Reviews
I have the perfect powder brows thanks to Heidi, I have had top-ups over the years and my brows always look fresh and on point. Heidi is highly skilled and takes good care of you, putting you at ease and makes sure that you are comfortable at all times.
Holly - East London
Heidi is amazing! I've been coming to Heidi for years now and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I get so many compliments on my eyebrows which frame my face so well. I'm so glad I don't have to waste time drawing them on every morning now! After being initially nervous, Heidi worked with me to create the perfect brows and gave me the exact brows that I wanted. I can't recommend her enough!
Jessica Boutcher - Chertsey
I went to Heidi with non-existent eyebrows and came out with the most beautiful eyebrows! I am quite fair and was worried that they wouldn't look natural but they are just perfect. My only regret is that is that I didn't get them done sooner.

FAQs
What’s the difference between SPMU & Microblading?
SPMU is performed using a digital, cosmetic tattooing machine. Although SPMU is a form of tattooing it is very different from regular tattooing. A cosmetic tattoo machine implants small amounts of pigment very close to the skin surface using ultra fine needles. The results are incredibly soft and delicate. The specially formulated pigments are designed to leave the skin surface through the exfoliation process thus making the enhancement Semi Permanent (please note, some pigment can remain in the skin indefinitely).
Microblading is performed manually with a hand held tool, the results can look very similar to SPMU however Microblading results generally do not last as long as SPMU results.
Both techniques can produce fine hairstrokes or a powder effect.
Does it hurt?
Will my brows be even?
What will happen at my consultation?
All cosmetic enhancement will be designed, pre drawn on and agreed by the client and practitioner before the procedure takes place.
A consultation will take place on the day of treatment, this is where the expected outcome will be discussed in detail.
Your desired outcome will be taken on board by the practitioner and then guidance will be given and suggestions will be made.
All procedures are performed with your comfort in mind, most people only report minor discomfort. The sensation is often likened to threading or tweezing. SPMU is generally far less painful than a regular tattoo. Each individuals tolerance to pain is unique and is therefore hard to determine.
We advise some pain relief pre treatment, this is entirely optional and just a precautions incase of extreme sensitivity. Asprin, ibuprofen and any other blood thinning medication is not to be taken on the day of treatment. Paracetamol is the recommend choice.
It is normal for eyes to water, nose to run and even some sneezes during the treatment time.

How long does SPMU last?
There is no definitive answer for this. How long SPMU can last is entirely dependable on the individual, 1-3 years is the average although rarely it can last longer. Dependable factors are; technique used, and style, also how soon after the initial treatment an annual top up is performed, which pigments are used and strength of colour, skin type and if aftercare instructions are adhered to.
The following factors may also affect longevity; general skin condition, whether or not you smoke, how much alcohol you consume, the amount of exposure to the sun, (in fact we recommend a min of spf 30 to treated areas.)
If you use sun beds, this will drastically decrease how long your treatment lasts for, as will sunbathing without protecting your skin and the use of products such as aha's and other skin rejuvenating agents to the treated and surrounding areas.
Certain medications and supplements can affect pigment retention as can some medical conditions.
SPMU like with many other aesthetic procedures is not a “one off” treatment and maintenance is required to keep it looking its best.
You can expect to have colour top up procedures annually which are usually charged at a lower price to your initial treatment,
SPMU is a form of tattooing but unlike traditional tattoos, natural pigments are used and the pigment is placed slightly higher within the structure of the skin, the pigment will fade but can actually remain within the layers of the skin permanently hence the other term for treatment 'permanent make up'.
Do I need to shave my eyebrows off?
NO! Please don’t shave your eyebrows off! I will work with and around your natural brows.
Will it look natural?
Your SPMU will look dark and unnatural for around 3-7 days post treatment. You are likely to feel quite conscious of it at this stage although no one else will really notice. After approximately 7 days your enhancement will begin to soften and lighten to a more natural appearance. The enhancement will take a minimum of 4 weeks to heal and can take as many as 12 weeks to settle and adjust fully.
A minimum of 4 weeks is needed in between treatments on the same area.
What colours are available?
There are many colours available to choose from and colours can be mixed to create a unique colour. At your consultation, your natural skin tones and undertones will be discussed in detail along with what you would like the outcome to be. Colour selection is key and it takes an experienced eye to achieve a perfect match. Your expectations will be taken on board and we will use our extensive knowledge and experience to ensure that the perfect colour is selected.
All colours/pigments used meet all of the FDA and EU regulations for safety, testing, quality control and manufacturing. They come with an assured safety record and are certified by PETA as being vegan and cruelty-free.
Pigments contain iron oxides.
White pigments contain titanium dioxide.
Is SPMU safe?
ABSOLUTELY!! The strictest sterilisation and hygiene standards are kept here at The Beauty Bar Guildford to create a clean and safe environment.
Infection control is considered paramount.
Full PPE is worn by practitioners during all treatments.
All equipment used is the latest and most technologically advanced and complies with all Health & Safety requirements.
Single use cartridges and equipment is used for each client and disposed of safely once the procedure is finished.
Disinfection and sterilisation of equipment used between clients.
We adhere to all relevant legislation set by my local authority regarding SPMU procedures and comply with all the relevant regulations set by them.
Our clinic is fully licensed by Guildford Borough council to provide SPMU.
Do I get a say in the outcome?
Yes, a good practitioner will always take on board what the clients wants. Results and expectations should be discussed simply and in detail. All aspects of the procedure will be explained thoroughly although my job as a technician is to guide and make suggestions - not to govern the final outcome. Consultation is most definitely a two way street.
Why is my cosmetic enhancement so dark?
Your SPMU will look dark and unnatural for around 7 days post treatment. You are likely to feel quite conscious of it at this stage although no one else will really notice. After approximately 7 days your enhancement will begin to soften and lighten to a more natural appearance. The enhancement will take a minimum of 4 weeks to heal and can take as many as 12 weeks to settle and adjust fully.
A minimum of 4 weeks is needed in between treatments on the same area.
Is swelling normal?
Lips and eyeliners are likely to swell a little. Brows not so much. Swelling is nothing to worry about unless it is persistent. Any swelling after 3 days, we would ask for you to contact us to discuss.
What is a top up and when do I top up?
There are two types of top ups. The top up after your very first treatment and annual colour top ups.
When you have your very first session of SPMU you will be given a top up 4-12 weeks after the first session. This second session is important. At the first session your practitioner will have selected a very “safe” colour, size and shape. This is a sign of a good practitioner. The second session is used to perhaps go a shade darker and perhaps a bit bigger. This session is also used to iron out any imperfections. It is easy to enlarge or darken an enhancement but not so easy to lighten or shrink an enhancement (although it is possible).
Annual colour top ups
After you have had your initial x2 sessions, to maintain your enhancement, you will be required to top up your colour annually, this is your annual colour top up. As SPMU is designed to fade overtime, annual colour top ups are designed maintain and reinvigorate your enhancement.
This is a single session and is chargeable.
