WHAT ARE PERMANENT BROWS?

Please remove from your mind the horrific images you may have seen of heavily tattooed or microblading eyebrows! We've all heard (or seen) the horror stories... Blue, Black, Green or even Red pigment that's been left in someone's skin or brows that look more like 'angry bird' then soft beautiful face framers! Believe me, no ones brows should be walking into the room before them. 

Medical grade Pigment is inserted into the top layer of your skin to look like hair strokes or powder like makeup, giving you brows that can last anywhere between 9 months - 3 years. These are considered cosmetic treatments and aren't as deep as traditional tattoos - which means the pigment can fade over time; unlike traditional tattoos where the ink stays in the dermal layer forever. 

I DO NOT recommend traditional tattoo methods or the ink which is used for these on the face, so please - whether you choose to book in with me or not, please please do your research as a lot of these images circulating online are results of the wrong methods, tools, pigment and artistry (or lack of) being used - more then likely from other countries as this isn't common practise in the UK... but still, always ask to see technicians portfolios, find out where they trained (and how long for), ask for images of healed results and find out as much as you can. Don't be tempted by people offering the service considerably cheaper - this is your beautiful face and it deserves the best. 

You would have come across many different terms for Semi permanent or permanent brow methods and styles, such as - Combination Brows, Powder, Ombre, microblading (both manual with a tool or by a machine) Hyper-realism or micro pigmentation. You might already be familiar with each of these and what they look like, but if not; Don't worry! Its what I'm here for. I can guide you and explain which will be right for you based on your preferences and how you'd like them to look at your consultation.

In a nutshell, semi permanent brows should look like your ideal shape which is tailored and suited to your bone structure, face and eye shape and most importantly - your style! Everyone's version of natural is different, which is why no treatment will go ahead with me, until we've had a thorough face to face consultation and I've given your brows a makeup transformation first, so that you can see ahead of time how they will look and make you feel before anything more permanent is carried out. #

Please ensure you are familiar with the terms and conditions and permanent makeup artists duty of care of this treatment before booking in.  

MICROBLADING

The semi permanent brows Microblading method is what's accelerated my name in the industry and probably what I am most known for, because my results are natural and the hair-like strokes have movement. I've dedicated my time to practising different hair growth patterns, so some people find it difficult to distinguish between the microbladed stroke and the real eyebrow hair, which is exactly what we want to achieve the most realist results possible. 

A handheld tool or machine is used to embroider pigment into the upper layers of the skin to fill in any sparse areas, as well as to rebuild a new shape or create the desired fullness and design of the eyebrows. Individual hairlike strokes are implanted throughout the brows in the direction of your natural hair growth to create the most natural looking and enhanced shape.

We are always looking for the "perfect eyebrow", which is generally our natural brow shape after professional grooming. This does not mean that the natural eyebrow shape cannot be reshaped to flatter you.

With more than a decade of experience in makeup, I work to apply my existing skill and knowledge of facial anatomy, bone structure, skin tones and colour theory to design and embroider the ideal brows for each individual.

Whether you want to choose a slightly altered or keep your existing shape, professional grooming is crucial for a more harmonious appearance. Because I understand the geometry of faces, I'll use measurements accordingly to create the most flattering brow that is as individual as you are! 'Realism' in microblading eyebrows achieves the ultimate natural finish, with brows that buck the trends and will NEVER go out of style. 

Results last 1-3 years. All bookings include a consultation, where all your questions can be answered and the treatment is thoroughly explained before committing to the appointment.

UNSUITABLE SKIN TYPES FOR MICROBLADING...

Very oily skin and/or very large pores on your forehead won't be suitable for eyebrow embroidery because the additional oils in the border between the Epidermis and Dermis may cause your skin to  reject the pigment or strokes may heal very powdery/fuzzy with loss of detail. Oilier skin will also need frequent touch-ups.

Heavily sun-damaged, very delicate, fragile, sensitive or problematic skin won't be suitable for Microblading, nor if you have skin conditions such as Eczema, Psoriasis, Rosacea, heavy Melasma. If any of these are present on the face, it will affect the retention and longevity of microbladed brows.
