NAME HERE

GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN, HOW HAS LIFE BEEN SINCE TREATMENT?

Very good. Eyebrow pencil-free! [laughs]

WHAT HAS BEEN THE BEST THING ABOUT HAVING HAD MICROBLADING?

I'd tried all different kinds of 'longlasting' pomades and pencils, but nothing is really as quite as longlasting as actual eyebrows and they all rub off eventually. Things like swimming, wearing hats and even being exposed to the rain were always quite a issue for me. I couldn't ever really relax properly.

I'd really lost count on the number of my husband's shirts that I'd left some kind of imprint on. I'd become quite used to going at his collars with some baking soda and a toothbrush to try and remove the remnants of my brow pencil smudges!

WHAT WAS YOUR INCENTIVE TO GO AHEAD TO BEGIN WITH?

I drastically over-plucked my eyebrows in the 90's when the thin, 'Spice Girl' brows were all the rage. Unfortunately for me, they never really recovered from that and I was left with practically no visible eyebrow left. As I've gotten older, and my hair has begun to go grey, it's only gotten worse.

You can dye the hair on your head, but eyebrow tinting only really works when you have some hair left to work with.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE END RESULT?

Gosh, thrilled. That's probably a bit of an understatement, to be honest.

The technique is all about looking like natural strands of hair so its actually a much better finish than I ever could have gotten with makeup.

CAN YOU TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH HARLEY HAIR?

I am a bit frightened of needles so I was quite anxious about having it done at all - but I really shouldn't have been as it wasn't actually painful in the slightest.

Admittedly, certain parts were a bit sore at times, but I'm very happy to exchange little soreness for a life free of covering my brows when it rains!

Everyone I met was great and I actually came to quite enjoy the sessions.

WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE US?

Because my eyebrows were such a source of stress for me, a friend suggested I looked at getting them tattooed.

I'd never considered that avenue, so I thought it sounded like a brilliant solution.

She had been getting her eyebrows threaded and tinted with Harley Hair for a while so I ended up just coming along with her when she has an appointment one day and got to talking to some of the girls at the clinic.

Once they told me that they could get me in for a free consult, I was really quite excited.

ANY ADVICE FOR THOSE THAT MIGHT BE CONSIDERING TREATMENT?

I wish someone had told me that it didn't hurt!

I've not got any tattoos myself, but people are always saying how painful they are.

I got quite anxious on the lead up to the first day of my treatment - but it all turned out absolutely fine. I was a wuss for nothing [laughs].

Having my eyebrows fuller like this has really evened out the proportions of my face, too.

It seems to have opened up my eyes a bit - I had no idea that something like that, something so straightforward, could have such an impact to every part of my face.

GIVEN YOUR EXPERIENCE, WOULD YOU COME BACK TO US FOR FUTURE TREATMENT?

I would.

In fact, I'm sure I will. There's no way I could revert back now.

The friend that recommended I try it in the first place has actually seen my results now wants to give it a go, too.
