Brow tattooing
Brows designed around your face by award-winning artist Alex Greasby. One appointment, with the technique chosen with you on the day, from £375 for two sessions.
The appointment
One appointment, tailored to you
Rather than asking you to pick a technique from a list before anyone has looked at your face, Alex offers a single appointment: the Bespoke Brow Tattoo. Your full consultation is included on the day.
Together you'll look at your features, skin type, natural hair, lifestyle and what you want your brows to do for you, then decide on the technique and pigment that will give you the best long-term result. It takes the guesswork out of choosing, and you don't have to worry about booking the 'right' style.
Two sessions are needed to reach full saturation and balance. The second is booked 6 to 12 weeks after the first, and it's where the colour and shape are finished. See prices.
Which styles might be used
You don't choose a style in advance. These are the effects Alex works in, and the one that suits your skin and features is chosen with you on the day, often as a blend rather than one or the other.

-
Healed hyper realism strokes in close-up Fine, individual strokes that follow the direction your own hairs grow, building shape and fullness that's hard to tell from natural brow hair, even up close. Also known as Soft Hair Effect or fluffy brows, and the modern alternative to microblading.
Suits Sparse or patchy brows, and anyone who wants the most natural result.
-
Pixel brows above, before below Tiny dots of pigment build a soft, shaded brow, lighter at the front and deeper through the tail. Softer and more diffused than powder, like a brow powder applied with a light hand.
Suits Light or sparse brows, and anyone who wants shading that stays subtle.
-
Powder brow on the left, before on the right More pigment density for a defined, filled-in finish, while still looking like makeup rather than a block of colour. The same idea as pixel, carried further.
Suits Anyone who fills their brows in every morning and likes a polished finish.
-
Combination brows, straight after Hair strokes through the front of the brow for a natural start, blending into soft shading through the body and tail. The texture of hyper realism with the definition of powder.
Suits Anyone who wants fullness and shape while keeping a soft, natural front.
Results
Brows from Alex's clients, fresh and healed. Fresh brows look darker and sharper for the first week or two, then soften as they heal. Select any photo to see it full size.
Previous work
Correcting brows done elsewhere
Old brow tattooing can be worked over, but it has to be assessed first. How dark, deep and saturated the existing pigment is, along with its shape and colour, decides what can realistically be achieved.
For many clients with previous work, at least one laser lightening session is recommended first, sometimes more, to create a clean enough base for the new brows to heal evenly and age well. Where the old work is light or patchy, Alex can often go straight over it.
Correction isn't a separate booking. It's planned inside the Bespoke Brow appointment, on an individual basis.
- Send clear photos before you book, so Alex can assess suitability
- Correction can take more than the usual two sessions
- Any extra sessions are priced separately and agreed with you first
Microblading
A better way than blading
Microblading cuts fine strokes into the skin with a handheld blade. It was the standard for years, and it's still what most people search for, but Alex no longer offers it.
It suits a narrow range of skin types, and on oilier or more mature skin it tends to blur and fade unevenly. Machine-based hyper realism creates the same soft, hair-like effect with far more control over depth and pigment placement, better retention and a more even fade.
If the look of microblading is what you're after, hyper realism is the modern version of it, and it's what Alex will usually recommend.
Inclusive by default
Gender affirming brow tattooing
Beauty and brows are for everyone. Every treatment here is open to every client, and designed around how you want to look and feel, now and long term.
Brows play a powerful role in self-expression. Sleek or fluffy, full or minimal, structured or intentionally undone, the shape and density are yours to decide.
Clients seeking gender affirming brows often suit hyper realism, as it gives flexibility in stroke pattern, density and structure, from subtle enhancement to stronger shaping. As with everything here, the technique is chosen as part of the bespoke process.
If you'd rather try something temporary first, brow lamination, hybrid brows or a shape and tint are a good place to start.
How it works
From your first enquiry to healed brows, here's what to expect.
-
Before booking
Send photos
Only if you've had brow tattooing before. Clear photos let Alex tell you whether she can work over it or whether it needs lightening first.
-
48 hours before
Patch test
A quick test to check how your skin reacts to the pigment and numbing cream, so you can go ahead with confidence.
-
On the day
First session
Your consultation is included. Alex maps the shape to your face, agrees the technique and pigment with you, and only then starts tattooing. Allow around two hours.
-
First two weeks
Healing
Brows look darker and sharper at first, then flake lightly and soften. Keep them clean and dry, and follow your aftercare instructions. Full aftercare.
-
6 to 12 weeks
Second session
The second half of the treatment, where colour is built and the shape perfected. It's part of the result rather than an optional extra, so book it when you book your first.

Unfortunately in my 20's when thin eyebrows were the trend I plucked my eyebrows to within an inch of their lives. Now 15 years later, thin eyebrows are a thing of the past so after a conversation with the lovely Alex she suggested Pixel Ombre brows which have a beautiful natural look to them but are a fuller brow.

Listened to my worries and concerns regarding shapes, shades and strokes etc. Completely put me at ease with her wealth of knowledge in this field and her artistic flare to literally bring out the best features of my face, my Brows! ... Long gone are the days of patchy, sparse brows that require pencilling in everyday!

She was very knowledgable when it came to deciding what treatment would work best for my skin and honest when it came to the shape and colour to suit my face. I had full faith in Alex throughout and am so happy with the outcome.

After many years of barely there eyebrows (and bad attempts to colour them in with pretty much every product going), I finally decided to get them tattood..... best decision ever! I had a consultation before booking to go through the whole process and what aftercare would be needed so on the day I was confident I was in good hands.

After years of hating my eyebrows I found Alex and had them tattooed. It's been a year and a half since I had them done and they still look great. I will be coming back when I require a touch up.

Alex is the best in the field. The most professional, high quality brow artist I have been to. She's so accommodating and friendly and her services are so sought after (understandably!). Have to book way in advance to get an appointment because she is just so incredibly good!

Which brow style should I book?
You don't need to choose one. Alex offers a single appointment, the Bespoke Brow Tattoo, and the technique is decided with you on the day once she has looked at your skin, your natural hair and the shape that will suit your face.
Bring photos of brows you like by all means. They're a useful starting point, and Alex will tell you honestly how that look would heal on your skin.
Is it the same as microblading?
No. Microblading cuts fine strokes into the skin with a hand tool, and Alex no longer offers it. She works with a machine, which gives more control over depth and pigment placement, heals more predictably and holds its shape for longer, particularly on oily or mature skin.
If you like the look of microblading, hyper realism gives the same soft, hair-like finish with a result that ages better.
How much does brow tattooing cost?
Brow tattooing is priced per session, and two sessions are needed for a finished result. It starts from £375 in total: £275 for your first session and £100 for your second. A £50 deposit secures your appointment and comes off the total.
An optional consultation before the day is £20, and there's a package price if you're having lips done too. Check the booking page for the latest prices.
What will my brows look like while they heal?
Darker and bolder than the finished result for the first few days. Around the end of the first week they start to flake, and for a week or two after that they can look lighter or patchy as the skin settles. The colour comes back through by around four weeks, and your second session builds on it.
I've had my brows tattooed somewhere else. Can you work over them?
Often, yes, but it needs assessing first, so please send clear photos before you book. How dark, deep and saturated the old work is decides whether Alex can work over it or whether it needs lightening first.
For many clients with previous brow tattooing, at least one laser lightening session is recommended to create a clean base. Correction can also take more than the usual two sessions, and any extra sessions are priced separately and agreed with you first.
How long will my brows last?
Usually one to three years before they need refreshing. Powder and pixel effects generally hold longer than fine strokes, and oily skin, sun and exfoliating skincare all fade pigment faster. Most clients book a colour boost every 12 to 18 months.
Is there anyone who can't have brow tattooing?
It isn't suitable during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and some medications and skin conditions mean waiting or choosing a different treatment. This includes blood thinners, recent Roaccutane, and eczema or psoriasis on the brow area.
You'll complete a health form before your appointment. If you're unsure about anything, mention it when you book and Alex will advise.
From £375 for two sessions
Ready for your new brows?
