Tracy Watson

Amazing transformation. Carley is so customer focussed and passionate to supply and deliver best and natural results. Highly recommend Thank you 👍

Donna Jackson

Had the colour boost on my brows done last week and Carly has done a fantastic job again. Carly takes the time to go through the options and gives great recommendations and advice.

Susan Shaw

Amazing PMU artist, wouldn't trust anyone else but Carly, she is an absolute wizard with brows, had mine done at a previous salon and wasn't happy, Carly soon sorted them out for me and I absolutely love them now. If you are thinking of PMU or microblading, look no further, contact Carly and let her weave her magic and guide you through the process, you definitely won't regret it 🖒😀

Trish Frettsome

Carly is fantastic, she really takes time and care to give you the best results for you. I was initially a little worried about having my eyebrows tattooed but the end results were fantastic and really gave me my confidence back ! Can highly recommend.

I’d contemplated PMU for my brows for years before I found Carly on Instagram and decided to take the plunge. I am SO pleased I did. Carly is a true artist, and the loveliest person, and put me at ease from my first consultation and through both my brow appointments. My hairstroke brows look exactly how I hoped they would look - subtle and completely natural. People don’t believe they’re tattooed which is the perfect outcome for me. I can’t thank, or recommend, Carly enough - she is incredible.

I cannot recommend Carly enough...I over plucked my brows back in the 90's when it was trendy to have a thin brow and they never grew back since. After 20 years of hating my brows and having no confidence without (badly) pencilled in brows I now have brows that I absolutely love thanks to Carly. She is so professional and so skilled, put me totally at ease right from my first conversation with her. For my first 'tattoo' to be on my face I was definitely nervous but she took away any worries and concerns with her calm and professional nature. Please don't hesitate about contacting Carly if you are considering permanent make up, it is the best thing I ever did and well worth the 2 and a half hour journey. She is just the best! I just wish I had gone to her years earlier!

I’ve been thinking about having my brows done for a while and decided now was the right time. After a quick google search I found Carly. She had fantastic reviews so I knew I didn’t need to look any further. I had a lovely experience from start to finish. Carly was warm and friendly and made me feel at ease from the first consultation in her lovely salon, where she talked me through everything I needed to know. We decided to go for combination brows. Carly was fantastic and consulted me every step of the way, creating some lovely brows. We had a lovely chat throughout the process, providing a really nice experience. I would definitely recommend going to Carly and I’m very much looking forward to my colour boost appointment in a year or so. Thanks Carly, you’ve been fantastic! X

Fantastic experience getting my eyebrows done with Carly. Excellent pre-appointment to go through everything. Talked through every step and really took the time to see what I wanted. Gave great advice based on my hair and skin colour and skin type. Delighted with the results. Update! I have been back for my top up session today (13 August). Carly looked carefully at how my brows had healed and advised how to make them even better. A slightly darker pigment was used. Over the moon with the results 💕

About me

Having been in the beauty industry since 2001 & ran my own salons in Chesterfield for over 18 years you can rely on me to make you feel at ease and deliver the results you desire. After training in permanent brows in 2017 I decided to fully specialise in permanent make up as I just love the transformation these treatments make to my clients confidence!

I am super passionate about my work!

I get such a buzz out of seeing the before and after results and love it when my clients cry happy tears because they are so pleased with their brows. The biggest compliment I get from my clients is when they return for further treatments and recommend others and I hear so often that they really “trust me” with their face!

I work from my beautiful, cosy private brow studio where I create your dream brows tailored especially to you.

What Is Permanent
Make Up?

Permanent makeup is a cosmetic treatment that enhances your natural features with long-lasting pigment, giving you beautifully defined brows, lips, or eyeliner without the daily effort.

Using advanced techniques, the pigment is carefully implanted into the skin to create a soft, natural look that fades gradually over time. It’s perfect for anyone wanting to save time on their beauty routine while maintaining a flawless appearance every day.

You will probably have mostly heard of “Microblading” but there are different forms/styles of Permanent Makeup using different methods to implant the pigment into the skin.

Microblading: Manually using a super fine blade to create channels in the skin which look like hairstrokes. This technique creates a very natural look but is limited to what can be achieved and doesn’t suit all skin types.

Machine method: (brows, lips & areola) Using an electronically powered machine and a needle, similar to a regular tattoo (but less aggressive & using semi permanent pigment not implanted as deep as tattoo ink).

My preferred method is using the machine as I can achieve different effects such as shading, ombré and super natural hairstrokes.

I would advise booking a consultation with me to find out more and I can make recommendations to suit your skin & hair type and lifestyle.

The benefits of semi-permanent makeup include saving time and money with not needing to buy brow makeup on a regular basis and drawing on your brows daily

We all know the struggle to get those perfect symmetrical brows right?!

This treatment is perfect for a low maintenance morning routine and gives you one less thing to worry about particularly for clients with poor vision or shaky hands.

Lasting from 1-5 years before they start to fade, a colour boost session is recommended every 1-3 years to keep them looking fresh.
