Ombre Microshading by Zahra
Softly shaded, long-lasting brows with a polished finish.
If you love the look of fuller, more defined brows but still want them to feel soft and natural, ombre microblading offers the perfect solution. At Browz by Zahra, this advanced brow tattooing technique is performed with skill, care, and precision — all from Zahra’s private clinic in Hanley Farm, just minutes from central Queenstown.
Ombre microshading (also known as powder brows) creates a soft gradient effect, with lighter pigment at the front of the brow that gradually deepens toward the tail. The result is a smooth, makeup-ready finish that resembles a gentle brow tint — ideal for anyone who loves a bit more structure and staying power, without harsh lines or a heavy appearance.
Zahra brings years of experience to every appointment, not only as a cosmetic tattoo artist, but as a qualified nurse with a background in skin and aesthetics. Before settling in Queenstown, she ran her own successful cosmetic clinic in Australia, where her eye for detail and calm, clinical approach earned the trust of hundreds of clients. Now, clients from across Central Otago, including Wanaka and Cromwell, visit her Hanley Farm studio for brows that are both beautiful and expertly done.
Unlike traditional blocky brow tattoos of the past, ombre microblading is custom-blended and tailored to your unique features. Zahra carefully maps each brow, matches the pigment to your skin tone and natural hair colour, and builds the shaded effect in layers for a natural fade. The final result is softly filled-in brows that hold their shape for 1–3 years with proper care.
Each session begins with a full consultation, where Zahra listens to your goals and walks you through the process in detail. Her background in nursing means your comfort, safety, and skin health are always top priority — and her artistry ensures the results feel like you, only more refined.
This treatment is ideal for those who regularly fill in their brows with pencil or powder and want a more permanent solution. It’s also well-suited to all skin types, including oilier skin where traditional hair-stroke microblading may not hold as well.
Clients regularly make the trip from Wanaka, Cromwell, and other parts of Central Otago to Zahra’s quiet, welcoming studio in Hanley Farm, Queenstown. With a reputation for natural, long-lasting results and personalised service, it’s a space where you can feel completely at ease — and walk out feeling polished, confident, and like the best version of yourself.
