Services
Microblading
Microblading creates natural-looking eyebrows through manual pigment deposition. Our artists hand-draw individual hair strokes matching your natural brow pattern. This semi-permanent solution lasts 1-2 years with proper aftercare, offering a low-maintenance beauty solution for active lifestyles.
Powder Eyebrows
Powder eyebrows use machine-assisted pigment application for a soft makeup finish. This technique creates defined yet natural-looking brows with gradient shading. Ideal for oily skin types seeking longer-lasting results than traditional makeup.
Lip Treatments
Permanent lip treatments enhance natural lip color and shape. Our technique deposits subtle pigmentation to create fuller-looking lips with precise definition. Results last 1-2 years with touch-ups, maintaining vibrant color without daily makeup.
Eyeliner
Permanent eyeliner services define eyes with long-lasting results. Available in various styles from subtle lash enhancement to bold winged looks. The procedure takes 2 hours including consultation and numbing for client comfort.
Trainings
Our DPOR-approved 200-hour training program teaches permanent makeup techniques. The curriculum covers microblading, powder brows, and safety protocols. Designed for professionals seeking state certification in Virginia's regulated beauty industry.

Questions
What makes NOVAbrows different from other permanent makeup studios?
Our founder combines nursing expertise with artistic training, offering medical-grade safety standards and personalized techniques. We use premium pigments and maintain DPOR-certified training programs.
How long do permanent makeup results typically last?
Results last 1-2 years depending on skin type and aftercare. Oily skin may require more frequent touch-ups. Proper sun protection extends pigment longevity.
Is permanent makeup painful?
Most clients report minimal discomfort with our topical anesthetic protocol. Sensation is often compared to eyebrow threading. Individual pain tolerance varies but many clients relax during the procedure.
What aftercare is required following treatment?
Avoid water contact for 10 days and complete healing takes 4-6 weeks. We provide detailed instructions and aftercare kits including ointment for proper healing maintenance.
Can I get permanent makeup if I have sensitive skin?
We conduct pre-treatment consultations to assess suitability. While most skin types work well, those with keloid disorders or active skin conditions in the treatment area may not be eligible candidates.
