JOY IS NOW IN LIVERPOOL
Introducing Gabrielle
Gabrielle began her PMU journey at just 18 and has since become an award-winning artist, earning 1st place at the UK PMU Conference in 2019 and 2nd place at the World Championship in Amsterdam. With a deep passion for her craft, she has completed over 40 advanced courses worldwide and has been featured in local news and national television.
Specialising in Microblading, Machine Hairstrokes, LI-FT tattoo removal, Cheek Tint Tattoo, Saturated Lip Blush, and Cleft Lip Restoration—her most rewarding treatment—Gabrielle is dedicated to enhancing confidence through permanent makeup.
A Note from Gabrielle:
“Teaming up with JOY is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Having faced grief and trauma myself, I’m passionate about supporting others through similar challenges. I may not be a therapist, but I’m an empath—and pretty good at tattooing! If my work can help someone feel even a little better about themselves, I’m more than happy to offer my services. ❤️”

CONTRAINDICATIONS
First of all, what a lovely place to have a treatment! Sophie’s was informative throughout the whole process and her attention to detail is incredible.
I love my lip blush as I’ve got older the colour in my lips had faded as well as my lip line migrating. Sophie has made them look so natural as well as creating perfect symmetry and the cutest cupids bow highly recommend!
