Bringing out your best features

Permanent makeup is about more than saving time in the mirror. It's the confidence to feel effortlessly beautiful every day.

For over 15 years, I've helped women across Devon and the South West wake up with brows, lips and eyeliner that look soft, natural, and completely their own. My clients often say they feel like the best version of themselves, enhanced, but never overdone.

With over 2,000 happy clients and a reputation for artistry and care, I'm proud to have built a studio where every treatment is personalised to you, from your first consultation to your final touch-up.

Georgie, permanent makeup artist at Gemma Henderson PMU

Georgie

"Hi, I'm Georgie. I trained with Gemma Henderson PMU, qualifying in 2022 after extensive training and case study work, and I currently specialise in hairstroke and ombré brow techniques.

As a perfectionist with a keen eye for detail, I take great care and pride in my work. I believe precision and skill are key to creating beautiful results. My goal is for you to leave feeling confident, happy, and with your best brows yet!"

Sophie, fine line tattoo artist at Gemma Henderson PMU

Sophie

Sophie Dean is our fine line tattoo artist, working from the studio by appointment alongside the permanent makeup practice. She specialises in delicate, single-needle linework: small, meaningful pieces, from florals and script to fine geometric and minimalist designs.

Every piece is drawn bespoke, with real care taken over the meaning behind it. Clients consistently praise her artistry, her clear communication, and the calm, unhurried way she works.

Devon at the laser machine, laser tattoo removal technician at Gemma Henderson PMU

Devon

Devon runs the laser side of the studio, a qualified aesthetics practitioner carrying out safe, effective laser tattoo and permanent makeup removal with a medical-grade Q-switched Nd:YAG laser.

Whether you're fading an old tattoo, correcting unwanted permanent makeup, or clearing the way for a fresh start, every plan begins with a free consultation and patch test to map out your sessions.

Abby, nail technician at Gemma Henderson PMU

Abby

Abby looks after the nail side of the studio, specialising in elevated natural nail care: beautifully clean manicures and pedicures with a real focus on nail health, attention to detail, and that effortless "your nails, but better" finish.

Her style is minimal, fresh and timeless. Perfectly prepped cuticles, glossy natural nails, soft neutral shades and crisp French finishes. She believes the smallest details make the biggest difference, and her approach is centred on enhancing rather than transforming.

An appointment with Abby is meant to be more than just having your nails done. She has built in a moment to slow down, a calm space where you can switch off, have some time to yourself, and leave feeling polished and put together.
