Eyeliner.
From the softest lash enhancement through to a full flick. Natural looking, individualised work, drawn to your eye shape and your colouring, because no two people are ever the same.
We discuss your optionsin your consultation.
You don't need to arrive knowing which one you want. We look at your eye shape, your lid and what you actually want to wake up to, then create your customised plan.
Upper Eyelash Enhancer
The softest of them all. A fine line worked between the lashes, giving definition and the look of a fuller lash line with no visible liner.
£230Upper Eyeliner
A defined line along the upper lid, drawn to suit your eye shape rather than a set template.
£280Eyelash Enhancer Combination
Enhancement on both upper and lower lash lines. Definition all the way round, still without a visible liner.
£290Upper Eyeliner with a small flick
Upper liner finished with a subtle flick at the outer corner.
£290Eyeliner including lower
Defined liner on upper and lower lids.
£320Eyeliner with a small flick, including lower

£330Upper Eyeliner with the Penny Flick

£330Eyeliner including lower, with the Penny Flick
The full look. Upper and lower liner finished with the Penny Flick.
£360The Penny Flick is named after our very own Penny. It's the boldest of the flicks we do, and it isn't for everyone. Phil will map it on your own eye shape first, so you can see it.
Two appointments,five to eight weeks apart.
Permanent makeup isn't finished on the day. The second appointment is where it's finished, and it's included in the price.
Consultation and shaping
We map the line on before anything else happens, and nothing starts until you've seen it and agreed it.
Colour
Pigment mixed to your colouring, not picked off a chart, and adjusted as the shape settles.
The treatment
Topical anaesthetic, applied and reapplied through the appointment. The eyelid is a sensitive area and we check in with you throughout.
Retouch, five to eight weeks
Included. Healing is individual, and this is where any adjustment to the line, its thickness or its tone is made.
Expect swellingfor a few days.
The eyelid holds fluid more than anywhere else on the face. Colour also sits up to around forty per cent darker than the healed result until the skin settles. This is all completely normal.
- Day 1 to 2
- Bolder and darker than you expected, with swelling and tenderness on the lid. This is all completely normal.
- Day 3 to 5
- Swelling settles. Some flaking begins. Please don't pick or help it along.
- Day 7 to 10
- Flaking finishes. The line often looks too light at this point. Again, completely normal.
- Week 2 to 4
- Colour rises back up through the skin as it settles, and the line evens out.
- Week 5
- The healed result, and the point from which your retouch is planned.
Preparation and aftercareare as important as the treatment.
We look after the treatment itself. Everything either side of it is yours to look after, and it matters more than most people expect.
Before you come
- Remove lash extensions at least three days beforehand.
- No lash tinting for two weeks beforehand.
- Please don't wear contact lenses to your appointment.
- No alcohol the night before.
- Go easy on caffeine on the day.
- If you take aspirin or blood thinners, speak to your doctor first.
Afterwards
- Swelling and tenderness for up to five days is normal.
- Follow the aftercare you're given. It's individual: some clients are given a balm, others heal better dry, and we'll tell you which you are.
- No eye makeup for seven to ten days.
- No steam rooms, saunas, public baths or extreme heat for seven to ten days.
- Wait three to four weeks before new lash extensions.
- No lash tinting for at least two weeks afterwards.
- Please don't pick the flaking. It'll cost you pigment.
Why every tattooed pigmentcools over time.
Nobody in this industry likes explaining this. We would rather you heard it from us before the treatment than from the internet a year afterwards.
It's optics, not workmanship. Pigment sitting in the dermis scatters light in a way that reads cooler than the pigment's true colour. It's the same effect that makes veins look blue when the blood in them is red, and it's called the Tyndall effect. It happens in all skin, at every skill level, with every pigment brand on the market.
There's a second, smaller factor. The warmer elements in a pigment blend fade faster than the more stable ones, which nudges the tone cooler as it ages.
Technique, pigment quality and depth of placement affect how evenly and how quickly this happens. They don't stop it happening. No practitioner, however skilled, and no pigment, however well engineered, can eliminate it. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling you something.
Which is why a colour boost exists. Warmer tones are worked back into the pigment on a schedule, ahead of the cooling becoming visible, rather than after.
Every twelve toeighteen months.
Your colour boost date is taken from your last appointment with us, so the sooner you come back the less it costs. Multiple treatment colour boosts taken at the same appointment attract a ten per cent discount.

The DPC Colour Boost Club. Exclusive to our existing clients. You pay monthly by direct debit, on the first of the month, for a cycle of twelve months. Your annual colour boost is covered once all payments are completed. Uno is £15 a month and entitles you to your seven to eighteen month colour boost, worth £180. Duo is £27 a month and covers both colour boosts taken in the same session.
Once you're ready to book, a pass appears on your account so you can book online with no deposit, or by calling or messaging us. There's nothing more to pay on the day.
This isn't a credit agreement. You're paying for the year ahead of your colour boost, not afterwards. You can keep the membership running or cancel it after twelve months.
We're always happy to colour boost another technician's work, but please assume your first appointment with us will be charged at the full new treatment price. It usually involves a full consultation, a redesign and a retouch, so it isn't eligible for colour boost pricing at that first appointment.
The ones everybodyasks in the room.
Does it hurt?
It should not, no. A topical anaesthetic is used and reapplied throughout your appointment. The eyelid is sensitive and most clients describe it as a strange sensation rather than a painful one. We'll check in with you throughout.
Will my eyes swell?
Some swelling and tenderness on the lid is normal and can last up to five days. It settles on its own. If you have anything important in the diary, plan around it.
I wear lash extensions. What do I do?
They need to come off at least three days before your appointment, and you'll need to wait three to four weeks afterwards before having them reapplied, so the area heals properly.
Can I wear my contact lenses?
Not to the appointment, and not immediately afterwards. Bring your glasses.
How long does it last?
Anywhere between one and five years, depending on your skin, your lifestyle and sun exposure. A colour boost every twelve to eighteen months keeps the line where you want it.
What's the Penny Flick?
Our boldest flick, named after our very own Penny. It suits some eyes beautifully and not others, and Phil will say which you're before he starts.
How long is the appointment?
Allow around two hours for a new treatment, including your consultation, the mapping and the colour match. Your retouch at five to eight weeks is shorter.
Do I need a patch test?
Patch testing is arranged per treatment, so it depends what you're having done. We'll tell you at your consultation whether yours needs one and when it has to be done.
What if I need to cancel?
Permanent makeup appointments need five working days' notice, because they're long appointments and the time is difficult to fill. Without that notice the £30 deposit is forfeited and payable again on rebooking.
Start with afree consultation.
You leave with a plan, and you take as long as you need to decide. Once you step through our door the time is all about you. Phil is in clinic Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, nine until six.
