As the age-old saying goes, your eyes are the windows to your soul. In the same vein, your brows are the curtains that frame these windows. They’re not to be neglected.
In the last few years, cosmetic eyebrow embroidery has taken the whole world (not just Singapore) by storm. That’s mostly because people are saving hours not pencilling and plucking their eyebrows; and, instead, having them shaped, designed, and colour-enhanced by an embroidery artisan.
What’s Eyebrow Embroidery?
Not to be confused with eyebrow tattoos, eyebrow embroidery refers to the technique of adding coloured pigment to your skin to fill all the empty spots on your eyebrows to make them fuller and flawless.
It differs from eyebrow tattooing in that it’s semi-permanent and can only last for a maximum of two years. It uses a feathering technique to enhance the colour of your brows to produce a more natural look by filling the empty spots with hair-like pigments that perfectly complements your eyebrows.
What’s the Cost of Eyebrow Embroidery in Singapore?
Like any other cosmetic procedure, brow embroidery is safe as long as you’re careful with where you choose to get it done.
An average eyebrow embroidery session will cost you anywhere between $600 and $2500, depending on the salon that you choose and the treatment products used. If you come across a salon that’s offering the service at much less, be sure to ask the right questions. Ask them about their quality of treatment, and what exactly are they doing to minimise the risk of infection.
Ask them about sterilisation and if the technician is certified, and by which company.
About Eyebrow Embroidery in Singapore
You have to be careful with where you choose to get the eyebrow embroidery done in Singapore.
And that’s because the procedure isn’t that well-regulated in the country. It’s offered everywhere – from the small salons in the heartland markets to luxe ones in Orchard; it’s not uncommon to across a salon advertising the service.
It’s to be however noted that the procedure is very pricey. You have to shell out several hundred bucks or a few thousand for a lazy luxury of not pencilling or drawing your brows every morning.
The amount you pay varies depending on several factors, the salon you choose, the technique used, and sometimes the experience and demand of the aesthetician.
Styles of Eyebrow Embroidery Styles
There are two common eyebrow embroidery styles: Microblading and micro/misty brows.
Microblading
This technique involves using a blade with microneedles to create fine pigments that mimic the natural strokes of your brow hair.
Gradient/Misty Brows
This technique has an ombre effect, quite similar to Korean style makeup.
Who’s it for?
Eyebrow embroidery procedure can work with absolutely anyone, both men and women. But ideally, it’s meant for people with over-plucked or thinning eyebrows or those with bald or empty spaces on their eyebrows.
Plus, after a certain age, your brow hair will stop growing. So, if you accidentally pluck your hair while styling your brows, then brow embroidery could be a solution worth considering.
It’s also an ideal solution for those suffering from alopecia.
What you should know about Eyebrow Embroidery Services in Singapore
It’s Meant for Pretty Much Anyone
Anyone who’s suffered from alopecia, trichotillomania, chemotherapy, or plain overplucking and over-tweezing is a candidate for Microblading.
It Requires Research
Don’t jump for the first eye embroidery artist that pop-ups. Since the procedure is semi-permanent, it helps to choose an artist you love and one that you’ll be more comfortable to work with.
Your Existing Brows guide it
You’re misguided for thinking you should trim or shave your eyebrows first before heading out for the procedure. Only the hair that falls outside the final shape will be removed. Otherwise, much of your eyebrow hair will remain intact.
It Only Takes a few Hours
The first thing your artisan will do is determine the shape of your brow. The procedure is semi-permanent remember. So, it’s only natural that they’ll want to go with something you like and are willing to keep for longer.
After that, they’ll proceed to numb the area and embark on Microblading, and that’s pretty much like it.
It doesn’t Hurt
The numb cream the artisan applies around the brow area is meant to minimise the pain. If anything, the procedure has been compared to tweezing or threading. Nothing to be scared of.

Why is eyebrow embroidery gaining popularity?
As with fashion and beauty trends, eyebrow trends are constantly evolving. Gone are the days whereby pencil-thin eyebrows were popular. Having thick, bold and neat eyebrows are currently an emerging beauty trend in Asia, Europe and even in the US.
Here are some reasons why eyebrow embroidery is gaining popularity in the 21st century.
It looks natural
Well-groomed eyebrows can help to highlight your face and accentuate your features. Eyebrow embroidery allows you to achieve natural-looking eyebrows which can be shaped in any way you prefer.
An experienced beauty consultant can also further add definition to your eyebrows by shaping them using colour pigments that match your brow colour.
Manageable downtime
One major concern that people have is the downtime after getting their eyebrows embroidered. The good news is that some eyebrow embroidery treatments, such as the Korean Combo Eyebrow Embroidery, have almost zero downtime! This means that you can step out of the salon confidently with perfectly groomed brows.
For other eyebrow embroidery treatments, the downtime is generally about a week. This is likely to have minimal impact on your daily beauty routine. During this period, aftercare is of utmost importance to ensure optimal results.
It is relatively long-lasting
As eyebrow embroidery can last for up to two years on average, it is no wonder that people are quickly catching on this beauty trend. The semi-permanent nature of eyebrow embroidery means that you will never have to draw your eyebrows on a daily basis. This is definitely a huge boost to those who wish to simplify their beauty regime.
It is relatively safe
Eyebrow embroidery is a relatively safe beauty procedure provided you visit a well-established and reliable beauty consultant. Ensure that you have done your due research on the salon, such as hygiene standards and level of expertise before committing.
How is eyebrow embroidery done?
The eyebrow technician will first discuss with you your preferred eyebrow shape. They may also recommend certain types of eyebrow shapes based on your existing brows and facial features.
When you have decided on your preferred eyebrow shape, the technician will trace your desired eyebrow shape using an eyebrow pencil. The technician will be able to make adjustments on the angle or length if necessary.
Once the desired eyebrow shape is traced, the technician will clean up your brow lines by removing any stray brows. They will then apply a numbing or cooling cream to reduce any possible pain sensation.
The procedure begins with the technician using a sterile blade to cut very small pieces of the top layer of the skin away. Your selected brow colour is then applied in its place.
What is the aftercare process like?
To ensure optimal results, it is recommended that you do not let your eyebrows come into direct contact with water for about a week. Doing so may cause the colour to fade. You may use a damp cloth to clean your face while avoiding your brow area.
The salon may also provide you with an aftercare cooling cream. This is to be applied around the brow area to facilitate healing.
After a week or so, small scabs may appear around your brow area. Avoid picking or scratching off the scab as this may cause an infection.
What you should look out for after your eyebrow embroidery session
As with any form of tattooing, eyebrow embroidery can carry certain risks. Here are some signs that your eyebrow embroidery may have been poorly done and should quickly be attended to.
Uneven fading
Your brows may look darker than usual after the embroidery is done. However, that is perfectly normal. After the scabs heal and your skin regrows, your brows are likely to fade to a more natural colour. Aftercare is extremely important to ensure that your brows fade evenly.
Acne breakout
Eyebrow embroidery is likely to open up the pores around your eyebrow area. This may trigger an acne breakout particularly if you have sensitive skin or open pores issues.
Infection
If your brows look reddish and swollen, it may have gotten infected. This could be due to poor hygiene standards of the salon or inadequate aftercare. If the infection persists, it is best to consult a general practitioner or dermatologist.
Is there a need to go for regular touch-ups?
After your first eyebrow embroidery session, you will likely have to return to the salon after two weeks for a touch up As the first ink application has only penetrated the surface of the skin, the colour is likely to fade after a while.
After the first touch up, the ink would have penetrated deeper into the skin. This then makes it semi-permanent and is likely to last for about one to two years.
How to ensure that you get the best eyebrow embroidery experience
Do not be shy in ensuring the technician gets it right
Going for your first eyebrow embroidery session can definitely be nerve-wrecking! As it is a semi-permanent procedure, do not be afraid to ask questions.
Ask your technician for the number of treatments she has done or testimonials of her work on satisfied customers. This can help to put your mind at ease before you commit to the treatment.
Ask for a top up of the numbing cream if you feel pain
The numbing cream may wear off too quickly depending on your pain tolerance. If you feel pain in the midst of your eyebrow embroidery session, do not hesitate to request for more numbing cream to be applied.
You can request for the technician to pause
If the pain becomes intolerable, voice it out to the technician. Do not be shy in asking for a little breather midway through the session.
Heed the post care advice
Different technicians may have varying post care advice. To ensure that you get the best results from your eyebrow embroidery session, listen and follow closely to their after care advice. Do not hesitate to ask them more questions if you are unsure of the exact post care process.
