Microblading (also referred to as Microstroking, Eyebrow Embroidery, Feather stroke Brows, 3D Brows etc) is a form or semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing. Permanent in that it may never completely disappear but semi permanent in that it will gradually fade over time. Although Microblading may seem to be a relatively new treatment, it has actually been around in various forms for a very, very long time. Originating from Asia, it has been an increasingly Popular beauty treatment for the last 25 years and has cosmetic tattooing roots dating to more than 5,000 years ago.

Microblading is for everyone! People suffering from Alopecia, or any other condition that causes hair loss, benefit greatly from Microblading, as well as people who simply aren’t happy with their eyebrows. The results of Microblading are natural, flawless, fuller looking eyebrows.

There are many benefits of Microblading depending on your reasons for originally wanting the treatment done. Some of the key benefits for everyone are: - Less time getting ready. - Waking up with smudge proof, water proof eyebrows. - Less or no brow make-up required. - More youthful appearance. - Fuller, thicker brows. - More confidence without make-up.

A full consultation will take place at the start of your appoitnment. We will discuss all expectations of what you would like to achieve, a stencil will be drawn out on your eyebrows to suit your face shape, all eyebrows are tailored to each client making sure they are the perfect pair for you.

MOST DEFINATELY NOT! Please do not tweeze, wax, thread or do anything to your eyebrows for as long as possible and no sooner than 2 weeks before your appointment. The beginning of your treatment includes a brief consultation, followed by shaping and discussion about pigment colour. Your regular eyebrow maintenance of tweezing, waxing, threading and/or tinting may continue once your eyebrows had healed.

Youmustbe 18 years or over to have Microblading. We have right to ask for ID before treatment, if we feel that you may be underage.

As a precaution, we do not perform cosmetic tattooing on pregnant or nursing women.

The discomfort is varied as everyone has a different pain threshold and level of sensitivity. An anesthetic is applied for numbing during the procedure and every effort is made to ensure you remain comfortable for the whole treatment. Our clients are usually pleased to discover that Microblading is no more painful than tweezing or threading. Pre-care instructions are designed to limit bleeding and skin sensitivity during the treatment. Some key things to note before booking your treatment if your worried about pain are: - Treatment during your menstrual cycle may increase discomfort. - If you are a frequent smoker, the topical aesthetic used during the treatment will not last as long and also may lead to poor retention. - Other illnesses may affect your sensitivity tolerance during the treatment.

The healing process is around 4-8 weeks. It is normal to experience minimal swelling and tenderness immediately after your treatment, this usually subsides within the first hour or two. The first week following your treatment the pigment will appear darker than how it will appear once it has fully healed. Around week 2, the skin naturally exfoliates and sheds. During weeks 4-8 when the skin has completely healed, you will see the true colour of the pigment. A top-up session approximately 4-8 weeks after your initial appointment is necessary in order to achieve that richness of colour and density in the shape.

Microblading is a cosmetic tattoo. The pigment will fade over time and we recommend to get an annual top-up to keep them looking their best. There is no guarantee in how long it last as each individual has different skin types and lifestyles. On average top-ups are recommended every 9-12 months. In some cases it will be longer than others. The frequency of top-ups depends on a number of factors including: skin type, pigment selection, lifestyle, sun exposure, iron deficiency, chemical peels, products, etc. Please note that the final results can not be guaranteed as each unique skin type will hold pigments differently and will break down at different rates.

Microblading is a process, your eyebrows will not be complete in just one appointment. For best results at least 2 appointments are needed, each appointment being 4-8 weeks apart. At the second appointment which is your top-up, I will assess the colour retention and make the adjustments necessary. Everyone heals differently and at different speeds. If your cosmetic tattoo does not heal perfectly the first time, do not worry! We can always go bolder and add more density at your next appointment. If you have extremely oily skin, the Microblading technique may NOT work well for you. The constant production of oil will cause the hair strokes to heal with a diffused, softer look or the pigment may not stay in the skin at all. Your end results will look more powdered instead of crisp hair strokes.

Yes, of course. We have a range of pigments to choose from, so there is something for everyone. Please note: in the first week after treatment brows will appear darker than healed so do not let this scare you.

Lip Blush is a form of Semi Permanent makeup, cosmetic tattooing, this procedure is achieved by depositing pigments in your lips by using a small needle. It is a cosmetic enhancement. This treatment is designed to define the lips, to enhance the natural lip colouring, correct symmetry and to also add definition and fullness. This treatment does not create volume or puffiness. With the help of permanent makeup it is possible to de-emphasize age lines around the lips and correct the fading of your natural lip colouring.

Mild swelling, itching, light scabbing and tightness will occur during treatment. Numbing cream will be used through the whole procedure.

If you've never had any lip tattoos/blush applied before, consultations are not required

A full consultation will take place at the start of your appoitnment. We will discuss all expectations of what you would like to achieve. The colour is customized to every client to achieve the desired effect.

The healed result resembles a tinted lipstick or lip gloss.

Yes. Cold sores will effect the healing/results and can even lead to scarring.

Yes you can. If you have a history of cold sores you'll need to start taking an anti-viral prescription (Valacyclovir, Denavir (penciclovir), Valtrex or acyclovir (Zovirax)), at least a week BEFORE your proposed procedure. Cold sore outbreaks are often triggered by stress or trauma to the lips and skin. Therefore if you are a carrier, lip blush will likely cause an outbreak if you do not take an anti-viral medication prior. Your appointment WILL be cancelled if you have had a history of cold sores and do not follow this instruction (with cancellation fees). This is because cold sores will effect the healing/results and can even lead to scarring. So please do not skip this step, you will be happy you didn't and have better results.

With all semi perminant make-up everyone’s skin is very different so this will vary from client to client. Six weeks after your initial appointment you can come back for a top up to fill in any light or uneven areas if needed. After these appointments lip blushing can last up to one to two years.

A Six week top up session is included in the price of your first session, if any additional treatments are needed a they are an extra £75.
