Bespoke beauty treatments designed to enhance your natural features

We conduct a thorough consultation to understand each client's individual needs and preferences, ensuring a customised treatment that delivers natural-looking results.

We always use high-quality, sterile equipment and follows strict health and safety guidelines to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. Depending on the treatment, the session can take 1.5 to 3 hours.

A top-up session 4-6 weeks after the initial treatment is recommended to achieve the desired colour and shape, ensuring long-lasting, quality results.

Over time, colour can fade due to factors such as sun exposure or skincare products. A colour booster can help refresh the look of the semi-permanent makeup.
We are all different, and some skin is more sensitive to pain than others, but having had SPMU treatments myself, I would call it more like irritation rather than pain.
Please remember the treated area will look darker for the first 2-3 days, then the colour will start losing intensity. By week 4-6, it will fade by approximately 50%, sometimes 60%, which is exactly what we expect with SPMU treatments.
It is best if your lips are in top condition before having them done. Give them a little attention in the days before your appointment: gently exfoliate with a soft toothbrush, apply lip balm regularly, and drink plenty of water to help hydrate your skin.
Lip filler first is always better. However, you should wait for 21 days either before or after having injectables.
It can last between 12 months and 3 years, depending on your skin and how it retains the pigment. The pigment lightens over time and fades away. Unlike microblading, it doesn't leave any scars or marks.
The purpose of the touch-up treatment is to fine-tune your enhancement. The treatment is not considered complete without a top-up.
No, it will not. Only old-fashioned tattoos turn green or blue as they go too deep into the skin. A different technique is used in SPMU. We don't puncture the skin as deeply, so the pigment isn't trapped permanently. Semi-permanent lash lines gently fade away over about 3 years.
