What it is
A form of semi-permanent makeup using a soft graduation of colour - lighter at the front of the brow through to a fuller, darker pigment towards the centre - for a powder-soft, natural look.
Who it suits
The ideal choice for brow definition with volume - perfect if your natural brow hair is very sparse and you need more volume than microblading offers. Suitable for all skin types, including oily skin.
Comfort
The skin is fully numbed first. Expect gentle tugging and a light dragging sensation; any soreness settles within hours.
Pricing
Initial treatment includes consultation, patch test, aftercare kit and a perfecting session at 4-6 weeks.
