Nano Brows
Nano Brows
Ultra-fine. Hyper-natural. Beautifully precise.
Nanoblading is an advanced semi-permanent eyebrow treatment creating ultra-fine, realistic hairstrokes with a precision nano needle.
A gentler alternative to traditional Microblading, Nano Brows are designed to create beautifully natural definition with less trauma to the skin — and are suitable for a wider range of skin types.
Natural. Precise. Almost impossible to detect.
“The goal isn't perfect brows. It's believable brows. Perfect for those who love brows which imitate the flow of natural brow hair.”
~ Ella
At Ella Fjord Studio, every Nano Brow treatment is individually designed around your unique features and your unique natural brow growth pattern.
Never templated, heavy or overdefined — just beautifully considered brows that look entirely your own.
A full consultation is included before treatment. Ella Fjord Studio is located in Southwark, London SE1 near London Bridge.
What are Nano Brows?
Nano Brows ~ sometimes referred to as Nanoblading or Nano Hairstroke Brows
are an advanced form of semi-permanent makeup that uses an ultra-fine machine needle to create individual hairstrokes within the brow.
Unlike traditional Microblading which uses a handheld blade, Nano Brows are created using a precision digital machine. Each stroke is carefully placed to follow the direction and movement of natural brow hair, creating fullness and definition while maintaining a soft, realistic appearance.
The Nanoblading technique allows greater scope for intricate hairstroke patterns, including overlapping strokes that imitate the natural formations and movement of real brow hair.
The goal is simple: brows that look like brows.
Why choose Nano Brows?
Nano Brows may be ideal if you're looking for:
A less invasive alternative to traditional Microblading
A gentler technique suitable for sensitive skin
A more comfortable treatment experience
Beautiful healed retention and longevity
Exceptionally fine, natural-looking hairstrokes
A technique suitable for a wider range of skin types
Because the hairstrokes are created with a precision machine rather than a manual blade, Nano Brows allow intricate control over the placement, direction and movement of each individual stroke.
The result is beautifully dimensional brows designed to blend almost seamlessly with your own.

Who are Nano Brows for?
Nano Brows can be particularly suited to clients who:
Have sparse, thinning or uneven brows
Want to restore missing definition
Prefer hairstrokes rather than a shaded makeup finish
Have sensitive, oily or mature skin that may not be ideally suited to traditional Microblading
Want an exceptionally natural result
Want to reduce the need for daily brow makeup
They can also offer a beautiful solution for clients experiencing brow thinning or hair loss, subject to individual consultation and suitability.
Nano Brows vs. Microblading
What's the difference?
Both treatments create individual hairstrokes designed to mimic natural eyebrow hair. The difference lies largely in how those strokes are created.
Nano Brows use an ultra-fine needle and digital PMU machine to create delicate hairstrokes. This allows greater freedom in the direction, movement and layering of strokes, helping to recreate the irregularity of natural brow growth.
Microblading uses a fine handheld blade to manually create individual hairstrokes within the brow. It remains a beautiful option for clients wanting subtle, hair-like definition and is particularly suited to normal-to-dry skin.
Nano Brows may be preferable if you have sensitive, oily or mature skin, want a gentler alternative to Microblading, or are looking for an exceptionally intricate hairstroke result.
Not sure which is right for you?
Or book a complimentary consultation and Ella will recommend the technique best suited to your skin, natural brows and desired result.
Before & After Expectations
Immediately after treatment: Your hairstrokes will appear crisp, defined and slightly darker than the final result.
During healing: The brows gradually soften as the skin heals and the pigment settles.
Fully healed: The hairstrokes become softer and more natural, blending amongst your existing brow hair.
Your final healed result is assessed at your follow-up appointment, where additional strokes can be added if required.
What Results Can You Expect?
Nano Brows are designed to create the appearance of real brow hair rather than makeup.
Expect:
Ultra-fine, natural-looking hairstrokes
Fuller-looking brows
Improved shape and symmetry
Natural movement and dimension
Soft definition without a shaded finish
The aim is for someone to notice your brows — not your permanent makeup.
Does the Nano Brow procedure hurt?
Nano Brows use an ultra-fine machine needle rather than the manual blade used for Microblading.
Many clients find the treatment surprisingly comfortable, and appropriate numbing is used during the procedure to help minimise discomfort.
Individual sensitivity will naturally vary.
How long do Nano Brows last?
Nano Brows are semi-permanent and gradually fade over approximately 2 years.
Retention varies considerably depending on your skin type, lifestyle, skincare routine, sun exposure and how your skin holds pigment.
Rather than promising an exact lifespan, your healed results will be monitored and a colour boost recommended when your brows need refreshing.
Will my brows look fake?
Quite the opposite.
Nano Brows are specifically designed to recreate the appearance of individual natural brow hairs.
Every treatment is designed around your existing hair growth, facial proportions and colouring. Stroke direction and placement are carefully varied to create a result that looks dimensional rather than uniform or “drawn on”.
Natural is not one brow shape.
It's creating the brow that looks believable on you.

FAQs
Are Nano Brows better than Microblading?
Not necessarily — they are different techniques.
Microblading creates hairstrokes using a fine handheld blade, while Nano Brows use an ultra-fine needle and digital PMU machine.
Nano Brows offer greater flexibility when creating intricate, multidirectional hairstroke patterns and can be a gentler alternative for the skin.
Do Nano Brows look natural?
Yes — natural-looking results are one of the main reasons clients choose Nano Brows.
Individual hairstrokes are carefully created to imitate the direction, movement and variation of real brow hair. Your brow design is personalised around your existing hair growth, colouring and facial features.
The aim is never to create a brow that looks tattooed.
It's to make people wonder where the permanent makeup actually is.
How long does a Nano Brow appointment take?
Allow approximately 3-4 hours for your initial appointment.
This includes your consultation, colour selection, bespoke brow mapping and the Nano Brow treatment itself.
Your appointment is intentionally unhurried. At this level of detail, precision matters more than speed.
Do Nano Brows hurt?
Nano Brows use an ultra-fine machine needle rather than the handheld blade used for traditional Microblading.
Many clients find the treatment surprisingly comfortable. Appropriate numbing is used during the procedure to minimise discomfort, although individual sensitivity naturally varies.
Do Nano Brows need a touch-up?
Your brows will be assessed once they have fully healed at 6 weeks. A follow-up session allows the healed result to be reviewed and additional strokes added where necessary.
Are Nano Brows suitable for oily skin?
Nano Brows are suitable for a wider range of skin types than traditional Microblading, including many clients with oily, mature or sensitive skin.
However, every skin type is different. Your suitability will be assessed individually to determine which brow technique is most likely to give you the best healed result.
Can I have Nano Brows over old permanent makeup?
Possibly, but existing permanent makeup must be assessed first.
Previous pigment that is too dark, saturated or incorrectly positioned can affect how naturally delicate Nano hairstrokes will appear.
If you have previous permanent makeup, book a complimentary consultation before scheduling your Nano Brow treatment.
How long do Nano Brows last?
Nano Brows are semi-permanent and gradually fade over time. Longevity varies depending on your skin type, lifestyle, skincare routine, sun exposure and how your skin naturally retains pigment.
A colour boost can be booked when your brows eventually need refreshing.
