Why subtle permanent makeup can make such a difference When people first come to see me about their brows, they often worry that permanent makeup will mean a big change. But very often, that isn’t what’s needed at all. Sometimes it’s simply about filling a few sparse areas, restoring a little shape or replacing some…
For many people living with alopecia, losing their eyebrows can have a huge impact on confidence. Eyebrows do far more than frame the face. They help express emotion, create facial balance and are an important part of how we recognise ourselves in the mirror. Permanent makeup can restore the appearance of eyebrows, but treating clients…
When people look at a before and after photograph, their eyes naturally go straight to the eyebrows. Ours don’t. We look at the whole face. Permanent makeup isn’t simply about replacing missing eyebrow hairs. It’s about restoring balance, definition and harmony to the face in a way that looks completely personal to you. Eyebrows Do…
Many clients come to see me after previous permanent makeup treatments elsewhere haven’t healed as they expected. This lovely client came to me after two previous hairstroke eyebrow treatments had failed to retain pigment, leaving only the tails visible. She had been left feeling disappointed and wondering whether permanent makeup simply wasn’t for her. The good news…
If you grew up in the 1990s, there’s a good chance you remember the pencil-thin eyebrow trend. Back then, the smaller the eyebrow, the better.

For many women, unwanted facial hair becomes more noticeable during their 40s and 50s. What…

If you’re thinking about permanent makeup eyebrows, you might assume your appointment starts with choosing a shape. In reality, that’s only a small part of the process. Designing beautiful permanent makeup brows is one of the most important stages of your treatment. Long before I create a single hairstroke or begin implanting pigment, I’ve already…
This week I made the final payment on my £10,000 Bounce Back Loan. For many people, that might just sound like another business loan that’s finally been repaid. But for me, it marks the end of one of the hardest chapters of my career, and the beginning of one of the most meaningful. Like so…
For many people, eyebrows are something we barely think about until they’re gone. Whether through surgery, trauma, alopecia or medical treatment, losing part of an eyebrow can have a much bigger emotional impact than many people realise. It can affect confidence, self-esteem and become a daily reminder every time you look in the mirror. Recently,…
One of my lovely clients recently came back into clinic, and I couldn’t resist taking a quick photo. These lips were tattooed three years ago, and they still have beautiful definition, a healthy flush of colour and a soft, natural finish. Seeing results like this is always a reminder that permanent makeup isn’t just about how…
When people think of permanent makeup, they often assume everyone wants the same thing. In reality, no two clients are the same, and that’s exactly how I approach every treatment. This client loves wearing a classic winged eyeliner. Rather than recreating it every morning, she chose permanent eyeliner so she could wake up with her…
Have you found yourself reaching for your eyebrow pencil every morning because the outer ends of your brows seem to have disappeared? If so, you’re certainly not alone.
