Dear All -
Remember when I posted about my pink eyebrows or lack of them? Many of you commented and posted who best to go to. Kimmi kindly offered but she also lives at the other end of the country and is swanning off to Spain; I wanted them done sooner rather than later. :hug: though Kim!

Funnily enough our lovely Di Plummer went to work for Karen Betts Nouveau Contours (Lashes and semi-permenent makeup) and her team and I received a cool newsletter with before and afters on semi-permanent make-up. I knew Karen was well known in this area and to be fair she had offered to do my brows on numerous occasions and I never had the time.

That was it... I decided to call and see if it was possible to have Karen herself; I have known Karen for years as she trained with us in nails eons ago; I have seen with much excitement and happiness, her rise to be one of the true pioneers in her field of expertise!! She is also on 10 Years Younger and works on Harley Street various times per year to do specific intricate procedures. Go Karen!

So I am sitting her proudly sporting eyebrows that look bloody fantastic... they actually look like hairs, they frame my face and I love them :). She actually used this cool (I guess you would call it a ruler) so that everything she did was perfect and in line with the frame of my face. Then she drew what she wanted on with this cool black Kohl pencil and actully lifted my brows up!!:eek:

During this time I had a proper consultation and she had numbed my brows.. I swear throughout the entire process I didn't flinch once and it really didn't hurt one bit...

If anyone is interested in this field of beauty I would highly recommend Karen and the team for training; they are experts. I believe that their expertise lies in lashes and the semi-permanent makeovers she has done in all body areas that are truly remarkable.

I am so happy to have lovely brows again and I can't thank Karen enough for her time, her enthusiasm for our industry and her art... she really is great!!

Thanks for letting me share with you guys... I don't often write in this section!! :hug:

Karen did take before shots but the reason they look OK on pictures is because I drew them in. They were done in Di's training days and I think the pigment was possibly slightly off but also, my love of the sun won't have helped. Karen has told me I must wear SPF 30 over them so they don't fade and they will last 18mths - cool huh!!! :!: I looked minging the day I went to see her so not sure if I would post the 'before' shots!!! :eek:
 
Hi, glad to hear that you have managed to get them done. Did you have Karen herself doing them for you then?
Karens salon is just down the road from me and she is one of the best for this kind of treatment.
also just wanted to say that she as worked really hard to get where she is today and wish her all the luck in the world. (lucky girl)

:hug:
 
Sorry I didn't make it you in time Samantha. I've been manic.

I can't wait to see them; Karen is brilliant (and a lovely person too). xxx

Kimmi don't worry - if I ever need specific areas waxed you are the ONLY person in the world I would go to!! :hug: I am sure when Karen sees this she will feel all warm and fuzzy! :!:
 
WOW that sounds sooooo cool!!....(hmmm sounding like a bit of a 10yr old there...but hey i am easily impressed)
xx
 
That procedure sounds great...wish i could get it done....my eyebrows are hardly visible, always have to pencil them in and fed up with folk asking if I have any eyebrows!!!!:sad:..I think the fact that I have hypothyroidism dosent help either, has made them very very sparse and pale!...if i won the lottery that would be 1st on my list!
 
Hiya

Love to see some pics

i would love to see you looking minging like us mere mortals :lol:
 
Sounds like a fab experience Samantha, congratulations :hug: I'll add my voice to the cry for before and after pictures too :lol: I sent Kim a picture of my brows after describing them and asking if she could help and am now frantically saving pennies to afford to take the step, Attila the Hun would be proud of mine! :eek:

sUSAN THAT TOTALLY CRACKED ME UP... you should see me at the weekend :lol: - Karen did take a before and she is going to take an after when she has done a top up and checked she is 100% happy. They have asked if I can go in the newsletter and that's just what I said... as long as I don't look minging :lol: ... so there may be pictures but it Karen who has them... watch this space. :hug:
 
Hiya Samantha,

Oh I'm pleased you got the brows you so longed for. Karen trained me in lashes, she is brill. I live near one of her trainers Kathy Brown, who has done my lashes.

I'm off to see Debra at Harley St to have my makeup done.


I will look forward to seeing you in the Nouveau news letter.

Take care happy Bunnie

Jen x
