What We Offer
Ombre/Powder Brow
A fine mist of colour is applied behind your natural brow hair to create soft powdery brows. After years applying makeup to your brows daily, suffering from sparse or uneven brows due to years of over-plucking, or simply having very fair brow hair or little brow definition... a powder brow treatment could be the answer!
Microblading
A semi-permanent tattooing technique that uses a small handheld tool to create fine hair-like strokes that mimic the appearance of natural brow hairs. It's a perfect solution for anyone looking to enhance their brows, especially those with sparse or over-plucked brows.
Lip Blush
A semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing technique that enhances the natural colour and shape of your lips. A fine mist of pigment is applied to the lips, creating a soft, natural-looking tint. Lip blush is perfect for those who want to enhance the appearance of their lips without the need for constant reapplication of lipstick or gloss.
reviews
Semi-permanent makeup, also known as micropigmentation, is a cosmetic technique that infuses pigment into the skin. It's commonly used for eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip colour enhancements. The results can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.
The duration of each semi-permanent makeup procedure can vary. Typically, the initial session lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This includes consultation, colour selection, and the application process. Touch-up sessions, which are usually done a few weeks after the initial application, may take less time. We recommend allocating sufficient time for your appointment to ensure the best possible results.
The level of discomfort experienced during semi-permanent makeup procedures varies from person to person. Most clients report minimal discomfort. We apply a topical anaesthetic before the procedure to numb the area, which helps in reducing pain. It's important to communicate with your technician throughout the procedure to ensure your comfort.
Semi-permanent makeup typically lasts between 1 to 3 years. The longevity depends on several factors, including skin type, exposure to sun, and skincare routines. Regular touch-ups are recommended to maintain the colour and shape. Over time, the pigment will fade, necessitating a refresh session.
Proper aftercare is crucial for the healing process and longevity of semi-permanent makeup. After the procedure, avoid getting the area wet for at least a week. This includes sweating and swimming. Apply the aftercare ointment provided as directed, usually twice a day. Avoid sun exposure and refrain from using skincare products containing exfoliants or strong chemicals on the treated area. Full healing typically takes 4 to 6 weeks.
