Are you looking for a beautiful brow that lasts, without painful permanent techniques?

Wanting to avoid fake looking caterpillar brows? Fed up of tints that simply don't last?  I hear you!

Results can last up to 2 weeks on the skin and 4-6 weeks on the brow hair, reducing the need for re-tints. Katie says about her brows, "Soooo happy with them Amber!!Been showing them...
