Becoming a... Brow Boss
Time to get prepped for Christmas and for many women eyebrows are top of the list.
Beauty expert and brow boss Kim O Sullivan was the first to bring Phibrows to our shores and has been transforming women’s eyebrows with this cutting edge treatment from first lady Sabina Higgins to Vogue Williams – even our editor Norah Casey has had her brows transformed at Kim’s PhiAcademy. Here is everything you need to know from Kim - one of only 25 Grand Masters Of Honour globally – in the brow world that’s an Oscar winner…
WHAT IS PHIBROWS MICROBLADING?
PhiBrows is a manual, semi-permanent tattoo treatment whereby we create hyper realistic hair strokes using the thinnest blade in the world . The shape of eyebrows is calculated according to facial morphology and golden proportion (phi 1,618). Our vegan pigments allow us to custom blend shades for the most perfect colour match .
>Results last 10-12 months (depending on many factors such as lifestyle /skin type )
>Pain is minimal (local anesthetic is used )
>It’s a two part treatment carried out four weeks apart
>Treatment time: Initial treatment 90 minutes and follow up 60 mins
WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR TREATMENT
STEP 1> Consultation and prepping of skin.
STEP 2> Shape and Symmetry - using a brow compass we map the shape in accordance with the morphology of your face to achieve a brow bespoke to your face.
STEP 3> Measurements are checked using a special app which ensures both brows are synthetically perfect.
STEP 4> We custom blend our colour and begin creating our hyper realistic hair strokes. At this stage you will expect to feel a stretching sensation but pain is minimal and will be short lived as aesthetic is applied once we’ve created the frame of the brow.
STEP 5> Once we’ve carefully created our beautiful hair strokes we now add more intricate strokes which will fill out the brow and add dimension, giving the most realistic look. At this stage you will experience no pain whatsoever.
STEP 6> We ‘mask’ the brows to ensure each hair stroke has an even distribution of pigment.
STEP 7>Treatment is complete and your beautiful new brows are revealed .
The correct brow shape can transform a face giving an instant lifting effect and awaken the eyes.
POST TREATMENT Expect your brows to fade in colour by 40-60 per cent and shrink by 10-15 per cent, this is normal and why a follow up is performed four weeks later.
