Signature Treatments
Ombre & Powder Brows create a soft, shaded effect that mimics the appearance of brow make up. Using a specialist PMU tattoo machine, tiny pixels of pigment are gently layered into the skin to build shape, definition and fullness while maintaining a natural appearance.
This technique is suitable for most skin types and often heals more evenly and predictably over time. Ideal for clients wanting natural definition, fuller-looking brows and a low maintenance beauty routine.
Ombre & Powder Brows
Designed to mimic the look of natural eyebrow hairs. Nano Brows create the appearance of realistic eyebrow hairs using the PMU machine rather than a manual microblading tool. Delicate hair-like strokes are implanted into the skin to enhance shape, fill sparse areas and give that 'fluffy brow' look.
Unlike traditional microblading, Nano brows are considered to be gentler on the skin and can be suitable for a wider range of skin types. The result is soft, realistic brows that blend seamlessly with your natural hair growth.
Nano Brows
A blend of realistic Nano hair strokes and soft powder shading, creating natural texture with added fullness and definition. Customised to suit your features and desired look.
Ideal for clients seeking the impression of fluffy brows at the front but with the definition and shading of Powder brows throughout the mid-tail of the brow.
Combination Brows
Fine Line Tattoos
Creativity and attention to detail have always been at the heart of my work. With a BA (Hons) Degree from Gray’s School of Art, Robert Gordon University, my background in Art & Design gave me a strong understanding of shape, balance and aesthetics, which naturally led me into the world of Permanent Make Up.
For over 7 years, I’ve helped clients enhance their natural features through bespoke PMU treatments. My approach has always been simple: create soft, natural-looking results that complement your face rather than overpower it.
I specialise in subtle, beautifully balanced brows designed to look effortless and flattering. Whether you’re looking to restore lost definition, create symmetry or simply save time each morning, my goal is always to achieve a result that feels like you — just a little more polished.
Studio 163 has been designed to feel calm, welcoming and unhurried. Many clients tell me their appointment feels more like a chance to relax than a treatment session, and some even fall asleep during the process!
Alongside Permanent Make Up, I am now expanding into Fine Line Tattooing, offering delicate, elegant designs created with the same attention to detail and natural aesthetic that Studio 163 is known for.
I genuinely love getting to know my clients and creating a space where people feel comfortable, confident and cared for from consultation through to healed results.

Common Questions
Does Permanent Make Up hurt?
Most clients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the treatment feels. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, and a secondary numbing gel is used throughout the procedure to keep you as comfortable as possible.
Will my brows look natural?
Yes. Natural, soft-looking brows are my speciality. Every treatment is carefully tailored to suit your facial features, skin tone and personal style. My aim is always to enhance, not overpower.
How long does Permanent Make Up last?
Results vary from person to person, but most clients return for a colour boost every 12–24 months to keep their brows looking fresh.
What is the difference between Powder Brows and Nano Brows?
Powder Brows create a soft, shaded makeup effect, whilst Nano Brows use fine hair-like strokes to mimic natural brow hairs. During your consultation, I’ll help you decide which option is best for your skin type and desired look.
How long does the appointment take?
Your first appointment typically lasts around 2.5–3 hours. This includes consultation, brow mapping, colour selection and treatment.
Do I need a patch test?
A patch test is required at least 48 hours before treatment and can be completed quickly at the studio.
What if I have very little or no eyebrow hair?
Permanent Make Up can be a wonderful option for clients with sparse brows, over-plucked brows, hair loss or conditions such as alopecia. Every treatment is individually designed to create the most natural result possible.
Why do brows look darker immediately after treatment?
Freshly treated brows will appear darker, bolder and more defined immediately after your appointment. This is completely normal. As the skin heals over the following 2–4 weeks, the colour will soften and lighten, revealing a more natural healed result.
