Meticulous is the only word. Three sessions in and my brows have never looked better.

Calm, precise, and not once did she rush me. I'd send my mum here.

Common questions

Everything first-timers ask.

Brows last 1 to 3 years before needing a colour boost. Lip blush lasts 2 to 3 years. Eyeliner and lash enhancement last 3 to 5 years. Pigment fades gently and stays true to tone. We use Permablend and Evenflo, two of the most trusted pigment brands in the world. An annual touch-up keeps everything looking fresh.
Yes. Sam's biggest client demographic is ethnic women aged 28 to 45, and dark lip neutralisation for melanin-rich skin is one of her most-booked specialities. Both Permablend and Evenflo pigment ranges have shades developed specifically for deeper skin tones, and Sam custom-mixes every session to match your undertone.
Blade Boutique is inside Balance Wellness Centre at 8 Tin Road, Bromhof, Randburg. The studio serves Johannesburg, Sandton, Northriding, Fourways and Pretoria, with clients occasionally travelling from Durban and Cape Town.
Sam numbs thoroughly before and during the session. Most clients describe it as mild discomfort, similar to tweezing. Lips are the most sensitive, and a layered numbing protocol is used for lip blush and dark lip neutralisation.
Plan for 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours max for your initial session — pigment session itself is 60 to 90 minutes, with the rest being consultation, mapping, numbing and aftercare brief. Follow-up and perfection sessions run 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Days 1 to 3: pigment looks bold. Days 4 to 10: scabbing and lightening. Weeks 2 to 4: pigment reappears soft and natural. Your included perfection session at around 4 weeks fine-tunes the final result.
