I am not sure which facial to chooseThat's absolutely fine as I do a lot of different facials. I'd recommend you book in for a consultation and taster facial so we can discus in more depth what you need. I offer 30min, 60min and 90min bespoke facial appointments which may incorporate different modalities depending on what your skin needs at the time.

What is permanent makeup?Permanent makeup, also known as micropigmentation, is an innovative procedure, in which carefully applied hypo-allergenic pigment is gently implanted using disposable micro-needles, into the dermal layer of the skin. Unlike body tattoos which go a little deeper. It is permenent but designed to fade naturally over time. This is essential as skin and hair colour change over time. A colour boost can be performed every few years to refresh the pigment.
