Permanent makeup
Brows and lips, designed to enhance natural features and save time
Permanent makeup, also known as a cosmetic tattoo, is a cosmetic procedure that involves implanting pigment into the skin to create long-lasting makeup designs.
Fluffy Combination Brow
Hair strokes and shading
The Fluffy Combination Brow combines hairstrokes and shading to create a natural, fluffy, and defined brow. These two popular methods create a soft "fluffy" appearance and is ideal for those who want a realistic look of hairstrokes but also desire the added fullness and structure that shading provides.
3 hrs, second appointment included£270.00
Ombre Blush Brow
A soft, powdered finish
The OBB technique is an over dramatised fade where the brow is significantly lighter in the front and then gets deeper in colour as you move throughout the brow to the end. This technique is ideal for anyone that likes a soft, powdered makeup effect on the eyebrows without any harsh lines.
3 hrs, second appointment included£250.00
Lip Blushing
Lip Blushing is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that gives lips a boost of colour and can help fix imbalances and improve the appearance of lips.
The first of two appointments, with the second 6-8 weeks later to carry out any necessary improvements or add more colour if required.

“the most amazing place to get your nails done! Louise is amazing, lots of fun and has so many creative ideas! I said pink and blue and the result is INCREDIBLE. So happy!!”
“Cannot recommend this place enough! They are always happy to talk through what they are doing and why they are doing it which is reassuring for someone with anxiety. They make you feel comfortable and welcome and their work is always top notch - never had a bad nail job here.”
“Brilliant experience and such a lovely team :) got my nails done here for the first time and I will definitely be returning. Louise is so knowledgeable and is all about attention to detail, whether that's ensuring my nails were exactly the shape and length I wanted to using a lower temperature on the UV machine as my nails are a little sensitive. She's also really careful when removing gels with the drill and always makes sure the nails underneath aren't touched! Best experience in Leighton Buzzard for sure!”
