ABOUT ME
SARA DUANE
If you're seeking expertise in Permanent Cosmetics, Medical Tattooing or need help addressing hair loss concerns, your quest for the perfect professional has led you to the right place. Hello, I'm Sara Duane. My journey began over 27 years ago in the world of hairdressing, driven by a passion for both creativity and compassionate care. When I embarked on my career as a consultant stylist for one of the UK's foremost cosmetic hair loss clinics in London, it felt like the perfect alignment of my aspirations. My daily work, devoted to enhancing the confidence of individuals battling Alopecia, served as a profound source of inspiration. This motivation led me to expand my horizons into the realms of Permanent Cosmetics, Microblading, Medical Tattooing and more.
I began my career in 1997, driven by a passion for helping people feel their best. In 2013, I embraced an exciting opportunity with the renowned Lucinda Ellery Consultancy, one of the U.K.’s leading cosmetic hair loss clinics. Working at their London head office introduced me to the transformative power of cosmetic hair solutions, igniting my commitment to this field.
In 2014, inspired to expand my offerings, I trained in microblading, permanent makeup, and medical tattooing. Now, with over a decade of experience, I now have clinics in Maidstone, Beckenham, and Bristol, providing specialised services that blend artistry with compassion.
My offerings include natural, undetectable permanent cosmetics for brows, eyes, and lips, as well as medical tattooing, like areola and 3D nipple tattooing. I also provide scar reduction and camouflage treatments, along with personalised hair loss solutions such as wig consultancy and scalp micropigmentation for men and women.
Each treatment I offer is designed to restore confidence and empower my clients, reflecting the passion that has driven me since day one.
Not only am I a Microblading and Permanent Makeup Specialist, I am also a qualified and widely respected and trusted Microblading and Permanent Makeup Educator, Trainer and Assessor.
After spending several years working and travelling all over the U.K as a trainer for one of the UK’s largest training academies, I realised my passion for sharing my knowledge. I wanted more freedom to be creative with my teaching style, so I decided to develop my own training courses and a blended technique of training that gets results.
I am now delivering my own fully accredited courses to new students entering the industry as well as masterclasses in advanced techniques for qualified artists. Training is available on a one to one basis in Maidstone in Kent, Abbots Leigh near Bristol in Somerset and Brighton in East Sussex.
My motivation for the work I do, is how it makes people feel, instilling confidence and offering support to those who need it. I offer as much time as possible to clients in need of my medical treatments free of charge every month. I call this service “Pay with a Smile”. Past recipients of these treatments have been cancer survivors in need of areola or nipple tattooing and transgender patients needing help with their transition.
I have also offered scar relaxation and camouflage services to those with disfigurements caused by accidents. These treatments are available to anyone in need who otherwise wouldn’t be able to have the treatment such as burns victims and even those going through end of life care in hospice. If you or someone you know could benefit from these services please get in touch.
Breast cancer affects women all over the world. Every 10 minutes a woman in the UK is diagnosed with breast cancer.
Breast cancer prevention and women’s health are subjects that are very close to my heart. Sadly, I speak with and meet women that need my areola tattooing and medical tattooing services far too often.
Breast cancer cases have doubled in the last 50 years. Around 56,000 women and 400 men are diagnosed every year.
Early detection saves lives. When found early, survival is 99%. The sooner a person is diagnosed, the sooner they can get the treatment they need and the better their risk of survival.
I am passionate about raising awareness about breast cancer. October is breast cancer awareness month, but we really need to be educating women (and men) and raising awareness all year round.
I am doing my part by volunteering as a Global Educator for breast cancer charity Know Your Lemons. A charity dedicated to improving early detection of breast cancer through education. To fond out more about Know Your Lemons and to download the App click here.
