“It’s really expensive!”
It depends how you look at it. Yes,
semi-permanent eyebrows are more
expensive than a brow pencil and
wax, but semi-permanent eyebrows
last anywhere between 2 to 5 years.
Add up how many salon brow shapes
you would have in that time, and
compare the cost to the initial cost
of your semi-permanent brows, and
things start to look a little more rosy.
“It hurts!”
No, we use anaesthetics for the area
we work on, so pain is minimal.
“You’re left with
unsightly scabs for
weeks after treatment”
This does happen and the amount of
scabbing depends on the individual;
we have creams to prevent it, but if
any scabbing does occur, it normally
heals with one week.
“It fades quickly”
You can have your lip line, brows or
eyeliner on for 2 to 5 years. I would
say that is quite impressive. Just
imagine never having to re-apply
your lip liner or worry that your
eyeliner has smudged!
“It looks fake and
unnatural”
We don’t have a one size fits all
policy. When it comes to brows,
we look at your natural shape and
ascertain what look you wish to
achieve before the treatment. The
same goes for the lips or eyeliner;
many different looks are achievable.

We speak to Jurgita, owner of The Little Beauty Box, about
the increasing popularity of semi-permanent make-up
The Little Beauty Box in Newmarket has become a mecca for the latest advancements and
technology that the beauty industry has to offer, from 3D laser lipo to biosurface peels,
and, most recently, the introduction of semi-permanent make-up. “We use Purebeau
Permanent Cosmetics and our technician has nearly 10 years’ experience in the permanent
make-up industry. Her work takes her to London and also overseas, so we are very lucky to
have such expertise in Newmarket,” says Jurgita.
