– Striving to provide an excellent service

SARAH Arjune got her degree in Biology at the University of Guyana and was well on her way to becoming what she’d always hope to become – a paediatrician. But life took a turn for her when circumstances changed in her life and dictated that she choose another path.
The 31-year-old had always been fascinated by the beauty industry, and even as a child, she would ‘make up’ her family members when various occasions came up. Today, Sarah couldn’t be happier that this is the field that she has ended up in.

She is one of the few persons, if not the only person, who does micro-blading in Guyana, which refers to a technique to tattoo hair-like strokes on the brows to make them look as realistic as possible.

After taking this and other beauty courses in Miami, Sarah now practices out of her own business at Lot 43 Croal and Alexander Streets, in Georgetown. She calls her business the ‘Browtique’ where such services as lash tints, facials, micro-needling, among various others, are available.

“I was always fascinated with the beauty industry since as a child. I started off doing makeup, the whole aspect of self-care and beauty,” Sarah told the Pepperpot Magazine during an interview at the Guyana Chronicle.

She began doing research and realised that no one in Guyana was doing micro-blading. “There weren’t many people doing lash extensions, so that sparked curiosity in me and it was something that made me realise this might work out,” she expressed. She subsequently enrolled for courses in Miami.

‘Mapping’ out the brows first to get the desired shape.

Explaining what micro-blading is, Sarah said: “It is a semi-permanent tattoo where you tattoo hair-like strokes on the brows to make it look as realistic as possible to your natural brows. But it’s actually a tattoo.” The process would be done in two sessions.
“Some people have long lashes and they’re straight. The lash lifting tint would curl them. This would last for two months, and you can use mascara with it to give you that fuller extension-like look,” Sarah explained.

She also does brow ‘mapping’, shaping, and tinting which she said is one of her most popular services. “Everybody is in love with it. If people want a desired shape and can’t get it, they’d just go to a salon and they would do it, they wouldn’t map it out first. But sometimes it mightn’t be pleasing to the customer. Most clients would complain of it being done too fine and not the right shape. So I always shape it out first so we can get the desired result,” Sarah said about the technique she chooses to work with.

The process of micro-blading

Most people, she noted, are not aware that the complete cycle for the brows to grow back out completely is 52 days, almost three months. “So I would let them come once a month and I would shape it and tint it and they would actually get their desired shape within the third month.”

As for those persons whose brows do not grow at all due to hereditary and other factors, Sarah said the micro-blading service would be the best solution for them.

She also does different types of facials. “My most popular facial right now is microdermabrasion and the LED light therapy paired together. The latter has to do with using different LED lights that target different skin problems.”

Sarah always tries her best to offer the best customer service. “I try to be as affordable as possible. I also like to give clients a timeframe within which they will see results. I wouldn’t say I’m perfect but I strive to be as perfect as possible. I always listen to my clients and try to understand what they want. Of course, I would advise them; people appreciate that.”
Sarah wants to be able to expand her business and even start classes to educate persons on the techniques she works with, which are hardly known.
