Eyebrow Embroidery

Combo Eyebrow

Two techniques in one session. Hair strokes are bladed in first, then soft pigment dots are shaded between them, giving a brow that is fuller and more defined than strokes on their own. Available at our Petaling Jaya and Penang branches.

RM1,000 First session
RM500 Touch-up, within 18 months
1 โ€“ 2 yrs How long it lasts
2 โ€“ 2.5 h Session time

Includes one free touch-up within 3 months.

Combo puts our 6D microblading and Signature shading into the same brow. The strokes give the hair, the shading fills the gaps between them, and the brow ends up fluffy and defined at the same time.

It is the service we recommend when there is little to no natural brow hair to work with, because strokes on their own need existing hair to blend into. It holds best on normal to dry skin. Subsequent touch-ups should be done within 18 months of your last session, as long as the shape and colour are still visible.

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 Combo Eyebrow Embroidery?

01
Built for sparse or thin brows
little to no brow hair

Hair strokes need existing brow hair to blend into. The shading underneath gives the brow a base, so Combo works where 6D Eyebrow or Nano Brows would still look thin.

02
Fuller and defined, still natural
strokes and shading

The shading adds depth and structure, the strokes stop it reading as a block of colour. Fluffy and polished at the same time, which neither technique gives on its own.

03
Two techniques, one session
combination

6D microblading and Signature shading are both done in a single 2 to 2.5 hour appointment, and healed together, so the two settle as one brow rather than as two layers.

Not suitable for
  • Oily or sensitive skin. The shading fades unevenly and the strokes blur. Nano Combo Brows does the same combination with a machine and suits oily skin, at RM 1,500 on our price list.
  • Dark or solid tattooed brows. Send us a close-up photo for assessment first.

Compare

Combo Eyebrow vs 6D Eyebrow

Both use the same bladed hair strokes. The only difference is whether shading goes in between them.

Combo Eyebrow
strokes ยท shading

Hair strokes first, then soft pigment dots shaded between them. Fuller, more defined, and structured enough to build a brow where there is little natural hair to work with. RM 1,000.

6D eyebrow embroidery, hyper-realistic individual hair strokes with no shading, Bowbowbrow
6D Eyebrow
strokes only

Realistic individual strokes and nothing else. The lighter, more no-makeup result of the two, and it needs some existing brow hair to blend into. RM 800.

Both need normal to dry skin. If your skin is oily, the machine techniques hold better: Nano Brows for strokes alone, or Nano Combo Brows for strokes and shading. Prefer a soft powdered finish with no strokes at all? That is Signature Eyebrow. Still unsure, our team will advise during your consultation.

How Combo Eyebrow Embroidery Works

Consultation and brow design
01
Consultation & Brow Design

We look at your face shape, brow structure and skin type, and how much natural hair there is to work with, then agree the design with you.

Numbing and preparation
02
Numbing & Preparation

Numbing cream is applied and the brow area is cleaned and prepared, so the session stays comfortable from start to finish.

03
Microblading & Shading

Hair strokes are bladed in first. Soft pigment dots are then worked in between them, until the brow reads as fluffy and defined together.

FAQs

Before you book

I have almost no brow hair. Is Combo the right one?

Usually yes. Hair strokes on their own need existing brow hair to blend into, so on a very sparse brow they can look like a few lines on bare skin. The shading gives the brow a base and the strokes sit on top of it, which is why Combo is what we recommend for little to no natural brow hair.

How long does Combo Eyebrow last?

Combo Eyebrow lasts 1 to 2 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle and aftercare. A touch-up every 9 to 12 months keeps the colour looking its best.

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 to 2.5 hours, covering consultation, design, numbing, the microblading and the shading.

Touch-up: 1.5 to 2 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: light scabbing and flaking. Do not pick at the scabs, because picking lifts the shading unevenly.

Day 10 onwards: the colour lightens and settles. The final result shows after 2 to 3 weeks.

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 Combo Eyebrow?

Oily or sensitive skin. The shading fades unevenly and the strokes blur. Nano Combo Brows gives the same combination with a machine and holds on oily skin, at RM 1,500 on our price list.

Dark or solid tattooed brows. The new colour may not blend over the old one. 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 red or blue over time?

No. We use high-quality pigments that fade into a soft, natural tone. Brown pigments may fade towards a light pink or light orange shade as they lighten, and a touch-up refreshes the colour.

Can I still wear makeup on my brows?

Yes, though it is usually unnecessary. Combo gives a filled-in look on its own, so daily pencilling is no longer needed. Brow powder or gel still works if you want extra definition on a given day.

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

RM 1,000 for a first session, which includes one free touch-up within 3 months.

Touch-ups after that are RM 500, 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 1,000.

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