“I had a Phibrow treatment with Aisling in 2019 which has been particularly timely with Covid shutdowns and no beauty treatments available. I am delighted with the result. I now no longer use pencil and my brows are fully defined permanently. I couldn't recommend it highly enough. As the public face of a business and always on zoom calls I now, always have, ready to go brows."
