3D Realistic Hairstroke
Nano Brows
£200
6-8 Week Topup / Perfecting Session £75
Annual Colour Boosts £175
The newest brow technique to hit the UK is Nano Brow. Also known as Digital Machine Hair Stroke Brows, this advanced treatment delivers a hyper-realistic 3D effect for the most natural appearance of hair strokes. Nano Brow is the answer for clients who are not suitable for Microblading, but want a realistic hair stroke look.
In addition, Microblading is not suitable for everyone. Clients with oily/porous or mature skin will find that the brow fades quickly at best, or the hairstrokes blur into a solid ‘makeup’ look brow.
This is where the Nano Brow comes to the rescue. Not only is it suitable for ALL skin types, but the hairstrokes are created with a digital machine injecting pigment precisely and without cutting the skin. This process causes less trauma to skin and therefore less bleeding and lymph fluid production. You can expect the pigment retention from the first session to be significantly better and the top up time to be considerably shorter compared to Microblading. And if that isn’t enough, less trauma means less pain and a smoother healing journey!
Benefits of Nano Brows
Nano brows started in the UK around 5 years ago and are becoming increasingly popular thanks to their many benefits, which include:
- Nano Brow works on all skin types
- The Nano Brow technique produces minimal lymph fluid which dilutes pigment. This results in better pigment retention, and longer lasting results
- Nano Brows cause minimal trauma to the skin, making it less painful than Microblading. Some clients even nap during the treatment!
- The Nano Brow healing process is generally smoother as it does not involve ‘cutting’ the skin.
- You will be the envy of all your friends, especially those who have had a painful SPMU experience. Nano Brow is a new specialist technique and not many salons offer this service. It requires hours of training to qualify, and daily practice to maintain perfect execution. Fortunately I love to practice!
Hairstroke brows last on average between 12-24 months depending on age, skin type, sun exposure & lifestyle.
Top Ups are recommended in annually to keep them looking perfect.
*Please bear in mind that there is very specific precare advice for this treatment, which can be found under 'Semi Permanent Brows' & 'Important Precare (All SPMU)' section on the precare page.
Powder / Ombre Brows
£180
6-8 Week Topup / Perfecting Session £45
Annual Colour boost £125
Powder / Ombre Brow is a semi-permanent eyebrow procedure using a specialist tattoo machine.
Ombre brows have become a huge trend in semi-permanent makeup for eyebrows. Just like powder brows, it’s a procedure that gives you the look of filled-in, shaded brows, but with a special twist – the Ombre effect.
The pigment is inserted using a dotting technique called pixelization, giving a full look to the eyebrows. The procedure is done using a machine specially designed for permanent makeup.
Suitable for all skin types, even people with oily skin and it will also last slightly longer than Microblading.
Ombre brows last on average between 12-24 months depending on age, skin type, sun exposure & lifestyle.

Combination Brows
£180
6-8 Week Topup / Perfecting Session £45
Annual Colour boost £125
Combination Brow is a semi-permanent eyebrow procedure using a specialist tattoo machine to create hair strokes at the front of the brow and ombre/powdered effect towards the end of the brow.
Sometimes referred to as 'Combre'
Combination brows are the ultimate brow treatment. It offers the best of both Ombre and hair stroke effects combined together to achieve a fluffy, textured, yet defined brow. 3D digital hairstrokes are created into the skin loosely for texture and shading is added to build volume and definition.
A combination of the two offers long-lasting results for clients and is suitable for all skin types. Combination brows can look very natural or can be done more like a brow makeup look.
Suitable for all skin types.
Ombre brows last on average between 12-24 months depending on age, skin type, sun exposure & lifestyle.
Top Ups are recommended annually to keep them looking perfect.

Lip Blush
£180
6-8 Week Topup / Perfecting Session £45
Annual Colour boost £125
Lip Blush & Liner is a semi-permanent lip procedure using a specialist tattoo machine.
Sometimes referred to as 'Blush or Powder Lips'
Lip liner and blush tattooing adds definition, a burst of colour and a plumper appearance to your lips.
This treatment creates a crisp, defined lip line. As we age, our lips become thinner and lose their natural colour. Lip liner and blush restores the youthful look back into your lips.
You can choose from a wide range of colours that you will be able to select from with your technician on the day of your treatment.
Lip liner and blush tattooing is often sought after by clients who feel uneasy about having dermal fillers in their lips but would still like to achieve fuller looking lips without filler and do so by using this treatment as an alternative.
No longer do clients have to worry about smudged lipstick, this is the permanent ‘smudge free’ alternative. Long lasting, tattooed lip stain which perfectly compliments the clients skin tone. Be as bold or as subtle as you wish, semi permanent lipstick is suitable for every taste.
*Please bear in mind that there is very specific precare advice for this treatment, which can be found under 'Lip Blush/Liner' & 'Important Precare (All SPMU)' section on the precare page.
Suitable for most skin types.
Please note: The natural undertones in those with darker skin, may find that lip SPMU may not be suitable for them as the pigmentation of the skin can affect the colour of the lips or may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired look. Those with a darker lip border tend to have higher melanin production, therefore will need a neutralising session before the lip blush process can start. However, if you are you unsure as to whether lip SPMU will work for you and would like to know more please contact me.
Powder Lips last on average 24 months depending on age, skin type, sun exposure & lifestyle.
Top Ups are recommended annually to keep them looking perfect.
Baby Eyeliner
Top Lashline Enhancement
£95
6-8 Week Topup / Perfecting Session £45
Annual Colour boost £75
Create the illusion of thicker fuller lashes!
Baby eyeliner tattooing provides a way to recreate the look of eyeliner without needing to re-apply it every day. A digital cosmetic tattoo machine is used, and semi-permanent pigments are carefully placed in between your lashes. This creates a natural-looking outline that accentuates the eyes and your colour.
Some eyeliner tattooing can involve adding on a winged line or a thicker line which when we get older our skin droops so if you have long winged eyeliner tattoo it will droop as well with the skin. So be mindful when choosing what's right for you.
However, the baby liner is more to make your lashes look fuller and give a subtle definition to make your eyes look bigger and more defined.
We also consider the natural hair and eye color to determine the most flattering shade. For example, blondes often prefer dark brown tones, while black lashes pair best with black eyeliner for the most seamless look.
Compared to traditional body tattooing, this process is less painful since it only involves depositing pigments into the first layer of the skin. As a bonus, if wanting to switch up your style in the future, you don’t have to worry about having it forever! Typically, the results last up to three years.
*Please bear in mind that there is very specific precare advice for this treatment, which can be found under 'Baby Eyeliner' & 'Important Precare (All SPMU)' section on the precare page.
If eyeliner tattoo that is well taken care of can last up to three – five years at best. However, the use of eye creams, swimming in salt water, oils, and other cosmetic products may cause the ink to fade faster. This can also depond on age, skin type, sun exposure & lifestyle.
Top Ups are recommended annually to keep them looking perfect.

What Is Salt and Saline Removal?
Saline Tattoo removal is a natural way to remove tattoos, it is as effective as laser removal but significantly less painful.
Tattoo Removal - Non laser permanent make up & body tattoo removal and lightening
Nothing in life is permanent and yes that can now be true of both your regular tattoos or your permanent makeup.
Li-FT is a pain free saline tattoo removal system that is both safe and kind to the skin with no harsh chemicals and no scarring!
As lovely as your tattoo or permanent makeup was at the time you had it done, things change, colours fade and styles change. What ever your reason, there are now procedures that are non-invasive and entirely safe to either remove or significantly lighten the previous work.
Let me introduce you to LI-FT saline tattoo removal. The comparatively new tattoo removal procedure is an efficient and safe method for removing poor quality or old work that is no longer wanted. It has been winning hearts left and right because of its numerous benefits, one of them being a completely natural method.
How does saline tattoo removal work?
Saline removal is conducted using only medical-grade saline solution along with a tattoo device. The saline solution penetrates the upper layer of the skin, where the tattoo pigment was previously injected, and breaks down the ink. The hypertonic combination of salt, purified water, and other natural products pulls the pigment to the surface of the skin, which eventually becomes a scab and expels the ink entirely while it is healing leaving no scaring. Small bady tattoo’s or permanent makeup are all ideal candidates for saline removal.
A minimum of two sessions is recommended, spaced 6–8 weeks apart, with additional sessions available if needed at a reduced rate of £50 per session.
(Between 1-4 sessions booked 6 weeks apart may be required dependant on saturation of pigment & desired results).
A consultation is recommended before treatment.
If you're a first-time client, please complete the SPMU Online Consultation Form before booking or schedule an in-person consultation.

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ
IS PERMANENT MAKEUP RIGHT FOR ME?
Please make sure to check the following contra-indications list before booking & feel free to consult with us if needed.
Treatments CANNOT be performed under these circumstances:
Under the age of 18
The 'Tattooing of Minors Act 1969' pre-dates the widespread use of micro-pigmentation in the UK, it defines a tattoo as the insertion into the skin of any coloring material designed to leave a permanent mark and prohibits tattooing (as per the definition) of anyone in the UK under the age of 18 years
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
It is not possible to have cosmetic tattooing done whilst you are still pregnant or breastfeeding, you must wait a minimum of 2 weeks after giving birth for your hormones to regulate before having the treatment done. You must also wait until you have finished breast feeding, primarily because not enough research has been done to prove that the treatment cannot harm your child through breast feeding , although very unlikely, it's not with the risk. Additionally, certain hormones released in the body when breastfeeding will cause your skin to reject the pigment, ultimately resulting in them completely disappearing days/weeks after the treatment.
Anaesthetic allergies
Treatment can’t be done or might be painful without. This is one of the primary reasons we perform a patch test prior to your treatment.
Haemophilia
Excessive bleeding during the microblading appointment can cause an artist to not be able to see what they are doing and cause the pigment to not retain well. It may also be dangerous for the client.
Keloid scarring; particularly on the face
If you are prone to keloid scarring then you should avoid permanent makeup procedures, or get it done at your own risk. Your artist cannot guarantee that you will heal without a keloid scar if you are prone to them and it would be very sad to have keloid scar on your new brows. Even with use of the best aftercare products that are supplied in your aftercare kit, this still cannot guarantee that you will not heal with a keloid scar if you are prone to them.
Psoriasis, Shingles, Seborrheic Keratosis or Eczema on the treatment area
If you have skin which is prone to complications with eczema, psoriasis, keratosis pilaris and dermatitis (i.e., your skin is constantly flaking, itching, or aggravated), chances are your skin is in a is in a constant state of regeneration and is not suitable for tattooing and therefore won’t hold the colour well.
Birthmarks or port wine stains (Nevus Flammeus)
Broken capillaries on the treatment area
Heart conditions or a Pacemaker
Post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation that is easily triggered
Treatments can ONLY be performed with Doctors written permission:
H.I.V., Hepatitis & Autoimmune diseases such as Lupus or Alopecia
You should get clearance from your doctor before considering permanent makeup.
Vitiligo
There is a risk of spreading the vitiligo. We cannot treat any affected areas but can work around it if you are willing to accept the risk.
Anti-coagulants (Blood thinners)
Long term use of Heparin, Warfarin, Aspirin, Ibuprofen Vitamins A, or E, or other blood-thinning medications, can increase clotting time resulting in increased bleeding and bruising. This can impact the implantation of pigment, meaning you may need additional treatments, as well as increase the healing time. If your doctor approves it, please stop taking these medications at least 7 days before your appointment to avoid excessive bleeding.
Diabetes Type 1 & 2
If you are insulin dependent, you are not a good candidate for permanent makeup. Your healing could be compromised and may take longer than expected. However, if your doctor feels your condition is under control you may request a letter stating that you are able to undergo a cosmetic procedure.
High blood sugar levels can complicate the healing process and risk of infection with SPMU. If your doctor does clear you to get SPMU done, make sure that your blood sugar levels are within the target range before your appointment. Your blood sugar levels may rise, or fall during the appointment because the appointment is long, possibly painful and “stressful” to the body.
Epilepsy
Medication may cause side effects that can result in fainting during the procedure.
Untreated HIGH or LOW blood pressure
Your blood pressure has to be at a stable condition, otherwise you may have slightly more bleeding than normal. Excessive bleeding during the procedure can dilute and expel the pigment colour which leads to poor results.
Cancer
6 months after chemotherapy or radiotherapy is advisable as well as a note from an oncologist to check if your blood count is high enough. However, with terminal cancer, we can proceed with your doctor’s consent.
Isotretinoin / Roaccutane
Your skin must not be in the process of healing when getting a permanent makeup treatment. Topical steroids thin the skin, so you need to wait 6-12 months after you’re done with your Accutane treatment before having your eyebrows done and should obtain clearance from your physician in advance.
Any skin condition in which the treatment area is unaffected
Doctors Consent form links below;

Online e sign consent form: Click on this link
Under the following circumstances treatment CAN be performed but only if the following steps are taken:
Steroids, Disulfiram or Cortisone creams
You must be free of these for at least 6 months before the treatment and such medications shall not to be resumed at least 6 weeks after post final treatment. Healing will be slower and the risk of scarring higher. Disulfiram causes a severe reaction to anything containing alcohol (pigments).
Tretinoin, Retin-A, Differin, Tazarotene, EpiDuo, Ziana
Discontinue use 7 days before and 30 days after treatment. Failure to discontinue use can cause the pigments to fade prematurely.
Herpes Simplex
People who suffer from cold sores may experience an outbreak after a procedure. It's imperative that you discuss the procedure with your doctor beforehand and receive proper instructions on how to prevent an outbreak after a procedure. Use Aciclovir, Zovirax or Valtrex 4 days before the treatment and for 4 days afterwards.
Botox
Please wait at least 3 weeks post-treatment and one week prior. Having Botox (or similar injectables) just before a semi-permanent makeup procedure can affect the placement of the pigment. This could mean that, as your Botox results wear off, you may be left with brows that are incorrectly placed.
It is generally considered a good idea to have your eyebrows done before you have Botox for the first time.
Chemical Peels
Please avoid any facial treatments such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion or micro-needling etc.) for 3 weeks before the procedure until the healing is completed.
Extremely Dry or Oily Skin
If a dermatologist has been seen to improve the skins condition as much as possible.
Retinols/Retinoids
Any strong retinoids must be avoided for 6 months prior to the treatment.
Eye Surgery
If you have had any form of eye surgery you will need to wait at least 6 months before a permanent makeup procedure near your eyes.
If you have:
Any pimples, active cold sores, bruises, sun burn or other skin irritations in the area to be treated, they will have to be healed before you are ready for the procedure. If there are any moles in the area, they will have to be removed and fully healed beforehand - if it is not possible to work around them safely.
If you have ANY questions regarding your suitability for permanent makeup, please feel free to contact us directly.
