SHADE Ink Lab LLC

SHADE Ink Lab LLC is a permanent makeup studio in Charlotte, North Carolina, based in The Shops at Eastfield Village and focused on tattooed eyebrows. Their main service is the SHADE Signature Ombre-Powder Brow, a shading technique that builds up color with many tiny dots of pigment. The studio also offers Color Boost appointments at 12, 24 and 36 months, as well as cover-up color correction. According to the site, the powder method suits all skin types, oily and combination skin included, and results can last up to three years.

Treatment takes at least two sessions, spaced about eight weeks apart. The first visit runs roughly 3.5 hours. It starts with intake paperwork, a brief consultation and brow measurements so the shape can be designed before any tattooing begins, and numbing is applied during the procedure. The studio does not treat clients who are pregnant or nursing. Appointments are made through their online booking site and require a non-refundable deposit. For artists, The Learning Lab offers an ombre brow course, a 1:1 boot camp and mentor sessions.
