Brows by Helen at the studio.
Brows, one hair stroke at a time
Natural-looking permanent makeup for brows, lips and liner. Before your first session we ideally arrange a brow tidy to map and shape your brows, talk about what you would like, and complete the patch test and forms.
Microblading
A natural form of cosmetic tattooing, using a handheld tool with nano or micro needles and carefully selected pigments to create strokes that mimic natural hairs. Perfect if you wear little to no make up, suitable for both men and women, ideally with normal or dry skin.
Powder and combo brows
For oily or combination skin, powder brows or combo brows are the method to look at.
Blade and shade
The dream team: crisp, clean microbladed hair strokes through a third of the brow (or more if needed), reinforced with a soft dusting of pixels, creating the illusion of hair with the definition of makeup.
Top ups and colour boosts
A second session completes and fine-tunes the brows. After a year, an annual colour boost freshens them, because pigment changes as we age and expose our skin to the sun and natural elements.

A £100 non-refundable booking fee secures a permanent makeup date. Changes need 5 working days' notice, or the fee covers the facility costs unless the appointment can be filled.
Medical tattooing, after surgery, trauma and treatment
Restorative tattooing that helps restore confidence after an accident, surgery or trauma: 3D areola tattooing, scar and stretch-mark restoration, and scar camouflage, all in a private, one-to-one studio.
3D areola tattooing
Single side or both sides, with second treatments available.
- Single side £180.00
- Both sides £300.00
Breast surgery scar camouflage
Blending scars that heal white or pale pink after surgery.
- Bilateral £300.00
Scar revision and medical tattooing
MCA and medical tattooing for scars, burns and stretch marks.
- from £60.00
Tattoo and PMU removal
LI-FT removal, and laser tattoo removal as a new service.
- LI-FT from £60.00
MCA, explained
MCA (Multi-Trepannic Collagen Actuation) is an inkless needling technique. Medical-grade needles create micro-trauma that stimulates collagen, helping to improve the look of scars, burns and stretch marks. For one client, left with a large abdominal scar and no belly button after life-saving surgery, several sessions of MCA softened the scar tissue before medical tattooing recreated a realistic, three-dimensional belly button.
I have worked with people recovering from:
- Mastectomies
- Breast augmentation
- Body contouring surgery
- Burns
- Gender-affirming procedures
- Significant weight loss

HD Brows, lamination and LVL lashes
HD Brows is a bespoke eyebrow treatment, totally tailored to you, not a brow stencil in sight. I have been trained by HD to their highest level, Master Stylist, and combine their design formula with custom-blended colour, hair removal and make up application for brows that suit you.
LVL (length, volume, lift) uses a setting serum to straighten your natural lashes at the root so they look curled up, then a tint gives the look of mascara. Perfect if you're on the go, or to avoid those panda eyes on holiday.
First appointments for LVL and lash tints need a patch test 48 hours before.

Helen, to the Ely Standard
Hello, I'm Helen
I left a long corporate career for work with a better work-life balance, and permanent makeup began as a creative venture. It soon became much more than that.
After losing a close family friend to cancer in 2020, I looked at how my skills could help people dealing with more than cosmetic concerns. After a lot of research I trained in areola reconstruction, scar and stretch-mark restoration, and scar camouflage. I had the honour of helping a friend through part of her cancer journey with 3D areola tattoo restoration, something that is no longer available on the NHS.
For brows and lashes, I'm trained by HD Brows to their highest level, Master Stylist. We work with you to create your perfect look, whether you wish to tame bushy brows or regrow overplucked eyebrows.
“Many clients arrive anxious or self-conscious, carrying difficult memories, and a private, one-to-one setting gives them space for the kind of sensitive conversation that rarely happens in a busy salon.”

Sam Fella's brows.
“Had my brows done by Helen at The Brow & Body Studio last week and I’m absolutely thrilled with them. Having gone from very sparse, fair brows that were barely visible to beautifully shaped but natural looking brows I couldn’t be happier. Helen is extremely knowledgeable and professional but also very friendly and made me feel completely at ease. I’m now 6 days post procedure and the healing process has so far been text book and I’m very excited about seeing the final result. Before and after photos attached and for reference I had Nano Hairstrokes. Would highly recommend 😊”
“I recently had my eyebrows microbladed by helan, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the moment I walked in, she made me feel comfortable and thoroughly explained everything she was doing throughout the process, which really put me at ease. Helen has a unbelievably steady hand and an incredible eye for detail. My brows look natural, beautiful, and exactly how I envisioned them. The whole experience was professional, relaxing, and surprisingly painless. I’ve gotten so many compliments already, and I feel so much more confident. If you’re thinking about microblading, I highly recommend Helen. Shes amazing!!”
“I’m absolutely delighted with my new brows! Helen was so lovely, professional, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the whole process. She took such care to explain everything and create the perfect shape for me, and the results are amazing. Thank you, Helen, for your incredible work and for making the experience so enjoyable. I would highly recommend you to anyone considering microblading! 💕✨”
“I had my brows done a few days ago, they are healing nicely. Helen has been lovely & professional from the beginning, giving me all the advice needed during my consultations as I had my brows previously done and needed to be laser so we could start fresh. I’m very happy with the results so far and can’t wait for my touch up. Highly recommend Helen. Thanks xx”
“Absolutely over the moon with my new perfect eyebrows. It was wonderful to meet Helen, she is very knowledgeable and informative about the whole process and incredibly artistic. Super Clean with a beautiful environment. So much time given to make sure you are happy. Thank you so much for a wonderful first experience at micro balding.”

“This treatment of powder brows was amazing. It has given me confidence in my appearance following chemotherapy. Helen is a perfectionist and is passionate about her work. I highly recommend the Brow and Beauty studio Ely.”
“Absolutely over the moon with my new brows…I over plucked for years but Helen has given me back the brows I’ve dreamed of having. I cannot recommend her enough, I felt at ease and relaxed from the second I walked in…a true perfectionist down to the very last hair stroke 🤍”
“Helen is so welcoming and put me at ease immediately. I loved my appointment, and the results! So great to be in such capable hands. 😍”
“A consultation that felt very professional and reassuring.”
