DEFINED BY LINDA

After having my own eyebrows microblading and seeing the results, I was inspired to train and start a business in this field. I have since had lip blush and eyeliner treatments and love the results of them all.
 
My focus, from the beginning, has been on creating high quality, natural looking brows that are created in consultation with every client to enhance and define their face.
 
I have trained with different providers to really get the best understanding of the different techniques available in the industry.  The beauty industry is ever changing, and I have continued training to master my craft.
 
As I have had my own treatments, I know the process can seem daunting and clients can be nervous about the treatment and the results.  Understanding this allows me to put clients at ease and work with them, to create their perfect brow.
 
Microblading, Lip Blush and Permanent Eyeliner can be a purely cosmetic procedure to help enhance our natural features or it can help those that live with conditions such as Alopecia, Trichotillomania and symptoms of cancer treatments as well as the effects of aging.  Microblading, Lip Blush and Eyeliner can really help restore confidence.
 
I look forward to meeting you.

FAQs

Your Questions Answered

Eyebrow microblading is known by several names, including nano-blading, micropigmentation, eyebrow embroidery, eyebrow feathering, and 3D eyebrows. Although the names differ, the procedure is the same. Microblading fills in sparse areas of your natural brow, which is done by using a very fine blade to deposit pigments into the dermal layer of the skin. The result is a natural, hyper-realistic life looking hair stroke.

Microblading is not permanent. The results from microblading have semi-permanent qualities for two reasons. First, the pigment used for microblading has an iron oxide base rather than a carbon base that is used for permanent cosmetics. Second, microblading pigment is not implanted into the skin as deep when compared to permanent cosmetic procedures.

Microblading tends to fade gradually over time, so a touch up is recommended 12-18 months after the initial microblading which keeps the colour of each microstroke looking vibrant. It’s important to know, even though the colour gradually gets lighter, it will not fade into shades of blue or pink like the fading that occurs with permanent cosmetics.

The healed results of microblading last between one and three years. The variation in time is determined by lifestyle, sun exposure and skin type. Someone with an oilier skin type tends to experience results that fade quicker compared to someone with a drier skin type.

The average microblading appointment lasts two hours. Nothing is ever rushed during your microblading appointment because the results are a semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo that stays on your face for an extended period. We insist on being thorough and taking the time to provide the most beautiful, natural looking brows possible.

Natural looking results are made possible by mastering three key elements of microblading; brow shaping, colour theory, and micro-stroking technique. Clients are consulted throughout the treatment on shape and colour.

You do not have to hide from the world after your treatment. Your freshly bladed brows will appear darker before they get lighter, so prepare to see your brows 50% darker the day after treatment and for the first 3-5 days and then they will lighten to your desired colour of choice. Other than that, the surrounding skin may be a little red and irritated immediately following treatment but that will go down within a few hours. Most clients continue with their day as usual.

The colour will appear darker through the first week or so. This is because the pigment takes around seven days to enter the deeper layers of the skin. After seven to ten days, exfoliation takes place. The top layer of the skin peels off, leaving a softer, lighter colour below. The result leaves you with softer and more natural lines. As the treated area continues to heal, itching may occur. Itching is a good sign as it means the skin is healing. The complete healing process for micro-bladed eyebrows typically takes six weeks and then a touch up appointment follows.

The touch up appointment is scheduled during the initial microblading appointment for six to ten weeks later.  A touch up appointment is not always necessary; however, it is a good idea if some strokes need topping up or you would like to enhance shape or colour – please note you can go darker but to go lighter involves removal of pigment.  If you are unsure at your first appointment, your technician will advise you go lighter leaving the option to go darker at second appointment.

I had my microblading done with Linda, she is super friendly and explains every aspect of the process very well. I felt comfortable and understood in her hands. I am super happy with the result! My brows look beautifully natural. If you are at all apprehensive about having treatment, the consultation will put your mind at ease. 5 stars!

After 5 years of perimenopause hair loss my eyebrows had almost completely fallen out. I found Linda online and we had a consultation. Linda explained all of the options available to me and how it would work. Linda was so knowledgeable, professional and understanding of my circumstances.With her informed advice we selected the right treatment, colour and size for the most natural look to replace what I had lost.Linda made the process so easy and explained what she was doing. We had a great chat along the way which really helped me to relax and just let Li da do her thing. I’m so pleased with the results and Linda’s great work. I will definitely be going back when the time comes.

I’ve got my eyebrows micro bladed by Linda.I was quite abrehensive to let somebody else have control over my eyebrows but Linda’s got a really great eye for how someone’s eyebrows should look to suit that person.I am a natural looking person and she matched my eyebrows carefully to suit me as well as listening to what I wanted.She was great at keeping me relaxed and talking me through crushing and she is really easy to talk to.

I highly recommend Linda! I had my brows done by someone else the first time I ever did it a few years ago and I wasn’t very happy, which really put me off trying again. I told Linda my concerns and she was so lovely, patient and reassuring and they turned out amazing! I am so happy with the results. I will definitely be a regular now 🙂

I had my second eye liner appointment with Linda last month and I have to say a huge THANK YOU to her. I have a scar caused by an operation on my eyelid which goes into my lash line and Linda worked her magic and after the healing process it's not noticeable anymore and my liner looks just awesome.She spent time explaining how she would pass over the area and explained the pain factors involved. We discussed colour and shape and she just made me feel comfortable as possible because she's placing a tattoo on my eyeline.Looking forward to coming back for my powder brows 😊

Linda is exceptionally informative, kind, considerate and thoughtful. Right from the initial consultation she took the time to explain everything, being honest about the procedure, pain that might be experienced and the initial couple of weeks after the treatment. During the procedure itself she was thoroughly professional and attentive to my wellbeing and reactions. Soothing, calming and dedicated to her skillful work, she managed effortlessly to combine the treatment with a gentle, reassuring conversation. Her aftercare is reassuring and rigorous.Microblading was definitely not an easy treatment, I found it a little painful at times, but others may not. Linda was reactive to my flitches, applied more numbing balm and was always honest and informative about the possibility of a touch of pain.It was absolutely worth it though. As a lady who literally had a few hairs as eyebrows and was sick of my eyebrow pencil, I love the difference. They look so natural, they look fantastic. I would thoroughly recommend Linda for this treatment. She ensures you enter the procedure fully informed, with a clear understanding of the pro's and con's of the procedure and a detailed guide to aftercare to get the best out of your treatment. Thanks Linda. X

Absolutely recommend Linda! I was super nervous and she explained the whole process and reassured me throughout. Very calming & professional, brows are stunning but really natural which I was worried they wouldn’t be. LOVE not having to draw them on everyday x
