Eyelash Services

I offer Eyelash extensions as well as Lash Lift.

Eyelash extensions can be maintained with infills and typically last around 4 weeks.

Lash lifting is performed on your natural lashes and provides curling and lengthening effect. The treatment can be done every 6-8 weeks.

Classic Lashes

Classic Lash Extensions are carefully applied one by one onto your natural eyelashes to enhance them. The curl, length and thickness can be customised to you depending on your desired outcome.

Please book 2 hours for this treatment.

Hybrid Lashes

Hybrid Eyelash Extensions are perfect for the middle ground look. A little bit more than classics but not as thick and full as Russian lashes. This technique uses “fans” and classic lashes and can be completely customised to your face.

Please book 2 hours 15 - 2 hours 130 for this treatment.

Russian Lashes

Why not add a pop of colour to your lash set? The choice is yours to go bold and have colour throughout or maybe a flash at the ends?

I also offer brown which is perfect for fair hair and skin for a more natural look or for anyone who would like a more chocolately soft look.

Wispy/ angel/ wet sets are very popular too for creating dimension and interest to the eyes.

Russian Lash Extensions are perfect for those who like to wake up glam all the time or those with fewer lashes naturally who want to make more of an impact. I use a variety of handmade fans especially for you and your desired outcome. This is the fluffiest look of them all!

Please book 2 hours 45 for this treatment.

Brown/ Colour/ Wispy

Lash Lift

The lash lift is perfect if you want a low maintenance way of curling your lashes and creating an illusion of longer lashes. This process involves your natural lashes being curled for up to 6 week s and it is your choice whether to include a tint or not.

This service requires a patch test 48 hours prior to your appointment.

Eyebrow Services

Hybrid Brows provide a skin stain as well as longer lasting tint to the hairs, suitable for HD brow lovers or those who enjoy a bold brow.

Soft Lamination provides more structure and fullness to the brows.

Eyebrow wax and tint for a simple and classic look.

Hybrid Brows are a beautiful way of creating a skin stain as well as tinting the brows themselves. The staining of the skikn creates a look of depth and shadow making it appear as though you have make up on. The skin stain will last for up to a week and the brows will remain tinted for up to 8 weeks- much longer than traditional tint! It is like a henna brow treatment but without the henna allowing for a more precise and neat application. The treatment will end with a wax to remove unwanted hairs.

You will need to be patch tested 48 hours prior to this treatment .

Brow lamination is a way of making your brows appear thicker and more defined. Lamination tames unruly and stubborn brow hairs to create a fuller, fluffier look. This effect can last 6-8 weeks with a maintenance appointment recommended at the 4 week mark. This treatment includes a wax and tint and you must book in a patch test 48 hours prior to your appointment. .

Dermaplaning FAQ’s

Will my hair grow back more/ thicker/ faster?

Absolutely not! The peach fuzz on your face is a different kind of hair to that found under the armpits, on the legs etc. If you have any upper lip or chin hair that will be removed with wax and only the peach fuzz removed with the blade. If you’re not comfortable with wax don’t worry- I will avoid that area!

Who is dermaplaning suitable for?

It is perfect for dry-normal skin types as well as those with sensitive skin. It isn’t suitable for people with rosacea, excema and acne.

I have oily skiin/ breakouts, can I still have the treatment?

You can but please bare in mind the treatment may make your skin more oily. If you have active breakouts at the time, depending on the severity I may not be able to dermaplane and may suggest an alternative facial.

Will it hurt?

Dermaplaning won’t hurt. The surgical blade I use is angled to only remove surface level dead skin and fluff so don’t worry!

The Cinderella facial is the perfect lunctime pick me up if you have an event soon and want a gorgeous glow. It features a powerful skinbooster EGF serum as well as an enzyme powerful but painless peel.
