If you’ve been searching “Powder Brows near me” and you’re based around Blackburn, Darwen, Bolton, Burnley or the Ribble Valley, you’re in the right place.
At The Brookside Hair, Barber & Beauty Salon, we specialise in soft, natural Ombre Powder Brows that enhance your features – not overpower them.

This Q&A guide answers all your biggest questions about Powder Brows, how they work, and why clients across Lancashire trust us for their brow transformations.

What are Powder Brows?

Powder Brows (also known as Ombre Brows or semi-permanent brows) are a cosmetic tattoo technique that creates a soft, shaded look—like perfectly applied brow powder that never smudges.
Instead of individual strokes like microblading, a fine digital machine implants tiny pigment dots into the skin for a smooth gradient finish—lighter at the front, darker at the tail.

How long do Powder Brows last?

Powder Brows typically last 1 to 3 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.
Regular colour boosts every 12–24 months keep your brows fresh and defined.

Are Powder Brows painful?

Not at all. We apply a professional numbing cream before your treatment.
Most clients describe the sensation as a gentle scratch or tickle - completely tolerable and worth the stunning results.

Who are Powder Brows best suited for?

Powder Brows are ideal for:

• Anyone with thin, sparse, or uneven brows
• Clients who want a fuller, defined, makeup-ready look
• Those with oily, mature, or sensitive skin (where microblading fades faster)
• Busy people who want low-maintenance beauty

What’s the difference between Powder Brows and Microblading?

If you want a natural, makeup-like finish that fades evenly, Powder Brows are the modern choice.

How do I prepare for my appointment?

Before your treatment at our Blackburn with Darwen salon, you’ll:

1. Attend a consultation and patch test (required by UK law).
2. Discuss your desired brow shape, tone, and style.
3. Avoid caffeine and alcohol 24 hours before your session to minimise sensitivity.

What happens during the treatment?

Here’s what to expect:

1. Consultation & Brow Mapping – We design brows that perfectly frame your face.
2. Numbing Cream Application – For total comfort.
3. Pigment Application – We gently shade pigment for the signature ombre effect.
4. Aftercare Guidance – You’ll receive a simple healing plan for best results.

Is there any downtime?

There’s no major downtime.
You may experience mild redness or light flaking for a few days, but you can return to normal activities straight away.
The full colour settles after 2–3 weeks.
