REALISM HAIRSTROKES šŸ’‰ From zero brows to brows in REALISM HAIRSTROKES šŸ’‰

Morning ā˜€ļø I can’t believe it’s been almost 10 ye Morning ā˜€ļø

I can’t believe it’s been almost 10 years since I closed the door on reliable income, and went it alone. 

So much has changed in those 10 years! When I left I did lashes and brows. My business has grown. I HAVE GROWN!

Okay let’s cut to it..here’s a few things I’ve learnt along the way

Challenge 1 - fine tuning the office stuff! 

My advice:
Invest in processes that will take work load off you, such as, an online booking system, online consultation forms, online accounting.

Challenge 2 - Social Media

Post consistently for you and your business, whether that’s once a week or twice a week. If it overwhelms you then schedule your posts so you don’t physically have to do it. An online presence is all you need as a bare minimum. 

Challenge 3 - Accept that you cannot please everyone

Sadly, as true as it is, I bet every single business reading this can name at least one client that has not been happy with their results. It’s a very hard lesson to learn this one. It’s rare for me, but when it happens it cuts real deep (donkey from shrek voice! šŸ˜‚) It’s unrealistic to expect to please everyone, but arguably I know I go above and beyond to solve issues and if you do that then that’s all you can do!

There’s so many more I can add but I’d be here all day…food for thought though for the new businesses out there I hope šŸ¤—

Have a lovely day xxx
19 months healed and still looking fabulous. I’m 19 months healed and still looking fabulous. 

I’m a true fan of @hanami_pigments_official. It runs through my blood šŸ˜…

And this is why. 

Long term-heals are my priority! 

Did you know that permanent makeup pigments - even the blonde tones - contain black pigment? Carbon 7 to be exact with the pigment range I use. 

Black has the smallest molecule size, but it is the heavier matter lasting longer than the rest, so my aim when selecting a pigment for you, is to balance this out, so I match the weight of the carbon with other pigment colors to ensure I achieve the best light fastness possible….I.e. results like this. 

​Your undertone + pigment colour = healed result.

When I say I put everything into my work, I mean it šŸ’— it’s never a slap-dash treatment. So much thought and education goes into my results. I’m a bit of a geek when it comes to learning about pigments and the skin šŸ¤“

I’ll never know enough, and I’ll keep learning where possible šŸ¤šŸ¤
Well Firstly… There are 216,000 people residing Well

Firstly…

There are 216,000 people residing in my city (most of which are women FYI!) and I don’t think I could even manage 5% of those throughout my entire career 🤣 

It’s all about  P E R S P E C T I V E!! 

Secondly…

My farthest travelling clients live in Norway and Newport šŸ’—

Plus I have regular clients from Northampton, Kings Lynn, Bishop Stortford, London, Leeds, Norfolk, Biggleswade, Sheffield…etc. etc.

In fact today I’ve had two new sets, one drove 45 mins to get to me and the other lives in Birmingham…

So, actually, it really doesn’t matter what’s going on around you, shut out any noise that makes you feel bad vibes and just do you and do you good! šŸ’—

And remember…PERSPECTIVE!!!

Ohhhhh Savanna šŸ˜šŸ’•All in a days work šŸ‘šŸ¼šŸ™ŒšŸ¼ If you’re Ohhhhh Savanna šŸ˜šŸ’•All in a days work šŸ‘šŸ¼šŸ™ŒšŸ¼
If you’re wanting both treatments (lips and brows) this is possible in one day, just add an additional service upon booking. Click the link in my bio.

The aim here was to reshape and cover over the previous work on Savanna’s Brows, and add shape and dimension to her lips. Filler is GREAT for volume, but it does us no favours where lip shape is concerned. This is because filler blanches the lips, particularly the edges, so this is where lip tattooing comes into play and the two work amazingly well together…It can be really challenging adding colour to filled lips, mind. And these were just that šŸ˜…

My number one tip for hairstrokes - Slow and steady always šŸ¤

P.S fresh vs healed look very different, and the canvas I’m working on most definitely impacts the outcome. I offer different techniques to suit most skin types, but I know when it’s not possible, too.

Firstly…lips are so hard to photograph…

There’s some bruising present here which will of course reduce fairly quickly, but I’m all about real results. This can happen from time to time. No edits or makeup (don’t get me started!)

P came to me with a whole lotta fordyce spots which she really wanted to cover up..so that’s what we worked on as a focus! 

Permanent makeup is a great option to help camouflage fordyce spots…they’re a common complaint in lips! 

Fordyce spots are due to the over production of sebaceous glads, they’re not harmful and totally benign šŸ¤
Happy Birthday to you @tamsin_attewell I love you Happy Birthday to you @tamsin_attewell

Yep..you’re not..phew, you say. The Imposter Synd Yep..you’re not..phew, you say.

The Imposter Syndrome Cycle goes as follows:

1. You have a new project in mind 
2. You over-prepare for it and procrastinate, afraid to fail
3. You complete the project and you feel sense of huge relief and accomplishment 
4. You rationalise it’s success with ā€˜I was just lucky!’
5. The self doubt kicks in and you feel like a fraud!

First of all..

Do you know 82% of us suffer with this feeling?! 

Including myself. Know you’re not alone. 

In my notes section in my phone I write some positive affirmations, I check my Google reviews, I look back at successes, I EMBRACE my feelings and talk about them to the people that know me most and can kick me in to touch. It’s real. It’s horrible but remember:

What you BELIEVE and the REALITY are two different things. 

I.e. you believe you are robbing people, the reality is you’re robbing yourselves of self compassion and confidence. 

From one to another, you’re amazing and tune out any outside noise or doubt that tells you otherwise!

Providing a service and exposing that service for Providing a service and exposing that service for all to see, on the likes of instagram, really is quite a nerve wracking head space to be in. I get it, totally!!

I have lost count of the amount of times I have gone to post and at the last minute completely shut off from the idea, locked my screen and walked away from my phone! How about you? 

So this is a positive affirmation I tell myself a lot that I thought I’d share for those of you that need to hear this…

You ARE good at what you do. You ARE meant to be on the career path you are on, whether that’s a permanent makeup artist or not, and you deserve all the success in the world 😘

Oh…and regardless, you’ll have haters talk about you…ignore it and keep looking forwards towards your goals! It’s a better headspace to be in ā¤ļøšŸ«¶
Want to know a secret? I’ve recently changed my a Want to know a secret?

I’ve recently changed my aftercare and it’s upped the game for me! 

Photo dump of some recent heals I’ve had come back. These are after one session bar one so of course you might see a few little imperfections which I tweak at the second session šŸ’—šŸ’—

This is a common question: Why do you have two sessions? 

The second session or retouch as it’s named on my booking system is effectively a ā€˜control procedure’. It allows for adjustments to be made to the colour and the shape, plus fine tune any areas that need more saturation. 

No service is complete without it unless your heal is 100%!! This can happen and it’s amazing when it does :):)

Who is coming to see me this year? I’m excited to meet you! šŸ¤—
Here goes!! As a business owner… 1) Every day is Here goes!!

As a business owner…

1) Every day is a school day. This is true! Nobody knows everything whether you’re 10 years qualified or 2, and you can learn off another permanent makeup artist if you are open to it. Knowledge is power and good for the industry!

As an individual…

2) The person you were a year ago is different to the person you are today. I.e that persons opinion of you a year ago doesn’t define the person you are today. One of my personal struggles is anxiety. I have always had it. I have been medicated for it in the past on and off but now I read books and focus on being more self aware to keep my anxious thoughts at bay. Otherwise I can’t get out of it. I am currently strong and in a good mindset. Shifting your energy and creating space from toxicity really does help and my inbox is always open šŸ’•

As a mum…

3) Do one wash a day!! I have told lots of my mummy friends this. It comes from the queen of our family - my Grandma, and what ever she says is right and she won’t be told otherwise šŸ’šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļøšŸ˜† I swear it will keep you on top of your washing! Thank me later 🫶

Okay, so insta in 2024

Real talk

Do you come on here and find it all a bit intense? Don’t know where to even begin so you close off the app for another day? ME TOO!!

So, I’ve been doing my research on the algorithm and I thought I’d share a fun fact…

šŸ“£ YOU DON’T NEED TO POST EVERY SINGLE DAY šŸ“£

What matters is consistency. 

Consistency is key šŸ”‘

…and you can determine your own consistency whether that’s once a day or once a week

…but you have to try and stick to what your setting out to commit to.

Here’s what else I learnt:

* Instagram likes to know where it stands with your account and what it’s next move is…hence consistency šŸ”‘
* It doesn’t favour accounts that hit us hard and then ghosts us!šŸ‘»
* Posting QUALITY content once a week is better than posting mehhhh content once a day! šŸ™ŒšŸ¼

Hope that helps 😘😘😘

P.S I’m thinking of creating a mini marketing doc sharing the tips and tricks I’m slowly getting to grips with!! Would this interest you?

How nostalgic are before and afters on Insta by the way 🤣

My client has suffered with Alopecia for many years. She’d had her brows microbladed previously, so this work involved a shape correction.

If you’ve had your brows done before I’ll request pics before a booking fee is paid!
