One treatment we're hearing a lot about at the moment is eyebrow microblading, and former Coronation Street star Kimberly Hart-Simpson is about to put an even bigger spotlight on the transformational treatment.

This semi-permanent, tattoo procedure uses a fine-tip, handheld tool that picks up ink and implants the colour down in the dermis, the second layer of skin, resulting in long-lasting fine strokes of hair that mimic the real thing. It's great for everyone, but it's particularly life-changing for those with thin, sparse or patchy brows. In Kimberly's case, it's "no brows".

The 37 year old captions the new Instagram story showing her results: "Right I keep forgetting to do this so let me do it right this second. For those who have asked about my eyebrows (and the healing process) this is them fully healed.

She adds: "In short Brows by Sarah is the best ever. I have no hair there (no I didn't overpluck in the 90s) but for some reason genetics forgot to give me eyebrows. But it's ok because I've got Sarah now."

Microblading is always a popular treatment, but it seems celebs are all rushing to have it done pre-summer. Kimberly joins the likes of Ellie Goulding and Stacey Solomon, who have both debuted semi-permanent brow transformations of their own in recent weeks.

Stacey took to TikTok to debut the results of her own microblade makeover, which left her beaming. In the video shared by beauty salon Love Talya, Stacey got a first look at her new permanent brows after undergoing a microblading treatment, and it’s safe to say she was happy with the results.

As for Ellie, the singer posted the results to her Instagram, captioning it: "I asked for eyebrows and I bloody got them guys #microblading Please fear not… they fade (I hope)," adding a laughing face emoji for good measure.
