What is microblading?

Microblading is a permanent makeup technique that involves using a hand tool to make scratches in the eyebrow. This creates the look of adding hairs to the brow. It generally lasts several years and will fade over time, although it may not completey leave the skin.

What is a powder brow?

A powder brow is a technique used in permanent makeup that creates a look of having a light powder on the brow. It looks different to microblading as the brow is shaded in, rather than filled with lines. This technique is perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to apply makeup on their brows and will give more definition than microblading. This technique is suitable for all ages and skin types. This style of brow tends to last longer than microblading. It will lose it's vibrancy and will need touch ups throughout time. Although it may fade away, it may not completely fade for some people.

What is a combination brow?

A combination brow is a technique used in permanent makeup that combines microblading to create hair strokes and a powder brow to shade in the brow. This look looks natural but defined. This style of brow tends to last longer than microblading but the strokes may blur over time. It will lose it's vibrancy and will need touch ups throughout time. Although it may fade away, it may not completely fade for some people.

I have red or blue eyebrows. Can it be fixed?

In allot of cases, red or blue (and other colour) eyebrows can be colour corrected. Dana may recommend lightening before if the colour is too dark. We can also do this is in house.

How do I know which colour to choose?

Dana will discuss colour choices before you start the treatment. She will show you a colour chart and go through the options. Normally, a conservative approach is used and a lighter colour will be used to start. The colour can always be made darker on the second session if need be. Feel free to wear your normal brow makeup and bring your pencil (or other makeup) with you so that we get an idea of how you normally wear your brows.

How will the shape be decided?

Dana will map your brows before the treatment starts. This is a drawing that is done with a wax pencil that gives the shape of what the brow will look like. It's drawn based on the measurements of where your facial features are. This can be altered slightly, but we do stick to some rules that will give you the best looking brows that flatter your face. We don't like to go outside of the natural brow by much. This way, you won't have to maintain the hair. Natural is the best way. If you're looking for an alternative shape, we can do this too. Just get in touch to discuss it.

My brows are uneven. Is that a problem?

It's important to note that most people’s eyebrows are usually not symmetrical. We strive for 100% symmetry, but it’s not always possible. We think that the natural look is the best way to go. We stick to the shape that you currently have and enhance it so that it's as symmetrical as possible without them looking fake.

Will my brows look natural?

Our goal is to make your brows look as natural as possible. We want to avoid your brows looking like they're tattooed.

Will I have to shave my eyebrow hair?

Nope! We prefer a natural shape, so there's no need to remove any hair. If you get them waxed or shaped and want to keep that shape, get it done at least 48 hours before and we can keep that shape.

Should I dye my brows before I get permanent makeup?

If you normally dye your brows, feel free to do so, but you'll need to do it at least a week before you get the treatment.

When can I wear makeup on my brow?

Once all of the scabbing has come off, you can wear makeup on your brow.

What Is Eyebrow Permanent Makeup?

Eyebrow tattooing (also known as cosmetic tattooing or PMU brows, microblading, nanobrows, etc.) uses specialised pigments and techniques to create fuller, more defined brows that gradually soften as they heal.

Treatments are always tailored to:

your face shape
skin type
natural hair growth
personal style

The aim is enhancement — not obvious tattooed brows.

Microblading

Microblading is a permanent cosmetic tattooing technique designed to create natural-looking, fuller eyebrows by mimicking the appearance of real hair. Using a handheld tool with ultra-fine needles, pigment is carefully implanted into the skin to enhance eyebrow shape, symmetry, and definition.

Although allot of people refer to cosmetically tattooed eyebrows as 'microblading', it is in fact just a technique.

Why Choose Microblading?

✔ Perfect for Sparse or Uneven Brows – Ideal for those with thin, overplucked, or patchy eyebrows.

✔ Natural & Customised Results – Each stroke is designed to blend seamlessly with your natural brow hairs.

✔ Long-Lasting Definition – Results typically last several years, gradually fading over time.

✔ Low Maintenance – Eliminates the need for daily eyebrow pencils or powders.

Price: £349

Powder &

Ombre Brows

Powder brows and ombré brows are advanced permanent makeup techniques that create a soft, filled-in effect for perfectly defined, long-lasting eyebrows. Unlike microblading, which mimics hair strokes, these methods use a machine to deposit pigment in tiny dots, achieving a powdery, makeup-like finish.

Powder Brows: A Soft & Defined Look

Powder brows provide a fully shaded appearance, similar to eyebrows filled in with a pencil or brow powder. The technique builds up a soft gradient for a fuller, fluffy yet structured brow look, perfect for those who want a low-maintenance, polished style.

Ombré Brows: A Natural Gradient Effect

Ombré brows create a lighter front and darker tail, mimicking the effect of softly shaded, naturally shaped brows. This style suits all skin types, including oily skin, and offers a softer, airbrushed look compared to traditional eyebrow tattooing.

Why Choose Powder or Ombré Brows?

✔ Long-Lasting Results – Fades gradually over 2-3 years with minimal touch-ups.

✔ Suitable for All Skin Types – Unlike microblading, powder and ombré brows work well on oily or sensitive skin.

✔ Customisable Intensity – From soft and subtle to bold and defined, the shading can be adjusted to your preference.

✔ Minimal Discomfort & Healing – The technique is gentler on the skin, with a quick healing process and less scabbing.

Combination Brows

Combination brows, also known as combo brows, hybrid, or blade and shade brows are a permanent eyebrow technique that blends the precision of microblading with the soft shading of powder brows. This method creates natural-looking, fuller eyebrows by combining fine, hair-like strokes at the front of the brow with a softly shaded, defined tail.

Why Choose Combination Brows?

✔ Best of Both Worlds – Microblading offers a realistic, hair-stroke effect, while powder shading adds density and definition.

✔ Ideal for Most Skin Types – Works well on normal, dry, and slightly oily skin, offering better longevity than microblading alone.

✔ Customisable & Versatile – Can be adjusted for a soft, natural finish or a bold, more defined look.

✔ Long-Lasting Results – Typically lasts 12-24 months, requiring minimal touch-ups.

Who Are Combination Brows Best For?

✔ Clients with sparse or uneven brows who want a fuller look.

✔ Those who love the natural effect of microblading but need more definition.

✔ Anyone looking for a longer-lasting eyebrow solution that fades beautifully over time.

Price: £359
