alongside your existing hairs. It does not affect how your natural brows grow.

Can I combine 6D with other services?

Yes. Combo Eyebrow puts 6D microblading and soft shading together for a fuller, more defined result at RM 1,000.

Which should I choose: Signature, 6D, Combo, Nano or Nano Combo Brows?
How much does 6D Eyebrow Embroidery cost in Malaysia?

RM 800 for a first session, which includes one free touch-up within 3 months.

Touch-ups after that are RM 400, valid within 18 months of your last session, as long as the shape and colour are still visible. If your brows have faded more than about 80%, or the shape is gone, the session is charged as a new set at RM 800.

The price is the same at both branches. Every other service is listed on our eyebrow embroidery price list.
