Client review from Harriett - “Emily is absolutely incredible at her job. Had both my eyebrows microbladed and lip blush done with her. They are both perfect- I am so happy with them. It's actually been life changing and I am much more confident. Working nights, I was fed up of always looking tired and old! But now I feel way more put together without feeling 'made up'. I've had so many compliments! Emily is super approachable and helpful. Her care throughout and the aftercare is amazing. She's not pushy at all but her recommendations are absolutely spot on. Best thing I've had done and zero regrets at all. So grateful to Emily! ”
💖 My Signature Treatments
Each treatment is completely bespoke — designed to enhance your features, match your style, and last beautifully.
1️⃣ Microblading - Natural Hair Stroke Perfection
Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing technique that creates beautifully natural-looking eyebrows, hair stroke by hair stroke. Using a specialised manual tool (not a tattoo gun), I implant pigment just beneath the skin, mimicking the look of real hair with precise, soft strokes.
Perfect if you:
- Have sparse, over-plucked, or uneven brows
- Want a natural, no-makeup finish
- Prefer a subtle enhancement that looks like you were born with perfect brows
Results last 12–18 months, with touch-ups keeping them fresh for years.
💬 Worried about pain?
You’ll be pleasantly surprised — most clients describe the sensation as light scratching, not pain. With professional-grade numbing and a calming approach, clients often say they relax or even nap during the procedure.
2️⃣ Combination Brows - The Best Of Both Worlds
Can’t decide between natural and defined? Combo brows blend microbladed hair strokes with soft shading for realistic yet perfectly framed brows.
✅ Natural at the front
✅ Polished at the tail
✅ Defined, dimensional, and beautifully balanced
Perfect for:
- Clients with some natural brow hair who want fuller definition
- Those with combination or oily skin
- Anyone who wants both softness and structure
Lasts 12–18 months before a refresh. The ideal “makeup look” that still feels effortless.
3️⃣ Ombré Powder Brows - Polished, Long-Lasting Beauty
Ombré powder brows create a soft, powdered makeup look that’s flawlessly blended — lighter at the front, gradually deeper at the tail.
This technique uses a machine method to build pigment with tiny dots, resulting in smooth, airbrushed dimension that looks professionally applied 24/7.
Perfect for:
- All skin types (including oily, mature, or sensitive)
- Clients wanting longer-lasting results (1–3 years!)
- Those who prefer a makeup finish that stays flawless in every setting
✨ Gentle, long-lasting, and low maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
Where are you located?
My clinic is in Retford, 108 Carolgate, DN22 6AS 📍
How long does it last?
If applied by a highly skilled PMU Artist, & properly cared for, Microbladed brows can last in excess of 2 years.
When will I need a top up?
I recommend a top up between 10-18 months, but Microblading can last for in excess of 2 years.
How much does it cost?
In the UK, Microblading prices range from approx £200 - £450. This depends on your location & other factors such as the Artisits overheads, level of skill & more.
The total cost for Microblading treatment with Emily at Nixie Permanent Cosmetics is £350.
How many appointments will I need?
The process is split over 2 appointments for your complete eyebrow transformation, & is 1 appointment for your top up.
How long does it take?
I usually allow 30 mins for your Consultation, 2-3 hrs for your Application & 1-2 hrs for your Top Up.
If you're having a full eyebrow transformation (2 appointments), you will need to book in approx 6 weeks from your Application for your Top Up.
What happens at my Application appointment?
I usually allow 2-3 hrs for a full transformation, or 1-2 hrs for a touch up. We would discuss this at your Consultation, so you can plan your time out. Your application consists of completing consent forms, mapping out your new brows or lips, choosing your desired colour & the application itself. You will also receive your complimentary aftercare pack, & we will thoroughly discuss your responsibilities for aftercare, so you get the best results from your treatment.
What happens at my Top Up appointment?
Your Top Up will take place 4-6 weeks after your initial Application. This is to ensure the area has healed fully. Your Top Up consists of discussing the healed results & touching up any areas in which we feel require it. This appointment will cost £50.
How do I best care for my new brows?
By following the aftercare instructions that I provide to you on your Application appointment. Aftercare is so important & will be the make or break of your new eyebrows. Your body needs time to heal, without proper healing, your results won't be as good (been there, done that!)
Can I bring someone with me to my appointment?
You're welcome to bring a companion to your Consultation appointment, but unfortunately, you must attend your permanent make up appointment alone. Also, due to insurance reasons, under 18's are not permitted in my clinic at any time.
