Permanent eyebrows in Hertfordshire

Permanent eyebrows have many names. Some people call it microblading or cosmetic tattoo.

It is a gentle tattoo technique that deposits pigment into the skin to create natural looking and long lasting semi permanent eyebrows.

Permanent eyebrows are not only a beauty treatment, they helps to reclaim your time and boost your confidence. Think of all that time in the morning you could be spending in bed instead of in front of the mirror, trying to pencil your brows and make them look symmetrical.

When it comes to permanent eyebrows, two techniques are popular:

• Semi permanent machine eyebrows
• Microblading eyebrows

Both methods, machine and microblading, offer a range of styles that can be achieved using either tool.

• Powder eyebrows
• Hair stoke eyebrows
• Ombre brows

Which method and type is better is very subjective, the choice depends on the look you would like to achieve, preferred finish and the type of your skin.

This is similar to getting a conventional makeup, some people may prefer subtle, powdery brows, while others may like a more defined and bolder look.

The most important factor when choosing a technique is your skin type. If it’s oily, thicker, or combination, choose either powder or ombre brows. Hair stroke or combination eyebrows will blur and fade quickly in oily skin, giving a washed out look. We recommend subtle and natural powder or ombre brows then. They are equally beautiful and natural.

By understanding the above you can make sure that you’ve chosen the right style. It’s important to find the perfect balance between technique and skin type for stunning eyebrows.

Hair stroke eyebrows

Permanent hairstroke brows are created by tattooing individual, hair like strokes to mimic the look of natural eyebrow hairs. Hair stroke brows can enhance sparse or uneven brows with a very natural and soft look, that resembles the real eyebrow hairs. This technique isn’t suitable if you have oily or combination skin, or your hair are dense and thick.

Soft powder eyebrows

Soft powder brows give a shaded, powdery look, similar to softly applied makeup. It fills in the brow area, gaps and sparser areas, enhances the arch and gives a uniform, misty effect. Powder brows are great for you if you prefer a soft, natural and understated look. This style is versatile and suitable for a variety of skin types, including normal, dry, oily and combination skin.

Ombre eyebrows

Ombre brows have a gradient look, where the colour is lighter and softer at the inner part of brows and gradually gets darker and denser toward the tail. Ombre brows are perfect for you if you like sharper, makeup-inspired look with a soft, powdery fronts of the brows and more defined and sharper tails. Ombre gives a polished and semi dramatic look that remains natural.

How to choose the right permanent eyebrow that suits your face, style, while looking natural and timeless?

Eyebrow symmetry. We will help you choose the ideal brow shape and thickness that suits you, and tweak it to go in pair with your expectations.

Brow arch. The shape of your brow bone will guide us to give you classic and flattering eyebrow style.

Classy and natural. Trends come and go, classic and natural looking permanent eyebrows always stay in demand.

Personal style. If you prefer a subtle and low maintenance look, choose soft powder brows. For bolder makeup look, ombre brows can be a better fit. If you love the look of hairstroke eyebrows, and your skin isn’t oily or combination, choose this style.

Sparse eyebrows. We will tattoo in pigment that matches your natural brow hair colour. Thinner or patchy areas will blend in giving you fuller and more defined brows.

Uneven or asymmetrical eyebrows. We can improve symmetry by correcting the shape, arch, and thickness of the brows.

Hair loss. Conditions such as alopecia or chemotherapy can make you lose your brows completely. We can create hyper realistic looking eyebrows that will look like your own.

As we age, our eyebrows naturally thin out and lose their shape. This can make the face look older or sad. Eyebrow tattoo can recreate the look of fuller, more defined brows.

People with sensitive skin can enjoy semi permanent brows too.

• Permanent eyebrows tattooed with a pmu machine can be done on sensitive and reactive skin, it doesn’t irritate the skin, there is no scabbing. It last for 2-5 years.
• If you have sensitive skin and you are hesitant about getting permanent eyebrow tattoo, this option is gentle on the skin.
• Unlike microblading, pmu machine is much gentler. It can be set precisely to the requirement of the sensitive skin to minimise irritation and discomfort.
• No scabbing means smooth healing process. This gentle technique gives beautiful results without any potential complications.
• Long lasting results. PMU machine gives a longer lasting results. Microblading lasts for a few months up to a year, but pmu machine gives lasting results for 2-5 years. The pigment fades naturally over time, and your eyebrows keep a fresh and natural look.
