EYEBROW TREATMENTS
The eyebrow treatments I offer are great for a number of different clients... those looking to thicken and define their natural brows, or those who have very sparse or no hair at all. If your brows are patchy, thin, over-plucked or just not how you'd like them, no matter what shape, size or condition your current eyebrows are in, we can create the eyebrows you have always dreamed of! Eyebrows can be created from nothing with the different brow styles and techniques I offer.
How semi-permanent / permanent is it?
Semi-permanent means it will fade over time, and that if you want to keep your brows looking vibrant, top up appointments will be needed to maintain this look. Semi-permanent DOES NOT mean it will 100% fade away. You may always be left with remnants of ink under your skin, even 10 years from now. Everyone's bodies will process the ink differently, as well as your lifestyle choices affecting the longevity of the tattoo. Cosmetic tattooing is still a tattoo, so before anyone tells you any differently, please bare in mind that whether or not you refresh your eyebrows annually, you may still be left with a shadow if you don't wish to continue with annual top ups.

What is microblading / manual brows? (Styles 1 & 2)
• Done manually with a pen-like device that holds tiny sterile disposable needles (NOT A BLADE!) • Natural looking, mimicking hairs. • Detailed, delicate style, working best in dry/normal skin. • Softer healed results. For a bolder healed result, machine styles are best. • Great for clients who are more nervous or wanting to start out softer. • Annual top ups are usually between 9 & 12 months (once a year is recommended). What are machine method, ombre or combination brows? (Styles 3 & 4)
• Created with a pen machine that operates more like a traditional tattoo machine. • More like make up, looking fuller and filled in. • Less detailed style working for all skin types (oily, combination, textured skin etc). • Results can be soft or bold depending on desired outcome. • Great for clients who want to upgrade from microblading. • Machine brows are a good solution for covering old SPMU. • Annual top ups are usually between 12 & 18 months (once a year is recommended). What if I have oily/combination skin but want microblading?
If you're wanting to ease yourself into SPMU, you're more than welcome to start with microblading; it's ultimately your choice. The longevity of your microbladed strokes would be shorter than 'normal' so more regular top ups will be expected. 6/9/12 months down the line when you're due a top up, we can always change the technique! |
Microblading (manual tattoo) vs. Machine method
There is no difference in the permanency of manually (microbladed) or machine tattooed eyebrows. They're just different ways of implanting the ink into the skin. Both techniques are forms of cosmetic tattooing that aim to create or fill in eyebrows. One technique doesn't hurt more than the other, but the level of pain you feel will be dictated by your own pain threshold. Most clients are happily surprised by how little it hurts and many comment that threading, plucking or waxing is worse. I do apply numbing gels once the skin is open to keep you more comfortable throughout. The main difference between the two techniques is that machine method brows work on a wider range of skin types. Manually microbladed eyebrows are more suited to dry skin. Your skin will be assessed beforehand so I can make a recommendation of which technique and style will work best for you in the long run. Because your face is naturally oilier compared to the rest of your body, and coupled with this being a delicate tattoo to heal, two sessions spaced 6 weeks apart are needed for best healed results. Some clients, especially those who; use sunbeds, sunbathe, don’t use sun protection, have sun damaged skin, have oily skin, smoke, sweat a lot (from exercise, saunas etc), have a fast metabolism, have an iron deficiency, take regular medications, use chemical peels or anti aging products or harsh exfoliants, may need more than 1 touch up session to achieve their desired results. They may also need more regular top ups to keep their brows vibrant.

Eyebrow treatment - step by step
∙ Optional consultation (available for your peace of mind, not compulsory).
∙ Skin patch test (which can be posted to you or done at the consultation).
∙ For your first eyebrow appointment, please allow no less than 3 - 3.5 hours.
∙ When you arrive there will be a comprehensive form to complete before we can begin the session.
∙ I will take some 'before' pictures to keep as reference (for myself and insurance purposes) and to use on social media.
∙ We'll map your brows using your natural facial features. I'll measure and draw on (with a pencil) eyebrows that work with your face shape.
∙ Once the shape is complete, we will find a pigment colour that matches your brow hair or is slightly darker. The colour is also determined by your skin tone.
∙ After discussing your pigment colour, the microblading can begin! I'll explain the treatment to you as I go along so you feel comfortable.
∙ Throughout the session, I sit you up and down several times to adjust and improve symmetry.
∙ Once I am totally happy with the result, you can see your new brows and let me know of any changes!
∙ When we have finished your appointment I’ll take some ‘after’ pictures.
∙ You will receive thorough aftercare advice and will receive an aftercare kit and strict aftercare instructions.
∙ We’ll book your included 6 week top up appointment if we haven't already booked this in.
∙ At your 6 week touch up appointment we will go back over the brows the same way we did the first time, unless you would like to make any changes.
∙ Your healed brows should then last you around 9 -12 months (microblading) / 1 - 1.5 years (machine) before needing further work.
