The Beauty Lab Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

If brows have ever been a pain point for you — whether you over-tweezed in the nineties, lost hair through hormones or health changes, or just spend way too much time filling them in every morning — this episode is going to feel like a gift.

Shauna Nasri, founder of Nasri Aesthetics in Orange County and a cosmetic tattoo artist specializing in natural, soft brow enhancements, joins Monina and Velia for a full breakdown of the permanent brow world. She explains techniques, how she matches the method to your skin type, what the process actually looks like, and why her most rewarding client moments involve the words "I feel like myself again."

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Shauna's origin story — from childhood sketching to founding Nasri Aesthetics six years ago
• The four main permanent brow techniques: microblading, nano brows, powder brows, and hybrid
• Why skin type is the most important factor when choosing a technique (oily skin + microblading = a problem)
• How brow shape is mapped using facial structure — the nose bulb method, arch placement, and tail length
• What to expect during your first appointment and the one-to-two-week aftercare window
• Pain level: lidocaine before + during, and why most clients rate it a 2 out of 10
• What it means to "feel like myself again". Shauna's most emotional client stories
• The aging conversation: why brows and hair are the two things that most change how women see themselves in the mirror
