Microblading is a form of cosmetic tattooing. It does not go as deep as a 'normal' tattoo, and uses pigments that break down naturally in your skin over time rather than tattoo ink, and because of this, is semi-permanent with annual top ups being needed and recommended to keep the results crisp and vibrant. The longer you leave your brows, the more they will fade.

The form of microblading we do is with a handheld pen-likedevice which holds tiny sterile disposable needles. These needles are used to scratch the surface of the skin to create fine lines in which pigment isdeposited. This creates natural looking hair strokes to give the appearance of thicker, fuller eyebrows bespoke to your own face. Look at our portfolio for examples of Becky's work and style.

The correct shape of eyebrows will frame your face and emphasise your best features.Anti-aging: An instant facelift that opens the eyes, creating a more youthful appearance. No smudged brows at the gym, on the beach, in the pool, or on holiday. Save money by not needing monthly HD brows or waxing anymore. Easy maintenance when you have your perfect shape to follow all the time! Save time and effort on your daily makeup routine and reduce the cost of eyebrow products.

Semi-permanent means it will fade over time, and if you want to keep your brows looking vibrant, annual top-up appointments will be needed to maintain this look. Semi-permanent does not mean it will 100% fade away. Everyone's bodies will process the pigment differently, and your lifestyle choices will also affect the lifespan of the microbladed brows. This is still a tattoo, so before anyone tells you differently, please bear in mind that whether or not you refresh your eyebrows annually, you may still be left with a shadow or very faded light brow if you don't wish to continue with annual top-ups.

Treatment Overview

The treatment is a two-step process which involves an initial appointment and a 4-6 week touch-up appointment (included in the price). The treatment is not complete until you have attended your touch-up appointment, which must be within 4-6 weeks of your initial treatment.

Some clients, especially those who use sunbeds, sunbathe, don't use sun protection, have sun-damaged skin, oily skin, thick skin, smoke, sweat a lot (from exercise, saunas, etc.), have a fast metabolism, have an iron deficiency, take regular medications, use chemical peels or harsh exfoliants, or those with less natural hair, may need more than one touch-up session to achieve their desired results. They may also need more regular top-ups to keep their brows vibrant.

Top-Ups

Annual top-ups can be needed anywhere between 9 and 18 months on average. Oily skin will expel the pigment faster than combination or dry skin. Oily skin types will retain shading better than just hairstrokes, but more frequent top-ups will be needed. People with less eyebrow hair, or those who have opted for darker pigment colours, will notice their brows fading more than those with some hair or those who have chosen lighter pigment colours. Your skin is a living, breathing organ, and you will react differently to everyone else.

Treatment Step by Step

First Appointment (Approx. 3 hours)

When you arrive, you will complete a comprehensive consultation form before we begin the session.

We will take a few reference pictures (used for promotion only with your permission).

Our artist will design your brows using your natural facial features. We will measure and draw on eyebrows with a pencil to suit your face shape.

After discussing your pigment colour, the microblading can begin. We will explain the treatment to you as we go along so you feel comfortable.

Once the appointment is finished, we will take a few 'after' pictures (used for promotion only with your permission). You will receive an aftercare kit and aftercare instructions.

We will also book your included top-up appointment for 4-6 weeks after the initial treatment.

By following these steps, you will ensure that your eyebrows remain vibrant and beautifully shaped.

Before Booking

Ensure you have read all of the aftercare instructions and are certain you can follow them before booking an appointment.

On the Day

Wear comfortable clothing to your appointment, which will last around 2.5 hours.

If you're feeling particularly nervous, bring music that you find relaxing.

Ask as many questions as you want—no question is a silly question!
