A technician will use an embroidery tool to create small lines of ink along the brow line during a brow stitching process.
Eyebrow embroidery is a natural, semi-permanent alternative that many have chosen over eyebrow tattooing. In eyebrow embroidery, a local anesthetic cream is first applied to the area to minimize pain during the process. A technician then uses a special embroidery tool to draw tiny lines of ink that resemble eyebrow hairs along the brow line. The special ink used is a completely natural dye, more popularly known as henna. In general, the entire process takes about 45 minutes to an hour from start to finish, and the results provide bushy, polished brows that can last up to three years.
The eyebrow area must be prepared before an embroidery.
One of the main complaints about eyebrow tattoos is that they are extremely painful to do; They also tend to look unnatural when finished because eyebrow tattoos tend to color the entire brow area creating a fake looking blocking effect. Also, once the eyebrow tattoo is applied, it is permanent and can only be removed through several expensive and painful laser removal sessions. The eyebrow embroidery process was invented to solve these problems and appeal to a wider audience, both men and women. With eyebrow embroidery, small semi-permanent lines are drawn that truly mimic the look of natural hair, using a motorized needle instead of large solid blocks of color.

Before the embroidery can begin, the forehead area must be prepared. The area should be cleaned and the eyebrows plucked to the desired shape. At the completion of the preparation, a trained technician will numb the forehead area with a local anesthetic cream to reduce discomfort during the procedure. Once the anesthetic cream takes effect, the technician will use a special motorized embroidery tool to draw the eyebrow lines in the desired areas. In general, the entire process usually takes less than an hour.
