Brows that look like your own, only better

Hairstroke brows are created using delicate, precise strokes designed to mimic the appearance of real brow hairs.

This technique focuses on enhancing what is already there, filling in gaps and improving shape while keeping the overall result very natural and lightweight.

The finished result is subtle and refined, making it a popular choice for those who want the most natural-looking outcome possible. Each stroke is carefully placed to follow the direction of your natural hair growth, ensuring the brows look soft, realistic and in harmony with your features.

Is hairstroke right for you?

This treatment is best suited to those with relatively normal to dry skin, where the strokes can heal cleanly and retain their definition.

A great choice if you

  • Have normal to dry skin, so fine strokes heal crisp and clear
  • Have some natural brow hair and want to fill gaps or improve symmetry
  • Want the most natural result possible, with no shading or makeup effect
  • Have brows that have thinned with age, over-plucking or hair loss

Another technique may suit you better if you

  • Have oily skin or open pores, where fine strokes can soften as they heal. Ombré powder brows hold their shape better.
  • Like a fuller, more defined look. Combination brows add soft shading through the body of the brow.

Not sure? Claire will look at your skin and brows at your consultation and recommend the technique that will heal best for you.

Your appointment, step by step

The experience is calm, considered and never rushed. Nothing is started until you are completely happy with your shape and colour.

  1. Consultation

    Claire talks through the look you want, looks at your skin and existing brows, and recommends the right technique. A patch test is carried out before treatment.

  2. Brow mapping

    Your new shape is measured and drawn on to suit your face, then adjusted until it feels right. You see exactly how your brows will look before any treatment begins.

  3. Colour matching

    Claire mixes a shade to suit your skin tone and hair colour, allowing for how the pigment softens as it heals.

  4. Treatment

    Numbing cream keeps you comfortable while each stroke is placed to follow your natural hair growth. Allow around two and a half hours for your appointment.

  5. Healing

    Brows look stronger at first and soften to a natural finish over the following 7-14 days. You'll go home with full aftercare instructions.

  6. Top-up

    A follow-up appointment around 6-8 weeks later perfects the shape and density once your skin has fully healed.

What hairstroke clients say

Claire is a genius! She has given me the shape I used to have (but better) in the natural hairstroke style. My procedure was carried out in a comfortable setting, and they are healing beautifully. I love my new brows.

Kimberley Wimble, Google review
  • Claire has done amazing job at giving me definition and shape back on my brows after years of over plucking.

    Claire recommended hair strokes to start for a more natural look and was absolutely right. I am very pleased with the end result.

  • I laid on a very comfortable bed whilst Claire delicately drew on individual strands of hair to replace my long lost ones ! The process took around an hour and at the end I had a superb pair of perfect brows ! I was seriously impressed.

    Vicki Hillman
  • I didn't want mine to be too dominant on my face, so Claire did natural hair strokes for me and it honestly looks so natural, no one can believe that they are tattoos!
