Permanent brows are for anyone! Whether you just want to stop worrying about smudging and melting makeup, to restore over plucked brows or feel like yourself again after medical or hormonal issues.
Brows frame the whole face and help enhance the natural beauty of your eyes
The shape of your brows can even be a great trick to help you feel more youthful by lifting the tails slightly to open up the eye area.
Realism Brows are by far my most popular treatment and my favourite to do.
Like microblading; Realism Brows is a form of cosmetic tattooing that creates fine strokes to mimic brow hairs. There are a few differences between microblading and machine hairstrokes;
Realism Brows are completely bespoke to each client. I take into account your natural colouring, anatomy and your personal style to create something that suits your face and how you like to express yourself.
They generally last between 1-3 years before requiring a refresher/top up.
This style is best for people who prefer a ‘realism’ look when it comes to their brows. If you already have plenty of hair in your brows then the pattern created will flow with what is already there. If you have completely lost your brows then this treatment is perfect for a very natural look.
Soft powder brows is another form of cosmetic tattooing, however, it is a shading technique. I call them ‘soft’ powder brows because I use a borderless and low saturation technique to create a more natural finish.
Soft powder brows are great for all skin types, especially mature skin, as they will generally heal well and fade out very evenly over the years. They will provide shape, density and polish without looking overly done.
As with the Realism Brows, they are completely bespoke; shaped and coloured for you as an individual.
Combination brows make use of both hairstroke and shading techniques to create something that blends together seamlessly.
Combination brows have been very popular with my clients in the past, however, after gaining a lot more experience with them in the past year, I believe that it is better to choose one or the other. I may still do a combination of powder and hairstrokes by special request after a consultation.
The longevity of brows is dependent on many different factors including pigment choice, technique, sun exposure and aftercare, but they will generally last a minimum of 12 months before any significant fading.
Permanent brows should last at least 12 months and can last for many years after that. It is dependent on many factors that vary from person to person, such as; your skin type, style choice, pigment choice, sun exposure and even certain medications that may cause your body to break down pigment quicker than others. Generally though it’s between 1 and 3 years before you would need to refresh them.
Brow appointments are between 2 and 4 hours. Powder/shaded styles take less time, hairstrokes take a lot more as they are more intricate and detailed. Top ups range from 1-3 hours, and we can discuss this before you come back if you stay in touch with me on your healing.
Most of my clients rate it a 2 or 3 out of 10 on a pain scale (10 being unbearable) and tend to say it feels like a light scratching or a tickling sensation when numbing products are used. People who have more sensitive skin or nerves may feel it slightly more. Being on your period can also make you more sensitive. The general consensus I get is that it’s just a little uncomfortable at first, but you get used to it quite quickly, and the treatment is quite relaxing.
Aftercare advice will be tailored to your skin type and the style of brow you have chosen.
Generally it will take 4-6 weeks for brows to fully heal and to see the true results and what needs to be adjusted at top up. This may look like
Healing generally takes between 2-4 weeks. Your brows will be darkest when they are first done as the pigment is freshly implanted and blood will rise to the surface of the skin. After 3-5 days you may get some scabbing (more so with powder styles than hairstrokes) but these will come away fairly quickly if you follow the aftercare advice. After a few weeks your brows may go through a ‘ghosting phase’ where pigment may seem like it disappears or fades too much, but this is just your freshly healed skin exfoliating. By week 4 we should see the true colour and result and you’ll be ready for your inclusive top up appointment. If you are managing a condition such as diabetes we may need to leave longer between your appointments as healing may take longer, and we want to be sure your skin has fully repaired.
We should never get to that point. I make sure to spend between 30 and 60 minutes on templating and colour consulting alone so you are absolutely sure before we start. You will have every opportunity to stop, change what we’re doing, and even wipe it off and start all over again with no judgement! This is your face, and I take it very seriously. You may find you get a bit of “Brow Shock” when they are first done, but you need to trust the healing process, as everything will lighten up and soften up within 4 weeks.
If you do not like them after that there are removal options but these will be at additional cost and some can be quite painful; saline removal, glycolic removal and laser removal are all options to undo or lighten your brows.
I understand why people ask this question as I too want to know what goes into pricing when I’m spending a lot of money! I have carefully worked out my prices based on my overheads which includes things like rent, insurance, my council license, marketing and advertising. I also account for my materials, and I aim to always use high quality pigments, needles and aftercare so I can ensure my clients have the best care from me and a good healing journey. Then there is the cost of my training and continuous development, my time, and paying myself a wage.

All of my brows are done using a digital device and an ultra fine needle (I do not offer microblading). Most customers say this is a 2 or 3 out of 10 on the pain scale, however, I am able to offer pre-numbing for very sensitive clients and can use secondary numbing to make the experience as comfortable as possible; this can be arranged as part of your consultation and paperwork.
An appointment is generally between 2-4 hours depending on style selected (hairstrokes take longer to do) and this will consist of:
