COMBO BROWS IN JACKSONVILLE, FL
Hair-stroke + shading eyebrow tattooing for natural fullness and long-lasting definition.
What Are Combo Brows?
Combo Brows are a semi-permanent eyebrow technique that blends hair-stroke artistry with soft shading to add both structure and fullness.
​
At North Florida Microblading in Jacksonville, FL, Combo Brows are created using:
-
nanoblading machine hairstrokes for realism
-
powder shading for density + shape enhancement
​
The result is a brow that looks naturally full at the front, and beautifully defined through the body and tail—the perfect blend between Nano Brows and Ombre Shading.
This method is ideal for clients who want the detail of hairstrokes without sacrificing fullness or color saturation.
What Combo Brows Can Improve
Combo Brows are an excellent solution if you:
-
have thin or sparse brows but want better fullness
-
have thick natural hair in some zones and bare skin in others
-
want realistic texture at the front with soft shading behind it
-
struggle with uneven shape or asymmetry
-
have over-plucked, over-waxed, or patchy hair patterns
-
want a defined brow without using makeup daily
-
have prior fading microblading/PMU that needs blending
-
want brows that look polished, not “drawn on”
​
Combo Brows deliver a structured brow shape while keeping the front soft and realistic.
Why People Love Combo Brows
Clients choose Combo Brows because they:
-
offer more fullness than hairstrokes alone
-
look natural in person and in photos
-
reduce daily makeup time
-
balance brows that have uneven natural density
-
add shape where hair simply will not grow
-
heal softer than makeup but richer than hairstrokes
For many people, the biggest benefit isn’t the color —
it’s finally achieving a brow that matches their facial features, every single day, without work.

​
Combo Brows vs Nano Brows vs Ombre Powder Brows
Combo Brows bridge the space between micro hair strokes and powder shading.
​
Combo Brows:
-
most customizable
-
textured fronts with shaded bodies
-
perfect for uneven natural density
​
Nano Brows:
-
full hair-stroke work
-
best for soft natural texture
-
not ideal when density is needed everywhere
​
Ombre Brows:
-
powder shading only
-
best for bold definition or very oily skin
​
If you are unsure which to choose, we help determine the ideal match during consultation
Who Is a Good Candidate For Combo Brows?
You may be a great match if you:
-
want hairstrokes plus shading
-
have normal, combination, or oily skin
-
want the most customizable brow style available
-
wear brow makeup daily and want a softer, permanent version
-
want structure through the body + tail, not just the fronts
Combo Brows are especially ideal for:
-
uneven brow density
-
thick hair in one zone + bare skin in another
-
clients with makeup-forward preferences
​
If your skin is extremely oily or mature and you want full density everywhere, Ombre Brows may be a better fit.
Why Combo Brows Require Two Techniques
Combo Brows are not simply “strokes plus shading everywhere.”
​
Because the skin cannot accept:
-
hair strokes and shading in the same exact skin
-
at the same session
placement must be strategic.
​
At your appointment, the brows are:
-
mapped to show where hair strokes will look most realistic
-
shading is built where density is needed
​
If a client needs both in the same area,
strokes are done first, then shading is added after healing — usually at the touch-up session.
​
This protects the skin, prevents pigment muddling, and gives the most natural healed result.
​
