POWDER BROWS

Powder brows are achieved through a meticulous process of tattoo shading, offering a softer and more natural appearance. This method mimics the look of conventional brow makeup but with the longevity of a tattoo, ensuring your brows are perfectly shaped and filled at all times.

MICROBROWS

Microbrows is the name of our service. The technique we perform is a process called microblading. It's more superficial than tattooing; the strokes of pigment we implant imitate eyebrow hairs, appearing crisp and extremely fine, perfectly mimicking real hair.

  • "You won't be disappointed!"

    “I had my brows microbladed by Jody back in 2016.  She did a great job and I'm so happy with the results!  Love the salon and everyone there makes you feel so welcome and comfortable.  Had a touch up in 2017 and plan on going back yearly!  You won't be disappointed with Swamp Mermaid!”

  • "The whole place was a vibe"

    “My first time at Swamp Mermaid was so great. The whole place was a vibe, so clean, and love the decor. When I walked in, I was welcomed by my stylist Alyce, who was so kind. She listened to my concerns with my hair and asked lots of good questions to help me get the perfect haircut. I felt like Alyce paid great attention to detail when giving me my haircut. I felt like I got a luxury experience.”

  • "A one stop shop for all things beauty!"

    “This is such a cute little spot in Mueller! There are so many services at this salon. This can definitely be a one stop shop for all things beauty! I came in to get my highlights done from Tori, an emerging stylist here. I was treated and felt like she has been in this industry for YEARS. Not only was she personable but she was confident. I could tell the experienced stylists here also carry a lot of knowledge.”

  • "The artists at Swamp Mermaid Beauty Project are true visionaries"

    “From the moment I walked into the salon, I felt a cool and relaxed atmosphere enveloping me. The warm greeting I received immediately put me at ease, setting the tone for what would be an incredible experience. The artists at Swamp Mermaid are true visionaries, crafting what can only be described as works of art. As I observed them in action, I couldn't help but be captivated by their creativity and skill. It's not just a salon; it's a hub of artistic expression that transforms people into walking masterpieces.”

  • "Jody is AMAZING!!"

    “For years I have wanted to get my brows done and I feel so blessed to have found such an amazing place to do it. Being able to do this with such a great artist like Jody was one of the best things I've done this year. It truly changed my life and I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. I have so much love and respect for the staff at the Swamp for helping me restore my confidence with my brows. I knew the transformation would be good but I didn't expect to be so incredibly happy with them EVERYDAY I look at it. Mermaid Brows truly are the BEST brows. Don't bother looking anywhere else!”

    — ALEXANDRIA D. | YELP!

  • "Best brows ever!"

    “I can't say enough great things about Jody and the microblading process. I've gotten my brows tinted before and seen a minor difference, but this process takes it to the next level. Forget about any other brow experience you've ever had. Jody's passion for creating the perfect brow was apparent, and she took my face shape and existing brows into consideration to keep things looking natural. They look the way they're supposed to now and I don't even have to fill in with a pencil! This will completely change your brows in the best way possible. Totally worth the investment.”

  • "I instantly felt very welcome"

    “I had a friend recommend Swamp Mermaid and I instantly felt very welcome here. Not only is the shop super cute and in a great location the girls are sweet, attentive and really work as a team to make sure you get the best care for whatever treatment you are receiving. I had Rebekah color and cut my hair and I was sooo happy with the process (fast) and the outcome (beautiful and natural and just what I wanted). She was just genuine and thorough and overall has what I look for when testing out a new salon. Needless to say I will be a returning client here!”

  • " I left absolutely loving the results!"

    “Rebekah is an artist and I am beyond amazed with her expertise! I just moved to Austin and the stress of finding a new hairdresser is real. On my first visit, I immediately felt comfortable and asked for her suggestions; I left absolutely loving the results! Not to mention, she's also a kind, enthusiastic, and positive gal who I feel lucky to spend a little time with!”
