Combo Brows -
Permanent Makeup in Toronto
Combo Brows are the perfect balance between soft shading and realistic hairstrokes. At Powder House Toronto, this hybrid technique combines the fine, hair-like precision of Nano or microbladed strokes at the front of the brow with the soft powder shading of an Ombré Brow toward the tail. The result? Brows that look both naturally full and beautifully defined.

This method is ideal for clients who want more structure than Nano Brows alone but still love the look of realistic strokes. Every set of Combo Brows is custom-designed to your facial features, skin tone, and desired intensity — from soft and natural to bold and glamorous.
Your artist will carefully map your brows for symmetry and balance before beginning the procedure, ensuring a shape that enhances your natural beauty. Results last 1–3 years, depending on your skin type and lifestyle.
Client Testimonial
I don’t trust anyone but Dasha with my brows! I first went to do my powder brows with her years ago and have been only seeing her since! She enhanced the look of my brows which in turn enhanced the appearance of my face after the first session and I was hooked. Every 2-4 years I see her again for a touch up. I am always pleased with the outcome. She is constantly educating herself, while improving her skills and the results speak for themselves! Please DO NOT Hesitate to have her do your brows. You WILL leave impressed with her service, perfectionism and customer service.

Why Combo Brows?
Combo Brows are the perfect choice for anyone who wants the best of both worlds; the soft, shaded look of Ombré Brows combined with the realistic hair strokes of Nano. This hybrid style creates natural dimension and fullness while maintaining a clean, defined brow shape.
Combo Brows are ideal if:
You have sparse areas that need more density.
You want brows that appear full but still natural.
You love the fluffy hair-stroke front.
You have normal to slightly oily skin types that may not hold hairstrokes alone.
This versatile technique works beautifully for most clients and offers long-lasting, low-maintenance results. You’ll wake up every day with perfectly balanced, effortlessly beautiful brows — no pencils or powders needed.
