“Brilliant eyebrows..."
Natural looking brows are one of the hall marks of Alison’s great success in the semi permanent make up world. She can tailor make a look that’s right for you – from barely there brows, created with ultra fine, individual hair strokes, using a variety of natural pigments to enhance your hair, eye and skin tones. Or, if you prefer, more defined brows – Alison can create the look you have always longed for
Alison specialises in clients with hair loss, having worked with alopecia sufferers for almost 20 years. Alison’s advanced natural eyebrows technique is an absolute necessity for anyone experiencing partial or total hair loss.
"Seductive eyes..."
Semi permanent eye enhancement can create a defined liner along the top and bottom lids, or create a subtle effect to flatter your natural lash line.
Eyeliner can dramatically define your eyes, giving you that confident air. Alison can create the perfect smudge free look you have always dreamed of. Imagine, no more “panda eyes”!
Sexy and smoky or just softly pretty, Alison’s eyelash enhancement gives the appearance of fuller eyelashes by mimicking thousands of tiny eyelashes within the lash line.
Clever eyeliner shading creates a soft, smudgy shadow, giving you the most sensual eyes ever.
"Luscious lips..."
Balancing the lips and correcting tiny imperfections so you can do away with always having to wear lipstick, is one of Alison’s specialties.
Lip liner helps create volume and symmetry by redefining the outline of the mouth, whilst the lip blush softens the colour into the lip, to provide natural looking contours.
Or, if you want to boost the natural colour – then full colour can be applied to the entire lip, so you will only need to add lip-gloss for a final touch of glamour.
Alison can create a sheer and natural look that waves “ goodbye” to faded lipstick and says “hello” to naturally defined lips. She will create a bespoke and perfectly applied look by mixing and matching colours to achieve your desired effect.
The results are stunning and the size and the shape of the lips will appear noticeably enhanced.
There is also a qualified nurse on site, so why not combine ‘lip filler’ and a lip blush for the perfect pout.

WHAT IS SEMI-PERMANENT MAKE-UP?
It is a process whereby top quality iron-oxide pigments are implanted into the dermal layer of the skin, which (after the second visit), should last for several years. Clients are offered a patch test prior to the first procedure to see if they will have any allergic reaction to the pigment or anaesthetic used. 99.9% of people do not have any reaction at all.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE A TREATMENT?
You will need to allow 1 ½ hours for your first procedure. If you intend to have a “full face” (3 procedures together) then you should allow 2 hours in total.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Semi-Permanent Make-Up should last for several years. Over that time the colour will fade and break down. It is suggested that you come back to us for a “top up” procedure every 18 months / 2 years to keep the look complete and fresh. A “top up” appointment is half the current full treatment price.
DOES IT HURT?
Some clients feel no discomfort at all - others feel minimal discomfort. We use topical anaesthetics to minimise discomfort. Client’s say that having a procedure is similar to having their eyebrows plucked or their legs waxed. Once the procedure is complete there is no discomfort whatsoever.
WILL I BE ABLE TO GO OUT WITHOUT EVERYONE NOTICING?
After a procedure the colour implanted will be darker, more intense. This will last for a few days until the area exfoliates and the true colour emerges. Generally it is only you who notices the darker colour. If anaesthetic is used you may swell slightly and have a reddening of the area - this will go down usually by the end of the day. It is suggested that if you are having an eyeliner procedure that you bring a pair of dark glasses with you (as you may look as if you have been crying). A little inconvenient – but the long terms results are well worth it.
WHY DO I NEED A SECOND APPOINTMENT?
On the face it is better to under-do than over-do. After one month of healing we invited you back (at no charge) to have a top-up treatment. At this stage you will have had four weeks to get use to the micropigmentation, so you will be 100% sure as how much darker/thicker you wish to go to achieve your desired result.
WHAT ABOUT AFTER-CARE?
You will be given a comprehensive after care guide after the treatment, along with verbal instructions and relevant after-care products.
