Hairstroke Brows
Perfect for those wanting a very natural-looking brow.

Permanent Hair Stroke Brows, also known as nano brows or digital machine brows, is a specialised cosmetic procedure that involves the meticulous application of pigment into the superficial layers of the skin.
This technique is designed to mimic the appearance of individual eyebrow hairs, resulting in a natural and lifelike enhancement.
Distinguishing itself from microblading, our procedure utilises a digital machine, eliminating the need for incisions with a blade.
Whereas, Microblading involves cutting into the skin, resulting in scarring and trauma and is limited to younger and drier skin types, our hairstroke brow technique can be successfully applied to any skin type, offering versatility and effectiveness making our approach a more inclusive and adaptable choice for individuals of varying skin characteristics.
The Benefits:
-
Natural Appearance: The technique creates individual hair-like strokes, resulting in a remarkably natural and realistic appearance.
-
Time-Saving: Say goodbye to daily brow makeup routines. Semi-Permanent Hair Stroke Brows provide a long-lasting solution, saving you time and effort.
-
Customisation: Every set of brows is uniquely tailored to enhance your natural beauty, ensuring a look that is distinctly yours.
-
Low Maintenance: With proper care, semi-permanent brows can last for at least 12-18 months, reducing the need for frequent touch-ups.
The Process:
-
Consultation: Our journey begins with a face to face consultation where we discuss your desired brow shape, colour, and overall look.
-
Design: Using precise measurements and artistic skill, we create a customised design that aligns with your facial structure, achieving a balanced and symmetrical look.
-
Application: Using a specialised digital machine, fine strokes are strategically drawn onto the skin, using a chosen pigment that is carefully selected to match your hair color and skin tone mimicking the natural growth pattern of your eyebrow hairs.
-
Healing Process: Following the procedure, a short healing process begins. You may experience mild redness or swelling initially, but this typically subsides within a few hours. As the skin heals, it will naturally exfoliate, revealing the finished result from 2 - 6 weeks. It is imperative that you keep your eyebrows dry for 7 days to ensure the pigment is retained in the skin. Do not use sunbeds, steam rooms or saunas during the healing process.
-
Retouch Session: Scheduled between 4-8 weeks after your initial treatment, the retouch appointment is crucial for assessing the healing process of your new brows. During this session, we carefully examine the colour, making adjustments if necessary, and refine the shape to ensure your brows are precisely tailored to your preferences. This opportunity allows us to fine-tune your brows, guaranteeing perfection for the year (or more) ahead.
Powder Brows
Also known as ombré powder brow.
Perfect for those wanting a more makeup-like effect.

Powdered Makeup Effect: The technique involves creating a soft, powdered appearance on the eyebrows, resembling the look of filled-in eyebrow makeup. This is achieved through a shading technique that deposits pigment in a way that mimics the appearance of soft eyebrow powder.
Customisation: Like other semi-permanent brow techniques, Semi-Permanent Powder Brows are highly customisable. During the initial consultation, factors such as brow shape, color, and personal preferences are considered to tailor the treatment to your unique features and desired aesthetic.
Long-Lasting Results: This method offers a long-lasting solution, reducing the need for daily eyebrow makeup application. With proper care and occasional touch-ups, you can enjoy beautifully defined and filled-in brows for an extended period.
Suitable for Various Skin Types: Semi-Permanent Powder Brows can be suitable for different skin types, providing versatility in achieving a natural and enhanced look.
What alternatives are there to microblading?
I often get asked about the difference between Digital Hair Strokes and Microblading. So, let's dive into this topic together!
Microblading: This popular technique involves using a manual tool to create fine, hair-like strokes on the brows. It's fantastic for a natural look but can be a bit harsher on the skin, especially for those with sensitive, mature or oily types.
Digital Hair Strokes: Now, this is where the magic happens! Using a sophisticated digital device, I can craft even more precise and delicate hair strokes. It's less invasive than microblading, making it a gentler choice for your gorgeous skin. Plus, it's incredibly versatile, allowing for customised brow shapes and styles that truly complement your unique beauty. As a professional in this field, l've seen how Digital Hair Strokes can offer a more comfortable experience with equally stunning results. The precision of the digital tool also means a more controlled and refined outcome - think of it as the haute couture of brow treatments!
The benefits of Digital Hair Strokes include:
-
Gentler on the skin: Perfect for all skin types, especially sensitive or mature skin.
-
Customisation at its best: Tailored to your individual style and facial structure.
-
Long-lasting beauty: Enjoy your fabulous brows with minimal touch-ups!
-
A touch of luxury: Experience the latest in semipermanent makeup technology.
