Eyebrows.........a long time coming!

Part of my work is giving people beautiful permanent eyebrows. Let me tell you about one of my recent clients.
Annie (not her real name) is 82 years old. She and her husband came in together for a consultation. After asking all their questions and receiving satisfactory answers, she booked for a permanent eyebrow procedure.

Because she had physical limitations, I agreed to move all my equipment downstairs so she wouldn't have to negotiate the climb to the second floor.

The amazing thing about Annie's story is not only that she would get a cosmetic tattoo at such an age, but also that she has been without eyebrows since she was fourteen! She has a condition called Alopecia and began to lose her hair as a teenager until she lost every hair on her body.

She wears a wig and has had to painstakingly apply her eyebrows with a pencil for over sixty years!

It made me so happy to know that, since receiving the permanent eyebrows, she will be free from embarrassment, stigma and the inconvenience of daily makeup application.
