the artist behind the arch
I'm Melissa Machino, the brow artist behind Arched by Mel. Every face is different, so every brow starts the same way: by mapping your features to find the shape that flatters you most. No stencils, no one-size-fits-all.
Whether it's the natural texture of a nano combo, the soft gradient of an ombré, or a perfectly mapped tint, my goal never changes: brows that look like they were always yours.
Three ways to your best brows, each designed around your face, never a template.
Natural hair strokes combined with soft shading for a fuller, more defined brow that still looks natural. Ideal for realistic texture with added depth.
A soft, powdered technique that creates a beautiful gradient that mimics softly filled makeup, for a polished, low-maintenance finish.
Custom brow mapping tailored to your facial features, followed by professional tinting to enhance shape, definition, and symmetry. Lasts up to two weeks.
Mapping, fresh sets, healed results & aftercare. Real brows, start to finish.
A few things clients often ask before their first appointment.
A numbing cream is applied before and during your service, so most clients feel only mild pressure or a light scratching sensation. Comfort varies from person to person, and Mel checks in with you throughout.
Results typically last one to three years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure. A periodic touch-up keeps the shape and color looking fresh.
Brows look bolder and a little darker for the first few days, then soften as they heal over roughly one to two weeks. Final color settles in around four to six weeks, which is when any perfecting touch-up is done.
Most people are. Certain conditions, medications, pregnancy, or breastfeeding may mean waiting or bringing a doctor's note, so the health history and consultation help Mel make sure the service is right and safe for you.
Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and blood thinners for 24 to 48 hours, skip brow waxing or tinting beforehand, and arrive with clean skin. You'll receive full prep details after you book.
