The Le Kitsuné Hybrid Method

The Gold Standard

Our hybrid approach combines nano hair strokes with powder shading — leveraging the best of modern techniques while avoiding the issues seen with old-school manual microblading.

FULL LOOKING POWDER BROWS

The powder approach is effective at making your brows look "full" with its powder-like look

NANO HAIR STROKES

The nano blade approach develops individual detailed hair-like strokes that bring a pop of realism to your brows

MULTI-DIMENSIONAL & HYPER REALISTIC

The fusion of structured nano strokes with powder shading ensures full, defined brows. We troubleshoot any areas needing additional coverage to create a crisp, multi-dimensional outcome that looks hyper natural.

CUSTOM MAPPED TO YOU

Every eyebrow developed to align with your unique face shape, eye shape, and bone structure.

MINIMAL DOWNTIME

Most clients return to normal activities the same day. Expect minimal redness that fades within 24–48 hours — no one has to know unless you tell them.

CONSERVATIVE & REALISTIC APPROACH

We start with as little pigment as possible and schedule a free touch-up 4-6 weeks after your initial appointment to ensure we don't over-saturate your brows.

The Le Kitsuné Process

01

Initial Appointment — Building & Shaping Your Brows

Every set of new brows comes with an initial appointment and a touchup 4–6 weeks later when your skin has fully healed and the pigmentation is more set. We approach conservatively, building layers like a painting to create a soft, natural outcome. Everyone's skin takes on pigment differently — it's always better to add more in the second appointment versus trying to take it away.

02

Follow-Up Touchup — Locking In Dimensionality & Color

In your touchup we really lock in the dimensionality & color that will really take your brows to the next level. Don't worry — you will still look phenomenal after your first appointment, but your touchup will allow us to dial everything in perfectly!

03

Protecting Your Investment — Touchups Every 6–8 Months

Your brows are an investment — and maintenance keeps them looking their best before any visible fading or color shift starts. The goal is to look your best — and as your skin sheds cells, every tattoo fades and shifts a bit in color — and since your skin is ~16× thinner than your body, pigment on your face is more prone to fading and color shifting. We find that right after 6–8 months most will see a significant amount of fading or color shifting — so our clients come in right before their brows are expected to significantly fade or shift in color.

Your brows are an investment — maintenance keeps them looking their best. Facial skin is ~16× thinner than body skin, so pigment fades and shifts faster. Most clients see noticeable changes after 6–8 months — so we schedule touchups right before that window.

What You Need to Know Before Your Appointment

Video Transcript: What You Need to Know Before Your Eyebrow Microblading Appointment at Le Kitsuné

0:00 - Introduction
Welcome to Le Kitsuné, Manhattan's premier destination for permanent makeup and eyebrow microblading. In this video, we'll answer the most common questions clients have before their eyebrow appointment.

0:15 - What is the Hybrid Nano Brows Technique?
Our signature hybrid technique combines the hair-stroke precision of microblading with the soft shading of powder brows. This creates the most natural-looking, long-lasting eyebrows available in NYC. The nano technique uses ultra-fine needles for crisp, delicate hair strokes that mimic real brow hairs.

0:45 - How Should I Prepare for My Appointment?
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood thinners 24 hours before your appointment. Come with clean, makeup-free skin. Don't wax or tint your eyebrows for at least one week prior. If you have any skin conditions or take medications, please mention this during your video consultation.

1:15 - What is the Healing Process Like?
The healing process for eyebrow microblading takes approximately 4-6 weeks. Initially, your brows will appear darker and bolder than the final result. Within 7-10 days, the color will lighten by 30-40% as the top layer of skin naturally exfoliates. During healing, avoid swimming, excessive sweating, and direct sun exposure. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and products to ensure optimal healing.

1:50 - Does It Hurt? What About Numbing?
Most clients describe the sensation as mild discomfort rather than pain. We apply a topical numbing cream before the procedure and reapply as needed throughout your appointment. Many clients find the process so comfortable they relax or even doze off during the session.

2:20 - How Long Does the Appointment Take?
Your first eyebrow microblading appointment at Le Kitsuné takes approximately 2-3 hours. This includes consultation, design, numbing, and the application process. We never rush - perfection takes time, and your comfort is our priority.

2:45 - Why Does Le Kitsuné Charge Premium Pricing?
Our pricing reflects our artist's advanced training, premium imported pigments, sterile single-use tools, and the intimate boutique experience. Unlike high-volume studios, we limit appointments to ensure each client receives personalized attention and flawless results. Our clients are investing in eyebrows that look natural, last longer, and age beautifully.

3:15 - What Makes Le Kitsuné Different from Other NYC Studios?
Located in the heart of Manhattan, Le Kitsuné offers a luxury, private studio experience unlike typical salon settings. Our artist has trained internationally in advanced permanent makeup techniques and specializes exclusively in facial cosmetic tattooing. We use only premium, vegan, cruelty-free pigments designed specifically for facial skin.

Are You a Good Candidate?

Most People Are Great Candidates

Find your situation below. If you're still unsure, that's exactly what the free consult is for.

Sparse, Patchy, or Over-Plucked Brows

The most common reason clients come to us — and an ideal starting point.

Great candidate Learn more
Whether your brows thinned naturally, from over-plucking, or just never grew in fully — our hybrid technique builds realistic shape and density from scratch. We've done this for over 15,000 clients across every starting point.

Tired of Drawing On Brows Every Morning

Wake up done. No pencils, no stencils, no mirror-checking on the train.

Great candidate Learn more
Most clients say this is the single biggest quality-of-life upgrade they've made — and they wish they'd done it sooner. You wake up, your brows are already done. Every day.

Active Lifestyle — Gym, Swimming, Travel

Sweat, humidity, pool water — nothing moves your brows once healed.

Great candidate Learn more
You'll look put-together at the gym, at the beach, and everywhere in between without thinking about it. Permanent makeup is built for people who don't want to worry about their makeup coming off.

Oily Skin — Will Microblading Work?

Yes. Our hybrid technique is specifically designed to hold on oily skin.

Great candidate Learn more
Traditional manual microblading can blur on oily skin — which is exactly why we use a machine-based hybrid technique. The combination of nano strokes with powder shading holds better on oily skin and heals more predictably. We've worked with thousands of oily-skin clients specifically.

Want Subtle, Natural Brows — Not Overdone

Our entire approach is built around looking natural — not "done."

Great candidate Learn more
We start conservatively with minimal pigment, map everything to your bone structure, and layer up over two sessions. The result should look like you were born with great brows — not like you had a procedure.

Alopecia or Medical Hair Loss

We regularly work with clients who have partial or complete brow loss.

Great candidate Learn more
Whether from alopecia, chemotherapy, thyroid conditions, or other medical causes — our hybrid technique creates realistic brows on bare skin. We map the shape entirely from your bone structure and build up gradually. Many of our most meaningful transformations have been for clients with medical hair loss. See alopecia results in our portfolio →

Bad Microblading From Another Artist

Correction is one of our core specialties — we do this every week.

We specialize in this Learn more
Depending on the severity — whether it's a simple shape issue, moderate oversaturation, or heavy previous work — we'll create a step-by-step plan. Some corrections take one session; others take several. We'll be completely transparent about what's needed. See our correction process and real client journeys →
Talk To Us First

These situations may require timing adjustments or a quick check — but most people are still great candidates

Pregnant or Breastfeeding

Wait until after breastfeeding — but you can book your consult now.

Wait — then you're good Learn more
This is an industry-wide safety standard — not a concern about our specific technique. Many clients book their consult during pregnancy so they're ready to go when the time comes.

Blood Thinners, Accutane, or Retinoids

Temporary hold — these affect healing and pigment retention.

Temporary hold Learn more
Blood thinners: consult your doctor about pausing before your appointment. Accutane: wait 6–12 months after stopping. Retinoids (tretinoin, Retin-A): stop applying to the brow area at least 2 weeks prior. We'll walk through your specific situation in the consult.

Recent Botox in Forehead

Just wait 2–4 weeks for brows to settle, then you're good.

Wait 2–4 weeks Learn more
Botox can shift brow position slightly while it settles. We need your brows in their "final" position before we map your shape. If you get Botox regularly, schedule your brow appointment for the midpoint between injections.

Eczema, Psoriasis, or Acne in Brow Area

Depends on location and severity — clear brow area = typically fine.

Depends on severity Learn more
If the condition is active in the brow area, we need to wait until it clears. Working on irritated or broken skin affects pigment retention and increases healing risk. If your condition is elsewhere on your face or body and the brow area is clear, you're typically fine. We'll give you an honest answer in the consult.

Diabetes or Autoimmune Condition

Often excellent candidates when well-managed — may need doctor clearance.

Clearance may be needed Learn more
The key factor is how well your body heals. We'll ask you to check with your doctor first, and we'll review your situation together during the consult to make sure we set you up for the best possible result.
