Letter of Interest

Thank you for your mail and interest in booking an appointment.

To book an appointment please forward on a picture of your brows facing natural light.

The skin must be clear of any breakouts.

Please also confirm if you take any medications so we can check the treatment is suitable for you.

In order to be able to create the best brows for each of her clients Hayley has completed multiple advanced trainings worldwide. She believes it is important to design a brow that is suitable to each client’s skin type whilst keeping in mind the desired result.

What to expect during your appointment.

  • Your brows will need a minimum of two treatments to complete, the first treatment is where the majority of the work is completed. Hayley will design the perfect brow shape to suit the symmetry and measurements of your face, then the custom blended pigment is implanted into the skin with fine hair like strokes.
  • Pain is relative and is similar to that you may experience when threading or plucking.
  • Numbing cream is applied half way through the treatment.
  • Hayley believes it is important to assign 2.5-3 hours per client as she is dedicated to creating the most beautiful brows for each client with no time restrictions.
  • Please make sure to allow for extra time on the day of your appointment.

It important to note that some clients may also require shading. Generally clients with very little hair or a prominent hair growth shape (90s brows). Shading is completed with a different technique. Hayley will advise you on your image if you are one of these clients. Shading costs €100.

You will return after 4-8 weeks for the final edit of the treatment. Please note the maximum timeframe for your top up is 12 weeks. After 12 weeks your top up will be considered an annual top up and will incur an extra charge.

It is important to adhere strictly to all aftercare advice as it will greatly affect the results of your treatment. Hayley will provide you with an aftercare cream and detailed instruction.

Please be advised you can’t have this treatment if:

  • You are pregnant.
  • Breast feeding (8 weeks after finishing is best).
  • Currently undergoing chemo or just about to start treatment,
  • You are on blood thinners. If unsure please send on the name of medication to check with the Phi Doctor.
  • You have a history of keloid scarring.
  • You are on, or have taken antibiotics within the last 30 days.
  • If you have had a peel in the last 30 days.
  • If you suffer from rosacea, psoriasis or dermatitis on the face or brow area.

Please note results will vary depending on clients skin type and lifestyle. Some clients may require additional treatments. Any additional treatments will be charged accordingly from €100 plus.

If you have very oily/combination skin an ombré/powder brow or machine strokes will be more suitable for you. If you decide to go with microblading against the advice given and it does not last or blur please note the risk is taken at your own expense. Hayley will advise you based on her extensive knowledge and expertise as to what technique will give you the best results.

Ombré powder brows are achieved using a small machine, which disperses extremely fine dots of pigments even into and across the skin in an airbrush or shading technique. This differs from the implantation of pigment during microblading and so can reduce risks for oily skin clients. Please note this is not a “tattooed brow” when performed correctly and healed it will give a soft pixelated powdered affect with stunning results. It also lasts longer up to 2-3 years.

How long will my brows last?

There are many factors involved in the longevity of semi-permanent brows such as medications, lifestyle, sun exposure, use of retinols or glycolic acids, skin type, etc. Most clients with normal skin type will get anything from 18 months up to two and a half years. Please note there are no guarantees with semi permanent brows.

Does the treatment affect my own hair growth?

No, think of it as a treatment for the skin. Your hair growth is not disturbed and in some cases can even stimulate hair growth.

What happens after 18 months?

You can choose to top up the brows or allow them to fade away. Top ups within two years cost from €450. After two years we need to begin the treatment again.

The price of the treatment is €590, this includes both treatments.

Once confirmed a deposit of €180 will secure your time and date. Appointments are only held once deposit has been paid.

Deposits are only refundable once you give 48 hours notice of cancellation. Please note the balance of €410 is due on the first day of your treatment.

All treatments take place in Clane, Co. Kildare.
