Combination Brows
When it comes to cosmetic tattooing procedures, we make sure you’re involved with allllll the decision making - think shape, design, and colour. The Shape Co understands this may be the most nerve-racking part of the treatment process, so it’s our goal to make everyone feel 100% comfortable with the brows you’ll be rocking.
I’ve just had my brows done. Now what?
Immediately post treatment your brows will look darker and heavier, however you can expect the colour to fade up to 40% in the 7-10 days post treatment, as well as shrink in size 10-15%.
Colour retention is individual. It will be dependent upon colour chosen during the procedure, natural skin type, lifestyle, skincare routine and whether aftercare instructions are adhered too correctly.

Feather Touch Brows / Microblading (2HRS)
$595 inc. GST
If you want a natural look to your brows, then this is for you. Super fine ‘hair like’ strokes are tattooed into the skin using a fine microblade and hand tool. These hair strokes are added to existing hair to create density and definition, they will help fill in gaps and add shape to the eyebrows where they are lacking.
The total cost includes:
The initial treatment session AND the 6-8 week perfection session
Tidy (thread/tweeze and trim) of the eyebrows on the day of your treatments
Aftercare pack

-
Combination Brows (2.5-3HRS)
$650 inc. GST
After a combination of fine hair strokes in the front or ‘bulb’ of the brow whilst the rest of the brow is tattooed with a soft powdery finish? Why not have both?!.

Want your brows emitting that ‘soft makeup look’? Powder Brows is your best bet.
Using the digital machine (again, less invasive on the skin compared to microblading), pigment is implanted into the skin to create a soft powdery finish. The pigment will start lighter at the front of the brow and gradually become deeper towards the tail of the brow and the base of the brow line.
Cue: a very soft pixelated look. Perfecto!

A bit of Shape Co lovin’:
“Brows frame the windows to your SOUL. Do not try and save dollars on micro blading. Go with the BEST not the cheapest. It’s your face, do not compromise.
Meg is friendly and kind but most importantly she is profoundly knowledgeable. Her professional manner and expertise speaks volumes when you see her clients excellent results. I am thrilled with my brows.”
— Vanessa
“Just had a lash lift & tint, as well as my eyebrows shaped & tinted - wow, absolutely love them! Meg is so good at what she does, being very particular to make sure they were perfect! Such a comfortable & relaxing appointment, couldn't recommend Meg more highly!”
— Ella Kate
“Meg has been taming my brows and lifting my lashes for the past 4 years, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with the job! It’s the best feeling entering Meg’s peaceful room, laying on the bed and knowing that I’m about to have my brows and lashes transformed by the best woman in the business (these days I don’t even look in the mirror afterwards because I have so much trust in her). Meg has such a friendly, down to earth, and kind nature which makes the experience even better. She honestly is a miracle worker, and the incredible brows and lashes walking around Adelaide are a credit to her! “
