I went to Melissa Carr Cosmetic Tattooing in June 2022. My brows were munted and skinny after a plucking mishap in the 90s. Having overplucked my brows, they just never grew back, and then as I got a bit older they thinned out a bit more naturally. My dodgy make up skills required that I create a set of brows every time I wanted to go out, and they looked pretty average at best. I had been keen on Melissa's service for some time and followed her page for a number of years before finally taking the plunge and booking in with her. I have no idea why I waited so long. Melissa gave me all of the information that I needed ahead of my appointment. I knew what to expect on the day, I knew what I needed to do to prepare. I followed the instructions to the letter. On the day of my brow appointment, I arrived to find a really friendly, bright and welcoming environment. Melissa explained how the brows she was going to create for me were for every day. She explained that she was going to measure the brows up to my face and existing brow line to create brows that sit perfectly on my face. She worked with me to find the right colour pigment based on skin tone and my hair colour, and then she got right to it! The process is relatively painless given that pre-numbing is done, and it's topped up as the procedure goes on. There was just the odd pinching feeling at times, but nothing painful or serious, and really no worse than plucking. My brows came out amazing. I could not stop looking at them in the rear view mirror on my way home! After care is really important, and Melissa gave me full instructions on how to care for my brows over the coming weeks ahead of a routine check up, and also what products not to use on your brows to avoid fading. I was amused as my brows became extremely dark in the following days, but I knew through what Melissa had told me and given me to read up on, that this was a normal part of the healing process. What was revealed after the healing was a pair of natural looking, well shaped eye brows that have really been such a confidence boost for me. I truly love what Melissa created for me, and I'm looking forward to my annual colour boost coming up soon. If you've been on the fence about getting your brows done, jump over to the brow side - you will not regret getting your brows done, and you certainly will not regret placing your brows in Melissa's hands. She is an absolute pro! I highly recommend Melissa. The only question for me now is ... what do I choose from her cosmetic tattooing list next?!

I have always wanted to get my eyebrows tattooed- I am more mature now & my last experience was disappointing as the lady over plucked my natural eyebrows leaving me bald in patches. Melissa is extremely professional and took the time to discuss all the options available and I trusted her advise wholeheartedly. I HIGHLY recommend Melissa if you are looking at getting any cosmetic tattoos as it is permanent and you want the best and be happy with the results which I am 1000% happy. Attached is my before and after.

I was fortunate enough to have an appointment with Melissa, She was professional, kind, extremely thorough and explained everything in great detail before my microblading. I felt confident and at ease ( not easy when someone is about to tattoo your face!) She catered to what I wanted and I felt 100% confident to go with her advice The end result was amazing ! I can't believe I left it this long before having my sparse non existent eyebrows turned into beautifully shaped , extremely natural looking brows ! A++++ book now! You won't regret it

I can't recommend Melissa Carr Cosmetic Tattoing enough! I had my brows done recently and am so in love with them. Having something semi-permanent done to my face I wanted to make sure I found the best person, and Melissa really is the best. Professional and informative from start to finish. There is a reason her wait list is long, but if you want perfect brows then it's well worth it.

Melissa is actually amazing. I’ve had my brows done by her for the last 5 years. Had the retouched yesterday and they’re better than ever. She nailed the shape and colour and I am always being asked about my perfect brows. Best thing I’ve ever done for myself beautywise.

Excellent service, outstanding professionalism, impeccable environment including cleanliness and hygiene. Melissa is a true professional and master in her art of brows!! After extensive research into both microblading and ombre brows, I found Melissa. I initially booked for microblading but decided to change to ombre. My whole experience, this being completely new to me and my first ever tattoo, has absolutely exceeded all my expectations. Melissa goes through everything with you, putting you at ease while providing clear explanations on the whole process. I'm ecstatic with my new brows and can't stop looking at them lol. I highly recommend Melissa to everyone and anyone who is thinking about getting semi permanent cosmetic tattooing. She may have a long wait list but you will be well pleased with the end results and it's worth it. Thank you so much Melissa, see you at the follow-up appointment.

Melissa Carr was absolutely awesome and I would definitely recommend her. Very professional service, Melissa took a lot of time checking that the eyebrows she had personalised for me were exactly what I wanted. I really love them and have had so many compliments. I didn't realise how much I missed my pre-chemo eyebrows until I got new ones! Thank you Melissa, my new brows have made me so happy.

I had been thinking about cosmetic lips tattooing for a while. My lips are beautiful, just wanted to have them a little bit thicker although keeping the natural appearance. I trusted Melissa skills to do that and I am absolutely in love with the result. It has been 2 months since I had the procedure done and I can't help myself delight looking at them every time I see a mirror. If you are thinking about getting your lips done, there is no better professional than Melissa to do it. The clinic is spotless in terms of infection control and, as a biomedical scientist, I'm always strongly concerned about it. I have many words to express my happiness but, to sum up, it is worth it every coin invested and every km driven to get there.
