About So Bare Faced

Bare Your Confidence

Founded by Chè, a certified Permanent Makeup Artist, So Bare Faced was born from passion, precision, and the desire to help clients feel confidently themselves — every single day.

After more than 20 years in the oil industry, Chè followed her heart to Sussex in 2024 to train under Katy Jobbins, one of the UK’s leading educators at The Permanent Makeup Academy. From that very first day, she was captivated by the artistry and the science of beauty that lasts.

Now based at Pink Lily Studio in Aberdeen, So Bare Faced combines expert craftsmanship, medical-grade technology, and personal care to deliver results that are both natural and transformative.

Semi-Permanent Makeup — also known as Micropigmentation — is a refined cosmetic technique that has evolved from the ancient traditions of body art and modern medical aesthetics. What once began thousands of years ago as natural pigment markings used by Egyptian queens and Eastern healers to enhance beauty has now transformed into a precise, medical-grade art form.

At So Bare Faced, we use this advanced craft to create natural-looking enhancements that beautifully complement your individual features. Every treatment is designed with precision, care, and a deep understanding of facial symmetry and skin science.

Using the latest digital machines and high-quality hypoallergenic pigments, Chè crafts bespoke results that mimic the softness of natural makeup — enhancing your brows, eyes, or lips with effortless perfection.

Semi-Permanent Makeup

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical hair restoration technique that creates the illusion of fuller, thicker hair through the art of precise microdot pigmentation.

Originally developed as a medical-grade solution for hair loss, SMP has evolved into a trusted, life-changing treatment for both men and women — helping restore confidence, redefine hairlines, and camouflage thinning or scarring.

At So Bare Faced, every SMP session is a collaboration between advanced artistry and technical precision.

Using specialised pigments and ultra-fine needles, we replicate natural hair follicles with remarkable accuracy, blending seamlessly with your skin tone and existing hair

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)

At So Bare Faced, we understand that tattoos tell stories — but sometimes, those stories no longer represent who you are today.

Our advanced laser removal treatments offer a safe, precise, and effective way to fade or completely remove unwanted ink while keeping your skin healthy, smooth, and radiant.

Using the latest ND YAG Laser technology, we target pigment particles deep beneath the skin’s surface. The laser gently breaks down these particles into microscopic fragments, which the body naturally clears over time — revealing lighter, cleaner skin with each session.

Every treatment is tailored to your skin type, tattoo depth, and pigment colour. Whether you’re preparing for a cover-up, removing an outdated design, or simply refreshing your skin, you’ll experience minimal discomfort, no scarring, and clinically proven results.

Highly recommended Che at So bare faced, she makes you feel so comfortable and always checking how you are through out your treatment. I got the lip blush and there is so much colours to choose from which is perfect. Very professional and felt at ease the whole time. Perfect for summer holidays or just day to day wear with a bit of gloss now

Common Questions

Is There Parking?

Yes! We have free parking provided for guests at the rear of the salon :)

Is The Treatment Painful?

Not at all - comfort is our priority. A high-level numbing cream is applied before every procedure to ensure the process is as relaxed and pain-free as possible. Most clients describe the sensation as only a mild scratching or tingling feeling.

How Long Do Results Last?

Results vary by treatment and skin type. Semi-permanent makeup typically lasts 1–3 years, SMP around 3–5 years, and laser removal requires several sessions for complete fading. We’ll guide you on maintenance for the best long-term results.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

It depends on your treatment and skin type. Most PMU and SMP services are achieved in 2–3 sessions, while tattoo removal can take 4–8 sessions depending on ink depth and color.

Do I Need To Prepare For The Appointment?

Yes — avoid caffeine, alcohol, and intense sun exposure 24 hours before your appointment. For PMU and SMP, please arrive with a clean, makeup-free face or scalp.

Can I Get Treatment If I'm Pregnant Or Breastfeeding?

For safety reasons, we don’t perform PMU or laser treatments during pregnancy or breastfeeding. You’re welcome to book once your doctor clears you postpartum.

How Should I Care For My Skin After Treatment?

You’ll receive full aftercare instructions before you leave the salon. Avoid makeup, saunas, or swimming for a few days, and keep the area clean and moisturized for optimal healing.

What Is Your Cancellation Policy?

We have a cancellation policy of 48 hours! after your free consultation we require a £50 deposit - cancellation within the 48 hours will result in loss of the deposit.
