I've just had the final touches to my HD eyebrows. Not only was it a lovely experience ? Debbie who did them is obviously very good at what she does & gave me a realistic advise relating to this procedure, how to look after them and anything else I needed to know. I couldn't be more pleased with my new brows
......I ? them!!!

A skin tag that had planted itself for over 20 years

Appointment verified by SaloniQ Software

Well I went in after a recommendation and was very nervous as it was a large skin tag and had no idea if it could be removed. After it was examined, Debbie totally explained the procedure and what experience to expect, and throughout made me comfortable and confident in what she was doing. After 20 minutes she handed me a mirror and I was amazed by the results, a further five minutes was spent advising me on how best to look after my what I can only describe as a tiny scab compared to what I first went in with , absolute fantastic and professional and chuffed to bits for the result

Debbie is so warm, friendly and professional too - explains every step of the procedure. And even though I now have small / short lashes, they lifted lovely and have made my eyes look brighter and my eyeliner (also done by Debbie) more prominent! I’d recommend this service to anyone, it’s well worth every penny.

I cannot recommend Debbie highly enough. She has done a wonderful job on my eyebrows which never grew back after chemotherapy. Totally professional and really makes you feel at ease that she wants to give her clients the perfect results they want. You also have the added bonus that she is a really lovey person.
