About the studio
Is Nazora Studio the same as Beauty Brows Center?
Yes — Nazora Studio is the new name for Beauty Brows Center. Same artist (Natalie Ruiz), the same techniques and the same standard of work. Only the name and our address changed.
Brows
How long does permanent makeup last?
Brows last roughly 1–2 years — most clients see 18–24 months — depending on skin type, lifestyle and aftercare. A touch-up every 6–12 months keeps them looking fresh.
Does it hurt?
It's very tolerable. We use a topical numbing cream, and most describe it as more pressure than pain. Sensitivity varies from person to person.
Does it work for every skin type?
Nano Brows suit every skin type, including oily and mature skin. Microblading is best on dry to normal skin — on oily skin the strokes blur faster, so we'll guide you to the technique that lasts on your skin.
How long does healing take?
About 7–10 days of surface healing — light flaking and a slightly darker look at first are normal. Your true color settles over 4–6 weeks, and a touch-up is booked 4–6 weeks later.
Microblading or Nano Brows — which is better?
Neither is “better” — it depends on your skin. Microblading gives the most hand-drawn look on dry/normal skin; Nano is machine-precise and works on all skin types, including oily. Send a photo and we'll recommend honestly.
How much does it cost in Tampa?
Microblading from $400, Nano Brows (Combo Nano + Shading) from $549, Combo Brows from $480 and Lip Blush from $550. A 4–6 week touch-up is $149. Flexible payment is available.
Lip Blush
What is lip blush?
A semi-permanent technique that adds soft color, shape and definition to your lips with custom pigment — for a more even, subtly vibrant finish, never a lipstick look.
How long does lip blush last?
Around 2–3 years, depending on your skin, metabolism and lifestyle.
Can I choose the color?
Yes. Color is chosen with you, based on your natural tone and whether you want a soft wash or more definition.
What if my lips are dark or uneven?
Darker or uneven lips can need an extra session to neutralize the tone before your chosen color settles evenly. We'll tell you what to expect at your consult.
How long does it take to heal?
About 7–10 days of initial healing, with light peeling around days 3–5. Final color appears around 6 weeks, and a touch-up is booked at roughly 35 days.
